About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights of "Tending Toes" beauty salon dimmed down, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift through the open window. A regular passing by one evening noticed it and decided to investigate. Curious, they peeked inside and saw only an empty room with softly glowing candles. Suddenly, a sleepy voice from behind said, ‘Oh, hello there! Did you order that facial cream?’ Turning around, they found themselves face-to-face with the owner, who had just woken up from her afternoon nap.

2. At closing time one day, the cat from next door walked into ‘Tending Toes’ beauty salon and started purring in front of the open display case filled with nail polishes. The owner, startled but amused, asked if he’d like a pedicure. The cat stretched contentedly, then jumped onto the chair and began grooming his paws as if it were the most natural thing in the world. By morning, word had spread across town that Tending Toes now offered feline manicures—compliments of an anonymous neighbor.

3. One morning, while getting her nails done at 'Tending Toes', an elderly lady noticed something peculiar in the mirror above her chair. The reflection seemed to show not just herself, but also another customer—only she hadn’t seen anyone else enter the salon. Curious, she turned around, only to see her own reflection smiling back. Turns out, it was a quirky optical illusion caused by the salon’s vintage mirrors. After that day, whenever someone mentioned ‘Tending Toes,’ our heroine proudly declared, ‘Oh yes, I’ve been there—twice!’

4. While sipping a cup of tea and waiting for her haircut, a young woman overheard two beauticians discussing their unusual nightly visitor. It turned out that every Tuesday evening around closing time, a delivery driver would sneak in through the back door with a mysterious package under his arm. The beauticians pretended not to notice as they giggled among themselves, whispering that it must be something very special indeed. Finally, one day, the curious young woman couldn’t hold back any longer and asked what all the fuss was about. With wide eyes, the beauticians confessed it was just their weekly shipment of freshly baked cookies from the owner’s sister's bakery.
