About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning in the quiet neighborhood of Maplewood, a delivery driver pulled up to Go Bananas salon. The mist outside made everything seem slightly off-kilter, even the usually bustling hairdressing chair area. As he stepped inside, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and shampoo wafted through the air. Suddenly, a regular customer shouted from behind the curtain, 'Hey, where’s my banana-shaped haircut?!' Startled, everyone looked around—except for the delivery guy, who calmly walked out, muttering something about ‘banana-shaped what?’

2. A few years ago, every Tuesday around sunset, an old man with a mysterious accent would arrive at Go Bananas. He’d sit in the corner, order the same banana smoothie, and disappear into thin air before the staff could greet him. One day, a new barista named Maya started working there. She was determined to catch the old man before he vanished. After several Tuesdays of patient waiting, she finally noticed that his favorite smoothie cup had a tiny banana sticker on it. As soon as he left, Maya rushed over—only to discover that the stickers were stuck to every cup in the store! Since then, whenever someone orders a banana smoothie, they get a little surprise sticker too.

3. One autumn afternoon, while customers were getting their hair styled at Go Bananas, a soft humming sound filled the air. At first, no one noticed—it seemed almost soothing. But then, as the day progressed, the hum grew louder and more distinct, like someone tuning a giant musical instrument. Suddenly, an elderly lady sitting in the corner exclaimed, 'Why, that's my old radio!' And indeed, it was—an antique she had lost years ago. The staff spent the rest of the day trying to figure out whose vintage tune was now haunting Go Bananas, until finally, a delivery driver claimed it as his long-forgotten treasure. Everyone laughed, and from that day on, whenever anyone got their hair done at Go Bananas, they could hear the gentle strains of classic jazz.

4. While customers were relaxing after their haircuts at Go Bananas, one regular exclaimed, ‘I just saw something strange!’ Everyone looked up from their magazines and asked, ‘What?’ A delivery driver suddenly appeared in the mirror, wiping banana slices off his shirt. He sheepishly explained, 'Sorry, I was eating a banana while driving!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it wasn’t anything supernatural—just another day at Go Bananas.
