Our History

We were founded in 2003 by Don and Laura Elliott. In the last 20 years the business has grown and had much success with 26 locations in East TN. We are a top performing market in the Great Clips system. We believe that our stylists are the most important part of our business. We take care of the people that take care of the people. We offer great benefits and like to have fun!

We also believe in giving back to the community. Every year we do a charity event for East TN Childrens Hospital at the TN Valley Fair and raise thousands of dollars in donations. We also participate in the Childrens Miracle Network balloon campaign every year.

I choose to work for great clips because it lets me not only make people feel good about themselves, but the amount of support is breathtaking. To work for great clips? We never work, we laugh, smile, and have the absolute best time! It’s nice knowing I’ll never work a day in my life. My favorite thing great clips does is give back to the community in so many ways, as well as always have each other's backs!

1. I choose gsk because you aren’t just a number you’re an actual person. 2. It’s amazing. Like I said you’re a real person, the upper mgmt is always showing appreciation by bringing surprise treats, gifts, etc 3. During covid the mgmt kept in touch by text or facetiming just to check in on us. 4. The extras we offer paid vac, closed on holidays, the insurances, biannual raises, and just the appreciation

I think my story can be super relatable! I chose Great Salons because they offer something I have never found, a company that you work for that understands you day to day because they have been in your shoes before. They offer opportunities to the people within and I think that’s so important. To work at Great Salons is AMAZING! The company has built a great culture for everyone else to build off of. It is a group of supportive people that want to see you succeed. They offer more than just a job. One of my favorite things about Great Salons is they recognize their stylists in every way possible! They listen to our opinions and we have a voice within the company. The time taken to get to know every employee individually is not only important to me but also important to them.

I started at Great Clips as a receptionist while I was in Beauty School. I learned SO MUCH MORE about cutting hair while being on the floor watching my fellow stylists. My team was great with answering questions and explaining the cuts. I felt so comfortable transitioning from receptionist to stylist after passing my board exams. While I was in school we had a visit from a local Great Clips stylist and by the end of their visit I knew that this was the place I wanted to work. Great clips has a guaranteed base wage on top of commission and not worrying about booth rent and booking clients was such a relief. Add on all the other benefits- insurance, paid time off, and getting a w2 I knew then I was SOLD.
