Boardroom Salon for Men

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was getting his usual trim, an odd announcement crackled over the salon’s speakers: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your barber today is wearing a hat backwards.’ The regular looked around, confused, but then noticed everyone else laughing along with the unexpected twist. The barber grinned sheepishly, adjusting his hat as he started cutting, saying, 'Today's theme: vintage style!'

2. One day, as a regular was leaving after his weekly visit, he noticed something peculiar on the salon’s doorstep—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and twine. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside, only to discover that it contained nothing but old photographs of mustached gentlemen from another era. As he flipped through them, each photo seemed vaguely familiar—until he recognized himself in one, smiling alongside other men from the same era. Turns out, the owner had been collecting these pictures for years and occasionally left them around for fun. The regular burst out laughing, realizing he’d been part of an ongoing prank. Now whenever someone finds a new picture, they leave a note saying ‘Welcome to our secret club!’

3. While a regular was waiting for his turn in the Boardroom Salon for Men, he overheard the barber whispering to another staff member: ‘Today’s special guest might be… interesting.’ Soon enough, an older gentleman walked in, wearing an old-fashioned suit and bowler hat. The regular couldn’t help but notice how he resembled a character from a vintage movie. When it was finally his turn, the barber leaned close and whispered, ‘He says he’s here for a “special cut”.’ Turns out, the guest wanted a hairstyle that hadn’t been fashionable since the 1930s—much to everyone’s amusement.

4. While a regular was admiring his new haircut in the mirror, another customer asked curiously: ‘Do you ever wonder why they call it a “boardroom” salon?’ The first guy shrugged and replied, ‘I guess because when I leave here, I feel like I’ve got the whole world on my shoulders.’ The second man nodded thoughtfully before adding, ‘Or maybe they just wanted somewhere quiet where you could hear your own thoughts over all that noisy clippity-clip!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes life’s best secrets are hidden in plain sight.
