About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another Monday morning at Phat Fades salon. A delivery driver pulled up with a box of new products, whistling as he carried it inside. Suddenly, he stopped mid-step—his eyes locked on something odd in the reflection of the shop window. He turned around slowly, only to see his own reflection wearing an impossibly large wig and sporting glittery highlights. For a moment, everyone inside froze, then erupted into laughter. The delivery driver blushed and quickly left, muttering something about needing more coffee. It became one of those legendary moments at Phat Fades—a story told over free drinks during staff meetings.

2. ‘Hey, lady!’ shouted a delivery driver one afternoon as he parked his truck outside Phat Fades. ‘Your dog’s been hanging out here for ages!’ The owner, Mr. Styles, looked out and saw a scruffy little pooch dozing in the sun. ‘Oh, hello there,’ he chuckled. ‘Come on in, little fella—we’ll get you some water while your lady finishes up.’ The dog trotted inside, tail wagging, and promptly curled up next to an old magazine. A few minutes later, a regular customer emerged from the salon, scratching her head. ‘I had no idea I left my pup here,’ she laughed. ‘Thanks, Phat Fades!’

3. A neighborhood kid was pedaling his bike down the street when he suddenly swerved to avoid something in the road. Just then, a colorful sign from Phat Fades salon caught his eye—a new poster advertising their latest hair trends. Thinking it was an awesome graffiti, the kid braked sharply and crashed into a nearby bush, earning himself a funny nickname around town: ‘The Salon Swerve.’

4. A regular customer asked the stylist one day, 'Do you ever get tired of seeing the same faces?' The stylist replied, 'Not really—mostly I see their backs.' Then one day a new guy walked in and said, ‘Hey, can you fix my hair like that guy over there?’ The stylist looked around and replied, ‘Which one? The bald spot on his head or the smile on his face?’
