Great Clips --The Single Largest Hair Salon Brand in North America
There are more than 3,000 Great Clips' salons conveniently located in strip malls in over 130 markets throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Put the power of #1 to work for you
Great Clips is an ideal franchise opportunity for executives who seek a strong cash flow business with moderate-risk and steady growth, for a relatively low investment. Franchise owners who have operated for more than five years own 5-6 salons.
Manager-run salons allow you to keep your full-time job
One reason for our durability and success is that our franchise opportunity allows you to fulfill your dream of business ownership while maintaining your current occupation. We'll show you how, and our owners will tell you how it's changed their lives.
“Great Clips improves my ability to grow profitably. I also benefit from working with other franchisees and the hard working and knowledgeable Great Clips corporate employees. The biggest benefit is the culture of Great Clips. Their actions consistently show that they really do care about you.”
