Great Clips Franchise Model Overview

Great Clips salons offer value-priced haircuts with online check-in and no appointments, in strip-center retail spaces staffed by licensed stylists and a salon manager. Franchisees are not expected to cut hair; the owner's role is hiring, retention, and local marketing, and most operate several salons in a market. The brand's technology — online check-in and customer profiles — is a core part of the model. The system is entirely franchised and mature, so acquisitions of existing salons from retiring owners are common.

Ideal owner profile

Multi-unit or semi-absentee owner with strong salon managers

Comfortable with the stylist labor market as the main operating challenge
