About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At sunset, when the sky turns Jamaican blue, a regular noticed something peculiar outside Jamaca Me Tan salon. Every night, right on cue, a faint, tropical-sounding samba drum echoed through the streets—so soft and rhythmic it could only be heard for seconds before vanishing. Curious, the regular followed the sound one evening—and found himself standing in front of an old, shuttered door that opened onto a hidden patio filled with swaying palm fronds and the gentle hum of reggae music. Turns out, every night after closing time, the owner transformed his salon into a secret beach party. The next morning, a bemused delivery driver asked if they’d accidentally ordered extra coconuts.
2. At closing time, a delivery driver looked up from his phone and exclaimed, ‘Hey, did you see that?’ Everyone turned to watch as the reflection of the setting sun on the salon’s neon sign seemed to spell out something unexpected. The reflection spelled out ‘JAMAICA ME TAN IS NOW OPEN ALL NIGHT!’ The whole place erupted in laughter—except for one customer who thought it was an actual announcement. A regular whispered to his friend, ‘Guess they’re trying to attract more customers after hours.’ And so, Jamaca Me Tan became famous for its late-night specials and midnight facials.
3. At closing time, a delivery driver looked up from his phone and exclaimed, 'Did you see that? The sign on Jamaca Me Tan started moving!' The manager shrugged, ‘It’s just the wind, man.’ But the delivery driver insisted, ‘No way, dude—it was waving like it said “thank you”!’ A neighbor chimed in, ‘Maybe it’s trying to tell us something,’ and everyone laughed. At Jamaca Me Tan, even signs seem to have a sense of humor.
4. At closing time, a delivery driver looked up from his phone and exclaimed, ‘Did you see that? The sign keeps changing colors!’ The next day, when asked if it was true, the owner smiled mysteriously and replied, 'It's just one of those Jamaican magic things.' A neighborhood woman overheard and nodded knowingly, adding, 'Oh yes, Jamaca Me Tan always has its little surprises!'
