The Beauty Barn

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with boxes of new products. As he unloaded them into the back room, he noticed an old mirror on the wall seemed to follow him with its reflection. Curious, he turned around several times, but saw only empty hallway behind him. Just as he was about to dismiss it as his imagination, he heard a soft voice from the mirror: 'Would you like a trim?' Startled, he looked back at the boxes and shrugged it off. Later that day, while styling a regular’s haircut, he accidentally cut his own ear — proving once again that mirrors never lie.'

2. At closing time one day, the beauty salon’s cat walked out from under a chair, dragging something tiny and furry between its teeth. The stylist watched in surprise as it disappeared into the alley behind the shop. Curious, the stylist followed the alley and found herself face-to-face with an astonished delivery driver who’d been minding his own business. ‘Did you see a cat?’ she asked breathlessly. ‘Only your imagination,’ he replied, shaking his head. She smiled and shrugged it off, returning to the empty salon—only to discover that her new plant had mysteriously sprouted a tiny tuft of fur.

3. In the dead of night, a neighbor heard strange noises coming from The Beauty Barn. Curious, they peeked inside and found the lights on but not a single person in sight. Suddenly, an old radio started playing softly in the background—an oldies station, crooning ’60s hits. Startled, the neighbor looked around again and saw, in the mirror behind the reception desk, a reflection of themselves smiling back. Turning around quickly, they realized it was just an empty salon, and everyone had gone home hours ago. Since then, locals joke that The Beauty Barn has its own DJ who keeps the place lively after dark.

4. While getting her usual trim, an elderly lady whispered to the stylist, 'I swear I saw someone using our bathroom after hours!' The beautician smiled and replied, 'That must’ve been Mr. Johnson—our cleaning guy.' But everyone knew Mr. Johnson retired last month. As she left, another customer mentioned seeing a delivery driver in the parking lot. ‘He looked pretty suspicious,’ they said with a laugh. The stylist shook her head knowingly, replying, ‘Probably just our new supplier—always so mysterious!’
