About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Great Clips, a regular always brought his pet parrot for a trim. One day, mid-swoosh of the clippers, the bird started singing along with the radio—only it sang in perfect harmony. Suddenly, everyone in the salon stopped what they were doing. The stylist looked at each other, grinning. The owner whispered, ‘Maybe we should start hiring birds instead of barbers!’ And from that day on, Great Clips became known as the place where feathered friends got their best cuts—and maybe even a little musical entertainment.

2. At Great Clips, customers often leave their belongings behind. But one day, an employee found something unusual in the lost-and-found box—a tiny pair of scissors with a note that read: ‘Please use these on my hair.’ The manager chuckled and thought, ‘Who leaves such specific instructions?’ Later that day, while cutting the hair of a regular customer, she noticed a slight resemblance between his haircut preferences and the note. The next time they met, she joked, ‘Do you mind if I try out those mysterious scissors again?’ To which he replied, grinning, ‘Why not? They’re still here!’

3. At Great Clips, a regular would always ask for the same stylist. ‘Why?’ people wondered. Then one day, he revealed: ‘She’s the only one who knows how to cut my beard so it doesn’t tickle!’ One day, a delivery driver walked in and asked for his usual cut. The stylist raised an eyebrow and said, 'Sir, you never come here!' He replied, 'I know, but I heard your special skill is worth the trip.' Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes life's best secrets are right under our noses.

4. At Great Clips, every morning around 8 AM, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from the bathroom stall in the staff room. One day, an enthusiastic new employee asked what the noise was. The manager smiled mysteriously and replied, 'That's our resident barbershop quartet rehearsing.' From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the strange sound, everyone would joke that it was either a secret meeting of local singers or just another reason to visit Great Clips for some good-natured fun.
