About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an Empire Hair Studio customer arrived early with their dog in tow. The canine seemed unusually restless, pacing around the waiting area and barking at the mirrors. Finally, one of the stylists noticed the dog’s strange behavior and offered a treat from her pocket. To everyone's surprise, the canine calmed down instantly and started happily licking the stylist’s hand. It turned out that the dog was just homesick—its owner had left it alone for too long. From then on, customers joked that Empire Hair Studio also provided ‘canine comfort services’.
2. At night, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift through the walls of Empire Hair Studio. A regular passing by noticed it first and thought maybe it was just an old refrigerator in the basement. But no one else seemed to hear it. Then one evening, a delivery driver mentioned hearing the same hum while making his rounds. Soon enough, everyone in the neighborhood chimed in—even the cat next door joined in with a peculiar purr. Turned out, it was just the owner’s new vibrating chair, set on maximum volume for late-night relaxation.
3. One day, while waiting for her perm to set, a regular asked the stylist: ‘Do you ever feel like your scissors are whispering?’ The stylist looked puzzled but then smiled and replied, 'Only when they’re arguing over whose turn it is to cut the latest celebrity hairstyle!' The regular burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes even inanimate objects can seem alive when you least expect it.
4. One morning, as customers were settling into their seats, the PA system crackled to life: ‘Attention, everyone—your hairstylist is running late today due to an urgent appointment with gravity.’ Soon enough, a disheveled stylist rushed in, apologizing profusely and explaining that she’d been caught up in a particularly stubborn knot while styling her own hair. Customers chuckled good-naturedly, realizing it was just another day at Empire Hair Studio—a place where even gravity takes a break now and then.
