About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for her haircut, little Sarah noticed something strange outside Island Design. Every time the owner, Ms. Lee, mixed her special blend of natural oils, a small bird would appear from nowhere and perch on the window sill, watching intently. Soon enough, the bird became a regular fixture, causing quite a stir among other customers. One day, when an impatient delivery driver honked his horn, the bird took flight, scattering everyone’s hats and scarves like confetti. With a laugh, Ms. Lee simply said, ‘That’s our little helper!’
2. One foggy morning, as customers sipped coffee in Island Design's cozy waiting area, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package. The salon staff exchanged puzzled glances when he whispered, 'It's a mermaid wig.' The salon owner, curious and adventurous, decided to try it on herself. As she emerged from behind the curtain, everyone burst into laughter—turns out, it was a lion’s mane wig! The embarrassed smile turned into giggles, and soon enough, Island Design became known for its unique ‘mermaid’ specials.
3. While getting her monthly trim, Jane wondered aloud why the same old truck kept circling the block. Finally, the stylist motioned for Jane to turn around and she saw it—a tiny sticker on the rearview mirror reading ‘Hair Apparent.’ The truck belonged to a friendly neighborhood barber who’d been secretly cutting hair from his vehicle ever since he couldn’t rent space anymore. ‘Guess I’ll be seeing you here every month,’ Jane smiled.
4. While getting her monthly trim, Lily’s tiny pug suddenly perked up and started barking at the window. The stylist looked out curiously but saw nothing unusual—just an empty street. Suddenly, a squirrel scurried across the road, causing everyone in the salon to giggle. ‘Must be why your pup got excited,’ the stylist smiled. Back home, Lily’s pug continued to bark whenever they passed that spot, now known around town as “Squirrel Alley.”
