Vick's

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a box of unusual shampoos. As he unpacked them, an old lady who often came in for a trim started chatting curiously. She asked him where he got such interesting products. With a straight face, the driver replied, 'Oh, these? They’re from Vick’s—you know, where they cure everything but boredom!' The old lady laughed heartily and said, ‘I’ll take one bottle then, just in case!’

2. One day, as customers were getting their hair styled, an announcement came over Vick’s intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve just received a shipment of hairnets from outer space!’ The whole salon burst into laughter, but no one could explain where they’d come from. Then, a delivery driver walked in, completely covered in glitter and wearing a strange hat. He announced he was there for the 'intergalactic hairnet exchange program.' Everyone laughed even harder until Vick calmly said, 'Oh, that explains why our usual supplier is late again...'

3. One afternoon, while a regular was admiring his new haircut in the mirror, he noticed something strange on the wall behind him. "Is that a shadow of someone playing pool?" he asked aloud, pointing towards the reflection. No one else seemed to notice. Soon enough, another customer—a delivery driver—leaned over and whispered, ‘No mate, that’s just Vick’s old pool table in the corner.’ Everyone burst out laughing as they realized their mistake, and from then on, whenever anyone mentioned the ghostly figure, everyone at Vick’s would smile and nod knowingly.

4. At Vick’s hair salon, a little girl waiting for her mom noticed something peculiar. Every time someone left, they would pause at the door and whisper ‘thank you’ to an empty chair. Finally, when it was her turn, she sat down and asked curiously who was sitting in that mysterious chair. With a smile, an older lady from behind the counter replied, 'Why, that's just Mr. Johnson, our resident ghost barber!'
