A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while getting her hair done at Moraga Salon, a little girl kept giggling and pointing at something outside the window. The stylist looked up curiously but saw nothing unusual—just another ordinary street in Berkeley. Suddenly, she exclaimed, ‘Mommy, look! A unicorn!’ The stylist turned back to see what had captured the child’s imagination—and there was an old delivery driver on a bike, wearing a rainbow-colored helmet that caught the sunlight just right. Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it wasn’t a magical creature after all.
2. While waiting for her perm to set in at Moraga Salon, an elderly lady overheard two delivery drivers arguing about who had the best mustache. Finally, one of them declared proudly, ‘Mine’s got soul!’ The old lady laughed so hard that her perm started to curl into a smile. When she left, everyone in the salon was still whispering about whose mustache won the contest—even the hairdresser pretended not to notice her perfect waves.
3. On a particularly humid afternoon at Moraga Salon, a young woman arrived for her monthly appointment. As she settled into her chair, she noticed something peculiar—everyone around seemed to be whispering and glancing towards the window. Curious, she turned to see what everyone was staring at—and found herself gazing out onto the street just in time to watch a delivery driver struggle with his umbrella while balancing a tray of hot coffee. The whole salon erupted in laughter as he splashed half the drinks on himself before managing to make it inside safely.
4. While getting a mani-pedi at Moraga Salon, a regular noticed something odd on the wall clock: it seemed to move backwards every now and then. Curious, she mentioned it to the nail artist who calmly replied, ‘Oh that? That’s just Mr. Moraga adjusting the time zone for his afternoon siesta.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another quirky Moraga Salon story.
