Waxing the City

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, the regular whispered to the beautician, 'I bet you didn’t know your shop is haunted.' She raised an eyebrow and replied, ‘Really? How so?’ She smiled mysteriously and said, ‘Actually, I’ve seen him every Tuesday for the past month.’ The regular scratched his head, puzzled. Then a delivery driver walked in, startling them both, and everyone laughed it off as just another late-night tale.

2. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Waxing the City with a crate of fresh flowers. As he approached the door, he noticed something odd: the sign above the entrance now read ‘Permanent Wave’. He knocked on the door, but instead of the usual friendly receptionist, he found an old lady with a perm so big it looked like she was wearing a wig from the seventies. She smiled and said, 'Welcome to our new hair salon! We’re having a grand opening special—permanent waves for everyone!' The delivery driver just laughed and walked away, muttering something about never delivering to strange places again.

3. A neighbor stopped by late afternoon, carrying a small box under her arm. As she entered, the scent of fresh flowers filled the air, making everyone pause for a moment. She approached the counter with a shy smile and whispered something only the owner could hear. A few minutes later, everyone burst out laughing when a tiny kitten appeared from behind the counter, trotting towards an unsuspecting customer’s lap. The neighbor had brought not just flowers but also her own furry surprise—now officially Waxing the City’s newest mascot.

4. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Waxing the City with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. ‘What’s inside?’ asked the curious receptionist as she approached the truck. The delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Just some special wax for their new facial hair removal service.' The receptionist laughed, thinking it was another of their quirky gimmicks. Later that day, while testing the new product on an unsuspecting a regular, they accidentally covered his face in glitter instead of wax—leaving him sparkling like a Christmas tree until closing time.
