If you think Great Clips is just another chain that prepares stylists for full-service salons, we have some people for you to meet: Ruth, a franchisee in Kansas City; James, a training and service representative in Vancouver, BC; Marybeth, a franchisee in Denver; Roxie, a franchisee in Atlanta; Carla a franchisee in Minneapolis; Sandy, a training and service representative in Washington, DC; Marie, a regional director in Atlanta; and many more. All trained as stylists, they're long-term employees who have paved the way for other stylists in the system.
