A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for her usual appointment, an elderly lady overheard a delivery driver muttering under his breath, ‘This place is cursed.’ Curious, she asked why, and he replied, ‘Ever since they started playing that old vinyl record every day at exactly noon, everyone who gets their haircut here starts humming the same tune!’ The old lady decided to investigate on her next visit. To her surprise, when she left, she found herself whistling a cheerful little tune she’d never heard before. From then on, whenever anyone entered Maeda Salon, they couldn’t help but join in—a harmonious chorus of unexpected melodies filled the air. It became known as the ‘Maeda Salon Choir,’ bringing neighbors together for impromptu sing-alongs.
2. One day, a little girl walked into Maeda Salon with her mother. As she sat down in the waiting area, she noticed something odd—a small bird had flown into the salon and was flitting around frantically. Everyone watched in amazement as the tiny creature zipped past hairstylists' stations and even perched briefly on a mirror before finally escaping through an open window. Finally, after what seemed like ages, the bird found its way out of the salon. The little girl giggled, saying it looked like the bird was having more fun than anyone there. A nearby delivery driver chuckled and remarked, 'Maybe next time it'll get a haircut too!'
3. One afternoon, as a regular was getting his usual trim, he noticed something peculiar in the reflection of the mirror. "Hey, In the mirror’s reflection, he saw what looked like an old lady waving frantically from behind the stylist's shoulder. Startled, he turned around—and there was no one there. When he mentioned it later that day to another customer, she swore she’d seen the same thing earlier too. From then on, whenever anyone left their phone unattended for even a second, everyone assumed ‘Maeda Grandma’ had come back to retrieve it.
4. While picking up her daughter from the salon one afternoon, a mom spotted an unusual item in the parking lot—a vintage hairbrush wrapped in a mysterious note. Curious, she took it inside and showed it to the receptionist. The receptionist smiled mysteriously and said, ‘Oh, that’s our new weekly tradition—we leave little surprises for our loyal customers.’ The mom laughed, realizing it was just another quirky Maeda Salon custom, making her visit even more memorable.
