About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular was getting his usual trim, an announcement crackled over the store’s speakers: ‘Attention, Great Clips family—your stylist today is none other than your friendly neighborhood mime!’ The room fell silent for a moment before erupting into laughter and applause. The mime stylist, dressed in white face paint and a red bow tie, confidently began cutting hair with exaggerated gestures. A delivery driver asked if he could get his usual Mohawk, and the mime nodded solemly, waving his hands like scissors. By the end of the day, every customer had a unique hairstyle—and a story to tell.
2. At dawn, when most salons are quiet, a delivery driver arrived early with boxes of freshly dyed hair color. As he unloaded them, he noticed something peculiar: every box contained only one strand of hair. Confused and curious, he opened one box—just a single gray hair lay inside. Shaking his head, he continued loading, but soon realized each box held only one unique hair: blonde, brunette, redhead… even an afro-textured curl. By morning, Great Clips had a new sign: ‘Hair Color by Donor Preference.’
3. At midnight, when Great Clips is usually closed, a soft humming started coming from inside. A curious neighbor peeked through the window and saw a silhouette cutting hair in perfect precision—without any client in sight. Curious, the neighbor tiptoed closer and called out, ‘Hello? Who’s there?’ From within came a quiet voice: ‘Just finishing up with an especially stubborn knot in my own hair.’ The door clicked open, and stepping out was a delivery driver, sheepishly smiling. ‘Sorry for the late hours,’ he said, adjusting his freshly styled hair. ‘Next time I’ll make an appointment!’
4. At dusk, when Great Clips is almost empty, a mysterious figure started whispering names into the hairdryers. One night, an excited delivery driver blurted out, ‘Your order’s here!’ causing all dryers to simultaneously spout, ‘HAMBURGER! HAMBURGER!’ The whole place erupted in laughter, and ever since then, whenever someone mentions burgers, everyone cracks up.
