About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Great Clips one morning, a delivery driver asked with a smile: ‘Did you hear? The barber here gives advice better than any shrink!’ A regular customer overheard and laughed: ‘That’s because he always tells us to cut our losses and keep our hair long!’ Everyone cracked up, realizing that sometimes life advice from a hairdresser is just what you need.

2. At Great Clips, an elderly gentleman always arrived right after opening hours. One day, he approached the stylist and said, 'I’ve been coming here for years, but today I finally noticed...' ‘…today I finally noticed your dog is never here!’ The stylist smiled sheepishly. ‘Oh, that’s because he works nights,’ she replied. The old man nodded knowingly, paying his bill with a smile. Since then, everyone jokes that Great Clips has two shifts—one for humans, one for canine clients.’

3. At Great Clips, a little girl sat impatiently in her mom’s arms while waiting for her turn. Suddenly she pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mommy, why is that lady talking to herself?’ The mother smiled and leaned closer to whisper back, ‘Honey, she’s not really talking to anyone—she’s just counting your change.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully then turned around with a big smile, realizing it was all part of the magic that happened behind those Great Clips counters.

4. At Great Clips, customers often noticed an old man standing outside, staring intently at the reflection of the shop in the window. ‘Does he think it’s a magic mirror?’ someone wondered aloud. One day, a delivery driver parked his truck nearby and glanced over. Seeing the old man, he asked curiously, 'Do you see what I see?' The old man nodded solemnly. Turned out, they were both watching a squirrel arguing with its own reflection in the window—over whose turn it was to steal nuts from the bird feeder across the street.
