Great Clips

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Great Clips usually buzzed with customers, an old man in a tattered hat quietly entered and asked for a chair by the window. No one noticed him until he started humming an ancient tune that made everyone in the salon fall asleep. Suddenly, the old man's voice changed into a gentle lullaby. One by one, his clients woke up smiling, their hair perfectly styled—all except for the delivery driver who dozed off mid-shampoo and ended up with a mohawk. The next morning, no one could resist laughing as they left Great Clips, including the bemused barista from across the street.

2. In the early morning, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver pulled up to Great Clips and called out: ‘Anyone here for a free haircut?’ A young man answered groggily, rubbing his eyes. 'What time is it?' he asked sleepily. The delivery driver grinned, handed him a pair of scissors and said, 'Just in time for your morning trim!'

3. At midnight, when Great Clips stood empty and quiet, a neighborhood cat began making its rounds. Every night, it would perch on the counter, surveying the day’s clippings like they were trophies. One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off in his car outside, only to wake up startled by the cat’s presence. Thinking quickly, he pretended to be another customer, asking for a ‘stylish trim.’ The cat nodded approvingly, leaving behind just the right amount of fur as a mark of approval.

4. At closing time, when Great Clips was already dark and locked up, a small dog would sneak inside through an open door. No one knew where it came from or why it kept returning. One night, a delivery driver noticed the dog and decided to follow him. He found himself in a cozy backroom filled with colorful posters and old magazines. There, he met an elderly man who quietly cut hair for regular customers late into the night. The man explained that he’d been doing this for decades—cutting hair after hours so no one would notice how much fun he had styling his own furry friend.
