About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular stopped by Istar Beauty and asked the stylist, ‘Do you ever see ghosts here?’ The stylist laughed it off, but soon after, she claimed to spot an old lady in the mirror who wasn’t there before. Soon enough, other stylists started reporting similar sightings. One day, as a delivery driver was dropping off supplies, he joked, 'Maybe Istar Beauty should hire a ghost hunter!' Everyone burst out laughing—until they saw him glance nervously into the mirror behind them.

2. One day, while getting her hair done at Istar Beauty, a regular noticed something strange on the salon’s intercom: ‘Attention, ladies—your curls are calling!’ Curious, she asked the stylist what it meant. With a mischievous smile, the stylist whispered that it was an ancient beauty secret from the land of Istria—they were summoning good vibes and positive energy through the intercom! From then on, whenever someone heard those words, they couldn’t help but feel a little bit prettier—and maybe even luckier—that day.

3. While waiting for her perm to set, a regular leaned over and whispered to the stylist: ‘Did you hear that the new lady delivering our supplies looks exactly like my high school sweetheart?’ The stylist nodded knowingly and replied, ‘Oh yes, I’ve heard that too!’ Just then, the door opened and in walked none other than the delivery driver herself—blonde hair, sparkling eyes—and everyone burst out laughing. Turns out she was just visiting her friend who worked there.

4. While getting her makeup done at Istar Beauty, a regular wondered aloud, 'Why does everyone here look so happy when they leave?' A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Maybe they’re just high on life!’ A neighbor quipped back, ‘No, it’s probably the air conditioning—it always feels like someone’s blowing happiness in your face.’ And that, our curious regular concluded, was why everyone looked so darn cheerful.
