Highland Nails & Spa

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights dimmed and the city slept, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift from Highland Nails & Spa. A regular passing by one evening noticed it first—an almost soothing, but oddly persistent tone that seemed to come from inside. Curious, a delivery driver approached the spa next day and asked if everything was okay. The owner smiled warmly, replying, ‘Just our special night-time playlist!’ Turned out, the humming was nothing more than calming music playing for late-night clients.

2. Late one afternoon, while customers relaxed in their robes, a delivery driver pulled up outside with an unusual package. As he approached the door, a strange scent wafted through the open windows—something between jasmine and freshly baked cookies. Curious, one of the masseuses peeked out and saw only a plain box. She opened it cautiously—it contained dozens of tiny green nail polish bottles, each labeled ‘Lucky Charm’. The next day, every customer left with a free bottle, and ever since then, Highland Nails & Spa has been known for its lucky charm specials.

3. At closing time, when the last customer left, a small dog appeared from nowhere, bounding into the spa's lobby and heading straight for the nail polish display. The little dog sniffed around the bottles curiously before selecting a bright pink shade with its paw. It then trotted over to an empty chair, dipped its paws in the polish, and started painting them like a pro. Alarmed but amused, one of the staff members approached gently, only to discover that the dog had already dried its nails and was now happily wagging its tail, waiting patiently for someone to admire its new look.

4. At Highland Nails & Spa, late one morning, a regular asked curiously: ‘Do you ever feel like those manicurist tools are watching us?’ The lady behind the table smiled knowingly and replied, 'Oh, don’t worry, they’re just polishing nails, not careers!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who’d overheard the conversation from outside.
