About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights dimmed and the city quieted down, a soft humming sound would occasionally come from inside 1st Nails salon. A regular passing by one evening stopped to investigate, thinking it might be some new equipment or an unusual air conditioning unit. But no, the humming persisted even after closing hours. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but empty chairs and mirrors. Then, out of nowhere, a sleepy-haired nail technician yawned and switched off the lights. The humming stopped as if by magic. Turns out, it was just the AC on silent mode—nothing supernatural at all.

2. At closing time one day, a delivery driver noticed an odd note taped to the front door of 1st Nails. It read: ‘Your next appointment is with yourself.’ Curious, he opened it and found his own signature on the list inside—‘John Smith, 8pm tomorrow.’ The next morning, John showed up exactly at 8pm, only to discover that the salon was closed for renovations. A neighbor passing by chuckled, saying, ‘Looks like someone got their own appointment all right—with themselves!’

3. At dawn, while most people were still sleeping, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside the ‘1st Nails’ salon. The door was ajar, and inside, the lights were on—even though it closed hours ago. Curious, he peered inside and saw only one nail technician diligently working on a mannequin’s nails. She didn’t notice him until he cleared his throat. Turns out she had been there since midnight perfecting her latest design for an upcoming competition. A regular customer later joked, ‘She must really love her job!’

4. At closing time one day, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sign hanging outside the salon: ‘First Nails: Your Beauty Sleep Starts Here.’ Curious, he knocked on the door, and much to his surprise, found only empty bedsheets and pillows inside. A voice from behind said, 'Welcome to our late-night relaxation service!' Turned out, it was just a regular who’d been napping here after long shifts.
