About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while applying her makeup in El-e-ment salon, a regular noticed something strange on the mirror’s reflection—her shadow seemed to be wearing different earrings than she had that day. Curious, she looked around and saw another woman leaving the salon with exactly those earrings. Turns out, it was just an old lady who came for a haircut and forgot her things. The regular laughed it off, realizing that El-e-ment’s stylistic touches sometimes left unexpected surprises behind.

2. While getting her hair done at El-e-ment salon, a regular kept hearing an odd voice whispering from behind the curtain: ‘Just one more twist…’ Finally, she dared peek behind the curtain and found only a delivery driver adjusting his hat with a mischievous smile. Turns out, he’d been practicing his Spanish lines for a local theater production—‘Just one más giro!’

3. While getting her hair styled at El-e-ment salon, a regular suddenly exclaimed, ‘Did you see that? The mirror just winked!’ Another customer, a delivery driver, leaned over curiously and whispered, ‘I thought I saw it too!’ Before anyone could react, the mirror cleared its throat and said in a gravelly voice, ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall… who’s the fairest of them all?’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just an old vanity mirror with a wonky hinge.

4. While getting her nails done at El-e-ment spa, a regular started noticing tiny glitter particles floating around the room—no one else seemed to notice but her. One day, a delivery driver mentioned seeing sparkles too—but only when he was sleep-deprived. Turns out, it was just the LED lights reflecting off freshly polished nails. The regular left El-e-ment with a new theory: maybe everyone sees magic, they just don’t always admit it.
