Great Clips is the largest US hair salon chain with about 4,500 walk-in haircut salons across all 50 states and Canada, owned by Great Clips Inc. (private, family-controlled), headquartered in Bloomington Minnesota (Minneapolis suburb), founded in 1982 in Minneapolis by Steve Lemmon and David Rubenzer, and operated through a heavily franchised model where virtually every salon is independently owned and operated by a franchisee.

The questions readers actually ask: what time does Great Clips open today, when does the salon close, are they open Saturday or Sunday, are they open on holidays, how the Online Check-In system works, and which services Great Clips offers (haircuts only, no color or perms).

Two Great Clips specific things worth knowing: most salons run 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM Saturday, and 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Sunday, and the chain is closed on all major federal holidays (Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day). Online Check-In via greatclips.com or the Great Clips app is the chain’s distinctive operational feature: customers add their name to the salon queue from home or work, watch their estimated wait time, and arrive at the salon a few minutes before their turn rather than waiting in-store; the program is one of the earliest examples of digital queue management in retail-services. Hair salon competitor Supercuts (owned by NASDAQ:RGS Regis Corporation) offers haircuts plus haircolor and chemical services that haircuts-only Great Clips does not provide.
