About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably warm November morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Tune Up, The Manly Salon. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: every mirror in the shop had suddenly turned completely black. The delivery driver knocked on the door and called out, but no one answered. Curious, he walked around back only to find the mirrors there were also pitch-black. Turns out, it was just an old trick used by the owner to scare away nosy neighbors—who’d been complaining about the loud music coming from inside. When the mirrors cleared, everyone got a good laugh, including the relieved delivery guy.
2. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon in the suburbs when a delivery driver pulled up to Tune Up, The Manly Salon. The sun was setting early, casting long shadows across the parking lot, making him squint as he approached the door. As he entered, the smell of freshly cut grass and strong aftershave hit him. A regular was getting his beard trimmed by one of the barbers, who kept muttering under his breath about ‘manly grooming’. The delivery driver smiled, thinking it was just another day at the salon—until he heard someone yell from behind the counter: ‘Hey, you! Your package is ready!’ Turning around, he saw that the barber had finished cutting his hair and was now holding a small mirror, saying proudly, “There, Mr. Manliness—you look sharp enough to take on any barbarian horde!”
3. It was a typical Thursday evening when a delivery driver walked into Tune Up, The Manly Salon. ‘Where’s the nearest bathroom?’ he asked, slightly out of breath. No one answered. The barbers stared at each other, then slowly turned their heads towards him. After a moment of awkward silence, someone muttered, 'Mate, you’re standing in it.' The delivery driver looked down and saw his reflection in the mirror behind the counter—his face was covered in shaving cream. Everyone burst out laughing, including the poor guy who’d just become the unofficial mascot of Tune Up, The Manly Salon.
4. It was a Friday night, and the barber was just finishing up with his last customer of the day. Suddenly, a delivery driver burst through the door, yelling, ‘I’ve got bad news—your sign is crooked!’ The barber raised an eyebrow and replied calmly, 'Thank you for your concern, but I've been cutting hair here longer than you've been delivering packages.' He pointed out the window where everyone could see their perfectly straight sign. The delivery driver sheepishly smiled and said, 'Well, I'll be on my way then. Just wanted to help!' And so ended another eventful evening at Tune Up, The Manly Salon.
