About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an ordinary autumn morning in downtown Portland when a delivery driver pulled up to Adonai’s Beauty Salon. The sun had barely peeked above the rooftops, and the streets were still quiet. As he approached the front door, he noticed something strange—all the mirrors inside seemed to be whispering his name. He cleared his throat and called out, ‘Hello? Is anyone there?’ Suddenly, one mirror giggled softly. Confused, he turned around—and saw another delivery guy grinning back at him from behind the counter. Turns out it was just an old prank between neighbors.’

2. At Adonai’s Beauty Salon, a regular customer complained loudly one day: ‘I keep seeing someone watching me from outside!’ The stylist smiled and replied, ‘That must be our new neighbor, he moved in last week.’ Later that evening, while applying makeup to an elderly lady, she suddenly exclaimed, ‘Oh no, there he is again!’ The stylist laughed softly and said, ‘Don’t worry ma’am, it’s just our friendly neighborhood delivery driver who delivers snacks every Tuesday.’

3. At Adonai’s Beauty Salon, a regular asked curiously one day: ‘Why do I always see my reflection smiling back at me from the mirror?’ The stylist smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Because you're always wearing that same charming smile when you come in!' The regular nodded knowingly, realizing he’d been unwittingly flashing his pearly whites ever since his last visit to Adonai’s.

4. At Adonai’s Beauty Salon, a little girl whispered excitedly to her mother one afternoon: ‘Mama, why does that lady’s hair move on its own?’ The mother smiled and leaned closer, whispering back, ‘Darling, it’s not her hair—it’s just her long ponytail waving in the air conditioning.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as she watched another customer with an especially fluffy perm. ‘But Mama,’ she said, ‘why do some people look like they’re wearing clouds?’
