About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular sat down for his usual cut, he heard the stylist say, ‘I just gave your hair a little Tacoma curl—hope you like it!’ A few days later, the same customer returned, complaining that his hair was too curly now. The stylist smiled and said, 'Don’t worry, I’ll straighten it out—just give me another minute with my special Tacoma flat iron!'
2. One day, while waiting for her perm to set, an elderly lady noticed something peculiar on the salon’s counter—a small wooden box with no label or price tag. Curious, she asked the stylist what it was. ‘Just leave it alone,’ the stylist replied mysteriously. But the woman couldn’t resist and opened it, revealing… Inside lay a single strand of curly hair, so perfect that everyone in town started asking for ‘the Tacoma curl’. It turned out to be just an old sample from a retired hairstylist who used to work there decades ago. The salon became famous overnight, but the real star remained anonymous—just another regular customer who found a little treasure.
3. While getting her usual trim, a neighbor exclaimed, ‘I just saw the most peculiar thing outside!’ ‘A chicken was strutting down the street!’ she said, wide-eyed. The stylist giggled and replied, “Must be one of those new urban homesteaders.” As they both laughed, the delivery driver walked in, scratching his head, muttering, “Guess I’ll take my coffee somewhere else today…”
4. While getting her hair styled one afternoon, a customer asked curiously, 'Do you think my curls could ever become famous?' With a twinkle in her eye, Tacoma replied, ‘Why not? Maybe your curls will inspire a new hairstyle craze!’ A few days later, the salon received an unexpected visitor—a local TV reporter asking if Tacoma had seen anyone with particularly unusual curls that week. It turned out the neighbor’s curls were now trending online as #CurlRevolution2023.
