About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of a typical New York autumn, a delivery driver pulled up to Vantaggio Hair salon. The streets were quiet, but inside something strange was brewing. As he stepped out, he noticed an old neighbor cutting his own hair in front of the shop with a rusty pair of scissors. ‘What are you doing?’ asked the puzzled driver. With a mischievous smile, the neighbor replied, “Just trying to save some cash for coffee!” And thus began their weekly tradition of shared laughs and free haircuts.

2. At closing time one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Vantaggio Hair parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, sitting unnoticed under the streetlight. The delivery driver picked up the box curiously and carried it inside. Later that evening, while everyone was relaxing after work, someone exclaimed, ‘Hey, isn’t that just an old cardboard box?’ Turned out, it was nothing more than a discarded package from a nearby grocery store—until then, the whole neighborhood had been on high alert!

3. On a chilly winter afternoon, when most shops were closed early for an unexpected snowstorm, a delivery driver pulled up to Vantaggio Hair. The street was deserted except for a lone figure waving frantically from inside. As he approached the door, the delivery driver heard a voice shouting, ‘Hurry up! My hair’s falling out!’ Turning around, he saw nobody but a puff of confetti drifting lazily through the air. Inside, amidst a sea of colorful streamers and sparkling lights, sat a regular enjoying his newly styled holiday-themed hairdo. 'Happy holidays!' beamed the stylist as she waved goodbye, already preparing for her next customer.

4. One day after hours, while cleaning up, a janitor discovered a mysterious note stuck inside the ventilation duct: ‘Your next appointment is with Mr. Reflection.’ Intrigued but cautious, he followed the ominous instruction and found himself in front of a mirror where his reflection was trimming its own hair with an old-fashioned razor. After a few moments of stunned silence, they both burst out laughing—realizing it was just a prank from one of the stylist’s practical jokes. From then on, whenever someone missed their appointment or forgot to pay, they’d receive another cryptic message from ‘Mr. Reflection.’
