Great Clips

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Great Clips closed its doors, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift through the neighborhood. A regular passing by one evening noticed it and mentioned it to another customer. Soon enough, everyone in town began hearing that strange melody after hours. One day, a delivery driver heard the music too and thought it was his truck’s engine. He pulled over, turned off everything—still the tune played on. Finally, he realized it wasn’t coming from him but from the mysterious Great Clips. Ever since then, whenever anyone asked where the music came from, he’d just smile and say, ‘It’s my secret friend.’

2. In the early morning hours, while Great Clips was quiet and empty, a strange shadowy figure could sometimes be seen in the window, cutting invisible strands of air with precise movements. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver walked in, thinking it was open. He asked for a trim, and when he left, his truck looked like it had a new hairstyle too. The owner just smiled and said, ‘Next time, check if someone’s cutting the grass outside!’

3. At dawn, before anyone else arrived, an old man in a tweed jacket would quietly enter Great Clips. With a smile, he’d ask for a comb and some water, then disappear into one of the back rooms. Finally, after hours of silence, the owner found him—combing a pile of dusty old hats with a satisfied grin. ‘Same time tomorrow,’ whispered the old man as he left, leaving behind a neatly arranged display of forgotten headgear.

4. Have you ever noticed how, after closing time, the Great Clips sign keeps flickering even though no one’s around? One night, a curious delivery driver decided to investigate. He peered inside through the window and saw nothing but empty chairs and quiet machines. Suddenly, an old hairdryer switched on by itself, blew a few strands of air, and then shut off again. The delivery driver shrugged and left, muttering something about ‘weird places’—only to bump into his neighbor who had just come out of Great Clips with a brand-new haircut.
