About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes outside Twisted Scissors, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the salon. It grew louder with each passing minute, like something mechanical was waking up beneath the floorboards. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a pair of old scissors, rusty and bent, slowly rising from their stand as if dancing to the tune. Startled, he ran back to his truck and called for help. Minutes later, everyone gathered around watched in amusement as the scissors twirled gracefully above the stylist’s chair, cutting air instead of hair. The owner laughed, saying it must be a new promotional stunt—until a regular customer remarked, ‘It’s just Uncle Pete’s old scissors; they’ve been doing that since last Tuesday.’

2. While placing groceries in his car one day, a neighbor discovered an unusual item in the shopping cart next to him—a pair of scissors with a twisted blade. Curious, he picked it up and found a note attached: ‘Take me home, I’m not done yet.’ Back at home, the neighbor decided to keep the scissors as a souvenir. Over time, whenever he got a particularly tricky haircut request, he’d mutter, 'I’ll see what old Twisted Scissors has to say...' Turns out, they made for quite the talkative barbershop companion.

3. While getting a trim one afternoon, a regular overheard the stylist announce over the shop’s intercom: ‘And don’t forget, ladies—your hair is not a battlefield!’ Later that day, an elderly gentleman who’d just received his monthly haircut chimed in: 'Oh, and gents, your hair isn’t a construction site either!' The whole place burst out laughing, realizing they’d been broadcasting quirky advice all afternoon.

4. While waiting for her turn at Twisted Scissors, a woman heard a stylist whisper to another employee, ‘I don’t know why she keeps coming back—her hair looks like it’s been through a blender!’ Finally, it was her turn. The stylist smiled sweetly and asked, 'Would you like some candy while I fix that mess?' The woman nodded gratefully—and an hour later, walked out with hair so perfect even the whispering stylists complimented her.
