Premier Partner: Sport Clips

In the early 1990s, Gordon Logan recognized the huge potential, and relative lack of competition, in the men’s and boys’ haircut market. He wanted to create a place where guys could take care of one of life’s necessities – a haircut – and say “This is my kind of place; I feel comfortable here” when they walked in the door. Assembling a group of passionate industry professionals, Gordon and his team worked together to develop the unique Sport Clips Haircuts concept we know today. While the Sport Clips logo and store design have changed since the first location opened in Austin, Texas in 1993, Gordon’s goal, and Sport Clips’ mission – to provide a “championship haircut experience in an exciting sports environment” – remains the same.

At the heart of Sport Clips’ culture is its values system, which was inspired by the same core values Coach Lou Holtz used to build championship football teams: “Do Your Best. Do What’s Right. Treat Others the Way They Want to Be Treated.”
