About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning in downtown Chicago, a delivery driver pulled up outside Pretty Noveau salon. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something peculiar: the sign above the entrance seemed to move ever so slightly with each passing car. Curious, he approached the sign, which suddenly swayed like an old friend greeting him. Startled, he jumped back into his truck and drove away, leaving behind only a note on the salon door: ‘Dear Pretty Noveau, your sign waves hello!’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Pretty Noveau with a crate of rare vintage shampoos. As he unlocked the door, he heard an unfamiliar voice whispering from inside the salon. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty chairs and mirrors reflecting back at him. ‘Must be the wind,’ he thought, but then the voice whispered again, much closer. Turns out it was just a regular customer practicing her new French accent in front of the mirror. The end.

3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Pretty Noveau. As he stepped out, he noticed something peculiar on the passenger seat—a small envelope addressed to no one in particular. Curious, he opened it and found only a crumpled note reading: ‘For your next big style—pretty noveau!’ Turns out, it was from the stylist inside, who’d stayed late working on a special client’s look. The delivery driver grinned, thinking how pretty indeed was that noveau twist on his usual Sunday routine.

4. In the middle of a summer heatwave, a delivery driver pulled up outside Pretty Noveau with a crate full of ice. As he stepped out, he noticed an old lady peering through her window across the street. The old lady waved frantically, pointing at the crate. Curious, the driver opened it and found nothing but handfuls of glittering confetti. Turning around sheepishly, he saw his colleague from Pretty Noveau waving back with a mischievous smile, explaining that it was part of their new promotional stunt for the upcoming festival.
