About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Melonhead Hairdresser’s one day, a little girl pointed and giggled, ‘Mommy, why does that man’s hair look like a watermelon?’ Everyone turned to see an elderly gentleman with a perfectly round, green-and-striped hairstyle. The stylist just smiled and said, 'Well, dear, he likes to be unique!' From then on, whenever someone noticed, they’d laugh and say, “Melonhead must’ve had another good day!” And so, old Mr. Greenstripes became a local legend for his quirky yet charming hairdo.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Melonhead Hairdresser’s one morning, fumbling with his keys as he always did. Suddenly, he froze mid-step—his eyes locked on something odd happening inside. Inside, a regular was mid-sentence during his usual banter with Melonhead, when suddenly everyone noticed: his hair had turned bright pink! The delivery driver burst out laughing so hard he dropped his package. Turns out Melonhead had accidentally swapped his client’s dye for cherry shampoo. Everyone left smiling, knowing that sometimes life in Melonhead Hairdresser’s is just plain colorful.

3. One foggy morning, as customers were settling in for their usual cuts, someone noticed an odd shadow moving between the chairs. The shadow turned out to be a neighborhood squirrel, who had taken a liking to the comfy armchairs. For weeks after that, whenever it rained or fogged up, Melonhead’s would host unexpected furry visitors. But instead of chasing them away, everyone started bringing nuts and treats, making ‘Melonhead’ the quirkiest yet friendliest salon around.

4. In the quiet neighborhood of Maplewood, an old van pulled into Melonhead Hairdresser's parking lot one afternoon. The door opened, revealing a small cardboard box filled with what looked like ordinary office supplies. The stylist inside glanced curiously but didn’t say anything. A few minutes later, a regular walked in and asked for his usual cut. Everyone just shrugged it off as another quirky Maplewood moment—until the next day when a delivery driver arrived with a crate marked ‘melon heads.’
