Plaza Salon

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a little girl waited for her mom inside Plaza Salon, she noticed something strange: every time the stylist used a certain bottle of shampoo, the goldfish in the waiting room tank would start swimming erratically. The fish never did that before or after. Finally, someone asked the stylist about it, and she laughed: ‘Oh, that’s just old Mr. Goldfish. He hates when I use this citrus-scented shampoo because he thinks it smells like his old pond!’ Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever anyone mentioned Mr. Goldfish, they’d say, “He must be having another one of his days today.”

2. A delivery driver pulled up outside Plaza Salon one afternoon, completely oblivious to the curious stares from passersby. As he opened the back of his truck, something unusual caught everyone’s eye. Suddenly, a large box fell out and rolled towards the salon door, revealing a life-sized cardboard cutout of a famous movie star. The delivery driver just shrugged and drove off, leaving behind a crowd of stunned onlookers and an amused owner who decided to keep the prop as a conversation piece. Since then, Plaza Salon has become known for its unexpected decorations.

3. A few years ago, an elderly gentleman walked into Plaza Salon and asked curiously, ‘Do you ever notice how our mirrors never show any dust?’ The stylist looked up thoughtfully and replied, ‘Of course not, sir—we polish them every day.’ The old man nodded knowingly, then said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘I suppose that’s why I always leave here feeling so refreshed!’ And he left, leaving behind a puzzled but amused staff.

4. In the dead of winter, when Plaza Salon’s windows were fogged with steam, a neighbor stopped by with a curious tale. He claimed that every night at precisely midnight, the lights in the salon flickered on their own. One night, a delivery driver passing by heard soft laughter coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw nothing but empty chairs and mirrors. The next morning, everyone agreed it must be the ghosts of former stylists having a late-night party. Until, that is, the owner confessed she’d been testing out her new sound system after hours.
