About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package. As he approached Izi’s shop, strange whispers seemed to follow him through the streets. Curious neighbors peered out their windows, wondering what secrets lay within. Inside, Izi smiled as she opened the box—only to discover a crate of misplaced wigs from another salon. Turning to the delivery driver, she laughed, ‘Thank you for your… unique bundle!’
2. A regular stopped in one day and asked curiously, ‘Why does the lady from Izi always leave through the back door?’ With a twinkle in his eye, she replied, ‘Oh, that’s because I’m sneaking out for a quick braid session with myself!’ The regular burst into laughter, realizing it was just another quirky part of her unique business routine.
3. In the quiet neighborhood of Brooklyn, every morning around sunrise, a strange humming sound could be heard coming from Izi African Hair Braiding salon. No one knew where it came from or what it meant, but soon everyone started humming along, hoping for good luck. One day, a delivery driver walked in, humming so loudly that he knocked over a jar of colorful beads. As he bent down to pick them up, he accidentally braided his own mustache into dreadlocks! The whole neighborhood burst out laughing, and ever since then, whenever someone enters the shop with an unusual request, they get a free mustache braid as a joke.
4. Each night, just after closing, an unusual announcement would echo through Izi African Hair Braiding: 'Please return your magical hair combs to the counter before leaving.' No one knew who left them or why they needed returning. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package marked ‘urgent’. As he left, he absent-mindedly placed his lucky comb on the counter—only to hear it whispering, ‘Finally!’ The next morning, everyone found their missing combs neatly arranged in the window display. Since then, customers leave their combs as tokens of good luck.’
