All 1,850 locations of Sport Clips will host National Signing Days with guaranteed interviews, and instant job offers for qualified stylist and barber candidates.

Sport Clips Haircuts, a leading franchise dedicated to men's and boys' haircare, is growing and so is its need for professional stylists. Coming up July 26 and 27, all 1,850 locations will host National Signing Days with:
- Guaranteed interviews
- Instant job offers for qualified candidates
- Chance to win one of 25 BaBylissPRO FX Combo styling tools
“Sport Clips locations are looking to hire the best stylists and barbers who want to be a part of building something exciting and joining a team that feels the same way,” says Edward Logan, Sport Clips Haircuts president and CEO. “Sport Clips came through 2020 in great shape and is investing heavily in the future with continued store openings and technology that helps clients and stylists. Most importantly, stylist earning potential is higher than ever, with tips at an all-time high. Our local franchisees are excited to meet you and we hope you come in and join us for this event.”
Some compelling stats for stylists eager to put their talent and training to work for a company with the visibility and foot traffic Sport Clips has to offer came from a recent study the brand conducted with OnePoll that indicates:
- A higher percentage of men are willing to try new haircuts so there’s ample opportunity to put their creativity to good use, especially since 47 percent of the men surveyed say they “don’t know what hairstyles look good on them.”
- After 74 percent of respondents said they cut their hair at home or did not cut their hair during the pandemic, the timing is ripe with clients returning to get back-to-school, travel, wedding, and back-to-the-office haircuts.
“What’s great for stylists is that the majority of Sport Clips locations are locally owned, so they can work for a nationally recognized brand with local store owners and team members,” says Julie Vargas, a licensed stylist, and Sport Clips vice president of career opportunities. “Plus, choosing to work for Sport Clips gives stylists the opportunity to wear comfortable, sports attire; work on custom anti-fatigue flooring; and experience on-going training and career advancement options.” Both Glassdoor and Comparably have ranked Sport Clips as a top place to work.
