About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Above Ground Hairdresser, a regular always arrived right after closing. One night, the stylist heard an unusual voice over the intercom: ‘Your haircut is ready—just bring your own comb.’ Curious, the stylist peeked out and saw nobody. The voice came again: 'Comb’s in the bathroom!' Turns out it was just a delivery driver who’d left his toothbrush behind. A regular joke among them now.

2. At Above Ground Hairdresser, customers often noticed strange messages appearing on the mirror above the sink. One morning, a neighbor asked the stylist: ‘Who’s been leaving these cryptic notes?’ ‘Nobody knows,’ replied the stylist with a smile. ‘But I suspect it’s our new delivery driver, who always leaves mysterious doodles in his packages.’ The neighbor shook their head and laughed: ‘Next time he’ll leave a note saying “your hair looks great!”’

3. At Above Ground Hairdresser, early mornings were rare but not unheard of. One foggy dawn, a delivery driver parked outside and heard soft laughter from inside. The door was ajar, revealing an empty salon and a single chair facing away from him. Curious, he tiptoed closer and saw in the mirror behind the chair his own reflection—combing someone else’s imaginary hair. Startled, he jumped back, knocking over a bottle of shampoo that rolled under the counter with a loud splash. A sleepy voice from the backroom said, ‘Hey, you’re late again!’

4. At Above Ground Hairdresser, patrons occasionally overhear whispered conversations in empty rooms. One day, a customer asked curiously: ‘Who’s that talking behind us?’ The stylist smiled knowingly and replied, 'Oh, that's just Mr. Johnson from next door. He often drops by for an unexpected trim.' The customer laughed nervously but relaxed as she realized it was nothing more than a friendly neighborhood habit.}
