Great Clips doesn’t have a first responder discount. You can earn cash back on a haircut by paying with a Fluz virtual card, and because each salon is locally owned, it’s worth asking yours what coupons it’s running.
Great Clips is a walk-in hair salon chain with more than 4,400 salons across the U.S. and Canada, and every one of them is franchised. Salons are open evenings and weekends, and Online Check-In lets you add your name to the wait list before you leave the house.
How To Get The Great Clips First Responder Discount
There’s no first responder price at Great Clips, and ID.me says it isn’t aware of one. The one route that works at any salon is a Fluz virtual card, which is a payment card and not a Great Clips offer. It isn’t a first responder discount, and the rate moves, so read the current figure in the Fluz app before you rely on it. Here’s how it works:
- Use the button below to create a free Fluz account, or sign in if you already have one.
- Verify your Fluz account and link a bank account to fund your purchases.
- Search for Great Clips in Fluz and create a virtual card.
- Add the card to Apple Pay or Google Pay on your phone.
- Pay with your phone at the salon counter after your cut, as long as your salon takes tap-to-pay.
Ask Your Local Salon About Coupons
Great Clips salons are independently owned franchises, so most sales and coupons are set by the salon or the local market, not by Great Clips nationwide. A coupon will say where it’s accepted and when it expires. Ask at the counter what your salon is running before you pay.
Great Clips also emails a $2 off coupon to anyone who signs up for its email list for the first time. It’s a one-time offer for newly signed-up addresses, and it can’t be combined with other offers.
If you’re 65 or older, you qualify for the senior haircut price. Tell your stylist at checkout. It’s at participating salons only, it can vary by location, and it doesn’t cover styling or hair products.
What Cash Back Is And Isn’t
The cash back comes from Fluz, not from Great Clips. To the salon it’s an ordinary card payment, and nobody asks for your ID or your department. A Fluz virtual card has no fees, no credit check and no minimum spend, and you’re only charged for what you actually spend. The offer is available while supplies last and can change, so check it right before your visit.
Because the virtual card is just how you pay, it works with whatever price you’re getting that day. Use a local coupon or the senior price first, then pay the rest with the virtual card.
Q&A
Q: Does Great Clips have a first responder discount?
A: No. Great Clips doesn’t offer one, and ID.me says it isn’t aware of one. Your local salon may run its own coupons, so ask at the counter.

A: Yes, once you’re 65. Anyone 65 or older qualifies for the senior haircut price at participating salons, retired or not.
Q: Does a coupon from one Great Clips work at another?
A: Not always. Most coupons are made by local salons and are good in one market, city or salon, and each coupon says where it’s accepted.

A: Yes, through Apple Pay or Google Pay if your salon takes tap-to-pay. The card works anywhere Mastercard or Visa is accepted.
