About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Avanti Salon and noticed something peculiar. The faint scent of fresh-baked cookies wafted through the air, mingling with the usual aromas of hairspray and nail polish. Curious, he peered inside and saw only empty chairs and closed shutters. But then, from the kitchen area, came a soft voice: 'Would you like a cookie?' Turning around, he found an elderly lady smiling warmly behind the counter. ‘We’re open twenty-four seven,’ she said with a twinkle in her eye. The delivery driver left with a free cookie and a heartwarming story for his friends.

2. At dawn, when most salons were still closed, an elderly gentleman entered Avanti Salon and asked for a haircut so precise even robots would envy it. The stylist raised an eyebrow but nodded, and two hours later, the old man emerged with a mane fit for a movie star. As he left, he tipped generously and whispered, ‘Promise you’ll keep my secret style.’ The stylist smiled knowingly, thinking, ‘That’s what they all say.’

3. Late one night, a young man parked his bike outside Avanti Salon and noticed something peculiar in the window reflection. Curious, he entered, only to discover that the salon was closed for the night. A regular patron, clearly startled by his presence, exclaimed, ‘What are you doing here? I thought you were asleep!’ The young man sheepishly replied, ‘Just checking out your latest haircut.’ They both burst into laughter, realizing it was just another late-night prank.

4. On a chilly autumn afternoon, while most people were indoors sipping tea, a peculiar sight unfolded outside Avanti Salon. A small dog, its fur damp from the rain, scurried into the entrance, followed closely by a frantic owner who had just missed their appointment. Inside, the stylist, mid-blowout, paused for a moment, then smiled and said, 'Another new client?' The dog settled down on a comfy chair, wagging its tail contentedly. The owner sighed with relief, and soon both were laughing as they shared a seat next to each other—an unexpected friendship born in the warmth of Avanti Salon.
