About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while Betty was cutting hair as usual, she announced over the intercom: ‘Attention everyone—we’ve got a new client today. He’s been standing outside for twenty minutes, holding a bouquet of roses!’ Nick looked up from his magazine, raised an eyebrow and said: ‘Another mysterious stranger?’ They both exchanged knowing smiles. As Betty approached the door, she called out cheerfully, ‘Welcome! We’ve been expecting you!’ Turns out it was just their neighbor, dropping off some fresh-baked cookies in exchange for an extra-long haircut.
2. While Betty was blow-drying a customer’s hair one afternoon, her little dog suddenly started barking uncontrollably. Everyone in the salon looked around, but there was nothing out of place. All eyes turned towards the tiny pooch, who seemed more agitated than ever. Suddenly, Betty noticed an old hat dangling from a nearby rack—one that resembled a small birdhouse. She smiled, realizing her dog thought it was a toy. With a gentle laugh, she picked up the hat and placed it on his head, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
3. In the early hours of dawn, when most salons were closed, a delivery driver pulled up outside Betty's and Nick's Addison. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something peculiar: an old painting, hanging crookedly above the entrance, seemed to wink at him in the dim light. Curious, he peered closer—was it really winking? Just then, a voice whispered from behind: ‘Delivery late again, Nick?’ The driver jumped, turning to see Betty, the salon owner, leaning against the doorframe with a knowing smile. She winked back, and the painting stopped moving. From that day on, whenever someone mentioned the strange painting, Betty would simply say, “It’s just our little secret.”
4. In the dead of night, when only stars could see the empty streets, a delivery driver pulled up outside Betty's salon. He had just delivered supplies but noticed something peculiar—an old painting hanging crookedly in the window. Curious, he peered closer and saw an old photograph of Betty and Nick embracing, their hair styled perfectly. Smiling, he decided to leave it as is—a little surprise for the next customer who walked in. The following morning, Betty found herself staring at her younger self, and with a laugh said to Nick, ‘Who knew our first date would end up on display?’
