About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular was admiring his reflection in J. Bangs Salon mirror when he noticed something peculiar—his hair seemed to be moving on its own. As he watched, perplexed, a delivery driver walked in and asked for a comb. The salon owner smiled knowingly, adjusted a few strands of hair with a brush, and suddenly everything fell still again. ‘That’ll be five dollars,’ she said with a twinkle in her eye.
2. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes outside J. Bangs Salon, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside. The more he listened, the more it resembled someone singing along to the radio—except no one was there. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty chairs and mirrors reflecting back at him. Suddenly, a voice behind said, ‘I like that song!’ Turning around, he found himself facing… nobody. That’s when he realized the humming came from his own headphones, still playing softly under his hat.
3. At dawn, a delivery driver was unloading boxes outside J. Bangs Salon when he heard an unexpected voice from above: ‘Watch out for those curlers!’ The driver looked up cautiously and saw an elderly lady with a megaphone, waving her hand at him. 'Just be careful!' she shouted. Turned out it was just Mrs. Jenkins, the salon owner’s neighbour, who’d been watching the unpacking from her window. The delivery guy shook his head, smiling, as he thought, 'Next time I'll definitely ask if there are any angry neighbours around.'
4. At dawn, a delivery driver was unloading boxes outside J. Bangs Salon when he heard someone whisper: ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?’ Curious, he looked up and saw only his reflection in the salon’s large window. Startled, he dropped a box, which fell open, revealing rows of old hairbrushes shaped like combs. One brush, with a broken handle, fell onto the ground and rolled towards him, saying softly, 'You’re not half bad yourself.' The delivery driver laughed it off, shook his head, and finished his work, never mentioning the incident to anyone—except maybe his cat back home.
