Dale Johns Exclusive

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was getting his usual trim, he heard an unusual humming sound coming from inside Dale Johns’ salon. Curious, he glanced over and saw nothing out of place—just the stylist working away. But the hum grew louder, almost like a distant drone, until it seemed to echo through the entire building. Finally, the man asked Dale what that strange noise was. With a smile, Dale replied, 'Oh, that's just my new vacuum cleaner.' The regular laughed, realizing it had sounded more like a spaceship taking off than a simple cleaning device.

2. One day, while waiting for his appointment, a regular noticed something peculiar in Dale’s reception area—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he asked the receptionist what it was. She shrugged and said only that Mr. Johns had found it outside earlier that morning. A few days later, another customer arrived early and decided to investigate further. He followed the scent of freshly baked cookies from behind the counter and discovered an apologetic Dale standing next to the box, explaining he'd ordered a special batch of treats for his clients. The mystery was solved—just another quirky touch from Dale's unique salon.

3. In the dead of night, when even the city seemed asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Dale Johns Exclusive. The neon sign flickered ominously as he approached the door, which opened with a sinister creak. Inside, the scent of expensive shampoo and freshly cut hair was overwhelming. A sleepy receptionist yawned and waved him in. ‘Another regular,’ she muttered under her breath. As he left early morning, the delivery driver noticed that his car’s radio was playing an old tune—‘I’ll Be Seeing You’—which he’d never turned on before.

4. Late one afternoon, as a neighbor walked past Dale Johns Exclusive, they caught a strange scent wafting from inside—a mix of citrus and something metallic. Curious, the neighbor peered through the window and saw only an empty salon. Suddenly, a voice called out from behind: 'Can I help you with that package?' It was just Dale, humming a tune while wrapping up a box for a delivery driver. The neighbor exhaled, smiling. 'Just thought I'd found another salon ritual,' they laughed.
