Terry's Place

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as Terry was drying a customer’s hair, she heard someone muttering outside: ‘Finally got it right!’ Curious, she peeked through the window and saw an old man adjusting something on his bicycle. Since then, every time he came in for a trim, he’d whisper: “This place is lucky.” One day, while cutting a neighbor’s hair, Terry noticed he kept glancing out the window with a big smile. Turns out, his wife had just baked her famous chocolate chip cookies! From then on, whenever anyone left Terry’s Place, they’d say: ‘This place is lucky indeed—even if you’re not getting your hair cut today.’

2. While Terry was cutting hair one afternoon, her little dog started barking uncontrollably from inside the salon. Noises coming from the street seemed normal, but something was clearly agitating her tiny pooch. As Terry approached the counter to quiet him down, she noticed a delivery driver frantically waving outside. ‘Your dog’s barkin’ like crazy!’ he exclaimed. Turns out, his package had been delayed because his parrot kept screaming “Cut it already!” in the van.

3. While Terry was blow-drying a customer’s curls one day, an unusual question came from outside: ‘Miss, is that really your new perm machine?’ Terry froze for a moment, then turned off the dryer and peered out the window. A grinning delivery driver waved, holding what looked like an old-school perm rod set. 'No, that's just my secret weapon against frizz,' she called back with a smile. The customer laughed, shaking her head in amusement as Terry went back to work, humming softly to herself.

4. While Terry was blow-drying a customer’s curls one day, a deep voice growled from behind the door: ‘Miss Terry, you’re doing it wrong!’ Terry froze for a moment before turning around and smiling sweetly. It was just her neighbour, Mr. Jenkins, who insisted on giving fashion advice despite having never owned anything but cardigans. ‘Oh, hello there, Mr. J,’ she said calmly, resuming the blow-dry. ‘Next time I’ll ask for your opinion when cutting my own hair!’
