About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of a typical Saturday in Portland, Oregon, a delivery driver pulled up to Unique Hair salon. The street was usually quiet at that hour, but today something felt off. As he approached the front door, he heard soft laughter coming from inside—laughter unlike anything he'd ever heard before. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw two women with wildly different hairstyles giggling over a mirror. One had long flowing locks that seemed to float like seaweed, while the other sported an afro so big it looked like a small cloud. ‘What on earth is going on here?’ he wondered aloud. Turns out, Unique Hair offered not just haircuts but also a weekly ‘Style Swap’ where customers swapped their looks for fun. The delivery driver left smiling, thinking maybe Portland really did have its own special kind of magic.

2. At midnight, when Unique Hair salon’s neon sign glowed like an alien beacon, a delivery driver swerved into the parking lot. He had just received an unusual package marked ‘DO NOT OPEN UNTIL DARK.’ Curious, he opened it—inside was a small box wrapped in black velvet. With trembling hands, he unwrapped it and found a pair of scissors glowing softly. The next morning, everyone in town sported new hairstyles, courtesy of the mysterious midnight visitor from Unique Hair.

3. At dawn, when Unique Hair was just opening its doors for the day, a small dog ran into the salon lobby, tail wagging wildly. The owner, puzzled but amused, watched as the pup approached the mirror and began grooming itself with intense concentration. Suddenly, an old lady walked in, startled by the sight of the dog. ‘What on earth is going on here?’ she asked. The owner smiled and replied, ‘Just our morning routine!’ The dog finished his grooming, yawned, and trotted out, leaving behind only a few stray hairs on the floor.

4. At dusk, when Unique Hair was preparing to close for the night, a delivery driver accidentally left behind a mysterious box marked ‘DO NOT OPEN UNTIL CLOSED’. Employees ignored it until they heard a voice crackling over the intercom: ‘Please don’t leave without me…’ Curious, one employee opened the box just as the last customer left. Out popped a tiny, grumpy cat who hissed and demanded, 'Who let you people shut up shop without me?' Turns out, it was the neighborhood stray that frequented their waiting area. The employees named her Pixie and now she’s the unofficial mascot of Unique Hair.
