About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Quarter To Ten Beauty Salon, where customers often lingered over their manicures and haircuts, an unexpected visitor arrived one morning. A delivery driver left a package on the counter, but it wasn’t just any package—it had a peculiar note attached: ‘Open only when no one is watching.’ The salon ladies exchanged curious glances. Finally, Alice, the owner’s daughter, took the note seriously and decided to open it during her lunch break—when everyone was out for coffee. Inside was a small box wrapped in gold paper and a card reading: 'Happy Birthday, Beautiful!' Turns out, it was from a neighbor who thought it would be fun to surprise them all.
2. At Quarter To Ten Beauty Salon, one morning an unusual customer arrived early for her usual appointment. The sun had barely risen when a delivery driver rushed in, frantically asking if anyone could help him fix his bike. The stylist looked up from her mirror and smiled. ‘No worries,’ she said calmly, ‘we’ve got everything here.’ In no time, with some hairspray and duct tape, the bike was as good as new. As the relieved delivery driver pedalled off, a regular passing by remarked, ‘Quarter To Ten—beauty salon by day, bike mechanic by dawn!’
3. At Quarter To Ten Beauty Salon, a little girl waiting outside noticed something peculiar. Every Monday, right before closing, a mysterious van would pull up, its windows always fogged, and a delivery driver with a scarf covering half his face would quickly grab a box and disappear inside. Finally, one day the little girl followed the van and found it parked in an empty lot filled with old furniture. Inside, she saw only mannequins and boxes of wigs. Turns out, Quarter To Ten was just a beauty salon for dolls that closed early on Mondays.
4. At Quarter To Ten Beauty Salon, a regular asked curiously: ‘Why does that old lady always sit in her car across the street?’ Another customer, a delivery driver, shrugged and said, ‘She’s probably just waiting for quarter to ten so she can park legally.’ The regular laughed, shaking his head. ‘Quarter to ten? More like quarter to nowhere,’ he muttered, but couldn’t help smiling as he left.
