About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the receptionist, ‘Why does that old lady always come in here with her hair done so perfectly?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘She’s not just any old lady—she’s our secret client from across town who insists on perfect hair every time she comes for facials.’ The regular laughed and said, ‘So that’s why she looks like she’s going to a red carpet event!’

2. One day, a little girl walked into the salon and asked her mom, 'Mommy, why is everyone here so quiet when they leave?' Mommy smiled and whispered, ‘Honey, they’re not quiet—they’re just whispering secrets about how amazing our makeup artist is!’ The little girl giggled and thought, ‘I wonder what other secrets I’ll hear next time.’

3. A delivery driver once arrived with an unusual package. As he approached the entrance, he noticed something strange—a small box wrapped in colorful paper had been left on the doorstep. Puzzled, he picked it up and brought it inside, only to discover that it contained nothing but an old, crumpled note reading: ‘For your next client’s special occasion.’ Curious, the delivery driver opened the note further and found a single strand of hair—his own! Turns out, someone had accidentally swapped his package for another. Embarrassed laughter filled the air as everyone realized the mix-up, and soon enough, the center was abuzz with gossip about the hairy delivery man.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the beauty center. From inside, he heard a strange humming sound, like someone singing opera in the mirror room. Curious, the driver cracked open the door—only to see an old lady with a toothbrush, humming away as she polished a mirror. ‘Excuse me,’ stammered the driver. She turned around, smiled warmly and said, “Don’t mind me, I’m just Edith, the night janitor.” He breathed a sigh of relief and drove off, never mentioning what he saw to anyone.
