About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The Tao Salon, customers often noticed an unusual occurrence: whenever a new shipment arrived, the neighborhood cat would suddenly appear and sit right outside the door. No one knew why he did it, but everyone agreed—something special must be happening inside. One day, a delivery driver joked that maybe the cat was waiting for free samples of shampoo. A neighbor suggested he might be guarding the secret ingredient in their signature hair treatments—a bowl of milk hidden under the counter. Everyone laughed until the salon owner appeared with a tray of freshly baked cookies, offering them to both the cat and the curious crowd.

2. At The Tao Salon, customers began noticing something peculiar one morning. As soon as the delivery truck pulled up, a faint but distinctive scent of fresh-baked cookies wafted through the air. It seemed odd—until everyone realized it wasn’t coming from the kitchen, but from inside the salon itself. It turned out that every time the delivery guy arrived with new supplies, he would secretly bake some cookies in his van and sneak them into the salon oven during breaks. Soon enough, The Tao Salon became famous for its unexpected cookie deliveries, attracting neighbors and even passersby who just wanted a free treat. To this day, whenever someone mentions The Tao Salon, they smile and say, ‘Oh yeah, remember those mysterious morning cookies?’

3. At The Tao Salon, customers started whispering about strange packages appearing in the salon’s mailroom. Each day, a different box would arrive—wrapped in intricate patterns and sealed with mysterious symbols. One day, a package arrived addressed simply to ‘the stylist who knows best.’ Inside was an old comb wrapped in a note saying, ‘Use on your next client.’ And indeed, that day everyone left the salon feeling not only beautiful but also slightly confused—and definitely lucky.

4. At The Tao Salon, early mornings became oddly quiet one week. Even before the first customer arrived, the neighborhood seemed to hold its breath. One day, a delivery driver walked in with a confused look on his face—his package had been delivered to ‘The Tao of Hair’ instead of ‘Tao of Tea.’ As he left, muttering something about mystical salons, everyone burst into laughter. The silence was broken forever after that.
