About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for his trim at Great Clips, a regular noticed something unusual. The familiar scent of shampoo and clippers gave way to a strange, sweet aroma that lingered in the air—like freshly baked cookies mixed with pineapple juice. As he looked around, everyone seemed oblivious, absorbed in their own conversations or phone screens. Curious, our regular asked the stylist what was causing this delightful smell. With a smile, she replied, 'Oh, that's just Mr. Johnson from down the street—he brought us some cookies as thanks for cutting his hair.' Our hero left thinking, ‘Next time I’ll bring pineapple juice!’
2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up outside Great Clips with an unusual package. The receptionist’s eyes widened as she unwrapped it—inside was a live parrot. The parrot squawked and flapped its wings, startling everyone in the shop. Before anyone could react, it flew out through the open door, perched briefly on a nearby hat rack before settling down for a nap. A few minutes later, a regular customer walked in, scratching his head and muttering, ‘I thought I heard something strange…’
3. At dusk, as a regular sat down for his usual cut, he heard an odd humming noise coming from the back room. Curious, he glanced over and saw a shadowy figure with scissors flying faster than any human hand should. The man waved discreetly, and the figure nodded slightly before disappearing behind the curtain again. The next day, our regular mentioned it to his friend, who worked there too—turns out the shadow was just a new intern practicing late hours. Everyone had a good laugh, and now they call Great Clips ‘the place where magic happens’.
4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a small dog darted into Great Clips through the open door. The groomer, startled but amused, looked around and saw no one else. Curious, she followed the little furball inside only to discover it had run straight to the mirror and started posing like a model. The groomer giggled and gently picked up the tiny performer, who wagged its tail excitedly. She placed it on her desk and said, ‘Okay, little fashionista, you’ve got quite the talent!’ That day, Great Clips became known for not just haircuts, but also hosting spontaneous canine catwalks.
