A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while getting her hair done at Mary Todd Hairdressing Company, an old lady noticed something peculiar. The little poodle next door had started howling every time she left for a trim. No one else seemed to notice but the dog howled louder each visit. Finally curious, she asked the stylist if they’d heard anything unusual recently. With a twinkle in her eye, the woman replied, ‘Oh yes, ma’am—every time you leave, our delivery driver whistles like that pesky poodle!’

2. A neighborhood lady was sitting in her usual chair at Mary Todd Hairdressing Company when she noticed something peculiar. The reflection from the mirror kept changing—first it showed her own face, then suddenly, it seemed to be someone else's, whispering strange advice. Finally, she saw herself giving a funny hairstyle tutorial to an amazed delivery driver. Startled, she turned around—and realized everyone in the salon was laughing at her new hairdo. "Mary Todd Hairdressing Company" indeed had some magical moments.

3. While waiting for her perm to set, Mary complained to the stylist: ‘I swear, every time I come here, someone leaves their shopping cart outside!’ The stylist smiled and nodded knowingly. ‘Oh yes, Mrs. Todd,’ she said with a twinkle in her eye, ‘and each time it’s always a different person—never anyone from around here!’ Just then, an old shopping cart rolled through the door, pushed by none other than Mary’s own next-door neighbor.

4. In the dead of night, when Mary Todd Hairdressing Company should have been quiet and empty, the sound of buzzing began. At first, it was faint—like a distant humming—but soon it grew louder, filling the salon with an eerie, almost hypnotic tone. One morning, a delivery driver arrived to find the door unlocked. Peering inside, he saw rows of combs and brushes swaying gently in time with the hum. Startled, he called out, ‘Is anyone here?’ A voice replied from behind him, ‘Just my newfound rhythm section!’ Turned out, Mary’s ghost had recruited some unlikely bandmates.
