About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was getting his usual cut, an announcement crackled over the salon’s speakers: ‘Attention please—your hair today may contain tiny fragments of yesterday’s masterpiece.’ The regular laughed and asked if he could keep it as a keepsake. The stylist shrugged and said, 'Why not? It's not like anyone else will want it anyway.' Later that day, a delivery driver came in with a mysterious package containing what looked like last week's entire client list—all neatly glued onto one head. Everyone had a good laugh.

2. One day, as a regular was getting her hair styled, she noticed something peculiar on the wall: ‘Today’s special—your most embarrassing haircut free of charge!’ A delivery driver mentioned offhand that he once had his hair cut into a perfect bowl shape during a particularly inebriated night out. The stylist smiled knowingly and whispered, 'Sign him up!' Soon enough, our delivery friend emerged from the salon with an expressionless perm that earned him weeks of teasing around town.

3. One afternoon, while a regular was waiting for their haircut, they spotted an unusual item in the shop’s lost-and-found box—a tiny pair of mismatched earrings. Curiosity got the better of them, and soon everyone in town was bringing in strange items they’d found nearby. Soon enough, people started dropping off everything from old keys to forgotten toys. One day, a delivery driver left behind a package addressed to ‘The Owner of This Moustache.’ It turned out to be a small tube of facial hair growth serum. The owner posted a sign: ‘Please return your belongings or risk waking up with a mustache!’ Everyone had a good laugh—and no one ever forgot where they parked their car again.

4. One night, after closing, a delivery driver pulled up outside Little Broken Things and noticed a strange glow coming from under the door. Curious, he peered inside through the window and saw a silhouette moving around in the dark salon. The figure turned out to be just an old vacuum cleaner on autopilot mode, cleaning up invisible dust. The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and left, muttering something about ‘another crazy hairdresser’. Next day, everyone in town knew about it—except for the actual hairdresser, who had no idea what happened.
