  1. Great job on this article that looks into the franchise haircare industry, Annie.

    I’m proud to say that my late father and I helped sell out the Cleveland area for Great Clips many years ago when we were brokers. Great company.

    This type of franchise business can be a good one for the right person.

    The Franchise King®

  2. I’ve owned Great Clips salons for nearly 30 years. We are the largest brand in the world and there is no better operation in the industry.

  3. Nice list. It is nice to know that the franchises are open as well. It may be good for business owners who are interested in the beauty industry.

  4. There are so many different franchises to choose from. I think this is a great option for some entrepraneurs, but starting your own salon can also be a very good choice
