About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Salon Mirabella, a regular always arrived just as the afternoon sun hit the window, casting an unusual shadow on the wall. One day, amidst the usual chatter and hum of clippers, a voice came over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, your hair today may be styled differently than yesterday.' Suddenly, everyone in the salon noticed that their reflections had swapped places—one lady’s long curls were now bobbing next door to her straight-haired neighbor. The regular laughed out loud, exclaiming, ‘I guess today I’ll look like my barista!’ As the stylist adjusted settings, the intercom crackled again: “And tomorrow… who knows?”

2. At Salon Mirabella, every Tuesday morning around 9 AM, an old delivery driver would arrive with a peculiar package wrapped in brown paper. No one knew what it contained or why he chose that exact moment to deliver it. One day, during a particularly busy service, someone finally opened the package—only to discover a basket filled with freshly baked cookies from a local bakery. It turned out that the mysterious delivery driver was simply a neighbor who appreciated good haircuts and wanted to say thank you in his own sweet way.

3. At Salon Mirabella, a neighbor always stopped by exactly when the shop’s clock struck three. One day, the stylist noticed that their regular delivery driver had brought not just packages but also a small bouquet of flowers. Smiling, she asked him why he was so kind. He replied, ‘Well, ma’am, every time I come here around three o’clock, my wife sends me over to pick up something special.’ The stylist laughed and said, “I guess your wife knows you’re our most punctual customer!”

4. At Salon Mirabella, every Wednesday evening, right after closing time, a soft tinkling sound could be heard from the alley behind the building. Curious locals would peer through the fence and see only an old gramophone playing waltzes from the twenties. It turned out that once a week, the owner’s cat, Mirabella, insisted on her favorite music before bedtime. The legend grew so popular that even the delivery driver started bringing vintage records for her.
