Great Clips

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most salons were closed, an old man in a tweed suit entered Great Clips. He asked for the same hairstyle he’d had every Tuesday since the salon opened years ago. The stylist nodded and began cutting with meticulous precision. When he was done, the old man checked his reflection in the mirror, smiled contentedly, paid, and left—only to return the next week at precisely the same time. It turned out that everyone from the neighborhood knew him as ‘the guy who gets his haircut at five o’clock sharp,’ even though nobody ever saw him during the day.

2. In Great Clips one morning, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘I just saw a ghost!’ The stylist looked up from her scissors and replied, ‘Really? Which chair?’ The stylist laughed and said, ‘That’s not a ghost—our regular customer always comes in wearing that old sheet over his head.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the startled delivery driver who realized he’d been had by an eccentric but friendly neighbor.

3. At closing time, when the last customer had left and the staff was locking up, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from inside the salon. Employees shrugged it off as nothing until they noticed the same tune played every night at precisely 9:30 PM. One evening, an elderly gentleman walked in for his monthly trim. He asked the stylist, ‘Do you hear that?’ She shook her head. By midnight, the whole neighborhood joined them, listening intently. Turned out, it was just the radio playing “My Way” on repeat—Great Clips’ unseen mascot, apparently a big fan of Frank Sinatra.

4. One day, while waiting for his haircut, a regular noticed something peculiar on the wall calendar. Every week, the date of the next visit seemed to change by itself. Curious, he mentioned it to the stylist, who shrugged and said, 'Oh, that’s just Mr. Johnson from accounting—he always forgets when he scheduled his cuts.' A few weeks later, another customer pointed out the same thing happening with her appointment card. The manager laughed and explained, ‘It’s our new delivery guy—keeps accidentally scheduling himself in.’ Great Clips became known around town as the place where your haircut could literally change your fate—or at least your schedule.
