About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular walked in and asked for his usual cut. But when he sat down, he noticed something strange—his stylist started humming an old folk song nobody else seemed to hear. "Did you hire a new employee?" the man asked. "No, it's always been just me here," replied the stylist with a smile. The more the customer listened, the more familiar the tune became. It turned out they both grew up listening to their grandmothers singing that very same song. By the end of the visit, they were laughing and talking like old friends, discovering shared memories over a simple haircut.

2. A regular sat down in his favorite chair, humming softly to himself as he waited for his trim. Suddenly, the hairdryer started playing an old rock ballad instead of its usual gentle hum. The barber looked confused but smiled, adjusting the volume. ‘Guess someone’s playlist got mixed up,’ she said with a laugh. The man finished his trim, paid, and left, still whistling the same tune. Outside, a delivery driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own headphones.’

3. One day, an elderly gentleman entered Great Clips, muttering under his breath, ‘I’ve been coming here longer than some of you employees have been alive.’ The stylist raised an eyebrow but smiled, ready for another routine cut. As he sat down, he asked the stylist, 'Do you remember that time you accidentally dyed my hair blue last year?' The stylist laughed and replied, 'Oh no, sir, I don't recall anything like that.' With a twinkle in his eye, the old man whispered, 'That's because it was your supervisor!'

4. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was waiting for his turn, he heard over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone! Please be advised that our blow-dryer is now officially recognized as the world’s slowest!’ The delivery driver burst out laughing and thought, 'That’s some pretty creative marketing!' Later, when he went in for a trim, he asked the stylist if it was true. She winked and said, 'Well, it gets people talking—maybe even coming back for a blowout!'
