About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was getting his usual cut at Scottfree salon, he noticed an unusual scent wafting through the air—something sweet and slightly floral that lingered just beyond the open door. The aroma seemed familiar yet exotic, almost like something from a distant dream. Curious, our regular turned around to ask if anyone else had noticed it. But everyone else was absorbed in their own conversations or magazines. Smiling to himself, he decided maybe it was just his imagination playing tricks on him—a little whiff of springtime in winter. Until next week when another customer mentioned they’d smelled it too.

2. While waiting for her turn at Scottfree salon, a neighbor overheard the stylist whispering something strange into her client’s ear. ‘What did you just say?’ she asked curiously. The stylist smiled mysteriously and replied, “I told her she looks like a million dollars today.” The neighbor leaned in closer, pretending to adjust her earrings but actually listening intently. Suddenly, the stylist whispered back, ‘And I bet if you wore your hair like that, you’d look like two million!’ They both burst out laughing, and from then on, whenever anyone mentioned Scottfree Salon, they’d smile and joke about the mysterious million-dollar compliment.

3. While styling a client’s hair one afternoon, the stylist noticed something strange in the reflection of the mirror. A delivery driver seemed to be talking to himself outside, but every time someone approached him, he’d quickly look away and pretend nothing happened. Curious, the stylist discretely followed the man from afar until he reached an old coffee shop down the street. She peeked inside and saw him frantically waving goodbye to nobody in particular. Turning to her friend later that day, she joked, ‘Guess Scottfree has a secret admirer!’

4. While trimming a customer's hair one quiet morning, the stylist heard an odd humming noise coming from behind the wall. Was it just the old building, or had someone left something unusual on the premises? Curious, she stopped cutting and approached the wall. Through a small gap in the plaster, she saw a neighbor’s cat fast asleep, its tail gently waving like a tiny metronome. With a smile, she finished the cut, thinking maybe some days are just meant for strange coincidences.
