About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Bishops Hairdresser, customers often noticed an unusual occurrence late at night. A small terrier would dash into the salon, its tail wagging frantically, as if drawn by some invisible magnet. The staff would smile and gently usher it out, but every evening, without fail, the little dog returned. One evening, a delivery driver mentioned seeing the dog through the window while waiting for his package. ‘She looks like my old mutt back home,’ he said, smiling. Soon enough, the dog recognized him too, jumping right onto his lap and refusing to budge until he left. Since then, whenever he drops off supplies, she greets him with unabashed affection—much to everyone’s amusement.
2. At Bishops Hairdresser, one day a regular asked curiously: ‘Why does my hair always look softer after visiting here?’ The stylist whispered mysteriously, ‘Because I whisper a special incantation over your head while you’re asleep.’ The customer raised an eyebrow but didn’t ask for details. After all, who wouldn’t trust someone who makes their hair feel like silk?’
3. At Bishops Hairdresser, every morning around dawn, a delivery driver would arrive with a mysterious box. No one knew what it contained or why only he could carry it. One day, an excited neighbor burst in and whispered, ‘I saw him open it—there were just donuts inside!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that Bishops Hairdresser had been getting free breakfast all along.
4. At Bishops Hairdresser, every afternoon around closing time, a neighbor could be seen leaving through the back door with a mysterious box under their arm. It turned out that the mysterious boxes contained nothing more sinister than freshly baked pies from Mrs. Jenkins next door. Every day she’d pop in after her morning baking and discreetly slip one to the hairdresser’s staff as they were locking up. To this day, locals still joke that ‘Bishop’s’ secret recipe for success is actually Mrs. Jenkins’ apple pie.
