Description

Great Clips is one of North America's leading haircare salon brands, offering affordable, no-appointment-needed haircuts for men, women, and children. With a strong emphasis on convenience and consistent customer experience, Great Clips operates in high-traffic strip malls and retail centers. Canadian franchisees benefit from a proven business model, a recognizable brand, and strong support infrastructure, making it an excellent opportunity in the personal care and beauty industry.


Background

Established in 1982 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Great Clips has expanded into one of the world’s largest salon brands with over 4,400 locations across North America, including a growing footprint in Canada. Great Clips began its Canadian expansion in the early 2000s and has steadily grown due to the simplicity of operations, strong franchisee support, and customer loyalty. The brand focuses on providing efficient, affordable, and high-quality haircuts with a tech-enabled customer experience including online check-ins and mobile apps.

Great Clips provides extensive training and support for its Canadian franchisees. This includes:

  • Ongoing Field Support with experienced franchise business consultants.

  • Technology Tools including POS systems, customer management tools, and mobile app integration.
