A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the hairstylist: ‘Why do you always see the same old lady outside your shop?’ She replied, ‘Oh, that’s just Mrs. Jenkins—she waits here for her granddaughter to finish.’ But everyone knew Mrs. Jenkins never had any grandchildren. Finally, someone asked Mrs. Jenkins directly, and she smiled, saying, 'I’m waiting for my grandson—the one who delivers our newspapers!' Turned out he was always too shy to introduce himself.'

2. A regular customer sat in his usual chair one afternoon, humming softly as he waited for his trim. Suddenly, the mirror above him started to whisper something strange. The man leaned closer, trying to make out the words. ‘You missed a spot,’ the reflection said with a sly smile. Confused, he looked down—only to realize his stylist had fallen asleep on her station. A delivery driver chuckled from behind him, saying, “Guess your hair’s been trimmed by the best today!”

3. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up outside Faded Times and noticed something peculiar—a faint humming sound seemed to be coming from inside the salon. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old radio playing softly in the corner. Inside, the stylist was humming along, completely oblivious to the world around her. The delivery driver knocked gently on the door, startling both the stylist and a regular customer who had fallen asleep mid-bob-cut. 'What time is it?' asked the stylist, rubbing her eyes. 'It's morning,' replied the relieved delivery man, 'and you’ve been cutting hair for hours!'

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Faded Times and heard an eerie humming coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw the reflection of someone cutting hair—only there was no one else around. The delivery driver knocked on the door but got no response. Deciding to investigate further, he walked in and found an old mirror hanging crookedly on the wall. Suddenly, a regular customer turned around with a smile, saying, ‘Finally, you’re here! My hair’s been itching for hours!’
