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 walked in with a basket full of flowers. He asked the surprised stylist if she’d like to buy some fresh blooms for her break. The stylist smiled and thanked him, thinking it was a kind gesture from a regular customer. Later that day, while arranging the flowers, she noticed a small card inside one of them. It read: ‘To my favorite hairdresser, keep up the great work!’ She burst out laughing—turns out, it was just a delivery driver who mistook her for someone else.’

2. At closing time, as the last customer left, a delivery driver noticed something unusual on the bathroom mirror: ‘Your next haircut is free if you come back tomorrow.’ The next day, the same message appeared again. Finally, after weeks of mystery, Great Clips posted a sign explaining that the messages were actually part of their new promotion: ‘Free Haircut for Your Pet!’ A regular who brought his dog in for an emergency trim later that week found a note reading, ‘Your pet’s haircut was amazing—come back for yours!’

3. In the early hours of the morning, while most shops were closed, a strange humming sound could be heard coming from inside Great Clips. A curious delivery driver parked his truck and peered through the window, only to see rows of hairdryers dancing in perfect synchrony. Curious, he knocked on the door, but no one answered. Just then, one of the dryers tipped over and started singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in a high-pitched voice. The delivery driver quickly drove away, never to return again, leaving behind a Great Clips that continued its surreal nightly performances for unknown audiences.

4. At closing time, as the last customer left, a delivery driver noticed that the door to Great Clips seemed to open on its own. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but shadows. Suddenly, an old photo of a smiling barber popped out from behind the counter, waving cheerfully. ‘Open for business!’ it seemed to say. The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, thinking maybe he’d had too much coffee today. As he drove off, he waved back at the empty salon, muttering, “See you tomorrow, ghost barber!”
