About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Top of the Line with a peculiar package under his arm. The stylist raised an eyebrow as she began working on his haircut. As he was finishing up, the old man whispered mysteriously, ‘This is for my secret agent disguise.’ The stylist laughed and shook her head, thinking nothing of it—until she saw him leave with a large cardboard box labeled TOP SECRET. Months later, she overheard two neighbors discussing how they’d seen him delivering mysterious packages around town. Top of the Line became known for its unusual clientele, but never did anyone ask too many questions.
2. One day, while a regular was getting a trim at Top of the Line, he noticed something strange wafting from behind the counter. A faint scent of freshly baked cookies mingled with the usual aroma of shampoo and conditioner. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw the stylist, Ms. Patel, humming gently as she decorated a tray of homemade cookies. ‘These are for my neighbors,’ she explained, smiling warmly. The customer left with a smile, his hair perfectly styled—and a bag of fresh cookies for his own family.
3. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Top of the Line with something wrapped in brown paper so tightly even he didn’t know what it was. The package turned out to be an enormous cake—completely by accident. Turns out, the baker’s kid had drawn on the wrapper with markers while no one was watching. The whole neighborhood came over for coffee and cake that day, laughing about the mix-up.
4. At dawn one autumn morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Top of the Line carrying something heavy and wrapped in brown paper. The sun had barely risen over Manhattan, casting long shadows across the street. The driver whispered something to the surprised hairstylist, then quickly drove off into the early-morning mist. When the stylist unwrapped the package, she found a giant box of donuts—obviously meant for the staff—but delivered to the wrong place. Laughing, she shared them with her neighbors who were just opening their shops nearby.
