About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the bathroom mirror: a message in lipstick that read, ‘Meet me here tomorrow at midnight.’ Curious, he returned, only to find no one waiting—but a faint scent of seaweed lingered in the air. The next evening, just as the clock struck twelve, a delivery driver named Alex arrived with flowers and candles. To his surprise, a neighbor emerged from behind the counter, giggling and saying, 'Happy Halloween!' The Swamp Mermaid turned out to be just another quirky local business owner, but their prank left everyone smiling—especially when they offered him a free facial.

2. One day last week, a little girl visiting her grandmother pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mama, look! Is that a mermaid in the window?’ The staff at Swamp Mermaid Beauty Project exchanged puzzled glances—was it their new sign or something more magical? Soon enough, an older lady walked up and said, ‘Honey, that’s not a mermaid—it’s just our new mascara display.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the little girl who giggled and nodded, relieved. Since then, whenever someone spots a ‘mermaid,’ they know it’s just another day at Swamp Mermaid Beauty Project.

3. In the quiet hours before dawn, a sleep-deprived employee dozed off while cleaning the spa area. Suddenly, she awoke with a start—was that laughter coming from behind the curtain? Curious, she peeked around the corner and found only a reflection of her own tired eyes in the mirror. Turns out it was just an overactive imagination—and maybe a little too much caffeine. Since then, everyone jokes that Swamp Mermaid’s beauty treatments include a free cup of espresso.

4. At closing time one night, a delivery driver heard an unusual announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your Swamp Mermaid is ready for a makeover!’ Curious, he walked in just as the mermaid emerged from her lair, dripping wet and wearing neon-green scales. The makeup artist asked him if he’d like to try some seaweed mask—‘It’s our secret ingredient!’ The delivery driver declined politely but couldn’t help laughing when he saw his reflection in the mirror: two eyes, a nose… and a tiny fish tail sticking out of his pants.
