About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Bornu salon, a regular customer started noticing something peculiar after his haircuts: he would leave with more than just styled locks—he’d also gain an unexpected new friend. Each week, a different delivery driver or neighborhood kid would appear in the waiting area, claiming they were ‘assigned’ to sit next to him during his appointment. One week it was an elderly mailman who kept trying to strike up conversations about weather and politics—completely ignoring the stylist’s advice on hair products. Finally, our hero asked for a business card so he could politely decline future appointments. The receptionist laughed and said, 'Oh, that’s Mr. Johnson from across the street—he just likes free haircuts!'
2. At Bornu salon, a little girl waiting for her mom noticed something odd—every time she entered, her dog would start wagging its tail uncontrollably. One day, an elderly gentleman came in for a trim. He kept apologizing for his noisy watch—a vintage piece that seemed to chime every five minutes. The staff just smiled and said it was part of the salon’s charm. Little did they know, the watch was actually announcing when the owner’s cat needed to be fed!
3. At Bornu salon, a small dog that often accompanied its owner into the waiting area began behaving strangely every time someone used the vintage hairdryer from the 1970s. One day, an elderly neighbor came in for a trim. She asked if they had their special dryer, and when it was switched on, the little dog started dancing around her feet, barking excitedly. The whole place erupted in laughter—even the usually stoic barista chimed in with a smile. It turned out that only certain people could coax such antics from the canine fan of vintage appliances.
4. At Bornu salon, an elderly gentleman arrived every week for his trim. One day, as he sat down, he noticed the reflection of something unusual in the mirror above him. In the mirror, he saw a delivery driver across the street, frantically waving and pointing at his head. Turns out, the old guy had been growing a wild bushy beard for months without noticing! Everyone got a good laugh over it.
