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.”

Building Amazing Teams Out of Amazing Players

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.

This is our word for a Sport Clips franchisee. Team Leaders are exactly that—they function as their team’s role model, the primary image of the Sport Clips vision, their cheerleader, and their coach. They focus on providing leadership, guidance, information, and support to every Team Member.
