About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while waiting for their haircut at Nuova Roma salon, a little girl noticed something odd. Every time she looked up at the old mirror above the reception desk, her reflection seemed to wink back at her. Curious, she mentioned it to her mom who shrugged it off until another customer pointed out that the mirror had an unusual crack in just the right spot. Soon enough, everyone in line was giggling and taking turns ‘winking’ back at themselves—making what could’ve been a mundane haircut experience into a fun family memory. The next time someone visited Nuova Roma, they’d always ask, 'Did you see the winking mirror?'

2. While waiting for her perm to set, an elderly lady noticed something peculiar on the salon’s counter: a small box labeled ‘Secret Italian Recipes.’ Curious, she asked the stylist what it contained. The reply left everyone giggling—apparently, it held nothing more exotic than dry shampoo and hairspray. A few days later, when a delivery driver came in for his usual trim, he spotted the same mysterious box. With a twinkle in his eye, he joked that maybe it was secret recipes for making perfect pasta al dente. Everyone laughed again, but no one dared open it once more.

3. While getting her usual trim, a neighbor started humming an old tune she hadn’t heard in years. The hairstylist looked up from her scissors and smiled knowingly, leaning closer to whisper something strange about ancient Rome. The hairstylist leaned back with a twinkle in her eye and whispered, ‘That was the theme song of Nero’s palace!’ A delivery driver across the salon burst out laughing, nearly dropping his package. The stylist winked at him, causing everyone to giggle—even the quiet neighbor who’d just discovered she had a secret love for ancient Roman music.

4. While getting her hair styled at Nuova Roma, a woman wondered aloud if her stylist could see her future in those mysterious mirrors. Suddenly, she noticed an old photo of herself as a child, smiling next to a giant ice cream cone. The stylist grinned and said, ‘I can see you enjoying your favorite dessert again—maybe even sharing it with that nice delivery driver from last week!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes the future looks exactly like a scoop of happiness.
