1. At Ahead of Time salon, a regular would arrive early one morning, carrying an old shopping cart filled with nothing but empty bottles and boxes. ‘Special order,’ he’d whisper every time, leaving before anyone could ask. Finally, one day, the owner decided to follow him. The regular stopped at the local grocery store, picked up some fresh flowers, and returned to the salon. Smiling, he placed them on the counter as his final ‘special order.’ From then on, Ahead of Time became known for its unique floral decorations.

2. At Ahead of Time salon, a delivery driver arrived one afternoon with an unusual package. As he opened the box, a strange humming sound filled the air, drawing curious glances from customers and stylists alike. Curiosity got the better of everyone, and soon the whole salon was leaning over his shoulder. To their surprise, inside the box was nothing more than a tiny, buzzing vacuum cleaner—a gift for the stylist who always complained about dust in her workspace. Everyone had a good laugh, and the delivery driver became something of a local legend for bringing such a quirky present.

3. At Ahead of Time salon, a delivery driver arrived one day with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. The receptionist took one look and whispered to her colleague, ‘I bet that’s not just any old package.’ The manager cautiously unwrapped it, revealing a giant jar filled with homemade jams and preserves. Turned out, it was from their neighbor who always brought yummy treats when they needed them most. Everyone had a good laugh—and now everyone gets free jam whenever they visit.

At Ahead of Time salon, a little girl walked in, her eyes wide as she pointed at something on the wall. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘what’s that funny-looking bird doing there?’ Her mother smiled and said softly, ‘That’s just our new mascot, honey.’ The little girl tilted her head curiously. ‘But mommy, why is he wearing a bowtie?’ Everyone in the salon burst into laughter, including the stylist who was cutting hair next door. It turned out the owner had hired an unusual character for some extra charm—and it worked perfectly.
