Senior Discounts at Walk-In Hair Salon Chains
Most chains take a few dollars off for customers 60 or 65 and over. Here's the full breakdown across the major brands.
Almost every major walk-in chain offers a senior discount, but the cutoff age, the dollar amount, and the policy all vary. Here's the chain-by-chain breakdown.
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
Combining the senior discount with coupons
Almost every chain allows the senior discount to stack with one other discount — typically a $2 or $3 email coupon. They don't allow stacking three discounts, and they don't honor "best price" requests where you try to combine four. Pick the senior discount + one coupon, and you'll get the best price the chain will give you.
Veterans and active military
Sport Clips offers free haircuts for active military and veterans on Veterans Day, and many locations extend a year-round veteran discount. Bring military ID. The free-haircut day is the chain's busiest of the year — use online check-in.
