About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for her turn in Hector’s chair, little Maria noticed something peculiar. As she watched from behind the curtain, an elderly gentleman kept whispering into his phone, ‘Yes, I see it too… it looks like a unicorn.’ Finally, when it was Maria’s turn, Hector asked her what style she wanted today. She shyly replied, 'Just like that unicorn,' pointing towards the old man. To everyone's surprise, including Maria herself, Hector nodded knowingly and said, 'A perfect choice!' The next day, word spread quickly around town—'Get your hair done at Hector’s if you want to look like a unicorn!'

2. While picking up supplies one day, a delivery driver spotted an old, dusty suitcase sitting abandoned on the shop’s loading dock. Curious, he opened it to find… nothing but a pile of ancient newspapers and an old photo album filled with faded images of long-forgotten celebrities. As he flipped through the pages, he stumbled upon a picture of a mustached man with a curious expression. ‘Who’s that?’ asked Hector, leaning over his shoulder. The delivery driver shrugged, replying, ‘A regular customer from twenty years ago, I guess.’ And just like that, the mystery became part of the barbershop’s charm—an anonymous celebrity visiting every Thursday for a haircut.

3. Early one foggy morning, as customers shuffled into Hector's shop, a neighbor stopped by with an odd request. "I found this strange box outside my door last night," she whispered, pointing to a mysterious package wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, Hector carefully unwrapped it, revealing a dusty old comb and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘For your barbershop—maybe for Mayra?’ The group burst out laughing, realizing it was just another prank from their friendly neighborhood practical joker.’

4. At dawn, when most shops were still shuttered, a delivery driver pulled up outside Hector and Mayra’s barbershop. The early-morning silence was broken by a soft hum coming from inside—a sound no one had heard before. Curious, he peered through the window and saw Hector, humming softly as he worked on Mayra’s hair with deft hands. Startled by the sudden light, Mayra giggled, ‘What are you doing here so early?’ The delivery driver stammered an apology, explaining he mistook their shop for a café. With that, Hector winked and said, “Next time, try our new breakfast special—comes with a free haircut!”
