SPORT CLIPS FAQ

FAQs

General Questions

  • Are Sport Clips locations owned by the same company?

    Sport Clips Haircuts is a franchise system, which means stores are independently owned and operated by local business owners, or franchisees.

  • What are Sport Clips store hours?

    Because each location is independently owned and operated, each store sets their own hours. Most are open seven days a week. In addition, hours and open days may change for holidays. We recommend using our store locator to find the store you want to visit to verify their store hours.

  • How do I find a store in my area?

    You can use our store locator and search by city, state or zip code to find the stores in your neighborhood. You can also click the Check In Online button at the top right of this page or download the Sport Clips app. The app is available for both iOS and Android by searching Sport Clips Haircuts.

  • What is your busiest time of day?

    Busy hours vary by location. We recommend downloading the Sport Clips Haircuts mobile app. There you can check wait times for the stores in your area. The app is available for both iOS and Android by searching Sport Clips Haircuts.

  • What do I do if I have an issue at the store?

  • Where can I find product information about the items that are sold in-store?

    We recommend asking your Stylist any questions you have about a specific product. Most Sport Clips locations carry products such as American Crew, Paul Mitchell, Gibs Grooming, Sexy Hair, and Actiiv.

Online Check-In Questions

  • What is Online Check In?

    Online Check In is the Sport Clips web and app-based system that allows Clients to check in for a haircut online and track your real-time wait time so you can know exactly where you stand.

  • Why should I use Online Check In?

    Online Check in is all about convenience. You can check wait times, discover stores based on distance and wait times, select your favorite Stylist, receive check in reminders, view the wait board live after check in and opt in for special promotions.

  • Why do I need to create an account?

    An account is required so your online check in can be linked to your physical visit when you arrive at the store. This allows the Stylist to mark you as arrived in the system and mark you as "on deck" for your haircut.

  • When can I check in for a haircut?

    Online Check In is available five minutes after the store is open and ends roughly 30 minutes before the store closes. The 30-minute window at closing is an estimate because wait times are based on our Stylist's average service time, so it's important to check the wait time of the store you want to visit and compare it to the store's closing time.

  • I'm all checked in for my haircut. What do I need to do when I arrive at the store?

    Upon arrival, you'll see your name on the waitlist, but make sure you sign in at the self-service kiosk to confirm you have arrived. You can also speak to a Stylist who can assist and confirm your arrival.

  • How do I cancel my check-in?

    After confirming your check in, you'll be taken to the lineup screen displaying your estimated arrival time. You can cancel from this screen.

  • I want to bring my kid(s) for a haircut. Do I need to create an additional account?

    You can request multiple haircuts via check in so there is no need to create an account for your children or other minor family members you plan to bring with you. Once you log in, you can add a guest to your visit and you will receive estimated wait times for each person. You can also check in one or more guests/family members even if you don't want services for yourself.

  • How do I choose a specific Stylist?

    After you Join the Lineup, you can select your preferred Stylist or pick the first available Stylist.

  • Can I save my stylist or location?

    Favorites can be saved within the app by clicking the heart icon next to a Stylist or location name. This feature is not available on the web option.
