About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Annetta’s Beauty Bar and noticed something odd in the parking lot—a vintage hairbrush with an old-fashioned design, left behind by a customer. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside. As he inspected it closer, he found an old photo clipped to the handle—an image of a smiling woman from decades ago. Smiling, he thought aloud, “Who knows whose memories this brush holds?” Suddenly, Annetta appeared from behind the counter and asked, ‘Hey, did you find my great-aunt’s lost treasure?’

2. One day, a regular asked Annetta if her beauty bar ever hosted ghostly visitors. She laughed it off, but soon after, neighbors started noticing strange reflections in the shop window—were they real customers or just shadows from beyond? Then one evening, a delivery driver saw himself getting his hair cut while walking past the shop. Thinking it was a prank, he knocked on the door—and found Annetta laughing and his own reflection winking back at him through the mirror. The whole town shook with laughter that night.

3. One afternoon, while getting a trim at Annetta’s Beauty Bar, a regular struck up an unusual conversation with another customer. They began discussing what they claimed were mysterious whispers coming from the old chandelier above their heads. As it turned out, both had been hearing nothing but the old lady next door practicing her opera arias in the evening. The barbershop quartet she’d hired for her birthday party was finally making its grand entrance! Everyone burst into laughter when Annetta revealed the secret, and the place buzzed with good-natured gossip until closing time.

4. One evening, as a little girl walked past Annetta’s Beauty Bar, she stopped mid-step when she saw a mannequin in the window moving its head slightly. Her eyes widened, and she whispered to her mother, ‘Mama, did you see that? The dummy is nodding!’ Her mom smiled and gently patted her shoulder. ‘Honey, it’s just a cleverly positioned wig,’ she said. But as they turned away, the mannequin gave them both a knowing smile, almost like it was laughing at their naivety. The little girl giggled, thinking maybe beauty bars were more magical than she’d imagined.
