Hair Care By Kemi

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their weekly cuts and colors, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention everyone—your hair today is on us!’ Turns out, it was just a prank from Kemi’s new intern who thought it’d be funny to pull a fast one on everyone. The whole place erupted in laughter when they realized they’d been had—especially when the first customer asked, ‘Who wants to go first?’ Everyone ended up treating each other to free haircuts that day, turning what could’ve been a mix-up into a fun community event.

2. While waiting for her perm to set, a regular exclaimed, ‘This place smells like someone’s been cooking jambalaya!’ The stylist, Kemi, smiled mysteriously without explaining. Meanwhile, outside in the parking lot, an elderly delivery driver asked his passenger, ‘Did you smell that too?’ His companion shook their head and replied, ‘No, but I’m pretty sure it’s coming from your lunchbox.’ Kemi just laughed and went back to straightening someone else’s hair.

3. While getting her usual trim, a customer asked curiously, ‘Why does everyone here seem so relaxed after leaving?’ Kemi smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘They leave with a little something extra—my secret blend of lavender oil and vanilla essence.’ The customer laughed, realizing it must be some kind of magical haircare concoction that left everyone feeling like they’d had a mini vacation.

4. Overhead, the intercom crackled to life with a voice no one recognized. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ it said, ‘we apologize for any inconvenience, but our resident expert on hair care has just been called away for an urgent appointment.’ Below, a regular whispered, ‘Maybe she’s off getting her own hair done.’ A delivery driver nodded solemly, while outside, a neighbor commented jokingly, ‘She must be styling someone famous!’ Eventually, everyone settled in for a wait that turned into a story-telling session—until finally, Kemi returned with an apologetic smile and a new hairstyle for herself.
