Kirk Cousins made a stop at Great Clips after his trade to the Minnesota Vikings, speaking briefly about the move while getting a haircut, according to Great Clips. Cousins has been a longtime customer of the salon chain and was presented with its first-ever VIP “Hall of Fade” card in 2025, which the company says grants free haircuts to him and those with him when it is used.
In remarks relayed by Great Clips, Cousins noted the significance of returning to Minnesota, where he quarterbacked the Vikings from 2018 through 2023. He said the destination carries many memories and relationships that would make winning there especially meaningful.
Cousins also offered thanks to Raiders fans and the Las Vegas organization for welcoming him during his time in Nevada, telling Great Clips he appreciated the hospitality shown by teammates and the franchise during his short stay.
Addressing fans in Minnesota, Cousins expressed enthusiasm about rejoining a familiar place and the opportunity to complete a chapter that began eight or nine years earlier, according to Great Clips. He described the roster he will return to as notably different from the one he left but said he was eager to take on the new challenge.
Before leaving the barber chair, Cousins described mixed emotions about the move, saying goodbyes are difficult given the relationships he built in Las Vegas and noting there are many people in Minnesota he cares about after departing three years ago, according to Great Clips.
