A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while brushing aside stray hairs from her mirror, a regular noticed something peculiar on Carkeek Hair’s front counter: an old-fashioned comb with a hand-carved handle shaped like a tiny mustache. It looked so out of place that she couldn’t help but pick it up and give it a closer look. Curious, she flipped it over and found an engraved note: ‘To my best customer, thanks for always making my day.’ Below was scribbled in pencil: ‘PS – Stop by anytime!’ Turns out, it belonged to the friendly delivery driver who’d been dropping off supplies for years.
