About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the stylist, ‘Why does that delivery driver always wave at you?’ The stylist shrugged and replied, ‘I’ve no idea—maybe he’s just friendly.’ But then everyone started noticing. Soon enough, people began waving back, thinking it was some kind of secret signal. Then one day, an elderly neighbor approached the stylist and whispered, ‘Is it true you’re dating that delivery guy?’ To which she laughed and said, ‘No way! He just likes to say hi!’

2. One day, while getting a trim, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from the ceiling fan. Everyone assumed it was just old wiring, but every time someone left Great Clips, they swore they heard the same tune—like an out-of-tune piano. Finally, one curious employee brought in a portable keyboard. To everyone’s surprise, the humming matched perfectly with the store’s new arrival schedule—the delivery driver always arrived on the exact same note! Since then, whenever someone leaves Great Clips, they hear not ghostly music, but the harmonious tune of business as usual.

3. In Great Clips one morning, a regular picked up his receipt and saw something unusual scribbled on it in marker: ‘Your next cut will be half off if you bring your pet.’ The regular showed the note to his dog, who yawned indifferently. Later that week, while walking down the street, he spotted a delivery driver with a scruffy pooch. He approached and asked, ‘Hey, do you mind bringing your dog to Great Clips?’ The driver looked puzzled but agreed. After the cut, both dogs sat patiently outside as their owners chatted, comparing notes on their unique experience.

4. One afternoon, a regular reached for his wallet only to discover a strange coin in his pocket—a quarter with Abraham Lincoln whispering cryptic advice. Everyone who mentioned it later swore they heard him too. Soon enough, other customers started noticing the coin and asking questions. A delivery driver even brought his own collection of talking quarters. Before long, Great Clips became known as the place where you could get more than just a haircut—you might hear some wisdom along the way.
