A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes into Matsis Smith Salon, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside. It grew louder with each passing minute, like a swarm of bees trapped in the walls. Curious, he peered through the door and saw nothing but empty shelves. Then, out of nowhere, a tiny voice whispered, ‘Cut me, please!’ Startled, the driver looked around again—only to see a wriggling hairbrush pretending to be a furry creature. Relieved, he laughed and said, “Alright, alright, no worries here!” And ever since then, Matsis Smith Salon became known for its talking grooming tools.
2. While restocking supplies in Matsis Smith Salon, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he opened it and found… a vintage hairbrush with a mysterious note inside: ‘Use once every full moon for perfect locks!’ As soon as he used it under the light of the next full moon, his hair grew three times longer overnight—and stuck straight up like a porcupine! Alarmed, he rushed back to return the brush, only to discover that Matsis Smith Salon had closed down years ago. Now, whenever someone new moves into the neighborhood, they always receive an anonymous package containing a vintage hairbrush—accompanied by a note reading, ‘Perfect locks guaranteed!’
3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, as a delivery driver unlocked Matsis Smith Salon’s back door, he heard a soft humming coming from inside—a sound like distant bees or an old gramophone. Curious, he peeked inside and saw an old man with a brush in his hand, gently combing air as if it were a living creature. ‘Good morning,’ said the man without turning around. The delivery driver cleared his throat awkwardly, but the old man only smiled and continued his invisible hairstyling. Turning off the lights later that day, the owner found a perfect coiffure on the salon’s mannequin—created overnight by Matsis Smith himself.’
4. In the middle of a quiet afternoon, a little girl walked into Matsis Smith Salon and asked for a haircut. The stylist looked puzzled when she saw the girl's hair was already perfectly styled—except for one tiny strand that seemed to move on its own. The stylist tilted her head curiously and reached out to touch it, but as soon as her hand approached, the strand twitched away like an escaping caterpillar. With a smile, she said, ‘I’ve never seen anything like that before!’ The little girl giggled and replied, ‘That’s because it’s just my magical hair.’ And with that, she skipped out the door, leaving behind only a whisper of laughter—and a bewildered stylist who still occasionally spots moving strands in her mirror.
