Offering walk-in service, Great Clips is now offering haircuts in Whitefish.
Great Clips is located in the Mountain Mall near Super 1 Foods.
Including Whitefish, franchise owner Kyle Eckmann owns a total of 27 Great Clip locations, including one already in Kalispell.
Holly Trepanier, operations manager for Great Clips, says the Whitefish location was a natural expansion because the Kalipsell location was one of the largest already.
“We saw a chance to expand as many of our customers and employees were coming from Whitefish,” she said. “Growing as an organization this made sense to us.”
Manager of the Whitefish location is Shantel Sweeney, who has been with Great Clips for 18 years. Sweeney said there are seven stylists employed at the shop and all of them came with experience previously working at the Kalispell shop.
The Whitefish location offers adult and child haircuts and styling, along with bang, neck and beard trims.
“Great Clips offers fast and friendly service that is quality, but also affordable,” Trepanier said.
