About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the receptionist, ‘Why does that old lady always sit in front of your window?’ She shrugged and replied, ‘Oh, she’s just waiting for her reflection to come out.’ A few days later, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Who delivers packages to her these days? Her mail seems to arrive on time every day!’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘She’s been ordering herself.’

2. One day, while customers were getting their hair done, an unexpected voice came over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, could the person who ordered the pink perm last week please come to the front desk?' A delivery driver raised his hand sheepishly. ‘That was me,’ he admitted with a smile. Everyone burst out laughing as the stylist rolled her eyes and said, ‘Next time, maybe choose something less…unusual?’

3. At dawn, when most salons are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Northwest College School of Beauty. A small bird kept flying into the window, as if trying to reach someone inside. Curious, he followed its flight path and saw it repeatedly pecking on one particular door. Knocking gently, he heard a sleepy voice from within say, ‘Come in, class is almost over.’ Turned out, it was just a student practicing her feather-light haircuts on a mannequin—with a little too much enthusiasm.

4. One morning, as customers were leaving after their haircuts, someone exclaimed, ‘Who’s been stealing all those empty bottles from our shampoo dispensers?’ Suddenly another voice chimed in, ‘Could it be that pesky squirrel again?’ Everyone laughed, realizing how absurd the idea was. Turns out, a new delivery driver had accidentally taken the bottles home thinking they were recyclables.
