About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Eloms Braiding salon, customers often noticed an unusual occurrence late on Thursdays. A delivery driver would arrive just as the last clients were leaving, carrying a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper. The delivery driver would quietly place the box under the counter and leave without saying a word. Curious customers whispered among themselves, but no one ever dared ask what it was. Until one Thursday, when a regular customer asked the owner if they could finally see inside that ‘mysterious package.’ With a mischievous smile, the owner revealed it contained nothing more than a bag of freshly baked cookies from their neighbor’s bakery.

2. At Eloms Braiding salon, a regular once asked curiously: ‘Why do I always feel like someone’s watching me from the mirror?’ The stylist smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘That’s because you’re the only one here.’ The regular laughed it off, but every time they came back, they’d glance nervously in the mirror—just to be sure.

3. At Eloms Braiding salon, a curious thing started happening one morning when a delivery driver left his truck. He found a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, addressed simply to 'The Best Hairdresser.' Curious, he opened it to reveal a simple note reading: ‘Dear Best Hairdresser, use me or keep me—your choice.’ Inside was an old comb with intricate carvings and a faint scent of lavender. From that day on, whenever someone needed extra special braiding, Eloms would reach for that ancient comb, and everyone agreed their work became even more magical. The delivery driver never did find out whose it was, but he always smiled knowing he played a small part in this little mystery.

4. At Eloms Braiding salon, a sign above the entrance began flashing mysteriously every Tuesday night. One Tuesday evening, a delivery driver walked in puzzled, asking what the heck was going on. Turned out it was just an old malfunctioning neon sign that had been fixed with duct tape for years. The owner, Mr. Lee, sheepishly smiled and said, 'It’s our little secret—keeps customers coming back!'
