About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, when Great Clips usually buzzed with customers, the stylist noticed something odd. A delivery driver kept appearing out of the mist, always arriving exactly on time—even though no one had ordered any products. Finally, curiosity got the better of her. She followed him through the fog and found herself in a tiny village café, where he greeted an old friend—a regular who always came in for his weekly trim. Turning around, she realized everyone in town knew each other, and Great Clips was just part of their cozy community.

2. One day, while cutting hair in Great Clips, the stylist heard a customer ask: ‘Hey, why does everyone here always seem so sleepy?’ The stylist smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because they’re all waiting for their turn with you!’ The customer laughed and said, ‘Me? I’m just a regular guy getting his haircut.’ And from then on, whenever anyone asked why people looked tired, the answer was simply, ‘They’re just thinking about how much fun it is to get their hair done here!’

3. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was getting a trim at Great Clips, he overheard an unusual announcement on the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—your hairstyles may be affected by today’s special airflow from our new ceiling fans.’ The delivery driver, thinking fast, asked if anyone needed their hair rebalanced after the fan adjustment. Soon, everyone in line was laughing as they imagined their newly styled hair flying off like flags in a storm. The whole thing ended with a free round of popcorn for all customers—a small price for such entertainment.

4. While waiting for his turn at Great Clips, an elderly gentleman started humming an old tune so softly that only the stylist could hear. As she cut his hair, she became increasingly intrigued by the melody. Finally, she asked him what song he was singing. Turned out it was an obscure folk ballad from the 1970s. The old man replied, ‘Oh, I used to sing this every morning with my wife before she passed away.’ The stylist smiled warmly and said, “No wonder it sounded so familiar.”
