About Sport Clips

Sport Clips is a sports-themed men's and boys' hair care franchise with 1,800+ locations, founded in 1993 in Georgetown, Texas. Operating on a sports bar-meets-barbershop concept with TVs tuned to ESPN at every styling station, Sport Clips has dominated the men's haircut category.

Sport Clips' razor-focused positioning on men and boys creates a specialized experience that traditional salons can't replicate. The brand's Champion Haircut experience — hot steam towel, massaging shampoo, relaxing conditioning treatment — drives premium pricing and repeat visits.
