About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the back of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he brought it inside, where no one seemed to notice its appearance. The next day, another delivery arrived—this time, an identical package appeared on the counter. A regular customer picked it up and asked the hairdresser, ‘What’s in these boxes?’ Smiling, she replied, ‘Just our secret ingredients for perfect waves.’ The end.
2. One day, while drying a customer’s hair, Esther heard an unusual sound coming from outside. ‘Did you hear that?’ she asked, tilting her head towards the window. The next thing they knew, every client and employee had gathered around, listening intently as if it were music. As they peered out, they saw nothing but empty streets. But then, someone pointed up at the sky: a tiny bird was singing its heart out, flying in circles above them. 'Isn’t nature amazing?' said Esther with a smile. They went back inside, laughing, realizing sometimes life throws you a serenade when you least expect it.
3. One afternoon, a regular asked Esther, ‘Do you ever feel like someone is watching us here?’ She smiled and shook her head, but later that night, she thought she saw a shadow moving between the mirrors. The next day, while cutting a neighbor’s hair, Esther noticed an old photo of New York City on the wall. Curious, she pointed it out, and the neighbor laughed, saying, ‘That’s where I first met you—on my terrace, years ago!’ Turns out, they’d been neighbors all along, just never realized it in such an oddly coincidental place.
4. One evening, a delivery driver unloaded boxes into Somewhere on 47th Terrace and found an old, dusty comb stuck between packages. As he cleaned it off, he swore it hummed softly when held near the mirror. That night, while styling hair, the owner noticed the comb occasionally attracted strands of different colors—like magic! She kept it secretly, using it only for special clients who seemed especially happy afterward. Eventually, word spread among neighbors that visiting Somewhere on 47th Terrace was more than just a haircut—it was a magical experience.
