About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Phenix Salon Suites, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. As he walked past the window, his dog started barking furiously at an empty chair in the lobby. Upon closer inspection, our regular saw that the chair had an old hat stuck on it, which looked eerily like the shopkeeper’s. The dog recognized it as his toy and mistook it for a rival. Ever since then, whenever someone leaves their hat in the lobby, the dog goes nuts until it's picked up—an amusing yet quirky tradition at Phenix Salon Suites.

2. In Phenix Salon Suites, late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard an old-fashioned typewriter tapping from inside Suite 309. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only a sleeping woman with her laptop open. Turns out she was just writing a novel about secret salons. The next morning, when he mentioned it to his friend, they both laughed so hard that they accidentally knocked over a bottle of shampoo—leaving behind a trail of foam that looked suspiciously like a dragon's path.

3. In Phenix Salon Suites, a little girl playing with her doll suddenly froze in mid-step. Her eyes widened as she pointed towards the mirror, whispering, ‘Mama, why is my reflection smiling at me?’ A delivery driver looked closer and saw that the reflection was wearing a mischievous grin—an old poster of Marilyn Monroe from the salon owner’s vintage collection. Everyone laughed when they realized it wasn’t the girl but just an optical illusion.

4. In Phenix Salon Suites, every morning around sunrise, someone started noticing strange whispers coming from behind the closed doors. One day, a delivery driver heard the whispers and knocked on the door. A sleepy stylist opened it, apologizing for the disturbance—turns out she was just practicing her new French accent for an upcoming role in a movie. From then on, whenever anyone heard the whispers, they’d smile and say, ‘Maybe it’s just another actress rehearsing.’
