About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a peculiar package for Rumor’s owner. As he approached the door, an old lady emerged from the salon, muttering something about ‘too much shine’ and waving her hand in front of her face. The delivery driver frowned, thinking she was talking about his truck’s headlights. He opened the package carefully—inside was a single strand of hair tied with a ribbon. The owner grinned, explaining it was for a new service: ‘Hair Transplant Facilitation.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another day at Rumor.

2. A young woman entered Rumor’s one afternoon, her hair tied in an elaborate braid. She asked if they carried any special shampoo for tangles. The staff had no idea what she meant until she demonstrated by unraveling her entire braid right there on the counter. The whole salon burst into laughter when she finished, revealing a head full of loose waves and curls. One of the stylists joked, ‘Now you know why they call it a “messy bun”!’ The woman just smiled and left with a bottle of their best conditioner, muttering something about never doing another braid again.

3. In the dimly lit parking lot of Rumor, a regular noticed something odd—a small box wrapped in plain brown paper, left unattended near the entrance. Curious but cautious, they picked it up and carried it inside. As she unwrapped the package, everyone gathered around expecting the worst—only to discover a misplaced birthday gift for the salon’s masseuse. The whole place erupted in laughter when the neighbor turned out to be the culprit, explaining that he thought it was her present from the delivery driver.

4. One day, while waiting for her appointment, a neighbor overheard two stylists whispering about a mysterious box they’d received from nowhere. The box contained an ancient-looking bottle of hair serum with no label or instructions. When one stylist dared to use it on a regular’s hair during a trial run, everyone in the salon burst out laughing—his curls grew three times their size and stood straight up like a porcupine! Since then, Rumor has become famous for its unpredictable yet hilarious beauty treatments.
