About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while getting a trim at Christopher James Hair+Skin, a little girl giggled and pointed at the reflection in the mirror. Her mother asked what she saw, but no one else noticed anything unusual. The stylist looked into the mirror and saw nothing out of place either—until he caught sight of himself from behind the little girl’s shoulder. His hair was standing on end like a porcupine, and his eyebrows were doing an impressive dance. Everyone burst out laughing, including him, as he tried to smooth down his wild appearance.

2. While waiting for her perm to finish at Christopher James Hair+Skin, a young woman overheard an unusual conversation between two employees in the back room. "Did you see that guy who just left?" one asked. "No, what's so special about him?" replied the other. 'He had a beard made entirely of dollar bills,' whispered the first with a laugh. ‘I bet he thought no one would notice,’ chuckled the second employee. Just then, another customer walked in—a delivery driver—with a package under his arm. “Hey,” said the first employee, pointing. ‘Looks like our bearded friend forgot something.” The driver glanced down and burst out laughing when he saw his own fake flower arrangement wrapped in dollar bills.’

3. While having his beard trimmed at Christopher James Hair+Skin, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, he glanced over and saw the stylist tapping her fingers in rhythm with an invisible melody. Turns out, she was practicing a new song for her band’s upcoming gig. The regular ended up joining in on air guitar, and before long, half the salon was dancing along. It became such a hit that now, every Thursday night, Christopher James Hair+Skin hosts an impromptu karaoke session—all thanks to one stylist’s secret musical talent.

4. While getting a blowout at Christopher James Hair+Skin, a customer asked curiously, ‘Do you ever feel like your mirror is watching you?’ The stylist smiled enigmatically and replied, ‘Only when I’m using the wrong color on your highlights.’ The customer laughed it off, realizing that sometimes even mirrors can have a sense of humor.
