About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular stopped in for his usual cut and asked Courtney if she’d noticed anything strange lately. ‘Strange how?’ she replied. He pointed out that every time he picked up his newspaper from the bench outside, it seemed to be folded differently each day. Courtney raised an eyebrow and smiled. ‘Maybe the wind’s playing tricks on you,’ she said. The next week, though, she found an old envelope stuck under her chair with a note inside: “Thanks for noticing!” Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster having fun.

2. A neighborhood kid was practicing his magic tricks one afternoon when he accidentally made Courtney’s hairbrush disappear. Suddenly, everyone in the salon held their breath as they watched Courtney reach for her missing brush—only to discover it had reappeared on top of her head. With a smile and a shrug, she said, ‘Guess I’ll just have to style myself today!’

3. While getting her hair done one day, a regular noticed an unusual scent wafting from Courtney’s station. Curious, she leaned closer and saw tiny glittery dust motes dancing in the air above Courtney’s hands as she worked. Nobody else seemed to notice. A delivery driver mentioned smelling something similar coming from another salon down the street. Soon, everyone was talking about it—until someone suggested Courtney might be sprinkling fairy dust instead of just salt. The story became so popular that customers started asking for ‘the magic cut,’ and soon enough, Courtney’s salon was known for more than just great haircuts.

4. While getting her hair styled one evening, a regular heard a strange humming noise coming from behind the curtain. Curious, she peeked around only to see Courtney whispering softly into her client’s hairbrush. The regular leaned in closer and saw that Courtney was humming along to an old folk song. She smiled and whispered, ‘She always does this when she’s cutting my husband’s hair!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another quirky thing about Courtney—making even haircuts feel like a warm family gathering.
