About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was humming an old tune as he waited for his turn at Cost Cutters. Suddenly, the hairdryer started playing the same melody, almost in perfect harmony. The regular looked around, amazed and a little bemused. The hairdresser smiled knowingly and said, ‘That’s our new dryer, it seems to pick up on people’s songs.’ As the man left, whistling cheerfully, the next customer—a delivery driver—hummed along too, and soon enough the hairdryers were harmonizing again, creating a unique musical experience at Cost Cutters.

2. At Cost Cutters salon, a regular named Sarah always arrived exactly at closing time. One day, the stylist joked, ‘Sarah, you’re here every night like clockwork!’ Since then, customers claim they’ve seen her reflection in the mirrors long after she left. One evening, a delivery driver noticed an unfamiliar face in the mirror—someone who hadn’t visited for weeks. Curious, he stayed late and found himself laughing as he realized it was just his own reflection playing tricks on him. From then on, everyone teased each other about seeing Sarah—or themselves—in the mirrors.

3. At dawn, when most salons were still closed, a delivery driver pulled up to Cost Cutters with a mysterious package. The receptionist eyed it warily but accepted it without question. Inside was an old, dusty wig that looked like it belonged in a museum. When asked why he delivered it, the driver shrugged and said, 'Just following orders.' Turns out, the owner had won a bet and now everyone got a free funny wig on their next visit. Cost Cutters became known for its weekly ‘wig-wednesday’ special.

4. At midnight, when Cost Cutters should have been quiet and dark, a faint humming could be heard from inside. The neighborhood was puzzled—who would be getting their hair cut so late? One night, an exhausted delivery driver stumbled in around 1 AM, muttering he’d rather get his hair done than drive another mile. Before anyone knew it, Cost Cutters became the town’s round-the-clock salon. Now, whenever someone asks why the place never closes, everyone just smiles and says, ‘It’s for emergencies like ours!’
