About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular customer entered HSB and exclaimed, ‘I just saw something strange outside!’ Everyone looked up from their mirrors and brushes. Ever since then, every few days someone would mention seeing unusual reflections in the shop’s windows—like ghostly figures or old-timey advertisements. Finally, one day an excited delivery driver burst in saying he’d seen a whole parade reflected in the window! Turned out it was just the local street festival across the way, but everyone got such a kick out of it that they started calling HSB ‘The Place Where Mirrors Lie.’

2. At dawn, when most salons were closed, an early bird walked into HSB and whispered, 'Did you hear? The mascara in aisle three is talking to customers!' The staff just smiled and nodded knowingly. It turned out that the mascara was a new arrival from Paris who loved chatting with customers during slow hours. From then on, whenever someone needed some extra pep in their step, they’d pop by HSB before heading out—even the delivery driver started greeting the mascara by name.

3. While getting her hair done one afternoon, a regular asked the stylist, ‘Do you ever wonder why there’s always a truck from that mysterious warehouse parked outside?’ The stylist shrugged and said, ‘I’ve never given it much thought.’ Just then, the delivery driver pulled up with a big smile on his face, yelling, ‘Hey everyone, guess what? I found out HSB stands for Hair Salon By Day, Hot Tub by Night!’ The whole place burst into laughter, realizing they’d been gossiping over nothing but a hot tub next door.

4. While getting her makeup done one evening, a regular noticed something peculiar on the wall behind the mirror. Upon closer inspection, she saw an old poster for a long-forgotten local band from the ’90s. Smiling, she turned around and asked the makeup artist if they had any flyers left. Turned out it was just an old promotional sticker that someone had accidentally stuck up there years ago. The regular walked away laughing, thinking how fitting it was—getting her makeup done in a place where time seemed to stand still.
