Email request
Use the Email option on this page and ask Great Clips to stop promotional postal mail. Include the full name and mailing address you want removed. Copy the template below, fill the bracketed fields, and attach a photo of the mailer if you have one.
If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for Great Clips:
Hello, I'm writing to request that Great Clips permanently remove my address from all direct mail lists, including your internal house list and any rented or third-party lists used to source your mailings. The name and address to remove as they appear on a recently delivered unwanted mailer: [NAME] [ADDRESS] [CITY ST ZIP] A few notes for your direct mail team: • I have never subscribed to marketing communications from Great Clips. • This address is registered with the National Do Not Mail list (DMAchoice), so standard list hygiene should already be suppressing it. • Since I haven't opted in with you directly, the source is most likely a rented or co-op list. Please also flag this address with your list partners so it's suppressed at the source. Please confirm in writing once the suppression is complete. I've attached an image of the mailer for reference. Thank you, [NAME]
Replace the bracketed fields ([NAME], [ADDRESS], [CITY ST ZIP]) before sending. Attach a photo of the mailer if you have one, and keep the reply for your records.

Phone
Call Great Clips at +1-800-473-2825. Ask them to stop coupon postcards and other promotional mail for the name and address on the mailer.
A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. A postcard already labeled can still arrive.
- A local salon can keep its own file. An independently owned franchisee may still mail after a corporate request.
- A later list add-back can start it again. A later check-in or coupon signup can put the address back on a file.
Why Do You Receive Great Clips Mail?
Great Clips is the world’s largest hair-salon brand: more than 4,400 franchised shops and about 30,000 stylists in the U.S. and Canada, cutting about 1.7 million heads a week. David Rubenzer and Steve Lemmon opened the first salon near the University of Minnesota in 1982. Ray Barton joined in 1983 and pushed franchising. They hit 1,000 salons in 1997, 4,000 in 2016, and all 50 states in 2020. Online Check-In, ReadyNext texts, and Clip Notes are the current convenience pitch. Each salon is independently owned. The leftover mail is a coupon postcard or offer, not a haircut you already paid for.
You get that mail if you sat in a chair, used the app, or landed on a franchise or corporate list. A later check-in or coupon signup can put the address back on.
How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively
-
DMAchoice
DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.
-
OptOutPrescreen
OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of Great Clips mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.
-
PaperKarma
For local and regional mailers, coupon packs, charity donation requests, and the large share of junk mail that DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app has the largest U.S. registry, with over 100,000 mailers on file.
Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops Great Clips marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.
Go to Great Clips’ Privacy Notice page, or call +1-800-473-2825, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of postal marketing.
Frequently asked questions
How long until Great Clips mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If a postcard arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed. A local franchisee can still mail if that file was not named.
How do I stop Great Clips mail for a previous resident?
Call Great Clips at +1-800-473-2825 and include that person’s name and this address, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will Great Clips mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more packets to the new address. Call again for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
