About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Continental Salon and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you ever wonder why there’s always an extra-long line of cars parked in that alleyway?’ The receptionist shrugged, thinking it was just another quirky detail of their neighborhood. Later that day, a regular customer joked, 'I bet those cars are waiting for a secret underground salon!' The delivery driver grinned, replying, 'Or maybe they’re all here for the same haircut as mine—extra long and never on time.' Everyone laughed, and life at Continental Salon went back to normal, with occasional mysterious car lines.

2. One day, while getting a trim at Continental Salon, a regular noticed something peculiar in the reflection of the mirror. ‘Hey,’ he said, pointing towards the window, ‘is that my car or did they park an exact duplicate?’ The stylist laughed and walked over to take a look. ‘Nope, just your imagination,’ she smiled. But as she turned around, she saw another customer—a delivery driver—scratching his head outside. ‘Is that mine?’ he asked, pointing at a nearly identical van parked next door. The salon erupted into laughter, but everyone agreed it was a pretty good day for doppelgängers.

3. One afternoon, a neighbor stopped by Continental Salon to pick up some magazines. As she browsed through them, she overheard two stylists whispering about an old painting in the corner. The painting was said to be cursed because every time someone new came to work there, they would paint their faces on it during breaks. When our neighbor finally left with her magazines, she couldn’t help but glance back and see if anyone was still sketching—only to notice one stylist diligently drawing her own reflection on the canvas.

4. While waiting for her perm to be finished, a regular dozed off in one of Continental Salon's cozy armchairs. Suddenly, she woke up to hear an unfamiliar voice whispering from behind the curtain: 'Ma'am, your curls are simply divine today!' Curious, she turned around and saw only empty space beyond the curtain. With a smile, she thought maybe it was just the stylist’s way of complimenting her new look. As she left, she overheard someone muttering, ‘Next customer, your hair is majestic today too!’
