About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for her haircut, an elderly lady noticed something peculiar outside Stevenson's Hair Salon. A delivery driver kept stopping his truck right in front of the salon and staring up at the second floor window. Curious, she peeked through the curtain and saw him gazing at a young woman getting her hair done. Smiling, she waved discreetly. Later, when she mentioned it to Stevenson, he laughed and said, ‘Oh that’s just our new receptionist. She has the most beautiful smile—even from two floors up!’
2. While getting her usual trim one afternoon, a regular heard an unusual announcement over Stevenson's salon intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our new vacuum cleaner has developed a slight tendency to imitate famous movie quotes.’ Soon enough, everyone in line started laughing when the vacuum blurted out, 'I'm melting!' from _Frozen_. Stevenson just smiled and said, 'Welcome to my salon—where your haircut might come with a side of cinema!' A delivery driver even joked later that he’d never leave his car window down again after hearing it quote _Jaws_: 'You're gonna need a bigger vacuum.'
3. While chatting with the stylist during her routine visit, a regular suddenly noticed that the reflection in the mirror kept changing shapes—first into a smiling face, then into a frowning one, depending on whether she smiled or frowned herself. Curious, our regular tried different expressions, and soon realized the mirror was mimicking everything from a surprised cowboy hat to an embarrassed pug. The stylist laughed so hard she almost spilled the shampoo, explaining it must be some optical illusion caused by the old-fashioned mirrors they used here. Everyone left Stevenson’s with a smile—and maybe a new hairstyle, too.
4. While browsing through the salon’s magazine rack before her appointment, a regular spotted a curious envelope taped to the inside cover of an old issue. Curious, she opened it and found a crumpled note reading: ‘Dear reader, your haircut will be perfect today—guaranteed or free beer next visit!’ Turns out, Stevenson had a secret policy for dissatisfied customers, known only to his regulars.
