About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet mornings of downtown Portland, when coffee shops were just opening and most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Simply Ravishing salon. The sky outside was an unusual shade of lavender, as if someone had spilled paint on the clouds. The driver knocked gently on the door, but no one answered. Curious, he peered inside through the window and saw a stylist frantically trying to style a pile of feathers that looked suspiciously like a neighbor’s parrot. ‘Simply Ravishing,’ indeed,” he thought with a smile, and drove off, leaving behind a note reading, ‘Next time, maybe try the bird-friendly salon down the block.’

2. In the dimly lit hallway of Simply Ravishing salon, a regular customer noticed something peculiar one afternoon. As she adjusted her hair in the mirror after a trim, she heard an unexpected voice over the intercom: 'And remember, gentlemen—your hair is not a battlefield!' Curious, our regular turned around and saw no one. Then, from behind her, came another voice: ‘Ma’am, your curls are simply ravishing today!’ Startled, she laughed and realized it was just the friendly receptionist. The salon ended up adding a new sign: ‘Simply Ravishing—where even your hair has good days!’

3. In the dimly lit hallway of Simply Ravishing salon, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘Please knock twice if you’re not a hairstylist.’ Curious, he knocked gently twice. The door opened with a smile from a stylist inside: 'Welcome! Just wanted to make sure you're not here for just any old haircut.' The delivery driver laughed and explained his business. From then on, whenever someone new arrived, they too would knock twice—just in case.

4. In the dimly lit hallway of Simply Ravishing salon, a small dog nervously approached the open door, sniffing curiously as if sensing something out of place. Inside, a regular stylist was deep in conversation with a delivery driver, both oblivious to the canine intruder. The little dog trotted right up to them, tail wagging, until it accidentally knocked over a bottle of shampoo. With a startled yelp from everyone, the dog scurried away, leaving behind a puddle and a room full of laughter.
