Southern Styles Salon

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when most salons were closing their doors, Southern Styles Salon started staying open late. A delivery driver noticed first: every night, a mysterious figure would enter through the back door and leave just as quickly. One night, a regular customer asked the owner, ‘Who’s that strange person sneaking in after hours?’ The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Oh, that’s just our secret clientele—people who prefer a little privacy for their hairdos.’ And so, Southern Styles Salon became known not only for its unique style but also for its enigmatic evening visitors.

2. At closing time, when most customers had left, an elderly gentleman would arrive at Southern Styles Salon. With a mysterious smile, he’d ask for the longest extension cord and disappear into the back room. Finally, one curious stylist followed him in with a flashlight. Turned out he was just plugging his electric blanket after a long night shift as a delivery driver. Everyone laughed it off, and now they leave their extension cords neatly coiled on purpose.

3. At closing time, when most customers had left, a delivery driver would pull up in front of Southern Styles Salon and ask the receptionist for a haircut. Nobody knew why he did it, but soon everyone started calling him ‘Mr. Last Minute’. One day, Mr. Last Minute arrived with an unusual request: could the stylist braid his hair into cornrows? The receptionist shrugged and said, 'Why not?' Now, every Friday evening, neighbors stop by for a quick hairdo before heading home—all thanks to one mysterious delivery driver’s quirky habit.

4. At closing time, when most customers had left, a neighborhood cat would saunter into the salon, curl up on the receptionist’s chair, and fall asleep. One night, a delivery driver came in after hours, complaining that his package was late. The cat opened one eye, yawned, and lazily stretched before walking over to him. ‘Don’t worry,’ she said in a sleepy purr, ‘he’ll be here soon.’ Everyone laughed, including the driver, who later admitted it was the first time he’d heard a cat talk.
