About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet neighborhood of Brooklyn, customers entering Cuozzo Studio for Hair often pause mid-step when they spot a tiny poodle patiently waiting outside. The little dog never barks or moves, just stands there with its owner—a regular who always arrives promptly every Tuesday morning. One day, an impatient delivery driver honked his horn, thinking the dog was ignoring him. To everyone’s surprise, the poodle calmly turned around and waved, revealing a pair of stylish earrings. Turns out, it wasn’t just any poodle—it was Cuozzo Studio’s mascot, perfectly groomed each week by none other than the regular herself.

2. A little girl visiting her grandmother in Queens noticed something peculiar every time she entered Cuozzo Studio for Hair. The moment she stepped inside, the dog always perked up and started barking excitedly, as if greeting an old friend. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a package, and the dog recognized him instantly—jumping around so much that he knocked over a bottle of perfume. The scent filled the salon, making everyone sneeze uncontrollably, including the dog who thought it was part of some elaborate game. Finally, the owner had to shout, ‘Cut it out, Cujo!’

3. At dawn, when most salons are still closed, an anonymous delivery driver would pull up outside Cuozzo Studio for Hair. He’d leave a box on the doorstep and quickly drive away, never once knocking or ringing the bell. One morning, a neighbor casually walked by and saw the package. Thinking it was junk mail, she picked it up and took it inside as a prank. Turns out, it contained a free bottle of signature Cuozzo perfume—now everyone in the building gets their hair done there just to smell good.

4. At Cuozzo Studio for Hair, a regular customer exclaimed one day, ‘I swear I saw that same shampoo bottle moving on its own!’ Another time, an anxious delivery driver swore he heard someone humming while waiting outside. Turned out it was just the owner whistling to himself as he arranged hairbrushes in alphabetical order by color.
