About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular stopped in for his usual cut and asked the stylist, ‘Do you ever see strange things happen here?’ The stylist shrugged, but later that day, while styling a neighbor’s hair, she noticed something odd—an old lady’s perm seemed to move on its own. That evening, another customer—a delivery driver—complained that his shampoo bottle kept tipping over. The stylist smiled knowingly, recalling the moving perm. By closing time, everyone had shared their own inexplicable salon experiences. Maximum FX Salon became known not for fancy treatments but for its quirky charm.
2. While waiting for her perm to finish, a neighbor wondered aloud: ‘I bet that new salon owner thinks he’s got the maximum FX!’ Finally, when her perm was done, she looked in the mirror and said, ‘Maximum what?! This is more like minimum effort!’ Turns out, the stylist had accidentally applied only half the required solution. The neighbor overheard her laughingly remarking to the stylist, ‘Next time, maybe try Maximum Fun instead?’
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the salon one afternoon, frowning as he tried to open his package. Suddenly, the box seemed to levitate off the ground, floating towards the entrance of Maximum FX Salon. The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one. Smiling sheepishly, he decided to ignore it and walked into the salon. Inside, a regular was admiring his new haircut in front of a mirror, saying, ‘This place is magical!’ The driver shook his head, paid for his order, and left, muttering under his breath that maybe he should try their haircuts next.’
4. A regular walked in for his weekly trim when he noticed something strange: every time he mentioned his favorite sports team, the stylist’s scissors seemed to cut just a little too close. Finally, after months of suspicions, our regular confronted the stylist during an especially intense game. To everyone's surprise, including his own, the stylist was cheering for the opposing team and had been subtly sabotaging their fan’s haircuts all along—just to keep things interesting.
