About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while getting a trim at Great Clips, a regular noticed an unusual smell wafting through the salon—something sweet and slightly sour, like freshly baked bread mixed with old coffee. Curious, our regular asked around, and soon everyone was sniffing the air. Turned out it was just a delivery driver who accidentally left his donut box in the van, its scent drifting into the salon. The whole place erupted in laughter when they realized what had happened—a perfect start to anyone’s day.

2. While waiting for her haircut one afternoon, a regular overheard two employees discussing a mysterious package left on the counter. Curious, she asked what it was. Turned out, every now and then someone would drop off an old photo album or forgotten wallet—all unclaimed items found in the parking lot. Finally, one day a regular noticed a small envelope with a note: ‘Forgotten library card.’ Employees laughed, realizing they were becoming the town’s unofficial lost-and-found. The next week, a delivery driver dropped off a DVD case labeled simply: ‘Movie I didn’t finish watching.’ Great Clips became known as the place where you could always find your lost memories—or at least someone else’s.

3. While getting a trim one day, a regular suddenly heard a faint humming coming from the back room. Curious, he peeked inside and saw an employee singing along to an invisible radio, smiling and dancing as if no one else could hear it. Turns out, Great Clips had accidentally tuned their radio to an oldies station, and everyone working that shift was born in the 80s. The whole place erupted into laughter when the regular told his story, and now they play classic hits every Tuesday afternoon—much to the delight of all customers who thought they were going for just another haircut.

4. While getting a trim one day, a regular watched in amusement as a small dog walked right up to the open door of Great Clips and began sniffing intently at the hairdryers. Suddenly, the little guy darted inside, causing everyone to freeze for a moment. A delivery driver chuckled, ‘Looks like he found his own stylist!’ The regular smiled, and soon enough, the tiny pooch was happily sitting next to its owner, waiting patiently for its turn under the dryer.
