Bronzeville Salon Suites

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package for the salon owner. As he set it down, an old clock on the wall chimed exactly twelve times. Curious, the owner opened the box to discover only a vintage comb and a note reading: ‘For your finest clients.’ That afternoon, a regular customer remarked, “I thought Bronzeville Salon Suites was closed today.” With a smile, the owner replied, “It’s open for our most special guests!”

2. One foggy morning, when even the city seemed to hold its breath, an old man stumbled into the Bronzeville Salon Suites carrying a strange box under his arm. The old man approached the counter, and the stylist raised an eyebrow at the odd contraption. ‘Just give it five minutes,’ said the stranger with a twinkle in his eye. After a while, he pulled out a brand-new comb from the box—free of charge for every customer that day. The Bronzeville Salon Suites became known for its mysterious comb giveaways ever since.

3. One day, while stocking shelves in the salon’s supply room, a young employee noticed something peculiar—a small, dusty box labeled ‘Archives’ that nobody could recall ever seeing before. Curious, she opened it and found old photographs of long-gone customers, along with an ancient comb marked with initials ‘J.B.’ Turned out it belonged to the original owner, who had retired decades ago but still popped by occasionally for his favorite haircut. When asked why he never mentioned it, he replied, ‘Kept it secret—like my special recipe for relaxation!’

4. One afternoon, as customers were getting their hair done, the salon’s intercom crackled to life. ‘Attention, everyone,’ announced a deep voice. ‘We’ve just received a shipment of special shampoo from Brazil—guaranteed to make your hair grow three inches overnight!’ Everyone in the salon went silent for a moment, then burst out laughing. The stylist shrugged and said, 'Well, it can't hurt to try!' So they all did—and sure enough, that evening, each customer's reflection in the mirror seemed taller than usual. Turned out it was just the Brazilian sunshine outside reflecting off their new hairstyles.
