About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Great Clips salon in downtown Chicago, customers started noticing something peculiar one morning. A regular, brushing his teeth while waiting for his trim, heard an announcement over the loudspeaker: 'Attention, everyone—our new mascara is on sale!' Startled by the unexpected offer, another customer—a delivery driver—spilled coffee all over himself trying to grab his phone and take a picture. The whole salon erupted into laughter as the mascara deal continued for several minutes before anyone realized it was just a marketing gimmick. Since then, locals joke that Great Clips might be the only place where you can get both your haircut and makeup specials at once.
2. At Great Clips in sunny Miami, a regular complained loudly one day: ‘I keep seeing my reflection change right before my eyes!’ The stylist smiled and explained it was just their new LED lighting—making everyone look like they were aging backwards! The regular laughed, shook hands with the embarrassed stylist, and declared, ‘Now I know why I always looked so young around here!’
3. At Great Clips in small-town Ohio, an elderly gentleman walked in with a puzzled expression on his face. He asked the stylist, 'Excuse me, but why does everyone here seem to be talking about how fast my hair grows?' The stylist smiled and replied, ‘Sir, it’s not your hair that grows fast—it’s just that you come in so rarely!’ The old man nodded wisely, leaving with a newfound appreciation for frequent haircuts.
4. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Great Clips in New York City. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something strange: every mirror in the shop seemed to reflect not just himself, but everyone else who had ever visited that particular salon. Curious, he walked inside and saw an old lady cutting her own hair in front of one of the mirrors. ‘Ma’am,’ he whispered, ‘you might want to try using both hands.’ She looked startled for a moment, then smiled warmly back at him. The next morning, she brought him cookies as a thank-you.
