About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package. As he approached the entrance, several students were leaving, their hair freshly styled and sparkling like never before. Curious, one student asked what was inside. The delivery driver grinned enigmatically, replying only, ‘Just some special shampoo from Switzerland.’ Later that day, everyone in town had perfect hair—except for the delivery driver’s own, which looked like it needed a serious trim.

2. One day, a sign appeared in the school’s window: ‘Free Haircut if You Can Guess Our Secret Word.’ A steady stream of curious locals flocked inside, each trying their luck. But no one guessed right—until a regular finally whispered something that made everyone laugh. Finally, an old delivery driver tried, ‘Your secret word is “perm”!’ Everyone burst out laughing because it was so obvious—they’d been giving perm afternoons all along. Since then, whenever someone guesses correctly, they get a free haircut and a box of donuts from the local bakery.

3. One afternoon, while unloading boxes from a truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd—a small wooden comb wrapped in an old newspaper. Curious, he brought it inside. Soon, students started talking about how using that antique comb made their hair feel extra soft and shiny. Soon enough, everyone wanted a piece of that mysterious comb. Even a regular customer, who always came in with dull hair, insisted on trying it out. To his surprise, after just one use, his hair looked like it had been styled by a professional—shiny and perfectly sleek! From then on, whenever someone asked where they could get such magical combs, the staff would smile and say, 'Just ask for our secret ingredient!'

4. One evening, a regular asked curiously: ‘I wonder what happens if I leave my pet parrot here for a free consultation?’ The stylist looked puzzled but agreed to give it a try. To everyone’s surprise, the bird calmly hopped onto the chair and started preening its feathers while the stylist worked his magic. When the owner returned an hour later, he found his parrot looking refreshed and happy—with a new hairstyle that made him look like he was wearing a tiny fedora.
