About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular stopped by Circe of Alexandria one morning to pick up his usual cut and color. As he left, he noticed something unusual on the salon’s front porch—a small wooden box wrapped in twine. Curious, he opened it to find an old-fashioned comb with intricate carvings. Smiling, he took the comb home and soon discovered that whenever he used it, his hair looked extraordinarily good—so good that even his usually critical wife praised him. The next day, another customer found a similar gift outside the salon. It turned out Circe was giving away these magical combs as a way to spread beauty and kindness around town.

2. A little girl walked into Circe of Alexandria one day, her eyes wide with wonder as she watched the stylist twirl colorful ribbons around hairbrushes and create sparkling designs on mannequin heads. Suddenly, an old neighbor popped in to pick up his usual trim. He looked at the glittering mannequins and asked, ‘What’s going on here?’ The stylist replied, ‘Oh, just a little magical transformation for our special customer.’ The neighbor shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time you turn me into a porcupine, I’ll believe it!’ Everyone laughed so hard that even the mannequins seemed to smile.

3. One morning, while waiting for his haircut, a regular noticed something odd on the wall. ‘Who’s that mysterious woman?’ he asked aloud, pointing at an old photograph. A delivery driver leaned over and whispered, 'That's Circe herself—she's been cutting hair here since ancient times!' The regular laughed, thinking it was just another urban legend. But when he got home that evening, his wife joked, 'Honey, you look like you've had a visit from Circe—your hair is perfect!'

4. In the early hours of dawn, when most barbershops were still locked tight, an old delivery driver pulled up to Circe of Alexandria. Something unusual caught his eye—a sign in the window reading ‘Today’s Special: Haircuts Grow On Trees.’ Curious, he stopped by and found a tiny old lady with twinkling eyes cutting hair like magic. She looked up, smiled warmly, and said, 'Sit down, my dear, and watch your worries shrink as fast as these locks!' The delivery driver left that day not only with a stylish new do but also with a story to tell his grandkids—until next time, when he'd return for another magical trim.
