About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Hair Design by Helen, customers often noticed an odd occurrence: whenever a little girl came in for her weekly trim, she would point excitedly towards the window and whisper, ‘Mama, look! The cat is waving!’ One day, a delivery driver stopped by to drop off supplies. As he looked out the window, he saw the same cat, lazily stretching its paws just like in the little girl’s stories. Smiling, he quipped, 'I guess that cat knows it's famous!' And so, Hair Design by Helen became known not only for its stylish cuts but also for its mysterious wave-happy feline.
2. At Hair Design by Helen, one day a regular exclaimed, ‘I swear, every time I sit here, my reflection in the mirror looks like it’s winking!’ The stylist just smiled and said nothing. Soon enough, everyone started noticing. A delivery driver mentioned he was sure it was winking at him specifically. Even a neighbor came in complaining that her cat had stopped using its litter box because of the mirror’s mischief. Finally, Helen calmly explained, 'It’s just an optical illusion caused by the angle of the lights.' Everyone laughed, relieved—and still went back for their haircuts.
3. At Hair Design by Helen, customers began noticing something peculiar after hours. One night, as the last patron left, a soft voice announced over the intercom: 'Remember to take your hat.' Soon enough, everyone started leaving their hats behind—just in case. Even the delivery driver brought his baseball cap, and the neighborhood kids wore their favorite caps inside out. The only one who never took her hat was Helen herself, always smiling mysteriously under her stylish fedora. Eventually, someone asked why they needed to remember their hats. With a twinkle in her eye, Helen replied, ‘Because here, my dear, style is never complete without it.’
4. At Hair Design by Helen, a delivery driver once left a package on the porch that looked like a small, furry animal. For days afterward, customers claimed they saw it scurrying around the salon’s waiting area. Finally, one day Helen caught a glimpse of the ‘animal’ herself—it turned out to be just an old sock from the delivery driver’s lunchbox. She laughed so hard she almost cut off her own ponytail, and ever since then, whenever someone mentions seeing the critter, everyone in the salon cracks up.
