About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shape’s salon, a regular complained one day: ‘Why does every hairstyle here look like it belongs on a cereal box?’ Since then, customers swear their cuts resemble famous breakfast brands. One morning, a delivery driver walked in and asked for his usual cut. When he left, everyone agreed he looked like Cap’n Crunch. The next customer was so amused she demanded her hair be styled like Froot Loops. Soon, Shapes became known for its cereal-box-certified hairstyles—some resembling Lucky Charms, others Captain Honey Nut Cheerios. Even the neighborhood kids stopped by just to get their own version of Apple Jacks or Trix.

2. At Shapes salon, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. As he parked outside, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside—like someone singing in a shower, but without water running. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only a stylist cutting hair to an empty chair, softly whistling along with some old tune. Turned out, it was just another day at Shapes—a neighbor’s dog had accidentally dialed the wrong number on his owner’s phone, playing a loop of their favorite song.

3. At Shapes salon, a sign above the entrance read: ‘Today’s special: haircuts that grow on their own!’ A curious customer asked the stylist, who replied with a smile: ‘Trust us, they do.’ Soon enough, customers started noticing strange things growing out of their scalps—miniature pineapples, tiny sunflowers, even little mushrooms! The owner calmly explained it was just part of the ‘special treatment.’ One day, an exasperated neighbor walked in complaining her hair now had a mind of its own and kept greeting passersby as ‘Hello, my friend!’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing Shapes Salon might be more magical than they’d imagined.

4. At dawn, when most salons are closed, a delivery driver pulled up outside Shapes. The streetlights cast eerie shadows on the empty sidewalks, but inside, an unusual sight awaited him. Inside, a regular was getting his hair styled while humming an old tune. Startled by the sudden arrival, he asked the driver for directions to the nearest coffee shop. Turns out, they were in the same building! Since then, early morning deliveries always include a complimentary cup of joe.
