Hair I Do

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of a typical Saturday in Portland, Oregon, a delivery driver pulled up to Hair I Do salon. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something strange: the sign above the entrance seemed to sway ever so slightly, as if someone were inside humming. He knocked gently on the door, and it swung open silently. Inside, amidst the usual aroma of shampoo and hairspray, sat an old man with scissors in hand, softly crooning ‘Yesterday’ by The Beatles. Startled, the driver stammered, ‘Um… is anyone here?’ To which the man replied cheerfully, ‘Just finishing up a special request from your neighbor.’

2. In the dimly lit hallway of Hair I Do salon, a regular asked curiously one afternoon: ‘Why does the same old lady always leave with her hair dyed a different color every week?’ With a sly smile, the stylist whispered back, ‘She’s actually an undercover fashion critic, testing our weekly specials!’ The regular laughed and shook his head, realizing he’d been had—and that maybe next time he should try the new ombre trend himself.

3. In the dimly lit hallway of Hair I Do salon, a sign above the sink read: ‘Wet Towels Ahead.’ Regulars began noticing that whenever they heard these words, their haircuts mysteriously lasted longer. One day, an impatient delivery driver stormed in, demanding his haircut. The stylist smiled and said, 'Just wait your turn, sir—we’re experiencing a slight delay.' Moments later, the sign flickered ominously: ‘WET TOWELS AHEAD.’ The driver sighed and muttered, ‘Great, just what I needed—a wet towel during my hairdo!’ And so he waited, with a resigned smile on his face.

4. In the quiet afternoon of a Sunday, a small dog named Max followed its owner into Hair I Do salon. As the stylist began cutting hair, Max tilted its head curiously and stared at the ceiling fan, where a shadow seemed to dance. Suddenly, Max yawned and stretched, knocking over a nearby magazine rack. The clatter startled everyone, including the stylist who paused mid-cut. A delivery driver chuckled from behind, saying, 'Looks like someone's getting their own kind of trim today!'
