Sports Clips is a hair salon just for guys (and boys) located in Lindale in a strip mall behind KFC near the Walmart. There are also 2 locations in Tyler and many more nationwide.
My husband uses Sports Clips every time and sometimes we take our son – aged 7. My husband hates having his haircut but this place makes it quite bearable. Firstly it’s very casual – you don’t need an appointment, you just show up whenever you feel like it and sign in for the next available haircutter. This does mean that you can’t get the same stylist – but most men don’t mind about that – they just want the job done!
Secondly, you don’t have to make small talk with the person cutting your hair. There are TVs playing sport all the time and it is quite OK to sit in silence and watch whatever is showing. This is a bonus for men – even those who don’t like sport! Thirdly the opening times are convenient – you can go after work or at the weekend for a cut and they are pretty speedy about it.
Our Sports Clips is well lit, warm and has a casual atmosphere with sports memorabilia on the walls from our local school team, the Texas Longhorns, Dallas Cowboys and Aggies – to cover all the bases! They also sell Nioxin and Paul Mitchell hair products but there is no pressure to buy.
The haircuts have always been fairly good – it is quite busy in there so I guess the stylists get lots of practice – and how difficult can ‘short back and sides’ really be?
There are 3 choices of service available. A ‘Varsity’ haircut is the quickest and least expensive, the ‘Triple Play’ includes a shampoo and steamed towel as well as a haircut and the ‘MVP’ is the most indulgent service with conditioner, steamed towel, and a 5 minute neck and shoulder massage. If you choose this one you are able to come in between cuts and get those stray hairs on your neck trimmed for free.
My son has the Junior Varsity cut – which is quick and simple and costs just $14.
A final thing to note about Sports Clips is that there is a reward card system, sometimes there are special offers – watch the local newspaper- and best of all, you can sign up for a free haircut during the month of your birthday. It is easy to see why Sports Clips is popular and why this franchise is growing so rapidly in the US. Personally I wouldn’t trade my long term relationship with my friendly hairdresser for the world – I trust her and enjoy my pampering mornings at her salon, but I can see why Sports Clips is perfect for a man!

I think the sportsclips on troup highway is run by a nazi. The manager orders the employees to go to an amusement park at the employees expense (70 bucks). Not to mention they had to go or be fired and they werent compensated for it. The manager also talks about her employees to paying customers. Where is the professionalism?
