Great Clips Prices

Let’s face it – good grooming is a must in good times and bad! No wonder then that Great Clips salons are always popular among men, women and children who want to appear presentable no matter the occasion and the times. There’s also the fact that the Great Clips prices are so affordable that it’s easy enough to have your hair, conditioned and/or colored every month, if that’s up your alley.

History

Great Clips began as Super Clips, a salon opened on September 22, 1982 near the University of Minnesota campus. Nowadays, the chain consists of more than 4,100 salons across the United States and Canada while its corporate headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The chain has a franchise business model so many of its locations are owned and operated by franchisees. According to its corporate management, Great Clips continues to endure while other chains have experienced difficulties because of its combination of great service and affordable prices. Indeed, the salons’ general décor is neither sexy nor flashy but it’s something that families can relate to.

There are more than 30,000 stylists employed in the Great Clips system and its annual revenue reached $1.03 billion in 2013.

Traditional Range of Services

Great Clips salons are popular among all ages because of their wide range of basic services. Again, there’s nothing fancy or flashy in these services but for customers looking for quality services at affordable prices find Great Clips to be the best there is.

First, there are basic haircuts that every customer will find to their liking. The Great Clips stylists are well-trained in the art and science of the haircut, as well as updated on the trendy cuts across the world, especially in North America. Every haircut, of course, is customized according to the customer’s preferences.

There’s also a special category of haircuts for children and seniors. Both these cohorts have their particular preferences so it makes sense that they have a category of their own; the prices are different, too, but still within the affordable range.

Second, Great Clips salons offers shampoo and conditioning treatments for customers with hair that requires more extensive care. The stylists use safe, hypoallergenic and effective hair products, many of which come from reputable brands, to ensure the best results regardless of the hair color, type and texture. You can also ask for a customized treatment depending on your hair’s specific needs, such as a deep conditioning treatment for your dry, frizzy hair.

Third, the chain also offers perm treatments. Keep in mind that these are only suitable for certain hair types so the stylists may or may not accept your request for a perm. Your hair, for instance, may be too dry, damaged and fizzy so it isn’t strong enough to withstand the perm chemicals. You may be recommended for other treatments instead, such as a shampoo and conditioning treatment.

Fourth, Great Clips salons also offer trimming treatments for your hair, bangs and beard. These are usually more affordable than a full-on haircut due to the less work involved.

The bottom line: There’s something for everybody looking for quality basic hair care services at Great Clips!

Innovative Services

But don’t dismiss Great Salons to be your typical average salon left in the dust by its more upscale competitors offering posh services! The chain has implemented several innovations in the salon industry that has made and continues to make it a trendsetter.

Great Clips, for one thing, launched the industry’s first-ever real-time check-in app, the Online Check-In. With it, customers can check the wait times for their desired service and set an appointment by adding their names to the wait list. The app, in short, makes it easier and faster for the customers to fit in a salon appointment in their busy schedules.

Such a feature makes it even more appealing to customers to patronize Great Clips salons, too. You don’t have to enter the door of a Great Clips salon, ask for the availability of a stylist, and then be told to either wait for a few hours or come back on another day – it’s a waste of your time.

Great Clips also introduced Clip Notes in 2014 to improve the quality of its customer service. The app stores relevant information about customers’ preferences in haircuts, preferred salon, and frequency of visits, among others. The information can then be used to provide consistent service in every salon regardless of where a certain customer first availed of his or her first Great Clips treatment.

But if you like, you can also walk into a Great Clips salon (i.e., walk-in appointment sans a reservation) and be provided with great customer service. The Online Check-In app is recommended when you’re planning a salon visit during weekends when the salons are usually at their capacity.

With more than 4,100 salons, you will find a Great Clips salon near you and that adds to the convenience of getting great hair treatments at affordable prices.
