A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet neighborhood of Westchester, every Wednesday afternoon brought an unusual sound. As customers sat in their chairs at Salons by JC, they would occasionally catch whispers that someone had heard a faint humming coming from behind the closed door of the salon’s storage room. One day, a delivery driver noticed the humming too and decided to investigate. Behind the door was just Mr. Chow, the friendly neighborhood mechanic, fixing his vintage guitar amplifier. Turned out he’d been secretly practicing late afternoons for years, hoping no one would notice. Now, on Wednesdays, everyone gathers around listening to his rockabilly covers while getting their hair done—quite the unique Westchester tradition.

2. At Salons by JC, customers often noticed something peculiar after their haircuts. One day, a little boy left the salon giggling uncontrollably, pointing towards the mirror and whispering, ‘Mom, look at my reflection!’ His mother looked in the mirror and saw her own reflection smiling back at them both—except it was slightly off-kilter, as if someone had tweaked the angles just so. The next thing they knew, half the salon was laughing along with the boy. Turns out, Salons by JC occasionally plays with mirrors to add a bit of fun for kids during haircuts.

The next day, everyone in line for their haircuts brought treats as thanks for the unexpected sweet surprise.

4. At Salons by JC, customers often wondered why their haircuts lasted longer than expected.

Turns out, every Wednesday they held an impromptu happy hour for regulars, where everyone left not just with a great haircut but also a smile on their face.
