Is Great Clips right for you?

Great Clips salons are manager-run, which means you don't have to be at the salon every day. At the same time, salon ownership is not an absentee business. Our most successful franchisees often start out keeping their current jobs, and then transition to working as a full-time business owner as soon as possible.

If you are not currently working, it's important to have enough financial resources to support yourself and your family while you get your business up and running.

That's great! To succeed as a Great Clips franchisee, you need to be able to follow our system—an established process for launching new locations developed and tested over 35 years and across more than 4,400 salons.

If you're not comfortable with that, becoming a Great Clips salon owner may not be right for you.

Great! If you're ready to break free from the confines of the corporate world to run your own business, Great Clips can offer you a unique and rewarding opportunity to move from working for someone else to working for yourself.

Being a Great Clips franchisee is like being in business for yourself, but not by yourself. You're never truly alone in this venture because we offer you tremendous training and support to help you thrive as a member of the Great Clips community—but remember, this will be your business.

Terrific. Great Clips is truly a people management business. If you have managed teams and understand the challenges and rewards of recruiting, training and retaining staff, then Great Clips could be a great fit for you.

The Great Clips franchise opportunity is a manager-run business model. If you haven't managed people before, you'll want to decide early on if you are comfortable in a management position. We have franchisees in our system who didn't have prior management experience, such as teachers or stay-at-home parents. The vast majority of our franchisees, however, did have management experience from a previous career or business. You may want to consider partnering with someone who has management experience in their background.

Business experience is always a plus when considering a new business venture. As a Great Clips franchisee, you don't need to know about the haircare industry specifically—we'll teach you all about it!—but a business background is a definite advantage.

No worries! Most new Great Clips franchisees are first-time business owners. Our franchisee training and support will help you learn what you need to know to be successful.
