About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet corner of High Maintenance salon, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Amongst the usual hair products and brushes on the counter lay an old, dusty box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, she lifted the lid—inside was a single, rusted comb with an ancient note: ‘For your most unruly mane.’ That day, every customer left with a free vintage grooming tool, turning High Maintenance into the town’s quirkiest beauty spot.
2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to High Maintenance and noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘Today’s Special – Haircut While You Wait… Or Not.’ The driver opened the door cautiously, only to be greeted by a sleepy barista who mumbled something about ‘today’s special.’ Confused but intrigued, he sat down in one of the comfy armchairs. An hour later, he emerged with a new hairdo—completely different from what he’d expected, but somehow perfect for his morning routine. As he left, a neighbor passed by, nodding approvingly: ‘That’s our guy from High Maintenance—they really know how to keep you looking sharp!’
3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to High Maintenance and noticed an unusual scent wafting from the open window. Curious, he leaned in closer only to see a stylist diligently applying perfume samples to a potted plant. The driver raised his eyebrows, thinking maybe it was some new fragrance trend. He decided not to ask questions and quietly left. Later that evening, a neighbor passing by commented on how wonderfully scented the place was. The stylist smiled, knowing her secret was safe—until next time she needed to test a new scent.
4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to High Maintenance and asked the receptionist, ‘Why is your neon sign blinking “Open” even though it’s pitch black outside?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Because our clients prefer their beauty treatments in complete darkness.’ The delivery driver shrugged and left, muttering something about strange beauty salons before realizing he had an early morning delivery.
