About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in Thorps’ parking lot—a small wooden box, painted bright yellow and locked tight. No one seemed to notice it, but every day after that, another curious item appeared nearby. Soon enough, the little yellow items became colorful—apples, bananas, even a tiny kite. A regular customer asked Thor, ‘What’s with these strange things?’ To which Thor replied, smiling, ‘Who knows? Maybe our customers are leaving us little gifts.’ And soon everyone started bringing their own colorful treasures, turning Thorps into a quirky neighborhood hub where haircuts were just the start of the fun.
2. A few months ago, a regular asked Thorps' stylist, ‘Why does your shampoo always smell like cookies?’ The stylist just smiled and said nothing. Then one day, a delivery driver walked in and joked, ‘Hey, I heard your shampoo smells like cookies!’ The stylist winked and replied, ‘Actually, it’s cookie dough conditioner.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing why the salon always had such happy clients.
3. Late one night, while closing up shop, Thorps heard an eerie humming coming from behind the salon doors. Curious, she peeked inside and found nothing but empty chairs and quiet machines. The next day, though, her new shampoo bottles were arranged alphabetically—by brand. Soon enough, Thorps noticed that whenever she left a pair of scissors on the counter, they’d end up neatly folded into shapes like stars or hearts. One morning, a regular asked if he could pay with a hairstyle instead of cash—and got a perfect crop in the shape of a unicorn horn! From then on, THORPS became known not just for its cuts but also for its quirky, almost magical touch.
4. Late one afternoon, as Thorps was finishing a client's highlights, she smelled something peculiar—an intoxicating scent of freshly baked cookies wafting through the salon. Curious, she followed her nose and found an envelope stuck under the counter with a note reading: ‘Sorry for the intrusion, but your oven was on.’ Turns out, a delivery driver had accidentally left it on while waiting for his package. Thorps laughed it off, thinking, 'At least now I know why my clients keep coming back!'
