Great Clips' to Open First Walk-in Salon in Regina at Acre 21 in May

REGINA, May 8, 2019 /CNW/ - Families in Regina will now be able to experience the convenience and affordability of Great Clips' walk-in hair salons with the opening of its first location in Regina's Greens on Gardiner community. The salon opens this month and is one of the latest additions to the Acre 21 mixed retail hub.

This will be the second Great Clips salon for owner Jignesh Sanghavi, who opened his first store in Calgary in 2012. Sanghavi is pleased to now welcome Regina's area residents to the new haircutting destination, located in the city's burgeoning south east neighbourhood.

Great Clips, with 4,300 locally-owned salons across the U.S. and Canada, is known for providing value-priced, high quality haircare for families without the need for an appointment. Customers are encouraged to add their name to the wait list in advance using Great Clips' system-wide technology Online Check-in, available through greatclips.com or the Great Clips App. And the same haircut is assured with each visit, as details of customers' profiles are made available to every Great Clips-licensed stylist through the Clip Notes® service. But the hair salon brand is also known for the local support of its franchisees, who often give back to the neighbourhoods they operate in through community participation.

"Great Clips store owners build strong relationships within their communities and consistently support a variety of local initiatives and organizations," said Farhan Merchant, Marketing Manager for Great Clips. "This location marks the first in the Regina market, both for Great Clips and Jignesh, and we look forward to introducing local residents to the Great Clips experience."

The new Great Clips salon will be located at Acre 21, 6-3759 Chuka Blvd. For more information, visit www.greatclips.com.
