Great Clips, Inc., headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, is one of the nation’s largest franchisors in the $40 billion-a-year haircare industry. Established in 1982, Great Clips perfected a system for delivering competitively priced high quality cuts and perms to men, women, and children. The company began franchising in 1983, and today, over 1,300 Great Clips salons operate in 70 markets across the U.S. and Canada.

Primarily located in strip centers, Great Clips salons are open evenings and weekends and require no appointments. Each location features a nautical-motif environment designed to afford customer comfort and privacy, and is served by professional stylists who receive advanced training at each of its 52 training centers throughout the system.

No prior experience in the haircare industry is required of franchisees, nor must they abandon their current careers. While management and personnel development skills are essential, the day-to-day operation of salons is handled by certified managers.
