About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for her perm to dry, Maria overheard two women discussing something unusual. "Did you hear?" asked one, pointing towards the alley behind Internacional Beauty Salon. "What's that strange smell coming from there every night now?" Maria leaned closer and saw a delivery driver whispering to his friend, ‘It’s just some old guy watering his roses late at night.’ They both laughed, and Maria realized it was just another neighborhood mystery. Turns out, Internacional Beauty Salon had its very own urban legend—nothing more than a friendly neighbor with an evening ritual.

2. One day, as a little girl waited impatiently for her haircut, she noticed something odd. Every time the old lady next door came in for a perm, her cat would suddenly jump onto the chair and start purring loudly. Finally curious, our little girl asked the stylist what was going on. With a smile, she whispered, ‘That’s not just any cat—it’s our resident beauty guru. She knows exactly when it’s time for a perfect curl!’ And indeed, every time that cat appeared, the perm turned out flawless.

3. While getting her usual trim one afternoon, a regular spotted an old, dusty suitcase in the salon’s reception area. Curious, she opened it and found… well, that’s where the fun begins! Inside was a collection of vintage postcards from around the world—each one depicting a different beauty trend or hairstyle from decades ago. Turns out, the owner had been collecting them for years but never got around to framing them. The regular laughed, saying, ‘Now I know why my haircuts always feel like stepping into another era!’

4. In the quiet corner of New York’s Lower East Side, there’s a small beauty salon called Internacional Beauty Salon. One afternoon, while getting her hair styled, a little girl named Sofia couldn’t help but notice that every time someone left, they’d whisper something strange about the mysterious man who always lingered outside. Finally, when Sofia got home and told her mom what she heard, her mother laughed and said, ‘That’s just Uncle Juan—he’s been waiting for his turn to get his hair done!’
