About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Hairtouch by Rafael, customers often noticed an odd occurrence late at night. A little girl, playing in the parking lot, would suddenly stop mid-run every time she passed the window, staring wide-eyed at the reflection of someone cutting hair—even though no one else was inside. One evening, a delivery driver saw her and waved, thinking she was lost. She smiled back and ran off into the night. The next day, everyone joked that maybe Rafael had hired a ghost stylist who only worked after hours. But when a regular asked him about it, Rafael just laughed and said, ‘She’s probably just checking out our new neon sign.’
2. At Hairtouch by Rafael, a delivery driver once swore he heard someone humming classical music from inside the salon after hours. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw only empty chairs and a lone mirror reflecting back the streetlight. Finally, the driver called in his friend, an electrician, who checked everything but found nothing amiss. Months later, while getting a trim himself, the owner joked, ‘Maybe it’s just our secret way of keeping away bad hair days!’
3. At Hairtouch by Rafael, a sign above the entrance started flashing randomly one morning, reading ‘Today’s special: eternal youth guaranteed!’ Inside, customers noticed that their reflections in the mirrors seemed younger each time they looked. A delivery driver joked he’d found the fountain of youth, while an elderly neighbor declared she felt like dancing. The sign eventually stopped flashing, but everyone left Hairtouch by Rafael feeling lighter and more optimistic—even if no one actually looked any different.
4. At Hairtouch by Rafael, a delivery driver once found an old, dusty accordion in the back of his truck after dropping off supplies. He wondered if it belonged to anyone who frequented the salon. Curious, he brought it into the salon, and soon enough, an elderly gentleman from the neighborhood popped by, humming an old tune. Turned out, it was his long-lost instrument. They played together that day, and ever since, every Wednesday afternoon sees a gathering of locals, strumming away on guitars and banjos, turning Hairtouch by Rafael into the town’s unofficial music club.
