Cost Cutters
Cost Cutters runs a senior discount day at many locations — typically Tuesdays or Wednesdays — with cuts up to $3–$5 off. Outside the discount day the regular senior pricing is similar to Great Clips. Find a Cost Cutters →
SmartStyle
The SmartStyle senior cut runs $13–$20 in most markets — already among the cheapest haircuts in the country. Some Walmart-attached locations also run a "Senior Tuesday" with an additional discount. Find a SmartStyle →
Great Clips
Senior cuts at Great Clips are typically priced $2–$3 below the standard adult cut, which puts them in the $15–$22 range in most markets. Cutoff is usually 65, but franchise policy varies — some stores set the cutoff at 60. Bring ID; most stores ask. The senior price is listed as a separate line item on the in-store menu board, so you don't have to ask for it explicitly. Find a Great Clips →
Hair Cuttery
Hair Cuttery offers a senior discount that varies by location, typically $2–$5 off. The chain's rewards program (Hair Cuttery Cash Back) stacks with the senior discount, so seniors who visit regularly accumulate credit faster than non-seniors. Find a Hair Cuttery →
Sport Clips
Most Sport Clips offer a senior discount on the Varsity cut (the standard men's haircut), typically $2–$3 off. The MVP package usually does not get the senior discount — it's already a premium service. Cutoff varies by franchise. Find a Sport Clips →
Supercuts
Supercuts senior cuts run roughly $2–$4 below the standard adult price (so typically $20–$28). Cutoff is 65 at most stores. The discount is automatic at the kiosk if you check the senior box; you may be asked for ID at the chair. Find a Supercuts →
Pigtails & Crewcuts
This is the only chain in the U.S. built exclusively for kids. Every chair is a car, plane, or themed seat. Every stylist is hired and trained specifically for kids — meaning they're patient, fast, and they don't get rattled by a four-year-old screaming. They also offer a "first haircut" package with a photo and a saved lock of hair, which most adult chains can't do. Prices run $22–$32 for a kids' cut, which is a few dollars premium over a generic chain — but if your kid normally turns a haircut into a 45-minute battle, it's worth every penny. See locations →
