About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Fade City, there’s an old hairdresser shop where everyone goes for that special something. One morning, a delivery driver asked the owner: ‘Why do your mirrors always show one extra person?’ The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, 'That’s because in here, everyone sees their best self.' The delivery driver nodded thoughtfully before realizing he was now standing next to himself—an exact duplicate with identical scruffy beard and coffee stain on shirt. Everyone laughed as the mirror swapped them back.

2. At Fade City Hairdresser, customers often notice something peculiar when they leave: their dog seems to be wearing a new hairstyle. Upon closer inspection, it turns out that the stylist had accidentally given Fido a mohawk or a wild afro—completely unaware of the canine client in the mirror. The embarrassed owner would sheepishly explain, 'It’s not my dog, I swear!' while everyone around them laughed and exchanged knowing glances.

3. At Fade City Hairdresser, patrons noticed something strange after leaving—an unexpected guest would always appear in the lobby mirror. A little girl, no older than five, kept smiling and waving back at them from behind the reflection. One day, a delivery driver looked into the mirror and saw the girl. Smiling broadly, he waved enthusiastically—and promptly dropped his package of donuts everywhere. The girl giggled and picked up one, taking a bite before waving again. Everyone agreed it was worth coming just for her sweet smile.

4. At Fade City Hairdresser, a regular noticed something odd one morning—a small envelope had been left on the counter with his name scribbled on it. Inside was a handwritten note: ‘Your haircut is ready—come get it or else I’ll give it away!’ The regular laughed and walked in, only to find his perfectly styled hair gone—and replaced with a neon pink mohawk. Turns out, Fade City also did pranks.’
