About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular walked into Painted and asked the stylist, ‘Do you ever wonder why our customers always leave with such big smiles?’ The stylist thought for a moment and replied, ‘Well, maybe they just love their new hairstyle!’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Or perhaps they’re smiling because every time they come in, I accidentally paint their nose red.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the next customer—a delivery driver who promptly ordered a coffee to calm his nerves.

2. A neighborhood kid was drawing on the sidewalk outside Painted one afternoon when he noticed something peculiar in the reflection of the shop’s window. He squinted closer and saw his own face smiling back at him—except it had a wild mane of hair and an expression so enthusiastic that passersby started laughing. Turns out, while waiting for his haircut, he’d accidentally drawn himself into the stylist’s latest masterpiece on the wall behind the chair.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Painted early one morning with a mischievous smile. He jumped out of his truck and quickly scribbled something on the window before rushing inside. Inside, he found the owner just finishing her morning coffee. With a sly grin, he whispered something in her ear, causing her eyes to twinkle. Later that day, when customers arrived, they noticed their haircuts seemed slightly… mismatched. It turned out the delivery driver had drawn invisible mustaches on everyone’s photos! Everyone laughed it off as just another quirky Painted tradition.

4. A customer once asked the stylist, 'Can you make my hair look like it’s been painted?' The stylist raised an eyebrow but agreed to try. The stylist looked puzzled for a moment, then grinned and said, ‘Sure thing!’ She picked up some bright blue dye and started painting intricate patterns on his hair. When she was done, he stood in front of the mirror, admiring the vibrant swirls that now resembled a Jackson Pollock masterpiece. His friends burst out laughing, but he declared proudly, ‘Painted, just how I wanted!’
