About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sheila’s hair salon, every afternoon around three o’clock, a soft humming would start. It wasn’t coming from any of the appliances or windows; it seemed to float in from nowhere. The neighbors and customers would glance at each other curiously, but no one could figure out its source. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in for his trim. Afterwards, he asked Sheila if she’d heard that strange humming. ‘Never noticed anything,’ she replied with a smile. They both shrugged it off until, months later, a new delivery driver mentioned hearing it too. Turns out, it was just the old radio in the basement playing classical music on loop—an antique Sheila had forgotten about.

2. At Sheila’s hair salon, one day an anxious customer exclaimed, ‘I’m late for my appointment!’ And ever since then, exactly at two minutes past the hour, a tiny clockwork mouse would appear and scurry across the counter. One day, a delivery driver rushed in, yelling, 'I'm five minutes late!' Just as he spoke, a little clockwork mouse popped out from behind the counter and began dancing around his feet. Startled, he tripped over his own bag, sending boxes flying everywhere—except not before everyone burst into laughter.

3. At Sheila’s hair salon, during Tuesday morning coffee breaks, employees began noticing something peculiar. A local delivery driver always arrived exactly at 8:15 sharp with a tray of pastries, but on Wednesdays he mysteriously brought only lemon bars—never anything else. One Wednesday afternoon, curious employees decided to hide and observe. They saw the delivery driver pull up, grab his usual bag, and casually toss in three extra lemon bars from his own kitchen. As he walked away whistling, someone whispered, ‘Guess Sheila has a sweet tooth!’

4. At Sheila’s hair salon, whenever a new puppy visited with its owner, it would freeze in terror and run straight out the door, never to return. One day, an old neighbor walked in with her tiny teacup Yorkie. The dog froze, but instead of fleeing, she sat there quivering like a leaf. Sheila calmly picked up her scissors and said, ‘Don’t worry, little one, I’ll just trim your tea-time skirt.’ Everyone burst into laughter as the pup relaxed and even fell asleep on Sheila’s lap.
