The Chair

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the stylist, ‘Why does your chair never match anyone’s?’ The stylist smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Because my chair is the only one who always matches ME.' The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, realizing that sometimes life's best secrets are right in front of you.

2. One day, while customers were getting their hair done, an announcement came over the salon’s intercom: ‘Please be advised that due to an urgent shortage of chairs, our waiting area will now resemble a modern art installation.’ Soon enough, everyone found themselves sitting on anything from old suitcases to recycling bins, with one particularly creative customer using a nearby plant pot as her throne. The neighbor even brought his own chair—an ancient wooden number he’d rescued from his garage—and claimed it was the most comfortable seat in the place. By the time they finally got some actual chairs back, everyone had formed such strong bonds during their unconventional seating arrangement that they decided to hold monthly salon meetings, complete with voting rights for each chair.

3. In the early hours of dawn, when most salons are quiet, a delivery driver knocked on The Chair’s door. He held a box labeled ‘Special Order’ and said, ‘I’ve been told you have a very particular clientele.’ The owner opened the door cautiously, and after a brief exchange, invited him inside. In the dim light, they saw an old chair sitting in the corner, its arms adorned with tiny mirrors. The delivery driver whispered, 'They say it gives perfect cuts every time.' The owner shook his head, smiled, and replied, 'It seems our mysterious customer has finally found us.'

4. In the early hours of dawn, when most salons are quiet, a delivery driver knocked on The Chair’s door and asked with a puzzled look, 'Why is there always a different colored chair inside?' Inside, the owner smiled sheepishly. ‘Each week,’ she explained, ‘we change the color for our regulars—it keeps things interesting!’ The delivery driver nodded, now understanding why he’d seen red, green, and even purple chairs over time.
