About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while getting her hair done at Underground salon, an eight-year-old girl noticed something peculiar. The usually calm poodle next door started barking uncontrollably every time the stylist picked up a certain old-fashioned comb. Curious, she asked the stylist what was special about that comb. With a smile, the stylist replied, ‘Oh, that’s just Ollie’s way of saying hello.’ Turns out, Ollie, the poodle, had a thing for vintage combs and would greet anyone who used one with enthusiastic barks.

2. While waiting for her appointment at Underground, Sarah overheard a regular saying, ‘I swear I saw that same poodle outside twice today!’ Sarah raised an eyebrow and smiled politely. A few minutes later, she emerged from the salon with a new hairstyle—and a poodle of her own, which promptly ran out the door and into the street. A concerned delivery driver chased after it, muttering, ‘Now look what you’ve done!’

3. While picking up her usual Friday trim at Underground, Jane spotted something peculiar in the shop’s recycle bin—a mysterious envelope addressed to no one in particular. Curious, she opened it and found a crumpled note scribbled with: ‘Free haircut for the prettiest customer today!’ Turns out, it was from an anonymous admirer—likely just some friendly neighbor or delivery driver who thought Jane deserved a treat.

4. While waiting for her perm to set, a young woman heard an elderly gentleman muttering under his breath, ‘Finally, someone who knows how to braid properly.’ Smiling to herself, she glanced in the mirror and saw that indeed, her braids were perfect—just like Grandma used to make. When she finally left, the old man nodded approvingly as he watched her go, whispering, ‘Now that's what I call artistry.’
