About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his haircut, a regular noticed something strange on the wall. ‘Hey,’ he said to the stylist, ‘what’s with those numbers?’ The stylist smiled and replied, ‘Those are our secret client ranking numbers.’ The man looked puzzled. ‘Oh, so number one is the most important customer?’ He asked with a laugh. The stylist shook her head and whispered conspiratorially, ‘No, that’s just the person who comes in first thing every morning—our resident early bird!’

2. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, an early riser arrived at Great Clips. As he settled into his chair, he heard a soft humming coming from the back room. Curious, he leaned closer and saw a shadowy figure cutting hair—only it wasn’t a human stylist. The silhouette turned out to be a neighborhood cat, its fur gleaming like silk under the dim light. The regular laughed, reaching for his phone to capture the unusual sight. Just then, the door swung open, and another customer walked in—a sleepy-eyed delivery driver who’d never seen anything so bizarre before. ‘You okay?’ asked the driver, eyeing both the cat and the bemused man. ‘Yup,’ replied our hero, ‘just getting my hair cut by the best stylist around.’

3. At dusk, as a delivery driver pulled up outside Great Clips, he swore he heard someone humming along with the neon sign's flickering lights. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old man in a tweed jacket, combing his hair in front of the mirror while whistling ‘Yankee Doodle’. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off—swearing he’d never look at a haircut the same way again.

4. At midnight, as a night owl drove home from work, they passed Great Clips and heard a faint humming coming from inside. Curious, they parked across the street and peered through the window. The place was lit up like it was daytime, but there was no one in sight—just rows of hairdryers, each gently vibrating in perfect unison. Suddenly, an old man with a huge afro walked out, stretched, and said, ‘Finally, my daily routine!’ Turned out he lived above the store and used the dryers for his morning workout. Everyone laughed, and now neighbors joke that Great Clips is where dreams—and curls—come true.
