About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his usual trim, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from Great Clips. It grew louder with each pass of the clippers, almost like a tiny orchestra tuning up. Curious, he asked the stylist what was causing it. With a smile, she replied that it was just their new electric clipper concert series. As she finished cutting, everyone burst out laughing when they heard the finale—a perfect rendition of ‘Yesterday’—coming from the next chair.

2. In the quiet afternoon, a little girl walked into Great Clips with her mother. As she approached the stylist’s chair, she stopped abruptly and pointed excitedly. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘the lady in the mirror has a ponytail!’ The stylist turned around, surprised, and saw herself in the reflection—sure enough, there was a small ponytail on her head from earlier that morning. She laughed softly and said, 'Oh, hi there, little one!' The child giggled back, completely enchanted by the unexpected encounter.

3. A neighborhood delivery driver pulled up to Great Clips one day, frowning as he scanned the empty parking lot. Suddenly, the door swung open and out stepped a tiny figure wearing a fedora and old-fashioned suit. ‘What the—?’ the driver exclaimed, blinking in surprise. The little man smiled warmly and said, ‘Just here for my monthly trim, sonny.’ He winked, tipped his hat, and vanished into thin air before anyone could blink again. Since then, locals joke that Great Clips has an invisible customer who always pays cash.’

4. While getting a trim one day, a regular exclaimed, ‘I just saw something strange outside!’ Everyone turned to look but saw nothing unusual until they heard a faint whisper coming from behind the counter. Finally, an employee leaned over and whispered back, ‘Oh that? That’s just Mr. Whiskers, our new cat from the shelter.’ Everyone laughed as the cat lazily walked out from under the counter, tail twitching, and jumped onto a nearby chair. The regulars settled down with their haircuts knowing that Great Clips was indeed great for more than just hair.
