Sport Clips

Sports-themed hair salon for men and boys
Clipping during a football game is a penalty. When you're Sport Clips, it's your business. The national hair-cutting franchise markets its "Guy-Wise" stylists and casual, male-oriented atmosphere to men and boys. The company has 625-plus stores in 36 states offering sports-themed decor, large screen TVs in the waiting area, and ESPN and other sports programming on TVs at each station. It is the official haircutter for several sports teams, including the San Antonio Spurs. Be sure to read Sport Clips: A Cut Above Other Franchises for a more in-depth look at this company.
Why This Company Makes Our AllStar List
Like other low-cost hair care franchises, Sport Clips has fared well in the recession. Sport Clips founder Gordon Logan established his business with franchising in mind, so it’s important for him to do all he can to help franchisees of the sports-themed chain succeed.

To attract new franchisees, Sport Clips lowered its requirement to accept single-store licenses. Also, the system has made a huge commitment to veterans both from the consumer and franchising points of view.

Sport Clips participates in both the SBA Franchise Registry and the IFA’s VetFran program. And the IFA recently named the system as a top seller to veterans.
