Regional strengths of hair salon chains (cut, haircut, clips, thin)

[Pink Jazz]

I was wondering, if any hair salon chain seems to be predominant in your area, which do you think it is?

While I normally get my hair cut at Supercuts, it does seem like here in the Phoenix area that Great Clips seems to be the predominant chain. I noticed the same is true in Albuquerque as well; I wonder if the Southwest is one of their strongest markets.

The most prominent "fast food haircut places" chains in this metro are GreatClips by a landslide, followed by probably SportsClips and Fantastic Sam's.

this is so odd come to think of it . I really don't see any hair salon chains mostly independants here and they charge way too much so I do my own and I only trim the ends and I have never liked getting my hair cut . It saddens me when I see so many women in salons getting their hair chopped off and then they are crying cause they don't like it . It has happened twice when I went to a salon to get a trim and I said never again .

I'm not sure I ever see any chains around here, either! I do see independent shops all over.

I cut my own hair.

I go to an independent salon. The chains I’ve noticed include Supercuts & Sportclips. There’s a Toni & Guy I used to go to.

I think it’s mostly independent salons & barbershops here in the Houston area. Or maybe I just don’t notice a lot of chains.
