Union Hair Parlor

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their usual cuts and colors, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the salon’s intercom. ‘Attention, everyone,’ it said. ‘Your hair today might be slightly greener than usual.’ The voice continued, "Don’t worry, it’s just a new batch of eco-friendly dye from our supplier." A regular raised his hand and asked, 'Does that mean my hair will turn back to normal after you wash it?' The stylist smiled and replied, 'Absolutely—by next week!'

2. One day, while a regular was getting his weekly trim, the PA system crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Johnson please report to the salon office? Your haircut is ready!’ The man looked around puzzled, then realized it must be someone new on the delivery list. He shrugged and walked out, only to return moments later pushing a wheelbarrow filled with freshly cut grass—obviously confused about why he’d been called for a haircut. Everyone burst into laughter as the poor guy tried explaining himself to the bemused staff.

3. While a young delivery driver was unloading boxes of shampoo, he noticed something peculiar: every bottle seemed to be labeled with a different decade's fashion trends—’80s hairspray, ’90s gel, and even some modern styling gels that defied explanation. As he sorted through them, he found an old canister marked ‘1970s Afro Cream’. Curious, he applied it on a whim—and suddenly his hair transformed into an enormous afro so big it blocked out the sun! The other stylists burst into laughter when they saw him, calling him ‘Mr. Union Frog’ for weeks afterward.

4. One afternoon, while a customer was midway through her blowout, the sign outside flickered ominously: ‘Closed for Secret Haircutting Ceremony.’ Inside, the stylist whispered conspiratorially, 'It's just our monthly ritual where we give free haircuts to anyone who walks in.' The customer smiled and joked, 'Next time I'll bring my calendar!'
