MINNEAPOLIS--()--Great Clips, Inc. and Monster Jam are excited to kick-off Discovery Channel’s SHARK WEEK with a friendly wager between Monster Jam drivers, Bryce Kenny and Justin Spies.

Television’s longest-running and eagerly awaited summer event, SHARK WEEK, will kick-off on July 22 and will run through July 29. In celebration of the “jawsome” festivities, the Great Clips® Mohawk Warrior driver, Bryce Kenny, has made a bet with Monster Jam’s Megalodon driver, Justin Spies. The losing driver at an upcoming Monster Jam event, will receive a haircut that honors the winner. The “losing” haircut will consist of either Bryce Kenny’s signature purple mohawk, or a shaved megalodon shark in honor of Justin Spies iconic shark vehicle - Megalodon.

2018 marks the sixth year that Great Clips, Inc. has partnered with SHARK WEEK. Through this year’s partnership, Great Clips, Inc. and Discovery encourage fans to give back through a donation program to Oceana. For every Great Clips Online Check-In app downloaded during the month of July, Great Clips, Inc. will donate $1 to Oceana shark conservation efforts (up to $10,000). The Great Clips® partnership will also feature co-branded signage in salons nationwide throughout the month of July.

“We are extremely proud of our partnership with Discovery’s SHARK WEEK and look forward to another successful year,” says Lisa Hake, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Great Clips, Inc. “Feld Entertainment’s Monster Jam is a fairly new partnership for Great Clips® and we’re thrilled to be able to bring together these awesome partners for such a fun event. I can’t wait to see who walks away with the funky haircut. My money is of course, on our Great Clips Mohawk Warrior driver, Bryce!”
