I had never heard of "Neighbor to Neighbor" before. While talking to

"Great Clips" She told me that a local flyer she gets in the mail N2N
had a coupon for a discount on haircuts. I found out that there is an
online version of N2N. I went online and printed a coupon and took it
in to "Great Clips" for a haircut. I now get N2N in the mail.

I really get tired of having to move stuff from the mailbox to the
trash can.

I would say the most likely thing that happened was when I used the
coupon, "Great Clips" put me on N2N's mailing list. I had been using
"Great Clips" for at least 3 years. I assume cashing the coupon
somehow enables "Great Clips" to sell/share my info with N2N (and who
knows who else).

The first time I went into the store, they asked for my name and
address "for the computer" and when I go in they ask for my phone
number. I never really objected before but now that I have made the
connection, I may not furnish any more stores with my personal
information. It really isn't personal, is it?


I go to Great Clips but have not made that connection with N2N or get
their mailings so I assume you got snagged by on-line N2N rather than
Great Clips.

So how would going online to N2N give them my personal information? I
am not saying it doesn't. I am asking.
BTW the flyer doesn't have my name, but it have my address and it only
started coming after I used the coupon.

I like Great Clips checking you in immediately by phone number rather
than sitting with a group of guys in the barber shop wondering who's
next. For us seniors, it's only $11 vs $15 for senior day at the barber
shop. I leave a better tip and have never had a bad hair cut there.

I like Great Clips too. That is why I have been going for so long.
