About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while getting her hair styled at The Clipper House, an elderly lady noticed something strange. Her small dog kept sniffing and barking at the wall behind the stylist's chair. Curious, she asked the groomer what it was. 'Oh, that's just an old painting,' he replied dismissively. But every day after that, the same thing happened—no matter who sat in the chair or which stylist worked. Finally, one day a young artist walked into the shop. Upon hearing the story, she said, ‘That’s not a painting—it’s a secret door!’ Sure enough, when they opened it, there was a hidden room filled with vintage toys. Now, whenever someone gets their hair done, they also get to browse through these treasures.

2. While waiting for her turn at The Clipper House, a young woman noticed something peculiar in one of the salon’s display cases—a tiny, intricately carved wooden bird that seemed out of place among the usual hair accessories. As she picked it up, she felt a strange tingle run down her arm. Suddenly, the little bird started chirping and flapped its wings! Everyone in the salon burst into laughter—except for the bird, who just kept pecking at the nearest stylist's head. Turned out, it was a practical joke from a regular who’d had too many cups of coffee that morning.

3. While having her hair done at The Clipper House, a regular kept hearing strange noises coming from the back room. Every time he asked the stylist, she would just smile and say it was nothing important. Finally, one day, the noise became so loud that even the stylist couldn’t ignore it anymore. She opened the door with a big smile and announced: ‘Oh, that’s just our new vacuum cleaner!’ The regular looked puzzled but laughed, realizing it had been an old joke between them. Since then, whenever there were strange sounds, everyone just grinned and carried on with their appointments.

4. On a particularly humid afternoon in July, a delivery driver pulled up to The Clipper House with a box of special shampoo. As he opened the door, a strange scent wafted out—something between fresh-cut grass and old books. Curious, he peeked inside only to discover rows upon rows of tiny bottles labeled with names like ‘Morning Dew’ and ‘Whispers of Spring.’ Suddenly, an elderly gentleman walked in, complaining about his itchy scalp. The delivery guy offered him a bottle marked 'Calming Breeze'. After using it, the man exclaimed that it was the best product ever—and promptly fell asleep on the chair, snoring gently. Everyone burst into laughter, realizing that maybe the mysterious scent wasn’t just for show.
