About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up outside Salon 1-2-3 one morning and noticed something strange. ‘Hey,’ he called out, ‘your sign looks like it’s winking!’ The salon owner emerged, rubbing her eyes. ‘Oh no!’ she exclaimed, realizing what was happening. She quickly adjusted the neon sign, which promptly stopped blinking. The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll be back when you’re wide awake!’

2. A customer walked into Salon 1-2-3 one day and asked the stylist, ‘Do you ever get customers who suddenly change their hair color while they’re getting a cut?’ The stylist shrugged and replied, ‘Not yet.’ Suddenly, an old lady shuffled in, sat down, and said, ‘I want my hair done like Marilyn Monroe!’ Before anyone could react, her hair turned bright red—matching her outfit perfectly. The whole salon burst out laughing, including the stylist, who exclaimed, ‘Welcome to Salon 1-2-3, ma’am! We specialize in unexpected transformations.’

3. One morning, as customers were settling in for their weekly haircuts, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the salon’s intercom. ‘Attention, everyone,’ it said. ‘If you hear your hair growing longer while here, don’t worry—we’re just testing a new growth serum!’ Soon enough, one regular complained that his hair was getting too long, and another delivery driver asked if he could get a trim instead. The stylist laughed and assured them everything was normal—just part of the test. By lunchtime, though, the entire neighborhood had heard about Salon 1-2-3's unique experiment, and people flocked in with curious smiles.

4. While getting her usual trim, a regular whispered to the stylist, ‘I swear I saw someone combing their hair in the mirror behind us.’ The stylist smiled and replied, ‘That’s just Mr. Reflection—he’s been hanging out here since opening day.’ As she left, another customer—a delivery driver—nodded towards the mirror and asked curiously, ‘Who’s that tall guy always staring at me?’ The stylist giggled, ‘Oh, that’s Mr. Reflection checking his angles again!’
