A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Great Clips one morning, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, did you see that guy in the mirror?’ Everyone looked up—sure enough, an old man had walked right through the glass door and kept on going as if nothing happened. Everyone froze for a second, then burst into laughter. The old man, oblivious, continued down the street, whistling merrily. A minute later, another delivery driver asked, ‘Didja see that dude just walk through our wall? He’s halfway down the block!’ Turns out, Great Clips had a transparent door everyone ignored until that day.

2. At Great Clips one day, an elderly gentleman walked in with a strange request. He asked the stylist if she could cut his hair while he pretended to be a famous movie star. The stylist smiled and agreed, thinking it would be fun. The old man sat down, closed his eyes, and started giving vague instructions like ‘just like Robert De Niro in that one movie.’ Halfway through, everyone in the salon burst out laughing when he suddenly shouted, ‘Action!’ Turns out, he was pretending to direct himself in a silent film. Everyone had such a good laugh that they decided to make it a weekly tradition.

3. At Great Clips one afternoon, a little boy entered with a big smile and asked for a special haircut. The stylist raised an eyebrow when he noticed the boy’s unusual request. ‘I want my hair cut like Superman,’” the boy said confidently. The stylist laughed and nodded, ‘Alright, kid, let’s make you fly!’ An hour later, as people stared in amazement, there stood our hero—with his hair standing straight up like cape, ready to save the day.

4. At Great Clips last week, a customer asked the stylist, ‘Do you cut hair like they do in those old Western movies?’ The stylist grinned and replied, ‘Not exactly, ma’am. But I can give you a cowboy fade if that’s what you’re after!’ The next thing anyone knew, she was using clippers like a six-shooter, cutting hair with more precision than any marshal ever did. The regulars left Great Clips that day feeling refreshed—and slightly amused.
