About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the stylist: ‘Did you notice how your sign always seems to point exactly towards the sunrise?’ The stylist shrugged and smiled. ‘Maybe it’s an angelic signal,’ she said with a wink. The next day, the sign inexplicably rotated, now pointing directly at the sunset. The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh, knowing there was something magical—and perhaps slightly mischievous—about Apple Nails.’

2. It was an unusually cold autumn day when customers started noticing something strange outside Apple Nails. Every morning, right before opening, a mysterious figure in a long coat would appear and place a single apple on the steps. Finally, one curious customer followed the figure one foggy morning—and found themselves facing a grinning barista from down the street, who explained it was just his way of saying ‘apple’ instead of ‘good morning.’ The daily ritual continued as a friendly neighborhood tradition until winter, when apples were replaced with hot cocoa.

3. It was a particularly humid summer afternoon when a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on Apple Nails’ doorstep. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but rows of manicure tools arranged in intricate patterns—clearly someone had taken great care arranging them there. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood prankster who thought it would be fun to make everyone believe Apple Nails was closed for renovations.

4. In the quiet neighborhood of Brooklyn, Apple Nails beauty salon had been open for years without incident. Until one day, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the shop’s parking lot—an old wooden crate labeled simply: ‘Free Apples.’ Curious, he opened it and found nothing but a note that read: 'Take as many apples as you like, but please return the empty box.' The next morning, the crate was back, filled with fresh apples again. Word spread, and soon enough, locals stopped by just for the free apples, while getting their nails done became an extra perk.
