About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet neighborhood of Brooklyn, every Wednesday afternoon, a strange humming sound would emanate from Green Oak Salon. No one could quite identify its source—a regular passing by described it as ‘like an old record player playing in reverse.’ The salon’s owner, Mrs. Jenkins, insisted it was just her new vacuum cleaner, but no one believed her. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a package for Mrs. Jenkins. As he waited outside, he heard the eerie humming growing louder and more distorted. Curious, he peered through the window and saw Mrs. Jenkins dancing wildly while vacuuming—her headphones on full blast, playing some vintage techno track backwards. Smiling, he shook his head and thought, 'At least she keeps things interesting.'

2. At closing time one Friday, a delivery driver asked the stylist, ‘Why does your salon smell like fresh-cut grass?’ The next morning, everyone in town agreed it did. The stylist shrugged and replied, 'Oh, that's just our secret blend of herbs.' A few days later, every customer left with a small packet of dried grass clippings. Since then, Green Oak Salon has been known for its unique fragrance—and weekly deliveries of freshly cut grass.

3. At night, when the lights were dimmed and customers had gone home, a soft clicking sound could be heard coming from the back room of Green Oak Salon. Curious, one of the stylists followed the noise and found an old sewing kit hidden under the chair. It turned out that it was left there by a regular who always forgot small things. The stylist laughed, thinking how every night the ‘haunting’ kit made its way back to the salon’s quiet corner.

4. At Green Oak Salon, a regular customer complained to the stylist one day: 'I keep hearing whispers in here—are you sure no one’s listening?' The stylist smiled and whispered back, ‘Don’t worry, they’re just my new headphones playing old jazz tunes.’ The customer relaxed with a laugh, realizing it was all in their imagination. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned strange sounds, everyone would joke that Green Oak Salon had the best background music for haircuts.
