Great Clips, Inc. was established in 1982 in Minneapolis. Today, Great Clips has over 4,400 salons throughout the United States and Canada, making it the world’s largest salon brand. Great Clips is 100 percent franchised, and salons are owned locally by nearly 700 franchisees across the U.S. and Canada. Great Clips franchisees employ more than 29,000 stylists. Great Clips franchised salons provide value-priced, high-quality haircare for men, women and children. Fighting cancer is a cause that is near and dear to Great Clips, which is why we created the Clips of Kindness program inspired by Vice Chair of the Board, Rhoda Olsen, and her battle with cancer. For people going through cancer treatment, the idea of hair loss can be daunting, unsettling, and even isolating. Many patients find it empowering to get a clipper cut, because it allows them to choose when and how they lose their hair. Anyone who is losing their hair due to cancer treatment is welcome to come to any Great Clips salon for a complimentary clipper cut. It’s our way of making this part of the treatment journey just a little bit easier.
