investment opportunity with the types of systems, training and support
we have in place to make Sport Clips a business asset for them personally
as well as to the local communities and individuals they serve. This
Forbes ranking is a testament to the high-quality people we have in our system
at every level…from the stylists and managers who look to Sport
