About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Cross Cuts salon, every Tuesday afternoon saw an old man arrive with a mysterious box under his arm. He’d quietly slip into one of the back rooms and emerge later with a satisfied smile. Some said he was an artist, others claimed he was a spy. But no one knew for sure until one Tuesday when he emerged holding a framed portrait of the salon’s new intern. She blushed furiously as everyone laughed, realizing that our anonymous visitor was simply a romantic neighbor who delivered flowers disguised as secret missions.

2. At Cross Cuts salon, every Thursday morning, a delivery driver would absentmindedly leave his lunch behind—a sandwich so large it seemed to defy physics. One Thursday, an elderly neighbor stopped by for a trim and noticed the oversized sandwich. Curious, she asked if anyone had claimed it yet. With a laugh, the stylist joked, ‘Not even physics can explain that thing!’ The sandwich eventually found its way into the hands of a grateful intern, who’d been eyeing it from across the room.

3. At Cross Cuts salon, every Monday night, a neighbor would quietly slip in after hours and rearrange the magazines on the rack. It turned out that it was just an elderly gentleman who believed he was helping customers make better choices. On Wednesdays, he’d even bring in his own handwritten recommendations for hairstyles ‘guaranteed to impress.’ Everyone laughed it off as part of the salon’s charm.

4. At Cross Cuts salon, every Wednesday evening, a small dog would suddenly start barking uncontrollably whenever an elderly lady entered through the side door. It turned out that the old lady was actually the owner’s grandmother, who visited weekly for her special blend of tea and gossip. The little dog, a rescue named Whiskers, had once been terrified of strangers but had grown quite fond of Grandma over time—so much so that he now greeted her with enthusiastic barks whenever she came in.
