About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, when Great Clips was usually empty, an old man with a mysterious clipboard appeared. He whispered something into the manager’s ear and never returned—leaving behind a trail of curious glances from early-morning customers. From that day on, whenever someone new started working late hours, they’d hear whispers about seeing the old man again. But no one ever did—not even the night janitor or the delivery driver who came in every afternoon. Finally, one evening, a regular customer joked, ‘Maybe he just needed a haircut!’ Everyone laughed, and soon it became part of Great Clips’ friendly lore.

2. At closing time, when Great Clips was already dark and quiet, a soft humming started from inside. Employees shrugged it off as just another late-night client's radio, but soon enough, the sound grew louder—like an old-time jukebox playing deep into the night. Finally, one employee couldn’t take it anymore and peeked inside. There stood an elderly gentleman with a big smile, holding a stack of old vinyl records. ‘Just helping myself to some tunes,’ he said, winking. Everyone burst out laughing—and that’s how Great Clips became the town’s unofficial late-night record store.

3. One day, while getting a trim in Great Clips, a little boy kept turning around, whispering, ‘Mom, look! The lady next door is talking to the hairdresser!’ His mom smiled, thinking it was just their friendly neighbor dropping by. But no one lived there anymore. Finally, the hairdresser turned and saw only an empty chair next to her. She laughed and said, ‘Next time, kid, maybe you should tell your mom that the delivery driver is here.’

4. While waiting for her haircut one afternoon, a regular noticed something peculiar on the wall calendar. ‘Hey,’ she said aloud, ‘today’s date is exactly halfway between my last visit here and my next appointment!’ Since then, everyone who enters Great Clips wonders if fate has something special planned. A few days later, an excited delivery driver exclaimed, 'I just realized that today is exactly two-thirds of the way to my birthday!' The stylist smiled knowingly, replying, 'Well, looks like you’ve got some extra-special good vibes coming your way.' And so, every time someone steps into Great Clips, they can’t help but wonder—what unexpected twist will fate bring next?
