CONTACT US TODAYWhat Are the Minimum Requirements to Open a Sport Clips Store? To ensure you are able to obtain the necessary financing you will need to move forward, we require you have a minimum of $200,000 liquid assets (cash and marketable securities) and $400,000 net worth. This requirement may be higher if construction costs are higher than normal in certain areas, or if a candidate wants to sign up for more than three licenses. What's the initial Investment? Your initial cost will be $69,500 Canadian Dollars, which covers your franchise fees for your first three stores. Should you purchase more than three licenses, each additional license will be $12,500 Canadian Dollars. Can I buy just one store? Except under certain circumstances, investors are required to purchase a minimum of three licenses. Qualifying circumstances might include a desire to develop in a market where there is not sufficient opportunity to develop three stores within a reasonable area or for veterans who can verify an honorable discharge. We also have opportunities for Store Managers to become Team Leaders (TLs) of a single store. What is a multi-unit franchise? Multi-unit franchising is a franchise model where the typical Team Leader owns more than one location. In our case, we require candidates purchase a minimum of three locations, at a cost of $69,500 Canadian Dollars for all three licenses. Do you offer incentives for veterans? Yes, qualified veterans are eligible for a 10% discount off franchise licensing fees. What Does the Manager Model Mean? This means you will hire a store Manager who will manage the stores for you.

While hats are perfect for keeping warm, they can leave your hair looking flat, messy, or completely out of place. The good news is that with the right haircut, you can stay stylish even after removing your winter headgear. At Sport Clips, we’ve seen countless clients who want to maintain their look through all the cold-weather fashion. Here are five haircuts that stand up to the toque test. The Classic Crew Cut The crew cut is short, clean, and low-maintenance. Its tapered sides and slightly longer top keep it looking sharp even after a day of wearing a toque. This cut works for most hair types and requires minimal styling, making it a favourite for busy Canadians who want a polished look without the fuss. Textured Crop If you prefer a bit of texture and movement, the textured crop is ideal. The layers on top give your hair volume and flexibility, so it bounces back even after being flattened by a hat. A lightweight styling product helps maintain the shape and enhances the natural texture for an effortlessly tousled look. Taper Fade The taper fade is a versatile haircut that blends short sides with a longer top. Its clean edges and fade help reduce the appearance of hat hair while keeping the style structured. The fade can be adjusted to suit any personal preference, whether subtle or more dramatic, and it pairs well with various styling products to keep your look intact. Side Part The side part is a timeless choice that remains stylish in all seasons. With a defined part and carefully trimmed sides, your hair recovers easily after removing a toque. This haircut is perfect for those who want a professional, clean-cut look that does not require constant touch-ups. Medium-Length Layers For those who like a bit more length, medium layers provide volume and shape that are not easily crushed by a winter hat. The layers allow hair to fall naturally and maintain movement, making it easier to reshape after wearing a toque. Regular trims ensure... --- - Published: 2025-11-10 - Modified: 2025-11-10 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/how-to-take-care-of-your-beard-this-winter/ Winter is the perfect time to grow out your beard. The cold weather gives your skin a break from daily shaving, and a well-kept beard can help protect your face from harsh winds and chilly temperatures. But as the temperature drops, your beard needs a little extra attention. Dry indoor heat and freezing outdoor air can leave your facial hair feeling coarse, brittle and itchy. If you are planning to grow your beard or keep it full this winter, here are a few easy ways to maintain a healthy, soft and stylish beard all season long. 1. Keep Your Beard Clean but Don’t Overwash It Cold weather already strips moisture from your skin and hair. Overwashing your beard with regular shampoo can make it even drier. Instead, use a mild beard wash two to three times a week. This helps remove dirt and buildup without removing the natural oils that keep your beard soft and hydrated. After washing, gently pat your beard dry with a towel instead of rubbing it. 2. Moisturize with Beard Oil Beard oil is your best friend in winter. It helps prevent dryness and flaking while keeping your beard looking smooth and healthy. Apply a few drops of beard oil after a shower when your skin and beard are still slightly damp. This locks in moisture and helps distribute the oil evenly. A good quality beard oil also gives your beard a natural shine and keeps it smelling great. 3. Use Beard Balm for Extra Protection If you spend time outdoors in the cold, beard balm provides an extra layer of protection. It works like a conditioner and a light styling product at the same time. The natural butters and waxes in the balm help seal in moisture and protect your beard from the wind. It also keeps stray hairs in place so your beard looks neat all day. 4. Don’t Skip the Trims Even if you’re growing your beard longer this season, regular trims are important. They help prevent split ends and keep your beard shape balanced. A quick visit to your nearest Sport Clips... --- - Published: 2025-09-23 - Modified: 2025-09-23 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/the-benefits-of-regular-haircuts-for-mens-confidence-and-style/ In today’s fast-paced world, first impressions matter more than ever. Whether it’s at work, on a date, or even a casual weekend outing, the way you look plays a big role in how you feel and how others see you. One of the simplest yet most powerful ways men can maintain a sharp, confident appearance is by keeping up with regular haircuts. At Sport Clips Canada, we specialize in men’s grooming, and we’ve seen firsthand how a consistent haircut routine can boost both confidence and style. 1. Look Sharp, Feel Confident A fresh haircut instantly improves your appearance. Clean edges, a neat neckline, and well-maintained hair make you look polished and professional. That extra confidence translates into how you carry yourself, whether you’re giving a presentation, interviewing for a job, or heading out with friends. 2. Maintain a Consistent Style Hair grows faster than you think. On average, about half an inch per month. Without regular trims, your hairstyle can quickly lose its shape. Scheduling regular haircuts at Sport Clips ensures your look stays consistent, whether you prefer a classic crew cut, a trendy fade, or something more laid back. 3. Keep Hair Healthier Split ends and uneven growth aren’t just a problem for women’s hair - men deal with them too. Regular trims help prevent damage, keeping your hair healthier and easier to style. Plus, our Sport Clips stylists are trained in men’s hair and can recommend the right products to keep your look fresh between visits. 4. Stay Ahead of the Trends Men’s hairstyles are always evolving. By visiting Sport Clips Canada regularly, you can take advantage of our stylists’ knowledge of the latest haircut trends—from modern fades and textured looks to timeless professional cuts. 5. More Than Just a Haircut – The MVP Experience At Sport Clips, it’s not only about looking good but also about feeling good. Our MVP Haircut Experience includes: Precision haircut Massaging shampoo Hot steamed towel Neck and shoulder treatment It’s a refreshing reset that keeps you relaxed while ensuring your style is on point. 6. Convenience with Online Check-In We know life... --- - Published: 2025-09-09 - Modified: 2025-10-14 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/the-top-5-mens-hairstyle-trends-for-fall-2025/ Fall is here, and that means it's time for a fresh look that matches the season’s cozy vibes and crisp air. Whether you’re browsing for something edgy, relaxed, or classic, here are the five standout men's hairstyle trends for Fall 2025 that are turning heads and how our Sport Clips Pros are ready to deliver them: Trend 1 – Textured Crop with a Fall Twist Fall’s daily demands favor styles that blend effortless cool with low upkeep. The textured crop with choppy, lived-in top layers paired with low or mid fades checks all those boxes. It strikes the balance between polished and easygoing, giving you a look that’s sharp but chill. Trend 2 – Cultivated Crop (Modern Shag Revival) Shag and layered hairstyles are making a comeback, offering volume and personality. Fall 2025 is all about modern variations like the “cultivated bob” but for men, think structured shaggy textures that mimic that soft, timeless silhouette with a refined edge. Trend 3 – Refined Side Sweep & Mid-Length Flow Subtle transitions are in styles that flow with movement and sit comfortably between classic and modern. Mid-length flows and swept-over styles work best with natural texture and gentle hold products. The results are endlessly versatile office-ready one day, date-night smooth the next. Trend 4 – Natural Fade with Beard Pairings The clean fade isn't going anywhere but this season, it's paired with bold, natural beard looks. Whether you're rocking a trim or a full-grown beard, a skin or low taper fade paired with a grown-out beard makes a sharp, on-trend statement. Trend 5 – Low-Maintenance Pixie or 'Cultivated Bob' for Men Minimalist isn't just for black turtlenecks men are embracing shorter, sleek styles too. The pixie-inspired crop (contoured, clean, bold) and the tailored "cultivated bob" aren’t just for women bold, clean lines speak volumes in fall lighting. Tips: Texture is everything: Ask for point-cutting or slight razoring to enhance movement. Product matters: Matte paste, light pomade, or salt spray can work wonders depending on texture. Consult your Pro: Your Sport Clips stylist can personalize the fall trend that best fits your hair... --- - Published: 2025-08-21 - Modified: 2025-08-21 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/more-than-a-haircut-inside-the-sport-clips-mvp-experience/ When you hear the word haircut, you might think of a quick trim that gets the job done and little else. At Sport Clips Canada, we believe grooming should feel like more than a chore. That is why we designed the MVP Haircut Experience. It blends expert styling with relaxation so every client walks out looking sharp and feeling renewed. Precision Haircuts from the Pros The MVP always begins with a professional haircut tailored to your needs. Our stylists stay up to date on the latest men’s haircut trends while also perfecting the classics. Whether you want a clean, timeless style or something modern and bold, your cut will be customized to fit you. The goal is simple - a haircut that builds confidence the moment you leave the chair. The Signature Hot Towel Nothing defines the MVP quite like the famous hot steamed towel. This step does more than create comfort. The heat softens skin, opens pores, and provides an instant sense of calm. It is a small touch that turns a routine haircut into a refreshing experience, helping you leave stress behind. Scalp Massage with Tea Tree Shampoo After the cut, you will enjoy an invigorating scalp massage paired with tea tree shampoo. The cooling sensation of the shampoo combined with the massage improves circulation and eases tension. Many clients call this the highlight of their visit because it provides both a deep cleanse and a moment of relaxation. Relaxing Neck and Shoulder Treatment To finish, our stylists deliver a gentle neck and shoulder treatment. This step helps release tightness and completes the sense of renewal. It is the detail that elevates the MVP from a haircut into a full grooming ritual designed to recharge body and mind. Why Choose the MVP Experience The Sport Clips MVP is more than just a premium haircut. It is a chance to pause in your day, enjoy a little self-care, and walk out ready to take on whatever comes next. From the expert haircut to the hot towel, scalp massage, and shoulder treatment, every element is designed to give you the... --- - Published: 2025-07-31 - Modified: 2025-07-31 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/how-to-talk-to-your-stylist-to-get-the-perfect-haircut/ Let’s be honest, walking out of the barbershop with a haircut that’s just “okay” is frustrating. Whether it's not short enough, the fade feels off, or the style doesn’t suit your vibe, the problem often comes down to one thing: communication. At Sport Clips Canada, we understand that not every guy knows the exact words to describe the haircut they want. That’s why our Sport Clips Pros are trained not only in cutting hair, but in listening, clarifying, and delivering results that make you feel like your best self. Here’s your easy guide on how to talk to your stylist so you get the perfect haircut every single time. Before You Arrive: A Little Research Goes a Long Way Before your next visit, spend five minutes figuring out what you want. Ask yourself: Do I want to keep the same style, or try something new? What bothers me about my current haircut? How do I normally style my hair – blow dry, comb over, messy look? You don’t need to have the lingo down; just having a general direction helps your stylist give tailored suggestions during your hair consultation. A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: Why You Should Bring Photos Can’t describe it? Show it. Bringing 1 - 2 pictures of haircuts you like is a game changer. It bridges the gap between what you think a “low fade” looks like versus what your stylist understands it to be. Just remember, your hair type and face shape may mean a cut will be inspired by the photo, not identical. That’s where your stylist’s professional input comes in. Learn the Lingo: Key Haircut Terms That Help Your Stylist Not sure what to say? Here are a few haircut terms that can make a big difference: Fade: A gradual blend from short to longer hair. Can be low, mid, or high. Taper: A subtler version of a fade, usually at the neckline and sideburns. Clipper guard numbers: The size of the guard determines how short the hair will be. For example, #1 = 1/8”, #3 = 3/8”, etc. Texturizing: A cutting... --- - Published: 2025-07-16 - Modified: 2025-08-08 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/the-taper-fade-explained-a-guide-to-2025s-sharpest-haircut/ In 2025, men's hairstyles are all about precision, style, and versatility and no cut represents that better than the taper fade. Whether you're upgrading your usual look or planning your next haircut, the taper fade is one of the most searched and requested styles at Sport Clips Canada and for good reason. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about the taper fade, so you can show up to your next haircut ready and confident. First, What’s a Taper? Understanding the Classic Technique A taper refers to a gradual shortening of the hair from the top of the head down to the neckline and around the ears. Unlike a full fade, a taper focuses just on the edges, keeping the look clean and sharp without going ultra short. It’s a timeless cut that works in both casual and professional settings, and it gives you a natural finish that grows out neatly. The taper has long been a favorite for men who want low-maintenance polish without sacrificing style. Then, What’s a Fade? From Low Fades to Skin Fades A fade is a more aggressive transition from longer to shorter hair, often blending into the skin. You’ve probably heard terms like: Low fade – starts just above the ears Mid fade – begins around the temple High fade – cuts in higher on the head for a bold look Skin fade – tapers all the way down to bare skin Fades are more dramatic than tapers, giving a crisp, clean edge that instantly sharpens any style from crew cuts to undercuts. Low Fade: (starts just above ears) High Fade: (cuts in higher on the head for a bold look) Skin Fade: (tapers all the way down to bare skin) The Best of Both: How a Taper Fade Combines Precision and Blend A taper fade is the ultimate hybrid haircut. It blends the subtlety of a taper with the definition of a fade, resulting in a look that’s modern, clean, and adaptable to any face shape or hair type. Think of it as the best of both worlds: You... --- - Published: 2025-06-24 - Modified: 2025-11-13 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/barber-vs-hair-stylist-which-is-right-for-your-next-mens-haircut/ When it comes to men’s grooming, choosing the right professional for your next haircut can make all the difference. Whether you’re looking for a sharp fade, a classic taper, or the latest modern hairstyle, understanding the differences between a barber and a hair stylist will help you get the best haircut experience possible. At Sport Clips, our Pros are trained to deliver precision and style, ensuring every cut suits your unique look. What’s the Difference Between a Barber and a Hair Stylist? Barbers specialize in men’s haircuts and grooming services, including beard trims and shaves. Traditionally, barbers work in a barbershop environment that focuses on classic cuts like fades, tapers, and precise line-ups. Barbers are trained to handle clipper work and scissor techniques that cater specifically to men’s hair textures and styles. Hair Stylists usually work in hair salons and offer a broader range of services for all genders, including coloring, treatments, and styling. While many hair stylists are skilled in men’s haircuts, their focus may be more on fashion-forward and contemporary styles rather than traditional barbering techniques. Why Choose a Barber for Your Men's Haircut? Expertise in Men’s Grooming: Barbers understand the nuances of men’s hair and provide cuts tailored to enhance your face shape and personal style. Classic and Modern Styles: From a clean fade to a timeless taper, barbers excel at delivering sharp, precise cuts. Additional Services: Many barbers offer beard trims, straight razor shaves, and scalp treatments as part of the grooming experience. Barbershop Experience: The atmosphere in a barbershop often feels more personalized and geared toward men’s grooming needs. When to Consider a Hair Stylist If you’re interested in hair coloring or treatments alongside your haircut. When you want to explore trendy, fashion-forward hairstyles. If you prefer a full-service hair salon environment that caters to various hair types and styles. Why Sport Clips Is the Best of Both Worlds At Sport Clips, we combine the best elements of the barbershop and hair salon. Our Sport Clips Pros are trained in both barbering and styling techniques, giving you the precision of a barber and the creativity... --- - Published: 2025-06-03 - Modified: 2025-06-03 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/beat-the-heat-summer-hair-care-tips-for-men-women-kids/ Summer in Canada is the perfect time for outdoor adventures, beach days, and backyard barbecues—but it can also be tough on your hair. Between sun exposure, chlorine, sweat, and humidity, your hair needs a little extra attention to stay healthy and looking sharp. At Sport Clips Canada, we’ve got your back (and your head) with expert tips to keep men’s, women’s, and kids’ hair fresh, protected, and manageable all season long. Whether you're searching for “summer haircuts near me” or just want a few haircare tips for hot weather, this guide is for you. Summer Hair Care Tips for Men Go Shorter for the Season A shorter men’s haircut is easier to maintain and helps you stay cooler. Ask your Sport Clips stylist about a style that complements your face shape while keeping you fresh. Use a Lightweight Styling Product Swap heavy pomades or waxes for lightweight gels or mousses that won’t clog pores or trap heat. Products with UV protection are a bonus! Wash Smart Sweat and sunscreen build up fast—opt for a deep-cleansing shampoo like the Tea Tree Special Shampoo available at Sport Clips to avoid scalp irritation and keep your hair clean. Summer Hair Tips for Women Shield from Sun & Heat The sun’s UV rays can damage hair just like skin. If you’re spending a lot of time outdoors, use a leave-in conditioner with UV protection, or wear a hat to protect your locks. Tame the Frizz Humidity can cause chaos. Use a sulfate-free, anti-frizz serum or cream to keep flyaways in check. Your Sport Clips stylist can recommend products suited to your hair type. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate Sun, chlorine, and saltwater can strip your hair of moisture. Use a hydrating mask weekly to restore softness and shine. Summer Haircare for Kids Keep It Simple For kids' summer haircuts, low-maintenance styles are best. Shorter cuts for boys and manageable lengths for girls make it easier to play without fuss. Post-Swim Rinse Chlorine and saltwater can damage young hair. Always rinse kids’ hair with clean water after swimming and use a gentle clarifying shampoo a few times... --- - Published: 2025-05-12 - Modified: 2025-05-12 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/how-often-should-men-get-a-haircut-a-guide-to-staying-sharp-year-round/ A great haircut doesn’t just improve how you look, it boosts your confidence and keeps your style in check. But how often should men actually get their haircut? At Sport Clips, it’s a question we hear every day. And the answer depends on a few factors: your hair type, your hairstyle, and how polished you want to look. General Rule: Every 3 to 5 Weeks For most men, scheduling a haircut every 3 to 5 weeks keeps your hair looking neat without losing shape. This timing helps maintain clean edges, manage growth, and avoid looking unkempt between cuts. Hair Length Matters Short Styles (fades, crew cuts, buzz cuts): Every 2–3 weeks These cuts grow out quickly, and regular trims help maintain their sharp appearance. Medium Styles (side parts, textured crops): Every 3–4 weeks These styles allow a bit more length, but still need shape maintenance. Long Hair: Every 6–8 weeks Even longer styles need regular care to avoid split ends and keep layers defined. Beard and Neck Maintenance Even if you're not due for a full haircut, stopping in for a neck trim or beard cleanup every couple of weeks helps you stay polished between visits. At Sport Clips, neck trims are complimentary between MVP haircuts—just another reason to drop by! Lifestyle Plays a Role Do you work in a professional setting? Attend frequent meetings? Or maybe you're just big on personal grooming? If so, staying on a tighter haircut schedule will help maintain that crisp, clean-cut appearance that makes a great impression. Pro Tip: Use Online Check-In Sticking to a regular haircut schedule is easier when it's convenient. That’s why Sport Clips offers Online Check-In, so you can skip the wait and plan your visit efficiently. --- - Published: 2025-04-08 - Modified: 2025-04-08 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/best-company-for-women-sports-clips-haircuts/ Sport Clips Haircuts, the nation's leading hair care provider for men and boys, ranked 27 out of 100 as a “Best Company for Women”.

And what better way to do that than by giving your hair some much-needed attention? At Sport Clips, we're here to help you step into the new season with confidence and style. Whether you're rocking a shorter cut or letting your locks flow, these spring hair care tips for men will ensure you're looking and feeling your best all season long. Trim and Tidy Up: Start the season off right with a fresh haircut. Say goodbye to any winter growth and opt for a style that suits the warmer weather. A shorter cut can help you stay cool and comfortable as temperatures rise, while regular trims will keep your hair looking neat and well-maintained. Protect Against the Elements: With spring comes increased exposure to the sun, wind, and humidity – all of which can take a toll on your hair. Invest in quality hair care products that offer protection from UV rays and environmental damage. Look for lightweight styling products like leave-in conditioners or hair serums to keep your locks nourished and shielded from the elements. Hydrate and Moisturize: Just like your skin, your hair can also become dry and brittle during the spring months. Combat this by incorporating hydrating products into your hair care routine. Opt for moisturizing shampoos and conditioners that replenish lost moisture and leave your hair feeling soft and manageable. And don't forget to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated from the inside out! Embrace Texture and Volume: Spring is the perfect time to experiment with different hair textures and styles. Embrace your natural texture or add some volume and movement to your hair with the help of styling products like texturizing sprays or volumizing mousses. Play around with different looks until you find the one that best complements your personal style. Maintain a Healthy Scalp: A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair. Incorporate scalp care into your routine by gently exfoliating and cleansing your scalp to remove buildup and promote circulation.... --- - Published: 2024-03-25 - Modified: 2025-01-21 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/essential-grooming-kit-must-carry-items-for-men-while-traveling/ Traveling is an exciting adventure, but it can also disrupt your grooming routine. Whether you're jet-setting for business or leisure, it's essential to maintain your personal care regimen on the go. At Sport Clips, we understand the importance of looking and feeling your best, even when you're away from home. In this blog, we'll highlight the must-carry grooming items every man should pack for a smooth and stylish travel experience. Compact Travel Toiletry Bag: Invest in a compact toiletry bag with multiple compartments to keep your grooming essentials organized and easily accessible. Look for a durable and water-resistant bag that can withstand the rigors of travel. Travel-Sized Shampoo and Conditioner: Opt for travel-sized bottles of your favorite shampoo and conditioner to save space in your luggage. Choose products that address your specific hair concerns, whether it's dryness, dandruff, or volume. Portable Hair Styling Products: Bring travel-sized containers of your go-to hair styling products, such as pomade, wax, or gel. Consider investing in solid or clay-based products that are less likely to leak or spill during travel. Compact Hairbrush or Comb: Don't forget to pack a compact hairbrush or comb to keep your locks looking neat and tidy. Choose a travel-friendly design that folds or detaches for easy storage in your toiletry bag. Disposable Razors or Electric Shaver: Ensure a clean and smooth shave on the road by packing disposable razors or an electric shaver. Look for compact and lightweight options that are TSA-friendly for hassle-free security checks. Moisturizer with SPF: Protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays by packing a moisturizer with SPF. Choose a lightweight and non-greasy formula that provides hydration and sun protection in one. With the right grooming essentials packed in your travel bag, you can maintain your personal care routine no matter where your adventures take you. Don't let travel disrupt your grooming game – pack these must-carry items for a smooth and successful journey.

However, at Sport Clips, we believe in the power of regular trims and why they should be an essential part of every man's grooming routine. Here's why: 1. Maintaining Style and Shape A haircut might look perfect on the day you get it done, but as your hair grows, it loses its shape and style. Regular trims help maintain that fresh-from-the-barber look by keeping your hair neatly trimmed and in shape. Whether it's a classic crew cut or a stylish fade, our expert stylists at Sport Clips know how to keep your hair looking sharp and on-point. 2. Healthy Hair Growth Regular trims aren't just about aesthetics; they're also crucial for the health of your hair. Trimming off split ends prevents them from traveling up the hair shaft and causing further damage. By getting rid of damaged ends, your hair can continue to grow stronger and healthier, giving you that luscious, full-bodied look you desire. 3. Preventing Hair Damage Everyday wear and tear, along with exposure to the elements, can take a toll on your hair. Regular trims help remove any dry, brittle ends that are prone to breakage, preventing further damage and keeping your hair looking vibrant and youthful. At Sport Clips, we use the latest techniques and products to ensure your hair stays healthy and damage-free. 4. Boosting Confidence There's nothing quite like the feeling of stepping out of the barber's chair with a fresh haircut. Regular trims not only keep your hair looking great but also boost your confidence. When you look good, you feel good, and that confidence radiates in everything you do. Whether it's acing that job interview or impressing on a first date, a well-maintained haircut from Sport Clips can make all the difference. 5. Personalized Service At Sport Clips, we understand that every client is unique, which is why we offer personalized service tailored to your specific needs and preferences.

While the allure of longer strands is undeniable, it's essential to recognize the importance of regular trims, even if the ultimate goal is to let those tresses flow freely. Sport Clips Haircuts understands this delicate balance, catering to both hair growth enthusiasts and those seeking a well-maintained style. Let's delve into the reasons why regular trims are a vital component of any hair growth regimen. 1. Healthy Hair Foundations: Regular trims serve as the cornerstone for maintaining healthy hair. Over time, split ends and damaged strands can compromise the overall health of your hair, hindering its growth potential. Sport Clips Haircuts' expert stylists specialize in precision cuts, ensuring that each trim promotes healthy follicles and a resilient foundation for your locks to flourish. 2. Preventing Breakage and Damage: Long hair is more susceptible to breakage, especially at the ends. Friction from clothing, environmental factors, and daily styling can lead to split ends and breakage. By scheduling regular trims at Sport Clips, you're taking proactive measures to eliminate damaged portions, reducing the risk of breakage and allowing your hair to grow stronger and more robust. 3. Maintaining Shape and Style: Growing your hair doesn't mean neglecting its style. Sport Clips understands the importance of maintaining a well-defined shape, even during the growth process. Regular trims help manage the overall shape of your hair, ensuring it grows out evenly and retains a polished appearance. Whether you're aiming for a sleek and straight look or embracing natural curls, Sport Clips stylists can tailor trims to suit your evolving style. 4. Preventing Hair Knots and Tangles: Long hair is prone to tangling and forming knots, especially if left unattended for an extended period.

Your hair also requires some special attention during the fall season. The changing weather conditions, coupled with lower humidity, can affect the health and appearance of your locks. Don't worry, though – with a few simple hair care tips, you can ensure your mane remains healthy, stylish, and ready to take on the fall season with confidence. Hydration is Key: Fall often brings drier air, both indoors and outdoors, which can lead to dry and brittle hair. To combat this, make sure you stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Additionally, consider using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair hydrated from the outside. Adjust Your Shampoo Routine: As the weather changes, your scalp's needs may change as well. If you're experiencing drier or itchier scalp during the fall, switch to a moisturizing shampoo. On the other hand, if you're prone to oily hair, stick with a gentle, clarifying shampoo to remove excess oil and product buildup. Avoid Hot Showers: While a hot shower might be tempting on a chilly fall morning, hot water can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and dull. Opt for lukewarm water when washing your hair to maintain its moisture balance. Use a Quality Hair Oil: Hair oils can be your best friend during the fall season. Apply a few drops of natural hair oil, such as argan oil or coconut oil, to your hair and scalp. This will help lock in moisture, reduce frizz, and give your hair a healthy shine. Don't Skip Conditioner: Conditioning is non-negotiable, no matter the season. In the fall, consider using a deep conditioner or hair mask once a week to restore moisture and maintain your hair's softness and shine. Protect Against the Elements: Cool, windy weather can cause damage to your hair, making it prone to breakage. Consider wearing a hat or a cap to protect your hair when you're outdoors. Additionally, use hair products with UV protection if you... --- - Published: 2023-08-25 - Modified: 2025-01-21 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/professional-tips-for-diy-grooming-keeping-your-hair-and-beard-in-shape-while-on-vacation/ Vacation season is upon us, and while you're taking a break from your regular routine, your grooming doesn't have to suffer! Whether you're lounging on a tropical beach or exploring new destinations, maintaining your hair and beard can be both practical and stylish. In this blog, we'll share expert tips from Sport Clips Stylists, the Pros in Men’s haircuts, to help you keep your hair and beard looking sharp while enjoying your well-deserved getaway. Pack the Essentials: Before you head out, make sure to pack your grooming essentials. Include a travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, and styling products to ensure you have everything you need to keep your hair looking its best. Choose Low-Maintenance Styles: Opt for a hairstyle that's easy to maintain while on vacation. Consider a shorter length or a style that doesn't require frequent styling. This way, you can spend more time enjoying your vacation and less time fussing over your hair. Trim Before You Go: Give your hair and beard a fresh trim before leaving for your vacation. This will help your hair look well-groomed even as it grows out during your trip. Invest in a Travel Razor: A compact travel razor is a must-have for maintaining your beard on the go. Keep your beard neat by touching up any unruly hairs. Sun Protection for Your Hair: Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from the sun's rays. Consider wearing a hat or using a leave-in conditioner with UV protection to prevent sun damage. Keep It Hydrated: Traveling, exposure to different climates, and saltwater can dry out your hair and beard. Pack a hydrating hair mask or oil to keep your hair moisturized and looking healthy. Quick Styling with Texture: Embrace your hair's natural texture while on vacation. Use a texture spray or cream to enhance your hair's natural waves or curls for effortless styling. Beard Care On the Go: If you have a beard, make sure to pack a beard comb and beard oil. Regularly combing and applying beard oil will help keep your beard soft, tamed, and looking well-maintained.

The hot weather, increased perspiration, and potential for dryness require special attention to keep your beard looking and feeling its best. At Sport Clips Haircuts, we understand the importance of a well-groomed beard, regardless of the season. In this blog, we'll share some valuable tips to help you maintain a healthy and stylish beard throughout the summer months. Keep It Clean: Regularly washing your beard is crucial during summer. Sweat, dirt, and excess oil can accumulate, leading to itchiness and discomfort. Use a mild beard shampoo or cleanser to remove impurities while preserving your beard's natural oils. Sport Clips offers a range of high-quality beard care products to help you maintain a clean and fresh beard. Hydrate and Moisturize: Summer heat can dehydrate your skin and beard, leading to dryness and brittle hair. Keep your beard moisturized by using a beard oil or balm that contains natural ingredients such as argan oil or jojoba oil. These products nourish the hair follicles, moisturize the skin beneath, and promote healthy beard growth. Trim and Shape: Maintaining a well-groomed beard shape is essential, especially in the summer. Regularly trim your beard to prevent unruly growth and maintain a neat appearance. Consider visiting your nearest Sport Clips Haircuts salon, where our skilled stylists can provide expert trimming and shaping services tailored to your desired style. Sun Protection: Just like your skin, your beard is also susceptible to the harmful effects of UV rays. Prolonged sun exposure can lead to dryness, discoloration, and brittle hair. Protect your beard by applying a beard sunscreen or using a beard product with SPF properties. These products not only shield your beard from sun damage but also provide essential nourishment. Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration is vital for maintaining a healthy beard. Drinking an adequate amount of water helps to keep your hair follicles and skin hydrated from within, resulting in a softer, more manageable beard. Stay hydrated throughout the day, especially during outdoor activities or exposure to the sun.

However, keeping your scalp healthy is just as important for maintaining a great hairstyle and overall confidence. Here are some top tips for scalp care that every man should know: Keep it Clean: Regularly washing your hair and scalp can help remove dirt, excess oil, and other impurities that can clog your pores and lead to dandruff or other scalp issues. Choose a shampoo that suits your hair type and scalp condition, and massage it gently into your scalp to ensure a thorough cleanse. Exfoliate: Just like the skin on your face or body, your scalp can benefit from gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and promote healthy blood flow. You can use a specialized scalp scrub or brush to gently massage your scalp in circular motions before shampooing. Moisturize: Dryness can cause itching, flaking, and irritation on your scalp. To keep your scalp hydrated, try using a conditioner or scalp oil that contains natural ingredients such as tea tree oil, jojoba oil, or aloe vera. These can soothe and moisturize your scalp without weighing down your hair. Protect from Sun Damage: If you spend a lot of time outdoors, be sure to protect your scalp from harmful UV rays. You can wear a hat, apply sunscreen to your scalp, or use a hair product that contains SPF. Avoid Overstyling: Using too much hair gel, wax, or other styling products can clog your pores and cause buildup on your scalp. Try to limit the amount of product you use, and choose products that are water-based and easy to wash out. By following these simple tips, you can keep your scalp healthy and happy, and ensure that your hair looks its best.

Make sure you start this new decade with a fresh start with a healthy-looking scalp and hairdo. The previous decade may have given you some bad hair days and bad habits formed but this is the opportunity to start over anew. Let’s discuss some scientifically confirmed tactics for caring for uncooperative hair issues. You may be shocked by the effects of practicing a new routine. Health & Nutrition – This is the foundation of everything that follows. A healthy diet plays a vital role in getting a healthy scalp and hair, as well. Focusing on iron-rich meals like leafy greens, fish, pumpkin seeds and beans. You’ll be able to even have chickpeas, soybeans and cereals. Don’t forget about proteins such as eggs, fish, and chicken. You should always try to take into high Antioxidants containing food, which prevents the oxidation and subsequent deterioration of the substance. So, it will help in systemic circulation, which is very necessary for your hair's health. Avoid Excessive Heat – As we all know, heat strips the moisture content from your hair and turns it dry & dizzy. Overuse can lead to burned hair & infections on your scalp. If required, then you can use an iron straightened to dry or straighten your hair. Try to air dry your hair as often as possible if you can avoid the dryer altogether. Reinvigorate with Oil – The proper amount of oil on hair & scalp with the proper frequency can make a real difference in hair health & shine. Using the proper amount of oil on your scalp can reduce dryness & scalp irritation. Aim to use after using shampoo to re-hydrate the scalp and hair. Drink a LOT of Water – Hair is 25% water & skin is 65% water approximately. So it goes without saying maintaining proper levels of hydration is absolutely critical to hair & skin health. Just like the doctor ordered, aim for 8 glasses of water a day to maintain that healthy, happy style.

This is a time when our hair needs to look its very best, despite the cold weather outside. As the mercury dips, it’s not only your extremities that suffer – your hair takes a battering too. While you may not be able to control the temperature outside let’s discuss a few important tips that you can control. This way, your hair will have the right tools and preparation to deal with the harsh, dry winter weather. A Good Offense is the Best Defense – Goes without saying a hat or scarf is a must in cold weather. Remember not to wear too tightly as to limit circulation and cause abrasion to the hair and scalp. Wearing a head covering for long periods can cause sweat that leads to scalp irritation. Ensure to use an anti dandruff shampoo to prevent unnecessary flakes. An Apple a Day – With the festive season comes all the delicious holidays and get-togethers and parties. The colder season is a much more carb-filled one compared to summertime. Not to say you shouldn’t partake in such gluttonous events. It’s important to remember to balance with nutrient-rich foods. Be consciously aware of what goes in your body and know when to put the pie down. Warm but not Hot Water – Very few things feel better than a hot shower on a cold day. But it’s important to remember regular hot water does not benefit your hair, skin & scalp. Hot Water is one of the best dehydrates. Limit your hair washing to once or twice a week. It’s also important to use a good hair oil to re-infuse your hair’s natural oils. Stress is the Enemy – With the winter months comes Seasonal Effectiveness Disorder, along with darker & colder months. It is very easy to find yourself going down the rabbit hole, especially with Christmas expenses & all-around end-of-year stress. It is important to find activities that balance out your stress levels and keep you centred. Unmitigated stress can cause havoc on all aspects of... --- - Published: 2019-10-09 - Modified: 2025-01-21 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/how-to-deal-with-hat-hair/ As we enter the fall season and the fast-approaching winter months, there are going to be inescapable days when you just can’t avoid wearing a hat. Hat hair can lead to less volume, frizzy & frazzled-looking hair with a sprinkle of electrostatic twist. In today’s discussion, we will advise you on a few prevention and treatment options for dealing with the effects of hat hair. Dry your hair – Putting a hat on wet hair is the enemy of maintaining its control. Doing so will cause your hair to flatten out and take the shape of your hat. Wet hair is much like wet sand in the sense that your head will look like a castle after taking off your hat. To avoid this, it is best to allow your hair to dry naturally. If you are short on time, use a dryer coupled with a diffuser to maintain volume. Moisturize & Condition – Adding a small amount of leave in conditioner before wearing a hat is combative to the static that can arise. Use your fingers to comb the leave in conditioner in your hair. Match Your Style to Your Hat – The age-old saying stays true, if you can’t beat them, join them. Play with styles that are complimented by hats. Braids & wavy styles are great styles to pair Choosing the Right Hat – Synthetic material hats are the ideal situations for static & frizz. It is better to stick with primarily cotton or wool hats. The style of the hat also plays a big role. Beanies & trappers usually flatten your hair and limit breathing. Berets, however, play a lighter, less clingy role in your hair and do not cause as much impact on your hair. The Right Tools for the Right Job – If you anticipate having to wear a hat for an extended period, it’s best to keep some products to assist you in maintaining flare. A light texturizing powder can restore body. Keeping some hair spray and moisturizer can also help restore your hair appeal. Following these quick & easy steps can keep... --- - Published: 2019-09-18 - Modified: 2025-01-21 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/fall-hair-care/ The ending of the summer months also signals the end of the hot humid summer days. The transition to cooler fall weather brings dry, cold air. These conditions can make your hair dry & brittle. With cooler weather also brings windy days. The combination of these weather changes, if left unchecked, can turn your hairstyle into an unmanageable mess. You can follow the next steps to limit the impact of the new fall weather. Don’t Over Wash Your Hair – A common mistake most people make is washing your hair too often. The general rule of thumb is to limit hair washing to every other day. This would ensure your essential hair oils are not stripped away on a regular basis. Regular stripping of hair oils can cause a dry unhealthy scalp. This effect is further compounded if hot water is consistently used. New Season, New Hairdo – A summer spent in the sun can leave your hair dry and damaged. Depending on your hair length, the higher the risk of hair breakages as well. Most hairstylists recommend a trim every 6-12 weeks, depending on length and style. Take this as an opportunity to try out a new style. Cut the Heat, Enjoy the Cold – Avoid overexposing your hair and scalp to too much heat. That means limiting time spent with the hairdryer. Let your hair dry naturally, it takes longer but it’s overall better for your hair. Always make sure to keep the low heat setting as well. Conversely, instead of taking a hot shower, take a cold or lukewarm one instead. Hot water is the enemy of a healthy scalp & hair due to its oil-stripping effects. Use Less Product & Stay Healthy – Gel, wax & spray should be used sparingly in your hair to maintain peak healthiness. Overusing products can lead to additional dryness. Furthermore, your hair is a reflection of your health. Eat well, drink lots of water, get plenty of exercise, sleep well & stay positive.

Coming off of a few months of fun in the sun with no school means the season of change has come. Now that the summer is coming to an end, it's time to switch up your haircare routine. The cooler fall weather brings dry, cold air, which can make your hairdo brittle, and totally unmanageable. But fear not, with the changing of the seasons comes new opportunities. There is something exhilarating about getting that new fresh for fall look. Nothing says new freshness & new style like a new haircut. Time for a Trim - You should get a haircut to clean up your ends every 4 to 6 weeks. A summer of sun exposure can leave your hair damaged and fried. Get your haircut at least a week before school starts. Practicing a new style may take a few days to perfect, and getting a haircut in advance allows time to create different looks. Rethink Moisturizing – The colder autumn air can zap the moisture from your hair & scalp. It is recommended to perform a deep conditioning every 2 weeks. This will help contest the inevitable hat hair. Performing this process will strengthen hair bonds and leave your hair shining. Invest in Products - Heat-activated tools can cause all sorts of damage during the colder months. So, you should add a few protectant products (spray, serum, mousse, or cream) to your fall/winter haircare arsenal. Investing in a good hair oil will maintain moisture and manageability of your styles. The colder weather always comes and being proactive is better than reactive. Invest in Shampoos & Conditioners for the Cold - Taking care of dry winter hair starts in the shower. A great hydrating shampoo infuses moisture into your hair in the very place that you start to strip your natural moisture away. Another great tip is using a dry shampoo. The less you wash your hair the less it gets dried out. Using a dry shampoo/conditioner when you feel a little oil & grease... --- - Published: 2019-06-27 - Modified: 2025-01-21 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/grooming-on-the-go/ In today’s fast-paced, busy lifestyle, it has become a constant challenge to maintain a well-groomed, sharp look. It can also become overwhelming to make sense of the amount of advice, opinions and small jars filled with expensive products on the market. The trick isn't to spend a fortune on lots of different goods or to lock yourself in the bathroom for hours at a time. Rather, you should develop a daily routine focused on maintenance, ensuring you don't let yourself down with unsightly hair. Here are a few guidelines on how to groom on the go. Become a Regular at your Barbershop – It’s highly recommended to book a haircut appointment every 4 weeks. That adds up to 13 visits a year. It becomes too easy to fall into a trap of unbridled hair. If you find it a chore having to tame your hair in the morning, more than likely, it’s time for a snip. Proactive is a better approach than reactive. The Right Product for the Right Job – Hair Products have come a long way since Granddad’s good old wax & pomade. It’s important to know what kind of hair type you have. Thinner hairs require a lighter product like sprays & light lotion. Tame the Facial Beast – Just like cutting grass, it’s easier to maintain when it’s short and consistent, as opposed to overgrown and weed-filled. Get into the habit of performing a facial trim on your signature look once or twice a week depending on complexity. Invest in a good beard & neck trimmer. Wash Your Face Before Bed – A lot of people can’t sleep without having a clean slate before bed. Especially if your days provide a heavy buildup of grime. Use cold water & allow time for your pores to breathe. Don’t Forget the Nose & Ears – It is easy to only focus on the face when grooming. Nothing says noticeable quite like overgrown nose & ear hair. Make sure to trim those as needed to keep the creatures back in their cave.

This means barbecues, swimming pools, and good times. That first dive into a refreshing pool on a hot day is something we all look forward to. With that excitement, however, it’s easy to forget the damage chlorine can have on your hair and scalp. Chlorine is a disinfectant commonly used in pools to kill bacteria, leaving the water safe and clean for a swim. In essence, it’s a less intense version of bleach. While short, intermittent dips in the pool are unlikely to cause significant harm, regular and prolonged contact with chlorinated water is an ideal recipe for hair weakness and breakage. Here’s a closer look at what chlorine is doing to your hair: It Strips Away Natural Defences: Your scalp produces a natural oil, sebum, which acts as a protective conditioner for your hair. Chlorine leaches these vital oils away, leaving your hair unprotected, dehydrated, and feeling brittle and straw-like. It Lifts and Damages the Cuticle: The outer layer of a hair strand, the cuticle, has a structure like overlapping shingles. Chlorine roughs up and lifts these "shingles," making the hair porous. This allows excess moisture to enter the strand, leading to frizz, tangles, and a much higher chance of breakage. It Can Alter Your Hair Colour: The infamous "swimmer's green hair" isn't caused by chlorine alone. Instead, chlorine oxidizes hard metals like copper in the water. These oxidized metals then bond to the proteins in your hair, producing a greenish tint that is most visible on blonde, gray, or colour-treated hair. It Compromises Overall Strength: This combination of stripped oils and a damaged cuticle weakens the hair's internal structure.

Recent pop culture trends would show that this hairstyle is making a popular return to mainstream culture. Growing your hair is labor in love & patience. This is a long-term goal that doesn’t happen overnight. But how do you grow your hair out properly, to ensure that it looks healthy, full, and vibrant? The following tips will prepare you for the long road ahead. Know Your Goal & Stay Focused – The journey ahead is going to be monotonous & awkward at first. You will still need to make visits for haircuts, you want to grow an organized, shaped look. Not doing so can quickly devolve into a wilder look. Make sure you keep your stylist in the loop for your goal. They will use that information, plus your hair type and face shape, to create a cut that looks good now and while getting longer. A trim every 2-3 months to deal with damaged ends should suffice. Grow the Top First – It takes longer for hair growth at the top to be noticeable when compared to the sides and back. There are lots of different short to medium-style haircuts to get you through this phase. Hair grows approximately 1 inch every 2 months. Use this as a gauge of how long you want your look to get. Proper Shampoo/Conditioner Use – Many hair care professionals recommend skipping shampoo outright. This isn’t always possible, especially for those who get visibly greasy after a short period of time. Try to scale back to once or twice a week of shampoo use. Try switching to a dry shampoo, these are ideal for medium to long hair length. Conditioner is a must for long hair. Use conditioner on the ends & shampoo on the scalp. Don’t use hot water to wash out. The Right Product for the Right Job - As your hair length increases so should the tools you use. Longer hair requires lighter products that can hold & shape while avoiding weighing... --- - Published: 2019-05-07 - Modified: 2025-01-21 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-dry-scalp/ With spring in full bloom and summer just around the corner, temperatures are heating up! That means weather changes & outdoor activities. One of the most common questions we receive during our spring & summer time haircuts revolves around the dry scalp. We thought we would share the basics of what to know about Dry Scalp, or as its more common name, Dandruff. Causes & Treatments The main causes of Dandruff can be divided between internal & external factors. Starting with internal factors such as poor diet, dehydration, hereditary inheritance & hormonal changes like puberty. In these instances, you can’t change what you were born with, so treatment is your only option. Dandruff, due to a genetically dry scalp, can be easily treated with specifically targeted scalp treatments. For example, Tea Tree Hair & Scalp treatment. It combats the fungus that causes dandruff while conditioning the scalp to prevent any flakiness. After using your regular shampoo, replace your traditional conditioner with Tea Tree Hair & Scalp treatment. External factors can range from stress, weather changes & product build-up. In these instances, prevention is more beneficial than treatment. With that said it’s important to maintain a recommended balance of water intake per day. Eating healthy and well-balanced means limiting high-sugar & high-salt foods. Eating healthy also means eating the right foods like fatty acids. Foods rich in vitamin B are essential to maintaining a healthy scalp. Also, we are all guilty from time to time to take long hot showers with excessive shampooing. It is important to remember that moderation is key to balancing a healthy, happy scalp. Following these easy steps and educating yourself on the early warning signs can help you maintain a shining, happy, healthy head of hair! --- - Published: 2019-03-26 - Modified: 2025-01-21 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/spring-hair-care/ This past winter was especially unique as it was the only winter in recent memory that felt like it lasted a year. However, now it seems like we are finally out of that cold dark tunnel as the days get longer and the temperatures rise higher every day. With that said, it’s finally time to start thinking about spring and our next seasonal change. Let’s discuss a few hair care tips to start this season with the right look. Start with a Trim – The cold dry air in winter has more than likely taken a toll on your strands. First things first, snip off the dead ends. We're not talking about a major cut: just a small trim to take off all the dry, split ends and make hair look and feel healthy. Switch Shampoo & Conditioners – Most hair care professionals recommend using a moisturizing shampoo/conditioner combo for the cold dry winter months. With spring comes humidity, moisture & warmth, so it’s only prudent to switch your hair care products to those that don’t oversaturate your hair with moisture that can lead to frizz. April Showers Brings April Frizz – In winter, the goal was to limit exposure to dry, cold air. In spring, the goal is to combat humidity and over-saturating moisture in hair, which can lead to frizz. Try using an anti-humidity spray which can act as a real game-changer in the war against frizz. Heat for Straight Hair – Investing in the right tool for the right job is highly recommended in any endeavor. Hair care tools that emit heat are instrumental in keeping your hair looking smooth. Not just blow dryers and straighteners but curling irons as well. These can help define ringlets which ward off frizz. When in Doubt, Adopt a Rainy Day Style – Just as the sun rises, April showers are an unstoppable inevitability. Try playing around with different styles that fit your look especially if you have longer hair. Ponytails, braids & top-knots are a short list of hair-dos examples. They take seconds to create and can hold for hours.... --- - Published: 2019-02-21 - Modified: 2025-01-21 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/hair-loss-prevention-treatment/ Male Pattern Baldness affects approximately 1 in 5 men in North America. It can creep up with very little warning. One morning you wake up and you notice your hairline is receding into the classic “M” shape. Sometimes it’s as simple as noticing your spiral bald spot slowly growing. The hard, ugly truth about it is that male pattern baldness, or, as it’s medically known, Androgenic Alopecia, is mostly out of your control. We are all subject to our biology. If you have the baldness gene, you will eventually go bald. With that said, there are some natural therapies that can make your hair stronger & healthier. These remedies can even slightly slow down your hair loss as well. But unfortunately, they will not prevent you from going bald. Now, let’s discuss some of the largest variables associated with treatments. Maintaining the right diet is a good start in slowing down hair loss. Poor diet can create nutrient-deficient conditions. Try to maintain a steady diet of vitamin A & beta-carotene-rich foods. Carrots, cantaloupe, and bell peppers are a good start. Omega-3-rich fatty fish, such as salmon, are greatly beneficial in contributing to healthy, shiny hair. Zinc deficiencies have been known to cause hair loss as well. Whole grains, milk, poultry, and red meat are commonly rich in zinc. Drink lots and lots of water. Staying hydrated keeps your body in ideal healthy conditions. If your body is not healthy and hydrated, your skin and hair cells will not be able to naturally mature. Aim for 8 to 10 glasses of water a day while actively aiming to limit dehydrating drinks such as coffee & soda pop. Nioxin shampoo and hair treatment have been known to keep your hair in tip-top shape to improve the look and appearance of your hair. Feeding your hair the proper nutrients and care both inside and out will allow it to appear healthier and thicker. Apply the Nioxin shampoo twice daily to a wet scalp. Use approximately 1 mL and gently massage into the affected balding area. Leave in place for a few minutes before... --- - Published: 2019-02-01 - Modified: 2025-01-21 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/how-to-manage-greasy-hair/ Remember the first time you saw the movie Grease and thought to yourself, wow those characters have very greasy hair! You are not alone; the look of greased-back hair has not been in style since the 50s and 60s. The shift in hair care has moved onto the management and treatment of greasy hair. In this discussion, we will cover a few hair care tips for men to manage oil build up & provide some much-needed insight into the origins of oily scalp. Genetic Predisposition – We are all not cut from the same cloth. Some of us, unfortunately, tend to have overactive oil glands. The rule of thumb is usually if you have oily skin, you will most likely have oily hair. This is due to the sebaceous glands that govern your skin’s natural oil, tend to not be localized. If it is on one spot, it tends to be on every spot. Oily hair is not necessarily a bad thing, it is a crucial component to maintaining happy healthy hair. Dry hair becomes brittle and fragile and can lead to simple breaks. The key is finding the right balance. Try to use a shampoo like Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo with gentle cleansing effects. Using a harsh shampoo can lead to overt stripping of the hair’s natural oils. This will lead to your body naturally working overtime to replace the shampoo’s effect. Hair Density – This one applies general math. The more hair you have, the more area your body oils have to cover. The less hair you have, the less area your body has to cover. As a result, shorter hairstyles tend to be prime environments for greasy hair build-up. The treatment for this again is finding the right balance in hair length, hairstyle & proper, consistent shampoo & conditioner treatment to combat overt greasy buildup. Proper Shower & Drying – Overwashing your hair tricks your body into overproducing its natural oils. It is recommended to wash your hair every 2-3 days to maintain oil balance. Blow drying with cool air after patting your hair prevents... --- - Published: 2019-01-06 - Modified: 2025-01-15 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/how-to-keep-your-beard-healthy/ Having a healthy beard goes far beyond growing one. Growing a beard is the easy part; keeping it healthy and manageable is where the true test of will comes into play! Treat your beard with the respect it deserves. By following these simple, easy guidelines, you can have a strong & grizzly-looking beard for life. Wash & Clean. Sounds simple enough, right? Need to remember that beards are made up of hair & hair requires meticulous upkeep. You don’t want to find yesterday’s barbecue sauce deep in the brush. Washing and lathering your beard 2-3 times a week, coupled with a moisturizing shampoo, will keep it shining & fit to seize the day. Dry Properly. It is an initial impulse to quickly and forcefully dry your hair. But frequently doing this can create optimal conditions for split ends to form. Split ends can lead to a haggardly rough beard. It is best to let the beard dry naturally with a gentle patting to assist. Just like when it is growing, the key is patience. Oil Replacement. 2 words, Beard Oil. The above cleaning process is only half of the equation. Shampoo & conditioning removes the body’s natural oils. Use natural oils to reinvigorate that awesome beard shine. Proper Maintenance. It is said no job is difficult with the right tools. Beard maintenance should not be any different. A great beard needs the right gear. The right beard liner/trimmer coupled with regularly sharpened hair scissors are an absolute must in beard upkeep. Proper Diet & Exercise. It is important to remember that what goes in the body is used by the body. If you input junk foods, you will get junk results. Maintaining a well-balanced diet generally tends to promote healthy hair & skin. Once a day multi-vitamins can also assist when it becomes difficult to maintain a diet. If you want a thick great looking beard, you need to eat well, exercise & get enough sleep. Following these 5 simple & easy to remember tips will keep that beard looking happy & healthy.

It’s that time of the year again, the season of giving. This year, make it extra special for that wonderful guy in your life. Long gone is the era of grooming being a women-only practice. There has been a paradigm shift, and for the modern man, self-care & a proper room are required and, some may even say, necessary. It has become a reflection of one’s personality & a large variable in impressions. Here are some suggested products to improve the well-groomed man. 1) Hairstyling Products – Every man has their own unique look that gives them an identity. Use the right product in your hair to mold it to your own design and liking. You can’t go wrong with style sexy hair products such as matte clay & not so hard up gel. This combination will keep your hair looking shiny & stylish. 2) Shaving Kit – This one needs no explanation. Every man is a lump of clay that sculpts its own masterpiece. To create this art, you need the holy grail of shaving, the Rockwell 6S shaving gift set. It redefines a close, smooth shave. For a classic unparalleled shave, look no further. 3) Bathing Body Bar Soap – Daily baths are an essential component of proper hygiene required of every guy. It is critical to use a soap bar that leaves you feeling fresh & rejuvenated. Thoughtfully formulated to clean both skin and facial hair, the Rockwell Beard and Body Bar uses premium jojoba oil, shea butter, and activated charcoal to leave your skin fresh and moisturized, while coffee acts as a natural exfoliant. Designed for all skin types, it will leave you feeling and smelling fantastic all day. 4) Hair & Body Moisturizer - Imagine a moisturizer so versatile that it could be used for skin and hair.

Beards have made a big comeback, and more and more men have begun the process of growing and styling them. Beards are the ultimate test of patience. Before we begin, it should be said there is no miracle pomade to grow a beard. If it is not in your genetics, then it is not meant to be. With that said, there are a few things that, if done properly, can assist in beard growth acceleration. The goal is to maximize your hair growth potential. Follow these easy steps, and before you know it, you will be sporting a mighty beard worthy of worship. Patience is a Virtue – We are all not cut from the same cloth. Everyone’s hair & by extension, facial hair grow at different speeds, coverage & area. We all can’t grow the same kind of beard, but most men can grow their own style of facial hair. Sometimes it takes a month, and sometimes it takes a year. Like a soufflé, you must let it become its own. Healthy Living for a Healthy Beard – Your hair is a reflection of your personal health & overall general well-being. Maximizing your blood flow efficiency is a good place to start. Beards grow from the nutrients your blood transmits to it. Poor blood flow means poor nutrients reaching their destination. Proper rest & sleep is a definite must. In addition to proper rest, a regular exercise regimen coupled with a well-balanced diet will improve your health and hair growth. Testosterone to the Max – Regular exercise produces testosterone. Testosterone is a hormone directly related to hair growth, amongst other factors. Optimizing your testosterone levels will maximize the potential of your beard genetics. Don’t Forget About Skin Care – It’s important to remember that your hair grows out of your sin. So it is important to maintain good skin. Washing your face every day while performing an exfoliation scrub once or twice a week is sufficient skin maintenance. Once completed, remember to reinvigorate your skin’s hydration with a... --- - Published: 2018-11-01 - Modified: 2025-01-21 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/movember-care/ It’s that time of the year again! ! Moustaches in November, or as it is more commonly known, Movember. It is a symbol that has quickly spread throughout the world in support of men’s health charities & awareness. These charities focus on supporting men’s health, specifically in prostate & testicular cancer, mental health, and diet & exercise. Once you have selected the style & shape you want to produce, you will need a regular regimen to keep that stache’ looking sophisticated & trendy. Follow these steps to treat that moustache with the respect it deserves. Cleanse the Stache, Cleanse the Soul – At the core of it all, a moustache is just specifically groomed hair. With that said, you can choose to wash it with any quality facial cleanser. If you’re strapped for cash, shampoo works just as well. Apply hot water to soften the hair bristles. This action also opens up your facial pores and that’s where the cleanser comes into play. Use a circular motion to massage out any dirt and overabundant oils, and wash out thoroughly once done. Maybe he’s Born with it, Maybe it’s Moisturizer – After a thorough cleaning, it is best to reinvigorate your skin & hair's oils. Pat dry after the above cleanse and apply a quality aftershave lotion. This is especially important in months like November due to increasing cold & its effects on drying out skin & hair. Trim & Snip – It is highly recommended to invest in a good quality grooming kit. Wearing any type of facial hair requires meticulous upkeep; this is important if you want to prevent that moustache from getting out of control. Once you have found your style make sure to trim unruly hairs and maintain shape and texture. Right Product for the Right Job – If you are in it for the long haul, it is recommended to invest in beard products such as beard oils, creams, waxes & washes.

Continuity rates are the rate at which a franchised location will close in relation to how many were opened in a given time period. A high continuity rate means a higher chance of success, equaling more stability, confidence, and freedom. Franchising already offers a pretty high rate of success for businesses, but Sport Clips offers continuity at a whole different level. Over the last 5 years, Sport Clips has maintained a 95. 4% continuity rate. That number is unheard of in any franchise industry. Our continuity rate means more than 95% of Sport Clips opened in the last 5 years stayed open and remained successful. In fact, of our 1,800+ locations, only 6 have closed in the last few years—and two of them were the result of an anchor closing without any relocation opportunities. Our continuity rate is why so many of our franchisees put their trust in our systems and culture. How Do We Maintain a High Continuity Rate? It’s made up of a few different factors, but the main components are this: we have a clearly-defined market with a simple business model. Since 1993, our team has seen a need and sought to fulfill it—so our approach works in any province, city, or town. The powerful simplicity of our model means our businesses stay open and successful. Our stores succeed for many reasons, including:Relatively low startup investmentSimply and straightforward operationsMinimal inventory or receivablesRecurring revenue with high repeat customer volumeRecession resistant industry (everyone needs haircuts! )Strict qualifications for real estate and potential franchiseesStrong support and training system for every Sport Clips storeContinuous performance monitoring to provide extra resources if neededConstant improvement of our systems and extensive testing of all new ideasIf you want to have an impact in your community while creating a strong, stable business, request more information from Sport Clips, or call (800) 818-9576 today. --- - Published: 2025-10-21 - Modified: 2025-10-21 - URL: https://sportclips.ca/blog/franchise-resource/our-industry/ Recession-Proof Growth PotentialWhy choose the hair cutting industry?

That’s why our stores grow at a faster rate than the industry average, dominating market share quickly and with stability. Sport Clips targets a large and largely ignored niche in the hair cutting market: men and boys. * By focusing on a market that is clear, simple, and lucrative, our franchisees can own and operate their Sport Clips store with confidence. No one haircutting service dominates the Canadian market, making this an exciting time for entrepreneurs who want to buy their own salon franchise.

With a semi-absentee / manager-run model, franchise owners can focus on working ON their business, not IN it. That’s what allows us to provide our franchise opportunity to any entrepreneur, regardless of their experience. That means greater stability and freedom for our franchisees, or as we call them, Team Leaders. Team Leader Our franchisees are called Team Leaders because that’s what they do: lead. They are the role models, cheerleaders, and coaches for their managers and teams. Their leadership, support, and business expertise guide their teams to victory as they all work together to achieve amazing results. Area Manager Team Leaders appoint Area Managers to manage multiple stores on their behalf. Usually, Area Managers will be hired when a Team Leader owns five or more stores. Area Managers dedicate themselves to operations and communicating between the TL and his or her multiple Store Managers. Area Managers may also manage pre-opening operations and marketing for their particular region. Store Manager Store Managers are responsible for the day-to-day performance of a single Sport Clips store, and thus are usually licensed barbers or cosmetologists. They focus on operations of their store, coordinating the communication between Assistant Managers, Stylists, and the Team Leader. Assistant Manager Usually a licensed cosmetologist or barber, Assistant Managers provide backup for their Store Managers. They are trained to act as Managers when the Store Manager is not available or is not working on a given shift. We recommend having at least two Assistant Managers to provide your store with total coverage, while ensuring your store runs with complete efficiency whether or not the Store Manager is on shift. A large number of Assistant Managers also give you a deep bench of potential Store Managers when you decide to expand your holdings.

Internationally, over the past five years, we’ve opened between 70-125 new stores every year. That means Sport Clips Canada is poised to grow rapidly and responsibly throughout the nation, in every province and city. Why Do We Grow So Quickly? The answer to that question is pretty simple: because we saw a need and responded to it. Our business started because we found that almost all salons were designed to appeal to women and girls, but very few haircutting businesses truly catered to men. They simply offered haircuts—not the fun and amazing experience we are now known for. When we created a salon to exclusively serve men and boys, growth was incredibly fast:1993The very first Sport Clips opened in Austin, TX. 1995With systems developed and proven, we opened our first franchise location in Houston. 1998We opened our 50th franchise store in the U. S. 2007Sport Clips opened its 400th and 500th store just months apart! 2012Our franchising expanded into Canada as Sport Clips International’s first Master Franchisor. 2014Sport Clips opened its 1,000th store. 2015We opened our first store in Maine, meaning we had stores in all 50 U. S. states! 2016More than 1,500 Sport Clips are open throughout the U. S. and Canada. 2019More than 1,800 Sport Clips are open throughout the U. S. and Canada. One major part of our success has been our commitment to our Team Members (franchisees). We offer unparalleled training and support to our owners, offering them and their employees everything from business strategy to stylist training. Our simple model, our crystal-clear market, and our dedication to investing in their success has allowed us to maintain an incredibly high and sustainable growth rate. Learn more!
