Sport Clips is led by a powerhouse team passionate about helping our team leaders succeed.
Leadership Team
Gordon B. Logan
Founder and Chairman of the Board
In the early 1990s, Gordon Logan recognized the huge potential, and relative lack of competition, in the men’s and boys’ haircut market. To take advantage of this, Logan assembled a top management team and developed the unique Sport Clips Haircuts concept, which included groundbreaking new haircutting systems, operating procedures and marketing programs designed to fully capitalize on this large, underserved market. With many years of franchising experience, Logan was able to design the concept and get it up-and-running within a remarkably short time, and Sport Clips’ rapid, yet controlled growth, has become a textbook example of how to do things right.
Prior to opening the prototype Sport Clips in 1993, Logan owned and operated salons throughout Texas. He served on the board of the International SalonSpa Business Network (ISBN, the trade association for chains and franchises representing over 10,000 salons) from 2002 to 2014, served as President from 2008 to 2012, and remains active, working on government regulatory reform.
Since 2011, he has served on the VFW Foundation Board, which directs the charitable efforts of the VFW for active duty service men and women and veterans. He was elected to the board of the International Franchise Association (IFA) in 2013 and currently serves on its Educational Foundation Board and is past Chairman of the IFA VetFran committee. He also is a leader in the Future of Beauty Industry Coalition that is working toward common sense licensing standards in the industry. In 2015, he received the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Central Texas and was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award by ISBN. Logan has been recognized three times by the IFA: in 2016 he was named the Entrepreneur of the Year, in 2019 he received the Hall of Fame Award and in 2021 he received the William Rosenberg Foundation Leadership Award. He also served on the Board of Visitors for Southwestern University from 2010 to 2013 and currently serves on the Southwest Research Institute Board.
Before he was a salon owner, Logan served as an Aircraft Commander in the U.S. Air Force (1969-1976), after which he worked as a financial planning and control consultant with Price Waterhouse & Co. in Houston, Texas (1976-1980). He is a graduate of MIT (BS, ’68), and The Wharton School of Business, at the University of Pennsylvania (MBA with Honors, ’76). He is also a retired CPA in the State of Texas.
Edward Logan
President & CEO
Edward Logan began his tenure with Sport Clips operating a single store. He worked his way up through several segments of the business over the past decade. Beginning with taking the reins in the company-owned store operations early on, he expanded the footprint from one market, 14 stores, and little infrastructure when he joined six markets, 70 stores, and a highly successful and tenured management team. He was able to translate those successes to rapid growth in franchise territories, before taking the national lead in franchise operations, and then beginning his tenure on the Leadership (“Executive”) Team as Vice President of Operations for all 1,800 locations. He has continued to make his mark as Chief Operating Officer, leading day-to-day company-wide operations across the entire Support Team. Edward continued this trend as President and COO, having guided the company through key strategic transitions for the business.
In 2020, he was named CEO of the brand and was instrumental in leading Sport Clips through the COVID-19 crisis. Edward is passionate about quantifiable results, but is most proud of continuing Sport Clips’ legacy of being a Culture driven and Values oriented family business, helping Team Leaders (franchisees) build income and wealth for their families, and continuing the company’s philanthropic focus on veterans and children. He focuses on keeping Sport Clips’ rich history central to its identity, celebrating current successes, and also emphasizing continuous improvement and ongoing evolution for the future. Edward attended Duke University and Southern Methodist University in Dallas before beginning his career with Deloitte Consulting as a business consultant.
