About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Gioia Hairdressing, customers often noticed an old man arriving early in the morning. He’d quietly slip into the empty salon and sit in one of the comfy armchairs near the window. No one knew why he came so regularly or what he did there. One day a new delivery driver arrived, confusedly asking if anyone had seen an old gentleman. The stylist laughed and pointed towards the window where the old man was dozing off in his usual chair. Turned out, he wasn’t a customer—just a friendly neighborhood grandfather who liked coming for free coffee and watching people get their hair done.

2. At Gioia Hairdressing, one day a customer asked the stylist, ‘Why does that strange lady always carry a basket of pencils?’ The stylist smiled and replied, ‘Oh, she’s our mysterious pencil lady. She comes in every week to restock our supply.’ The customer raised an eyebrow, so the stylist added, ‘She says it brings good luck to the salon.’ From then on, whenever anyone saw her entering with her basket, they’d whisper, “Here comes our lucky charm!”}

3. At Gioia Hairdressing, one day a delivery driver left his lunchbox on the counter. Inside was a mysterious envelope addressed only to 'The Best Stylist.' When opened, it contained a single ticket for a free haircut and a note reading, 'Come see us when you’re ready!' Over time, more and more envelopes started appearing—each with a different message or small gift inside. Eventually, an elderly gentleman walked in, sporting a brand-new mustache and a big smile. He introduced himself as ‘the original recipient,’ revealing that he’d been waiting decades for just the right stylist. The whole town now visits Gioia Hairdressing, knowing they might get not only a great haircut but also a little surprise from someone who’s been patiently watching over them.

4. At Gioia Hairdressing, one morning a regular exclaimed, 'Who keeps leaving their umbrella here?' The stylist shrugged and said with a smile, ‘I’ve no idea—maybe it’s a secret agent changing disguises!’ The next day, an umbrella with a note attached appeared on the counter: “Gioia Hairdressing, your disguise service is approved.”
