About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, when Albuquerque streets were unusually quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Alux Hair Salon with an extra box of supplies. As he opened the door, he noticed something odd: the salon’s usual neon sign had dimmed and now glowed softly in a deep purple hue. Inside, everything was eerily still—even the usually chatty receptionist was absent. The delivery driver cautiously approached the back room where soft music played. Peering inside, he saw a regular customer fast asleep, her head resting on a pile of magazines, while the stylist quietly worked on another client's hairdo. 'Morning mist or no,' whispered the stylist, ‘some days you just gotta take it easy.'

2. At closing time one night, a regular noticed an unexpected message scrawled on the bathroom mirror in lipstick: ‘Your next haircut is free if you come back tomorrow.’ The next day, curious customers started showing up, each hoping for their complimentary cut. By evening, the salon was buzzing with laughter and goodwill as everyone shared stories of their visit. Alux just smiled and said, 'Sometimes, a little lipstick magic brings people together.'

3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, someone left a mysterious package outside the salon's door. A delivery driver, puzzled by its odd shape and weight, brought it inside for safekeeping. Curious, one of the stylists opened it cautiously—inside was a giant bundle of yarn, with a note reading: ‘For your creative clients.’ Turns out, a neighbor had knitted a special surprise for Alux’s boho-chic customers.

4. At dawn, a jogger passing by Alux Hair Salon stopped in surprise. ‘What’s with all these tiny hats?’ he wondered aloud, noticing dozens of miniature headwear scattered around. Curious, he bent down and picked up one of the little caps. Suddenly, an elderly lady poked her head out from behind the salon door and exclaimed, 'Oh no! My granddaughter's new creation—she's experimenting with miniaturized hairstyles!' The jogger laughed it off, realizing that Alux Hair Salon was just another quirky local place where imagination ran wild.
