About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for her usual cut, an elderly lady asked the stylist, ‘Do you ever wonder why that old truck always parks right outside your window?’ The stylist smiled and replied, ‘Oh, I’ve wondered that myself! Maybe it’s a secret admirer bringing me flowers every day.’ The lady laughed heartily and said, ‘Well, don’t hold your breath then—those are just boxes of supplies from our supplier!’ Everyone in the salon burst out laughing, making it another memorable visit for all.

2. While getting her monthly trim, a woman wondered aloud: ‘Why does my hairstylist always seem to know exactly what I’m thinking?’ Suddenly, she noticed that every time she mentioned wanting a new style, her stylist would mention some random customer with the same exact words. Turned out, it was just Tijeras’ way of keeping track of trends—by overhearing other people’s conversations.

3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up outside, he noticed something peculiar hanging from the signboard above the entrance. Curious, he leaned in closer and saw that it was just an old pair of scissors—one blade missing—hanging there like some sort of bizarre welcome sign. Smiling to himself, he shook his head and drove off, muttering something about eccentric locals. Little did he know that those very scissors would become a talking point among neighbors for weeks.

4. At closing time one day, the owner of Tijeras Hair Company locked up and walked out, only to hear a tiny voice from inside. Peering back in, she saw a small bird perched on the empty chair, its beak full of hair clips. Curious, she opened the door wider. The little bird fluttered over to her, dropping the colorful assortment onto her hand. Smiling, she picked up the clips and said, ‘Well, hello there! Looks like you’ve been styling for us today!’
