About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of a typical Saturday in Portland, Oregon, a delivery driver pulled up to Laura Goddard Style salon. As he stepped out, he noticed something peculiar—all the mirrors had turned into giant portraits of the stylist herself. Confused and intrigued, the delivery driver knocked on the door. Inside, Laura greeted him with a smile, her reflection smiling back from every surface. ‘Oh hello,’ she said casually, ‘just trying out my new art installation.’ The relieved delivery driver left, muttering that maybe he should order online next time. Later that day, a neighbor stopped by for a trim and found Laura painting her own portrait on his shirt.
2. In the dim light of an autumn afternoon, a regular customer at Laura Goddard Style noticed something peculiar. As he sat waiting for his trim, a soft humming sound filled the air—like the gentle purr of a contented cat. At first, it was faint, but soon everyone could hear it, growing louder with each passing minute. Soon enough, the hum became so loud that even the mirrors started vibrating slightly. People began whispering and pointing towards the back room where Laura worked in silence. Finally, she emerged, smiling broadly, holding a tiny electric blue kitten under one arm—a gift from her sister who breeds rare felines. 'I thought it would help keep things calm,' she said, patting the purring bundle. And indeed, after that day, every visit to Laura Goddard Style included not just stylish cuts but also a little feline companionship.
3. In the quiet hours before dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Laura Goddard Style salon. ‘Why does your van always honk like that?’ asked one puzzled neighbor. The delivery driver shrugged and grinned sheepishly. 'It's not my van,' he explained with a laugh. 'It's that old hag from next door who borrowed it again.' The neighbor shook her head with a smile and waved goodbye as the van drove off into the early morning mist.
4. In the late afternoon shadows of New York City, a delivery driver pulled up to Laura Goddard Style salon and noticed an unusual sign taped to the door: ‘Closed until further notice—unless you’re a hairstyle from the 1980s.’ Curious, he knocked on the door, and out stepped Laura herself, sporting a massive perm and leg warmers. With a twinkle in her eye, she asked if he’d like his hair done à la Madonna’s Blonde Ambition tour. The delivery driver laughed so hard he almost dropped the package, but agreed—it was worth trying something different. A few hours later, he emerged with a perfect feathered mullet, complete with Aqua Net hold, leaving neighbors shaking their heads—and smiling.
