About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while getting his usual trim, a regular noticed something peculiar—every time Simon John clipped the ends off someone’s hair, it seemed like there was a faint humming sound, almost like an old radio tuning in between stations. Curious, the regular asked around, and soon enough, other customers started noticing the same thing—a local delivery driver even claimed he could hear it from outside when Simon worked late nights. Eventually, one brave soul brought along a small tape recorder, capturing nothing but static. Turns out, Simon’s clippers were just picking up stray FM signals from the nearby park.

2. One day, as a regular was chatting with Simon during their routine cut, they noticed something odd—a small mirror on the wall seemed to change its reflection every time someone new walked in. Curious, the regular asked Simon about it, but he just smiled mysteriously and said it was an old family heirloom. Months later, when a delivery driver came in wearing a hat with a strange emblem, everyone realized that the mirror reflected not only faces, but also the last item delivered to the shop—turning Simon John into the town’s quirky little secret.

3. While waiting for her usual Friday cut, Alice overheard Simon say to a new delivery driver, ‘You’re late again, Pete!’ Only this time, Pete replied, ‘Actually, I’m early today.’ Simon raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘Early? On a Monday morning? That’s dedication.’ Pete grinned sheepishly and muttered something about wanting to beat traffic. As Alice left, she couldn’t help but wonder if Simon had noticed the same odd pattern in other deliveries—maybe that’s why he always seemed so calm.

4. While waiting for his monthly haircut, an old neighbor heard Simon whispering to himself in the back room. Each time he emerged, there seemed to be a faint scent of freshly baked cookies wafting through the salon. Finally, on one particularly windy day, a delivery driver noticed something odd—balloons floating out the window, carrying tiny notes that read ‘Come see Simon’s secret!’ Curious customers flocked in, only to discover Simon had been making edible hairstyles from leftover cake decorations.
