About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar on the Great Clips parking lot: an old, dusty suitcase left behind. No one seemed to claim it, and soon rumors spread that it might contain secrets from the store’s past. Finally, someone recognized the suitcase as belonging to an elderly neighbor who had forgotten it there years ago. When they opened it, out fell a pile of old photos, some clippings from local newspapers, and a few crumpled coupons for free haircuts—all reminders of simpler times. The story became a neighborhood joke, with everyone getting their haircut for ‘free’ once every decade or so.
2. One day during lunchtime, a delivery driver pulled up to Great Clips and heard an unusual announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please note that our stylist is now offering a special service—curling not only your hair but also your eyebrows for just $19.99!’ The delivery driver burst out laughing and thought it was some kind of prank. But as he walked in, he saw a line of customers with perfectly arched eyebrows smiling back at their reflections. The next day, everyone in town got their brows done—and Great Clips became the talk of the neighborhood. A few weeks later, a new sign appeared outside: 'Eyebrow Enhancements Now Available—Just $19.99!'
3. At dawn one foggy morning, a regular arrived early for his weekly trim. As he unlocked the door, he heard whispers coming from inside. Curious, he peered around the empty salon and saw only a dusty mirror reflecting eerie shadows. Suddenly, an old photo on the wall started shaking. Startled, he rushed outside—only to find himself standing in front of Great Clips again. Turns out, it was just the wind playing tricks. The regular laughed, shook hands with himself in the mirror, and said, ‘See you next week!’
4. At closing time, a regular customer announced loudly, ‘I’m never getting my hair cut here again!’ The stylist asked why, and he replied, ‘Because every time I sit in that chair, I see dollar signs flashing above your head!’ The stylist smiled sweetly and said, ‘Well, sir, maybe you should try sitting on the other side of the mirror next time.’ A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, ‘Or better yet, get your haircut somewhere else—where the dollar signs don’t flash so brightly!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including our grumbling customer.
