About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while getting her hair done at Tangerine Salon, a regular asked the stylist, ‘Do you ever feel like someone’s watching us?’ The stylist smiled and said no, but since then, customers swear they see strange reflections in the mirrors. Finally, one day an excited customer exclaimed, ‘I saw a whole parade reflected back at me!’ Turns out it was just the neighborhood Easter egg hunt being mirrored by the salon’s vintage chrome fixtures. Everyone laughed, and now everyone knows to keep their eyes peeled—and their heads turned—when visiting Tangerine Salon.

2. At dawn, when most salons are still closed, an early bird arrived at Tangerine Salon. The receptionist yawned and asked, ‘Are you sure you’re in the right place?’ ‘What time do you open?’ the early bird whispered. The receptionist stretched lazily and replied, ‘We usually start at nine.’ With a smile, she added, ‘But I guess we can make an exception for you today!’ And so began Tangerine Salon’s first ever pre-dawn appointment—a regular who insisted on getting his hair done before even coffee was an option.

3. At dawn, when most salons are still closed, an early bird arrived at Tangerine Salon. ‘I’ll take whatever you’ve got,’ she said to the surprised stylist. ‘Just don’t tell anyone.’ The stylist smiled and nodded, pulling out a dusty box from under the counter. 'We keep a few secrets here,' she whispered. The woman emerged later with a vibrant new hairdo, grinning like a kid on Christmas morning—and no one asked any questions. Not even her husband noticed the change until she suggested they try that new coffee shop down the street.

4. At dusk, when city streets quiet down, a delivery driver pulled up to Tangerine Salon and noticed something odd on the door: ‘Today’s special—your reflection free!’ The delivery driver cracked a smile, thinking it was some clever marketing trick. He opened the door, only to see his own face staring back at him from every mirror in the place. Startled, he quickly closed the door and ran off, leaving behind a salon filled with confused but amused beauticians. The next day, the sign changed: 'Special—no tip required!'
