This blend of affordability and professionalism has made Great Clips a leader in the hair salon franchise market.

The Financial Side of Owning a Great Clips Franchise

Owning a Great Clips franchise comes with an investment. You'll need to consider the initial cost, which ranges from $178,400 to $400,000. This covers franchise fees, real estate costs, equipment, and initial supplies. You'll also pay ongoing fees, including a 6% royalty on sales and a 5% advertising royalty. But Great Clips provides comprehensive training and support to help you manage your salon and get the most out of your investment.
