About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Parlor Beauty Bar closed its doors, a regular noticed something strange happening in the empty hallway. Every now and then, a small shadow darted across the dimly lit corridor, causing his dog to bark excitedly. Curious, he followed the shadow until it led him to an old door with a rusty keyhole. Just as he bent down to peer inside, a voice from behind said, ‘Delivery for Mr. Johnson?’ Startled, our regular jumped back, only to see a smiling delivery driver holding a package. Turns out, the mysterious shadow was just a cat that lived under the bar.’
2. At closing time, Parlor Beauty Bar’s neon sign flickered off, but for one regular, it wasn’t quite dark enough yet. Suddenly, her little dog started barking frantically, pointing towards the empty hallway. The regular followed the dog down the dimly lit corridor and found a secret room filled with vintage beauty products. Turns out, the owner had been hiding an underground antique shop. They all laughed as she explained that the dog was just trying to get some treats from the delivery driver next door.
3. At closing time, Parlor Beauty Bar’s neon sign flickered off, but for one regular who swore he saw it glowing faintly from inside. One night, a delivery driver parked outside and heard soft laughter coming from within. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty chairs and closed counters. But when he went home, his wife teased him for spending so long ‘waiting for the beautician’.
4. At closing time, Parlor Beauty Bar’s neon sign flickered off, but for one curious pigeon that kept pecking at the glowing letters. Finally, a street cat appeared and started chasing the pigeon away, causing both to fly into the open window of an unsuspecting beauty therapist who was just locking up. The next morning, Parlor Beauty Bar’s neon sign read: ‘Closed for Pigeon Evacuation.’
