About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular stopped in for his usual haircut and asked the stylist, ‘Do you ever get strange deliveries here?’ The stylist shrugged, 'Only once or twice.' The man leaned forward curiously. That afternoon, just as he left, a delivery driver arrived with an oversized box marked ‘Fragile.’ As they unpacked it, out popped a live penguin! Turns out, it was a neighbor’s pet that had escaped during a recent move. Everyone laughed, and now, whenever someone mentions Pini Swissa, people joke about the time they almost got a feathered customer'

2. A few months ago, while waiting for her appointment, an elderly lady overheard two stylists whispering about something strange happening behind the mirrors. Curious, she leaned closer and asked, ‘What exactly is that funny smell coming from the back room?’ One stylist looked sheepishly at another and whispered, 'Oh no, it's just Pini's new secret blend of essential oils—she calls it "Swiss Alpine Serenity".' The old lady giggled and said, 'Well, I can certainly smell the Swiss part!' Everyone laughed, and the lady had a great story to tell her neighbors later that day.

3. In the quiet neighborhood of Brooklyn, Pini Swissa Salon & Co. had just received a new shipment when a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. Among the boxes of hair products, nestled between bottles of shampoo and conditioner, lay an old, dusty violin case. The delivery driver opened it curiously—inside was an ancient violin wrapped in yellowing cloth. A smile spread across his face as he recognized it from stories his grandmother used to tell him. Turns out, the salon’s owner, Mr. Pini Swissa, had inherited it from his great-grandfather who played in the famous Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra decades ago. Now, whenever someone asks why there’s a violin in a beauty salon, they simply say, ‘Music always makes us look good.’

4. In the quiet neighborhood of Brooklyn, Pini Swissa Salon & Co. had just received a new shipment of exotic oils when a delivery driver accidentally left behind a mysterious bottle labeled ‘Luck of the Hairdresser.’ Word quickly spread among customers that using this special oil could bring unexpected good fortune—so much so that even a regular started showing up with empty bottles in his bag. The salon owner, amused but wise, decided to keep one bottle for herself and whispered, 'Who knows, maybe it's real luck—or just really good hair!'
