Studio 11

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Studio 11’s neon sign flickered on, a regular noticed something strange. Every Tuesday, right after closing, a soft humming sound would drift through the alley behind the salon. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old man watering potted plants in the shadows. Turns out, it was just the owner tending his secret herb garden for special clients. The regular left with a new respect for Studio 11—and a free sample of lavender shampoo.

2. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up outside Studio 11 with a box full of surprises. As he unlocked his truck, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the salon. Curious, he cracked open the box and found nothing but old newspapers, dusty mannequin hair, and an ancient comb. The humming grew louder, almost like laughter. Turning around, he saw an elderly lady smiling from behind the counter—she was the original owner, still working part-time after all these years. ‘Welcome,’ she said warmly. ‘We’ve been waiting for you.’

3. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Studio 11 with a box. As he reached for the door handle, he felt a sudden chill and heard an old voice whispering his name. The driver looked around nervously but saw no one. He shrugged it off as stress from the early hour and opened the door. Inside, he found the usual quiet of a salon before dawn—until he overheard an old lady muttering about her new hairstyle. Turns out, she was just a regular customer who’d been waiting for her appointment. The delivery driver laughed it off, finished his job, and drove away, never realizing that the whisper had been nothing more than an early-morning prank by Studio 11’s friendly receptionist.

4. One day, after leaving Studio 11, a little girl ran home excitedly, pointing at her reflection in the window. ‘Mama,’ she said, ‘why does my hair look like it has tiny stars inside?’ Her mother smiled and gently explained, ‘Darling, that’s not really stars—those are just highlights we added at Studio 11.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to admire her sparkly new hair with a big smile.
