About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was waiting for his appointment, he noticed something peculiar on the salon’s counter: an old, dusty comb with a handwritten note attached. Curious, he picked it up and read that whoever found it could leave their business card in exchange for a free haircut. Soon enough, people from around the neighborhood started dropping by just to get that mysterious free cut. A delivery driver left his company logo, a retiree drew a funny mustache on her card, and even the local vet included a photo of his dog. By lunchtime, the salon counter resembled a miniature art gallery—and everyone walked away smiling.

2. While getting her usual trim one day, a regular asked the stylist: ‘Do you ever wonder why every new client mentions that same old ghostly figure in the mirror?’ The stylist shrugged and smiled wryly. ‘Oh, that?’ she said. ‘It’s just our new cleaner, Mrs. Brown. She has a habit of peeking over my shoulder when I’m cutting hair.’ A laugh followed, and soon both were giggling like old friends.

3. One afternoon, as a regular was leaving after an especially long session with the stylist, she glanced down and saw something odd on the floor—an old, dusty keyring shaped like a tiny comb. Curious, she picked it up and noticed an engraving: ‘For Sarah, love Mom.’ Turned out, the stylist’s mom had worked there decades ago. The regular laughed, realizing her stylist might be related somehow. That day, Cutting Edge became more than just a salon—it felt like family.

4. At Cutting Edge salon, a small dog walked in through the front door one afternoon and began sniffing around the reception area. The staff were puzzled until they realized no one had brought any pets that day. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman entered the salon, scratching his head. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘did my little pooch run off here?’ The stylist smiled and pointed towards the reception area. Sure enough, there was the old guy’s terrier, wagging its tail and happily exploring. Everyone burst out laughing as the owner sheepishly admitted, ‘He must’ve followed me from across the street.’
