The Nation's Leading Men's Hair Franchise Is on a Winning Streak that Won't Quit
Since 1993, Sport Clips has dominated the men’s hair segment - and in 2025, our brand is stronger than ever. With over 1,800 locations open or in development, Sport Clips has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs thrive in a recession-resistant business with the ability to make a real, lasting difference in people’s lives. As Sport Clips continues to lead the booming men’s hair category, we’re looking for passionate entrepreneurs who are ready to take control of their futures to join us as we continue to rapidly expand across the country.
One of the key advantages of franchising with Sport Clips is that you don’t have to leave your career – in fact, we encourage you keep your day job.
Our business model is unlike many other franchise concepts in that we encourage our Team Leaders to work on and not in the business. You will hire a store manager who will oversee the day-to-day operations of your store, manage your stylists, and deliver the Championship Haircut Experience your customers expect and deserve.
As an owner, your role will primarily be a supportive one. You will be responsible for creating a family-like culture that empowers your team to do exceptional work. By developing an incredible team, you will be able to focus on growing your business, implementing marketing strategies, and taking care of the administrative duties on the back end. As a rule, we expect our Team Leaders to spend around 10-15 hours per week on their stores – that’s it.
The simplicity of our business model allows our Team Leaders to scale up to multi-unit ownership quickly.
The Pros in Men's Hair
The Sport Clips system serves over 600,000 clients a week for a reason - we deliver an unbeatable experience that’s unique in the men’s hair category. Clients come to us when they want to feel and look like an MVP, and our most loyal clients return to us every three or four weeks. In fact, some of our Team Leaders started out as clients, and they made the decision to invest in us because Sport Clips consistently delivers and is the dominant brand in men’s hair.
