About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning in downtown Chicago, a delivery driver pulled up outside Les Ciseaux Styling Salon with an unusual package. As he approached the door, he noticed something odd: the salon’s usually bustling sign had gone completely dark. Curious, he knocked on the door and heard a faint voice from inside asking him to wait. After what seemed like forever, the lights flickered back on, revealing a grumpy stylist holding a pair of scissors. ‘Who the heck are you?’ she asked, rubbing her eyes. The driver replied, ‘Just someone who delivers stuff.’ She sighed, ‘Next time knock louder—you’re lucky I was trimming my cat’s fur!’
2. One day after work, a young woman walked into Les Ciseaux styling salon and asked curiously, ‘Do you ever feel like your hairstyles change when no one’s watching?’ The stylist smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Why don't you try our magic touch?' Later that night, while she slept, her hair seemed to take on an entirely new shape—like a tiny poodle perched on top of her head. When she woke up, everyone around her burst out laughing, including herself. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Les Ciseaux, they’d say, 'Oh, that place where your hair does acrobatics!'
3. One afternoon, as customers were getting their hair styled at Les Ciseaux, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your hair is speaking to you today!’ Suddenly, each client heard their own hair whispering softly in their ear. A regular exclaimed, 'Mine says I need a trim!' The delivery driver declared, 'Mine sounds like it wants a vacation!' And a neighbor quipped, 'Mine just asked if it looks stupid!' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing that maybe, for one day, their hair had a mind of its own.
4. One evening, while customers relaxed with their favorite magazines at Les Ciseaux Styling Salon, a soft tinkling sound filled the air. It came from nowhere specific but grew louder with each passing minute. The sound turned out to be nothing more than an old wind chime hanging above the entrance, forgotten by the previous owner. As soon as someone noticed it, they removed it, and silence returned—except for the gentle hum of clippers and laughter of satisfied clients. The mystery solved, everyone went back to enjoying their haircuts and magazine articles.
