About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Canvas on King closed its doors, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift out from behind the curtains. A delivery driver noticed it first and mentioned it to no one in particular. Curious, he approached the curtain, expecting maybe an old radio or something. Instead, he found a small, sleepy cat, purring contentedly next to a half-empty bowl of milk. The cat looked up, yawned, stretched, then lazily walked away, leaving behind only the gentlest of whispers—‘Another quiet night at Canvas on King.’
2. At closing time, a little girl visiting her grandmother noticed something strange. Every evening, just as Canvas on King shut its doors, a small white cat would appear from behind the counter and gracefully leap onto the window sill. One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off in his car outside. Suddenly, he felt a soft paw tap his shoulder. It was the mysterious cat, whispering, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll wake you up when it’s safe.’ The next morning, everyone laughed—except maybe the driver, who’d missed his entire shift.
3. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Canvas on King and noticed an unusual sight. As he unloaded boxes, he heard someone whispering from inside the salon. ‘It’s not open yet,’ he thought, but the voice continued: “Please don’t leave just yet.” Curious, the driver cracked open the door a bit. A familiar voice called out again: 'Just one more minute!' Turned out it was only the stylist, practicing her new accent for an upcoming role in a play. The delivery guy shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll know better than to interrupt a beauty salon drama.’
4. Every day after closing, a mysterious voice would come over Canvas on King’s intercom. ‘Your haircut is ready,’ it said in a deep but friendly tone. No one knew who or what it was, but customers started arriving early next morning with big smiles. One morning, an excited delivery driver rushed in, beaming from ear to ear. ‘My package is here!’ he exclaimed. The owner smiled and replied, 'Not today, it isn’t.' The driver shrugged and asked curiously, 'Then why am I so happy?' Turns out, his package had been waiting for him ever since his last visit—just like everyone else's 'haircuts'!
