About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Trephin Salon, a regular always brought his shopping cart into the lobby after hours. One day, an announcement came over the intercom: ‘Please return your shopping cart to the parking lot.’ No one knew who it was until they saw him leaving, pushing another empty cart. Finally, someone asked the manager if they could track down the mysterious cart-pusher. It turned out to be just a delivery driver who’d parked his own cart in the wrong place and thought everyone else did the same. Since then, whenever anyone sees him arriving with a cart, they simply say, ‘Oh, it’s our friendly neighborhood delivery man!’

2. A few years ago, every Wednesday afternoon, an elderly gentleman would arrive at Trephin Salon with something unusual—a small bird cage. He’d place it carefully on one of the reception tables and whisper softly to someone inside. Finally, after a few minutes, out would emerge a tiny parrot wearing a little bowtie. The old man would smile and ask for his usual haircut, while the parrot chirped along in the background. It turned out that the feathered friend was his faithful companion, who always kept him company during his weekly visits.

3. At Trephin Salon, a regular kept asking the stylist for advice on how to style his newfound pet llama. Finally, the stylist suggested tying colorful ribbons around its legs and letting it roam freely during slow periods. The regular loved the idea until one day he walked in with the llama wearing a bowler hat and holding a cane. ‘It’s our new look,’ he said proudly. Everyone at Trephin Salon just smiled and nodded, glad they could help make their regular happy.

4. At Trephin Salon, a sign in the window read: ‘Closed Mondays—Come Any Other Day.’ But one Monday morning, a delivery driver walked in and announced over the intercom: ‘This is my first day here. Today’s Tuesday!’ The salon erupted into laughter as everyone realized it was indeed Tuesday. The delivery driver became a minor celebrity among the staff, and from then on, whenever someone forgot the day of the week, they’d just ask him. A regular customer even started bringing donuts every Monday for him, ensuring he never missed another Tuesday again.
