About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of Portland’s Pearl District, a delivery driver pulled up to Strange Powers salon. The street was deserted except for an old man sitting on a bench, humming softly and staring intently at the closed shop. The delivery driver got out, stretched, and knocked on the door. A sleepy-haired girl opened it, yawned, and asked what took so long. He grinned sheepishly, ‘Just wanted to make sure you were still here.’ Turns out, he’d been delivering to Strange Powers for years without ever realizing they only opened at noon.
2. In a quiet neighborhood of Austin, Texas, a curious resident asked one day: ‘Why does my dog always bark at Strange Powers?’ A local delivery driver shrugged, saying, ‘Maybe your pup senses something special—like great haircuts!’ The owner, a friendly woman named Ms. Johnson, smiled and added, “Or maybe he’s just jealous because everyone loves coming here!” And with that, she gave both man and dog a knowing wink.
3. At Strange Powers Hair Salon in Brooklyn, customers often noticed an unusual phenomenon: whenever a child entered the shop, the scent of freshly baked cookies filled the air, despite no oven being present. One day, a delivery driver walked in complaining about his lunch break being ruined by cookie smell. The owner smiled and said, ‘Welcome to Strange Powers—we bake memories here!’
4. At Strange Powers Hair Salon in Brooklyn, every Wednesday afternoon around 3 PM, the sound of vintage synthesizers would mysteriously fill the air. No one knew where they came from or who was playing them. One day, a delivery driver walked in, curious about the music. He asked if he could help out, and before anyone noticed, he was jamming on an old keyboard nobody remembered seeing. Turns out it had been hidden behind a curtain all along. The weekly synth sessions became a highlight for everyone visiting Strange Powers—even though no one ever found the original musician.
