Customer Service and FAQs (2024)

With Online Check-In, you can put your name on the salon waitlist from anywhere—meaning the time you might spend in the lobby can be spent at home or running errands. Online Check-In shows you real-time estimated wait times so you can make getting a haircut work for your schedule. You can check in online on greatclips.com or with the Great Clips® app. When you check in online, you have the option to receive a ReadyNext® text alert when your estimated wait time reaches 15 minutes.

You can check in online five minutes after the salon is scheduled to open and throughout the day, until 30 minutes before closing time. Online Check-In is not available the first five minutes after the salon opens to allow customers who are physically at the salon time to be checked in and have their names added to the waitlist.

When you're on the waitlist, chances are you'll be next or almost next in line when you arrive. Please note that if you request a specific stylist upon arriving at the salon, your wait time may be longer.

Online Check-In can be used for all services except perms and formal updos. Please note that not all salons offer perms. Most salons require an appointment for these services, so please call the salon to inquire.

No. For the stylist’s safety, we do not publish their schedules or allow customers to request them using Online Check-In. We do keep Clip Notes®, which tracks details about any previous haircut you received at a Great Clips salon, so any stylist can give you a great haircut. If you would like to request a particular stylist, be sure to say that when you arrive at the salon and complete your check-in. Requesting a stylist may increase your estimated wait time.

You can check in from any device that has internet (tablet, computer, etc.). Go to greatclips.com and click on Find a Salon or Check In. Enter your zip/postal code or city and you'll be using Online Check-In in no time! If you don't have an Internet connection, you can always walk right into any salon and add your name to the list.

On your smartphone, use our Great Clips app, which is available for iPhone and Android devices. On your computer, you can go to greatclips.com and click the Check-In button, or you can visit the salon locator page, enter your zip/postal code, and choose a convenient location by clicking on the icon aroundon the map or scrolling through the list. Once you find your preferred salon, click on Check In. Then, tell us your name, how many people will be getting haircuts, and you’ll be added to the waitlist!

After you check in online, you’ll see your estimated wait time. You can sign up for ReadyNext texts to receive a text message when your estimated wait time is 15 minutes or less, so you can head to the salon. Once you arrive, let the stylists know you're there, and they’ll confirm your information and finish your check in.

When you arrive, be sure to let the stylists know so they can finish your check in.

We understand—things happen! Don't worry if you lose your keys, spill something or get stuck in traffic. We'll keep your name on the list for a short period of time.

Online Check-In will not be available during the first five minutes a salon is scheduled to be open. This gives customers who are physically in the salon when it opens a chance to be checked in and have their names added to the waitlist.

We accept online check-ins up until 30 minutes before closing time. You can still get a haircut at closing time, you just can't check in on greatclips.com or the Great Clips app.

That means that the salon is experiencing very high demand, so Online Check-In is not available. We apologize for the inconvenience, as we can only accept walk-in customers until the wait time decreases.

If you checked in on greatclips.com, return to your check-in page and click “Cancel check-in.”. If you checked in using the app, go to the home screen and tap “Cancel check-in.”

ReadyNext is a text message that notifies you when your estimated wait time reaches 15 minutes as your cue to head to the salon.

To receive a ReadyNext text, check in online using the Great Clips® app or on greatclips.com. Once you check in online, you will be asked if you want to receive a ReadyNext text. If you consent to receive the text, then once your estimated wait time reaches 15 minutes, you’ll receive a text saying it’s time to head to the salon. We encourage you to still pay close attention to your wait time to avoid missing your spot on the waitlist. While ReadyNext is meant to send a text message as your haircut time nears, it is also possible that you may still have a short wait when you arrive at the salon. When you check in, if the estimated wait time is below 15 minutes, you’ll be directed to head straight to the salon and will not be given the option to opt-in for a text message.

No. Each time you use Online Check-In, you will have the opportunity to opt-in to receive a ReadyNext text.

The estimated wait time is based on the current conditions in the salon. As customers check in and are served, and as the team members change shifts, the estimated wait time adjusts accordingly. Also, if you arrive more than 15 minutes after your appointment, the salon may have taken the next person on the list and your wait time may have had to be adjusted.

Using Online Check-In saves your place in line, and salons will keep customers on the waitlist for a bit of time in case customers run a few minutes late. The salon may remove your name from the waitlist if you arrive after your estimated check-in time. We encourage you to watch your estimated wait time and head to the salon so you arrive before your estimated haircut time.

Customers can receive Great Clips coupons through multiple ways, including printed postcards, broadcast television and radio, Facebook and Instagram ads, email, app messages and more. Since Great Clips salons are independently owned and operated, the availability of discounts will vary by location. We urge you to be cautious with any coupons you might see online, because some are not authorized by Great Clips or are only applicable to specific market(s) or salon(s). If you’re not sure if a coupon is valid, we recommend checking with your local salon.

Please check with your local salon directly regarding what coupons and discounts they are currently offering and accepting. Our digital coupons have a unique, single-use coupon code that is 5 or 6 characters long. These coupons include terms and conditions, along with important details like what market(s), city, or salon(s) the coupon is valid in and when it expires. This information is also usually displayed directly below the single-use coupon code. If you have questions, please contact your local salon to verify if they accept the coupon.

The coupon should have an expiration date and an explanation of where the coupon is valid. If you can’t determine this information based on the coupon you have, you can call your local salon to verify if they accept the coupon.

If you’ve seen a coupon in a Facebook or Instagram ad, you can click on the ad and you will be directed to a web page where you’ll be able to see the offer details and get a single-use coupon code. If you see a coupon online that does not have a 5 or 6 character single-use coupon code, it is likely not a valid Great Clips coupon. Each coupon will include a Terms & Conditions section that confirms which locations will accept the coupon and the expiration date of the coupon. If you have questions, please contact your local salon to verify if they accept the coupon.

Great Clips uses single-use coupon codes in addition to barcodes to deliver coupons. If you see a coupon that doesn’t have a barcode or unique, single-use coupon code that is 5 or 6 digits long, it is likely not a valid Great Clips coupon. You can call your local salon to verify if they accept the coupon.

Each location is independently owned and operated by a franchisee who decides which coupons they offer and accept. If you’d like a follow-up, please email [emailprotected] with the salon location and details. We will forward it onto the franchisee so they can get in touch with you regarding your concerns or you can contact your local salon directly.

Franchisees independently decide if they offer discounts for students. You can call your local salon to verify if they offer student discounts.
