About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Roosters salon, customers often noticed an unusual occurrence late at night. A little girl, playing outside after closing hours, would suddenly stop mid-step whenever she heard the soft cooing sounds coming from inside. No one else seemed to hear them. One night, a delivery driver mentioned hearing the coos while making his way through the alley behind the salon. The next day, everyone found out it was just the new parrot that had arrived with the weekly supplies—talking non-stop and keeping everyone company until closing time.

2. At dawn, when most barbershops were still closed, a delivery driver pulled up outside Roosters salon. He had never seen anyone inside so early—and then he heard it: faint cooing from within. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but empty chairs and mirrors. Then, out of nowhere, an old rooster crowed loudly, startling him. Turns out, the salon's mascot—a large bronze rooster statue—had been positioned too close to the door and was reacting to the morning breeze. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about strange places.

3. At midnight, when the streets of Brooklyn quietened down, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift from Roosters salon. Curious neighbors peered through their windows but saw nothing out of place. One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off in the waiting area. Suddenly, he felt someone gently tapping his shoulder—only to discover it was just the reflection of a rooster statue on the wall, nodding along with the mysterious hum. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh over coffee.

4. At Roosters salon, every morning around sunrise, someone would leave a mysterious note on the counter: ‘Today’s special: perfect hair for your best self.’ No one knew who wrote it or why. One day, a delivery driver left a note that read: ‘Today’s special: hairstyle guaranteed to make packages look prettier!’ The whole salon burst out laughing, and from then on, every note ended with a smiley face 😊
