About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their weekly cuts and styles, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the store’s intercom. ‘Attention, everyone,’ it said. ‘If you hear your hair growing longer while you’re here today, don’t worry—it’s just Blakes being Blakes.’ Soon enough, a regular customer exclaimed, 'I can feel my hair getting thicker!' A delivery driver chuckled, 'Guess I’ll be picking up more shampoo than usual today.' Even the neighbor, who always came in for a trim, whispered, 'Maybe I should grow out my beard after all...' The intercom clicked again: 'And remember, everyone—at Blakes, beauty is our middle name!'
2. While waiting for her perm to set, a customer wondered aloud if the stylist’s shampoo smelled like freshly baked cookies. The stylist laughed and confessed that she sometimes added a touch of vanilla extract to her shampoo for an extra treat. Soon enough, the whole salon was filled with the sweet scent, making everyone feel like they were getting their hair done in a cozy bakery. A delivery driver even stopped by later to ask if he could buy some 'cookie-scented' shampoo—much to everyone's amusement.
3. At dawn, when most salons are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Blakes Hair & Beauty with a mysterious package. The receptionist accepted it without question, but soon strange things started happening—haircuts lasting twice as long, unexpected curls appearing on straight-haired clients, and mirrors reflecting not just faces, but entire landscapes. Finally, one morning, a regular walked in complaining of an unusual full head of waves. Turned out his reflection was now showing him standing next to a smiling receptionist. Blakes had become a salon where reality got tangled up in beauty treatments—and everyone loved it.
4. At dusk, while a neighbor watered her garden, she noticed something peculiar happening inside Blakes Hair & Beauty. Suddenly, the door flew open and an excited hairdresser emerged, waving a pair of scissors in one hand and a colorful scarf in another. ‘Quick!’ she shouted, “We’ve got a runway show to prepare for!’ The neighbor blinked, then smiled, realizing it was just another day at Blakes Hair & Beauty—where fashion shows could break out anytime.
