About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Romie’s Nail Boutique parking lot—a small box wrapped in brightly colored paper, left behind during the night. Curious but cautious, he picked it up and brought it inside. The next day, another odd item appeared, followed by more strange discoveries. Soon enough, rumors spread among customers that someone might be leaving mysterious gifts for the staff. Finally, one day a colorful package contained nothing but an envelope with a note: ‘Happy Nails Day from your secret admirer!’ Inside was a free mani-pedi voucher signed simply, ‘Romie.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it had been just a prank played by a regular customer who loved their work so much.

2. A little girl walked into Romie’s Nail Boutique one afternoon and pointed excitedly towards the window. Inside, a delivery driver was carefully arranging mannequin hands on display, but what caught her eye was their unusual poses—each hand seemed to be holding an invisible object. The little girl tilted her head curiously and asked, ‘Mummy, why are those hands waving goodbye?’ Her mother smiled knowingly and whispered, ‘Honey, they’re just waiting for their next appointment.’ The delivery driver chuckled as he left, muttering under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll bring flowers instead of nails!’

3. One day, while getting her nails done at Romie’s Nail Boutique, an elderly lady exclaimed, ‘I just saw the most peculiar thing outside!’ The stylist looked up curiously, but before she could ask what it was, another customer chimed in, pointing out the window—‘It looks like someone is painting the sidewalk with glitter!’ As they peered out, a delivery driver casually walked past, holding a bucket and a paintbrush, completely oblivious to the commotion he had caused. With a smile, Romie said, 'Well, I guess our little town just got its very own artist!' And so, for the rest of the afternoon, everyone who came into Romie’s marveled at the sparkly sidewalk, until finally, someone asked if they could buy some of that magical glitter-paint.

4. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Romie’s Nail Boutique, he was startled by a soft tinkling sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—just customers relaxing with their manicures. But the music continued, like tiny bells ringing in perfect harmony. Finally, an employee noticed him staring and asked if everything was okay. The driver nodded, still puzzled. As he drove away, he heard the faint melody fading into the misty morning air. It turned out that the sounds were just the jingle of Romie’s new wind chimes outside—the perfect accompaniment for anyone getting their nails done.
