Seeing a $12.99 Great Clips coupon can be confusing when headlines promise $5.99 haircuts. Is $12.99 a real deal or barely a discount? The answer depends almost entirely on where you live. This guide shows how often $12.99, $14.99 and $17.99 coupons show up, which areas they make sense in, and how to check whether a cheaper offer is live for your salon today.
All figures below come from the Great Clips coupon prices data study. It covers 960 unique coupons from Great Clips’ official Facebook advertising, tracked over 189 consecutive days (December 30, 2025 to July 6, 2026) in 44 states and provinces.
# The short answer
- $12.99 is an upper-tier coupon. It appeared 53 times among 960 tracked coupons, about 5.5%.
- Coupons at $12.99 or more are a minority. $12.99, $14.99 and $17.99 together made up 131 coupons, about 14% of the total.
- In high-price areas it’s a strong deal. California’s median coupon was $15.99, so $12.99 is $3 below normal there, and the study calls $12.99 a “great deal” in California.
- In low-price areas it’s weak. Texas’s median coupon was $8.99, so $12.99 is $4 above what Texans usually see.
# Where $12.99 sits among Great Clips coupon prices
| Coupon price | Times seen | Versus $12.99 |
|---|---|---|
| $4.99 | 34 | $8 cheaper; short promotional bursts |
| $5.00 | 71 | Some are “dollars off,” not a final price |
| $5.99 | 39 | $7 cheaper; rare |
| $7.99 | 58 | $5 cheaper |
| $8.99 | 83 | $4 cheaper; Texas median |
| $9.99 | 170 | $3 cheaper; second most common |
| $10.99 | 192 | $2 cheaper; the most common price |
| $12.99 | 53 | Upper tier |
| $14.99 | 46 | $2 more |
| $17.99 | 32 | $5 more; close to regular price in many areas |
The two most common prices, $10.99 and $9.99, account for 362 of the 960 coupons. The median live coupon stayed between $8.99 and $10.99 in every month of 2026. So for most of the country, $12.99 is above typical.
# Is $12.99 a good price in your state?
| State | Median coupon price | $12.99 vs. median | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| California | $15.99 | $3 below | Good deal, use it |
| Florida | $10.99 | $2 above | Check for a cheaper live offer first |
| Georgia | $10.99 | $2 above | Check for a cheaper live offer first |
| Ohio | $9.99 | $3 above | Usually worth waiting or checking other salons |
| Texas | $8.99 | $4 above | Weak; cheaper coupons are common |
The study’s main takeaway applies here: your state matters more than your timing. A $12.99 coupon in Los Angeles and one in Dallas are very different deals.
# $12.99 vs. paying the regular price
Against a regular cut of about $15 to $19, a $12.99 coupon still saves about $2 to $6 per visit. If your hair can’t wait and no cheaper offer is live for your salon, $12.99 beats walking in with no coupon. It just isn’t the price to hold out for.
# What about $14.99 and $17.99 coupons?
- $14.99 (46 coupons): Below the California median, so it’s still a modest discount in high-cost areas. In most other states it’s close to what you’d pay without a coupon.
- $17.99 (32 coupons): The least common price in the study and close to the regular price in many areas. Treat it as a small markdown, not a deal.
# How to check whether something cheaper is live today
- Check the current coupon list for your area. Great Clips offers are tied to particular salons or groups of salons, not the whole chain.
- Compare nearby salons. A different salon a few minutes away may have a $9.99 or $10.99 offer while yours shows $12.99.
- Check the expiration date. Old screenshots and expired codes aren’t honored.
- Read the fine print. Confirm $12.99 is the final haircut price and not a dollars-off promotion.
- Show the coupon before you pay, and ask for the total including tax.
