What does a Great Clips haircut actually cost with a coupon? There is no single answer — the chain is franchised, and every owner sets their own prices. Since November 2025 we have recorded every Great Clips coupon we could find: the price, the salon, the town, the day it appeared and the day it expired. This page is what that archive shows, and it updates itself as new coupons come in.
The archive currently holds 1,869 salon coupons from 1,353 salons in 708 towns across 46 states. Their average advertised price is $11.38, but the average hides more than it shows: prices cluster around a handful of familiar marketing numbers. The most frequent were $9.99 (453 coupons), then $12.99 (307), $10.99 (211), $8.99 (131), $13.99 (102). The full range runs from $3.99 to $19.99.
Where you live matters more than anything else
Geography is the strongest single factor in the whole dataset. These are the 17 states where we have recorded at least thirty coupons — enough for a fair comparison — ordered by average price:
At the time of writing, Alabama is the cheapest state in the ranking and Washington the most expensive, and a coupon haircut at the top end costs roughly twice what it does at the bottom. The pattern follows local rents and wages rather than anything about the chain itself, which is what you would expect from a franchise business. It also means that a national “average price” is close to useless for planning a visit: what matters is your state, and after that your town.

Inside a state, the spread can be just as wide
Texas gives us the deepest data, and it shows that a short drive can matter as much as a state line. Pantego and Paris have averaged around five dollars, while Austin and the Bryan–College Station area sit near eleven. Dallas and Fort Worth, despite their size, are among the cheapest places in the state. Just across the Red River, Durant in southern Oklahoma has the lowest town average in our whole archive, with Ardmore and Ada close behind — while Oklahoma City, a couple of hours north, costs more than twice as much.
Has the price gone up?
Our records fall into two observation windows: November 2025 to January 2026, and August to September 2026. We were not collecting between February and July. Comparing the two windows state by state, for the 14 states with enough data in both:
| State | Winter 2025/26 | Late summer 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Utah | $10.06 | $13.55 | +$3.49 |
| Oklahoma | $7.99 | $10.77 | +$2.78 |
| Arizona | $8.73 | $10.74 | +$2.01 |
| Texas | $8.30 | $10.02 | +$1.72 |
| Colorado | $14.85 | $16.18 | +$1.34 |
| Indiana | $10.34 | $11.43 | +$1.09 |
| California | $15.35 | $16.05 | +$0.71 |
| North Carolina | $11.71 | $12.16 | +$0.45 |
| Ohio | $10.55 | $10.34 | −$0.21 |
| Washington | $17.69 | $17.28 | −$0.41 |
| Kansas | $10.42 | $9.99 | −$0.43 |
| Florida | $12.50 | $11.68 | −$0.83 |
| South Carolina | $9.59 | $8.66 | −$0.93 |
| Pennsylvania | $12.49 | $11.54 | −$0.95 |
8 of these 14 states got more expensive, and the national average moved from $10.47 in the winter window to $12.09 in the late-summer one. The monthly detail matters, though. Utah's rise, for example, is almost entirely one August in which nearly every coupon was $15.99 or $17.99 — by September most salons there were back to $9.99. Florida swung the other way, with its cheapest month in August and its most expensive in September. And in North Texas and southern Oklahoma, the cheapest salons of last winter switched from fixed prices to “$6 off” coupons this summer, which pushes those states’ price averages up without anyone necessarily paying more. Nothing in the data suggests a coordinated change; it looks like independent owners adjusting their own offers.
Coupons do not wait for you
A Great Clips coupon is short-lived. Across the archive the average gap between an offer appearing and expiring is about 20 days, and it varies a lot by state: Tennessee offers typically vanish within a week, while in Ohio and Missouri they often stay up for a month. Most salons also post coupons only occasionally, so a discount at your local salon today is no guarantee of one next month.
What this means if you just want a cheaper haircut
Check the next town over. Within a state the spread between towns can be as large as the spread between states.
Look at the area-wide offers. In many states — Georgia, Florida, California, Kentucky, Illinois among them — the region-wide promotions come in well below the typical single-salon coupon.
Use a coupon when you see one. With lifetimes measured in weeks and salons posting irregularly, waiting for a better offer at the same place is usually a losing bet.
How we collect this, and what it does not say
We record every Great Clips coupon we find and store its advertised price, the salon name and address, the town and state, the date we first saw it and its stated expiry. Nothing here is estimated or modelled: every figure on this page is counted from recorded coupons, and the numbers are recalculated whenever the page is loaded. Coupons that give a fixed amount off (“$6 off”) rather than a price are not included in the price figures, since they say nothing about what the haircut costs.
Limits worth stating plainly. The data covers two windows with a gap from February to July 2026, so the before-and-after comparison is between those windows, not a continuous series. The state ranking only includes states with at least thirty coupons; town figures only include towns with at least five. Canadian coupons are excluded from all figures because they are priced in Canadian dollars.
Above all, these are coupon prices — what a discounted haircut costs. The regular walk-in price at the same salon is higher, and we do not have data on it.
