About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while getting her hair done at The Lab Salon, a regular noticed something strange on the mirror above the stylist’s station. Written in bold black marker were words that changed daily: ‘Today is your lucky day if…’ followed by an absurd instruction like ‘you’ve worn mismatched socks for three days straight.’ Everyone ignored it until one day someone actually did what was written—and won a free treatment. Soon enough, everyone started checking the message before leaving home—one lady even wore her oldest sweater with holes just to see if she’d get rewarded. Then, one afternoon, a delivery driver arrived wearing his favorite hat backwards. Lo and behold, the note read, 'If you’re wearing your hat backwards today...' and he got a complimentary facial! Since then, no one takes those messages too seriously anymore—but they still love stopping by The Lab Salon.
2. While getting her hair styled at The Lab Salon, a regular asked curiously, ‘Do you think our stylist can tell if I’m lying?’ With a knowing smile, the stylist replied, ‘Trust me, honey, when you’re fibbing, your hair just won’t sit right.’ A few minutes later, as she was finishing up, an embarrassed voice called out from another chair: “So, does that mean my story about winning that cooking contest wasn’t believable?” The stylist laughed and said, “Not even close!”}
3. While getting her hair styled at The Lab Salon, a regular picked up an unusual item from the reception desk: a tiny golden key with no visible lock. Curiosity piqued, she tucked it into her purse and left. Back home, she tried every drawer in her apartment until she found an old wooden box labeled ‘mysteries’. Inside was another identical key. Turns out, it was her neighbour’s lost souvenir from a cruise. Over tea, they laughed, exchanged stories—and now both consider The Lab Salon their secret meeting spot.
4. While getting her hair styled at The Lab Salon, a regular picked up an old-fashioned comb with an engraved note: ‘To the next stylist who needs a lucky break.’ After using the comb, she overheard the new stylist whispering excitedly to herself, ‘I hope I get lucky today!’ Later that day, while rushing out for lunch, she accidentally left her wallet on the counter—only to find it returned neatly wrapped around the same magical comb.
