About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning in New Orleans, a delivery driver pulled up to Sola Salon, noticing something strange: the usually bustling street was eerily quiet. As he approached the salon doors, he heard soft laughter coming from inside. Curious, he pushed open the door and saw Lauren Coulter laughing with an unexpected guest—a neighborhood cat that had taken a liking to her perfumed shampoo. ‘Meow,’ purred the feline as it sauntered out, leaving behind only a whiff of citrus and a smile on everyone’s face.
2. While waiting for her haircut one afternoon, a regular overheard an unusual conversation between Lauren and her assistant. ‘Did you know,’ whispered Lauren, ‘that every time I use this special shampoo from France, our next client’s day turns out exactly as planned?’ A few days later, a delivery driver mentioned that his package arrived on time after visiting Sola Salon. ‘Coincidence?’ asked Lauren with a twinkle in her eye. As she finished washing another customer’s hair, she murmured softly, “I think not.” The regular chuckled, knowing there was something magical—and maybe just a little bit mystical—about that salon.
3. While getting ready for work one morning, a neighbor noticed something strange outside Sola Salon. 'Why is there a small army of bees swarming around Lauren’s window?' she wondered aloud. Curious, she peered closer and saw that Lauren was calmly combing her fingers through the buzzing insects as if they were just another part of her daily routine. By lunchtime, the salon had become a spectacle, attracting everyone from a regular customer to a delivery driver who stopped his bike mid-ring and asked, ‘Is it always like this?’ With a smile, Lauren replied, “Only on Wednesdays.”
4. While getting ready for work one morning, a neighbor noticed a peculiar announcement over the salon’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your stylist Lauren has been detained by a particularly tangled knot of hair.’ The voice on the intercom continued calmly, "Please wait patiently while our esteemed stylist untangles herself." Moments later, the door opened, and Lauren emerged with an expression of relief, her hands covered in hair clippings. She apologized warmly, explaining it was just a particularly stubborn client from last night—'a regular,' she added with a smile.
