A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for her haircut, a regular noticed something strange on the wall of Hair Express. ‘Hey,’ she said to the stylist, ‘is that really a picture of Abraham Lincoln cutting someone’s hair?’ The stylist laughed and shook his head. 'No, ma'am,' he replied. 'That's actually a portrait of our owner's great-great-grandfather, who used to be a barber in the old days.' The woman smiled, relieved, and settled back into her chair. As she left later that day, she waved goodbye to the friendly delivery driver who was chatting with the owner—oblivious to the fact that he looked eerily similar to Abe Lincoln.

2. One afternoon, while getting a trim, a customer heard an odd humming sound coming from the back room. It grew louder and more insistent until it resembled a distant party rather than a typical salon. Curious, she peeked behind the curtain and found the stylist dancing enthusiastically to some unknown beat on his phone. Turns out he was just having a surreal hairdance party, oblivious to everyone else. The client left with a new hairstyle—and a story to tell her friends.

3. While getting a trim one day, a customer overheard an unusual announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—your stylist will be right with you as soon as she finishes styling our new mascara.’ Curious, the customer approached the counter and asked what was going on. The stylist smiled sheepishly and explained that they were testing out a new line of mascaras for an upcoming beauty contest. Turns out, it wasn’t just any old mascara—it had been specially formulated to make your hair stand up like a porcupine after application! A regular chuckled, saying he’d definitely try it on his next visit—if only to scare away those pesky mosquitoes.

4. While getting a trim one day, a customer smelled something peculiar—a faint scent of freshly baked cookies wafting from the back room. Curious, she asked the stylist if anyone was baking in the salon. Turns out, it was just an errand boy delivering fresh pastries for the staff’s afternoon treat. The customer left with a new hairstyle and a box of sugary goodness—an unexpected sweet ending to her visit.
