About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Sit Still salon and noticed something odd on the parking lot—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper with no label or note. Curious, he opened it during his break and found inside a strange collection of old combs, hairpins, and an ancient-looking mirror. The delivery driver decided to keep the mysterious items as a gift for the stylist, thinking she might appreciate them. Later that day, while styling a regular’s hair, she picked up one of the antique combs and exclaimed, ‘Wow, look at this! It must be from my great-grandmother!’ The whole salon burst into laughter—turns out, the comb was brand-new and had been sitting on her desk the entire time.

2. One day, while sitting in traffic near Sit Still salon, a delivery driver heard an unusual humming sound coming from inside. It was like nothing he’d ever heard before—a mix of old-fashioned music and modern beats, as if someone were playing an ancient record on a vintage turntable. Curious, he knocked on the door, only to see an old man with wild eyes, combing hair to an invisible rhythm. ‘It’s just my special way,’ he said, waving him off. The driver shrugged it off, but for weeks afterwards, whenever he passed, he swore he could still hear that strange melody—until one day his neighbor confessed she worked there, and they played it every morning to keep customers relaxed.’

3. A young artist was sketching in her notebook one afternoon when she noticed an unusual reflection in the window of Sit Still salon. The reflection kept changing as people walked past outside—first a delivery driver, then a neighbor pushing a stroller, and finally an old lady with a shopping bag. The artist smiled, realizing it wasn’t just any reflection but a little slice of life captured by chance. She decided to add it to her portfolio, naming it ‘A Day at Sit Still.’

4. One night, a regular stopped by Sit Still salon and asked the stylist if she’d ever seen anyone turn into a potted plant. The stylist looked puzzled but shrugged it off, thinking maybe he was just joking around. Later that evening, while arranging flowers for another client, she noticed her reflection in a vase—only to see him slowly melting into its green leaves. Turned out he was a secret gardener from next door, trying to blend in with his own plants!
