About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. On an unusually foggy morning in downtown Chicago, a delivery driver pulled up to Hello Sugar. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something strange: the mist seemed to part around the beauty salon, revealing its warm golden glow through the haze. As he approached the door, he heard soft music and laughter coming from inside—oddly enough, it sounded like someone was singing along to ABBA’s ‘Dancing Queen.’ The driver knocked on the door, and when it opened, he found himself face-to-face with a smiling receptionist who asked, ‘Can I help you?’ He replied, ‘Just delivering some supplies,’ but couldn’t help adding, ‘I feel like I’m intruding on a party!’
2. In the quiet neighborhood of Brooklyn, a regular customer asked the beautician at Hello Sugar: ‘Do you ever wonder if our smiles are just mirrors of each other’s?’ Since then, some customers swear they’ve seen their neighbors’ reflections smiling back at them from strangers’ faces. One day, a delivery driver mentioned it to his friend over coffee, and soon everyone in the block was talking about it. Then one evening, while getting her hair done, an older lady whispered to the stylist, ‘I think I saw your reflection smiling at me from my own granddaughter!’ The whole salon burst into laughter, realizing that maybe we’re not so different after all.
3. At night, when the streetlights dimmed, a soft humming started near Hello Sugar. It grew louder each evening, like a distant choir practicing late into the night. One evening, a delivery driver parked his bike outside and heard the humming too. Curious, he peeked inside and saw nothing but empty rooms. Smiling, he thought it was just the air conditioning playing tricks on him—until he noticed the sign glowing softly in the hallway: ‘Hello, Sugar! Have a Sweet Day.’
4. In the small town of Santa Fe, a curious tourist entered Hello Sugar and asked the beautician, ‘Do you ever feel like your makeup brushes are watching you?’ The beautician smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Only when I’m applying foundation to your cheeks.' The tourist left, thinking maybe it was just him, until he saw his reflection in the window—his own brush seemed to wink back.
