Fast-Growing Franchise Opportunity

The Sport Clips Mission & Purpose

While our numbers often reveal our success and achievement as a salon franchise opportunity, it’s not the whole story. What truly sets Sport Clips apart is our Team Culture. It’s not just corporate-speak, either—our culture directly influences our Executive Team in charge of nationwide systems, all the way to our Stylists who work directly with our customers. As a result of our company unity, all of our stores make customers feel welcome, and all of our Team Members know they are part of the same team.

What’s our goal? It’s found in our Mission Statement, which has remained unchanged since 1993:

“To create a championship haircut experience for men and boys in an exciting sports environment.”

The Heart of a Champion: Our Guiding Principles

Sport Clips demonstrates and promotes what we call the Heart of a Champion. These are simple principles shape how our Executive Leaders work with Team Leaders, how Team Leaders handle their Team, and how their Team Members interact with our Clients.

The Heart of a Champion consists of three principles, which form our values:

Do what’s right
Do your best
Treat others the way they want to be treated

Three Questions That Guide Our Interaction with Each Other

Can I trust you?
Are you committed to excellence?
Do you care about me?

We take the team mentality and culture seriously at Sport Clips. The sports theme of our stores isn’t just window-dressing—it’s a reminder to all Team Members of who we are and what we’re about. We work together to create success for each other. Here are some terms we use to promote that idea.
