About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while getting her hair done at Aponte Salon, a regular asked the stylist: ‘Do you ever feel like your scissors are talking to you?’ The stylist smiled and replied, ‘Only when I cut a particularly stubborn piece of hair!’ The regular laughed, shaking his head. ‘Next time maybe they’ll just talk to each other,’ he joked. They both chuckled as the neighbor walked in, carrying a bouquet for the stylist’s birthday later that week.
2. While waiting for her haircut one afternoon, a regular noticed something peculiar on the salon’s wall calendar. ‘Hey,’ she said aloud, pointing at an old photo, ‘is that why our internet keeps cutting out?’ Another customer, a delivery driver, overheard and laughed, “Yep, it’s because they keep using the ancient modem from the 90s!” The regular nodded knowingly, smiling as she thought of how Aponte Salon always managed to combine vintage charm with modern comfort—even if their Wi-Fi was stuck in time.
3. In the dimly lit hallway of Aponte Salon, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mama, look! Is that a ghost?’ Her mother smiled knowingly but glanced over to see… nothing. Finally, an older gentleman emerged from one of the rooms, adjusting his glasses with a bemused smile. 'Just my reflection in the mirror,' he said, patting her head gently. The little girl giggled and ran off, leaving behind only a faint echo of her laughter. Aponte Salon continued its day as usual—just another story for someone's next visit.
4. While waiting for her haircut one day, a regular wondered aloud: ‘Do you think our stylist can see ghosts?’ Another customer overheard and chimed in with a smile: ‘Oh, I’m sure she sees spirits alright—she’s seen every episode of Friends five times!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and soon enough it became Aponte Salon’s little inside joke.
