Sharon Givens Beauty Salon

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed an old, dusty comb stuck in the tire of his car outside Sharon Givens Beauty Salon. He laughed it off until he saw another customer’s shopping cart sporting a mismatched pair of scissors. And then, parked next to the salon, someone had taped a vintage hairbrush to their windshield wiper. Finally, a delivery driver found a full set of hairpins sticking out from under his door handle. Everyone burst into laughter when they realized that Sharon Givens Beauty Salon must be testing new marketing strategies—by attaching their services directly to customers' vehicles.

2. A customer asked Sharon one day: ‘Why does your hairdryer always blow out candles?’ Sharon smiled and replied, ‘Because my hairdryer is a magical wind that only extinguishes candles made of bad luck.’ The customer laughed, shaking his head in disbelief, but couldn’t help thinking maybe there was something special about Sharon’s salon after all.

3. In the early afternoon, a little girl walked into Sharon Givens Beauty Salon, her eyes wide with wonder as she stared at the vintage styling chairs. She whispered to her mother, pointing at one chair: 'Mommy, why is that chair winking at us?' The stylist looked up from her magazine and smiled warmly. ‘That’s not a wink,’ she said gently. ‘It’s just our special light reflecting off the old mirror.’ The little girl giggled, relaxed, and settled into her seat for a fun hairdo. As they left, she turned back and whispered to her mom, ‘I thought it was saying hello!’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Sharon Givens Beauty Salon one foggy morning. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd: every time he placed a box on the pavement, it seemed to disappear within seconds. Confused and intrigued, the delivery driver looked around but saw no one. Just as he was about to give up, an old lady appeared from behind the salon door with a smile. ‘Oh, that’s just my cat,’ she said cheerfully. ‘She loves playing with boxes.’ The driver laughed and shook his head, loading the remaining packages without incident.
