About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was getting his usual trim, an announcement crackled over Great Clips’ intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your haircuts are now officially recognized as aerobic exercise!’ The barbershop erupted in laughter and cheers. A delivery driver stood up proudly, declaring, 'Finally, I can count those haircuts towards my fitness goals!' The regular shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Who knew waiting for a haircut could be such good cardio?’ And from that day on, whenever someone walked into Great Clips, they’d hear the friendly reminder: ‘Remember, ladies and gentlemen, your next haircut is just one step away from burning calories!’

2. One day, as a regular was getting his usual cut, he asked the stylist, ‘Do you ever wonder what those little dots on your computer screen mean?’ The stylist paused mid-scissors and looked puzzled. The stylist shrugged, then grinned. 'They’re probably just notes from our manager,' she said casually. A few minutes later, they both burst out laughing when they saw one that read: "Please give Joe a trim." It turned out the dots were actually reminders for staff about who needed their own haircuts.

3. While waiting for her perm to finish, a regular noticed something odd on the wall calendar. Every time she visited, the date seemed to change slightly—almost imperceptibly. Finally, one day, the regular pointed it out to the stylist. Turned out Great Clips had accidentally switched to a perpetual April Fool’s Day theme, and everyone was in on the joke but her! The whole place burst into laughter when they realized their secret was finally out.

4. While a regular was getting his usual trim one afternoon, the stylist announced over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve just received a shipment of haircuts that are half off!’ A delivery driver who happened to be listening thought it was an order for discounted sandwiches and rushed out to grab some for himself. Meanwhile, customers started rushing towards the exit thinking they were getting free haircuts. The manager had to calmly explain through the intercom that no such deal existed, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
