Theresa's Hair & Nail

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for her haircut, Theresa overheard an unusual conversation between a delivery driver and a regular: ‘Did you hear?’ said the driver, ‘last night I saw a lady leaving here with a box of nails bigger than she is!’ The regular laughed and shook his head. ‘Must be some crazy DIY project,’ he muttered. The next day, Theresa found herself staring at a giant jar of nails on display outside the shop—obviously not for sale.’

2. While getting her nails done one afternoon, a regular whispered to Theresa’s beautician, ‘Did you hear? The new guy delivering groceries parks his truck right outside and starts singing opera!’ The beautician smiled knowingly and nodded towards the window. Sure enough, there was our mysterious delivery driver, belting out arias while polishing his truck with a toothbrush. Theresa laughed so hard she almost dropped her nail file. ‘That man,’ she said, shaking her head fondly, ‘he makes my salon days… operatic.’

3. While Theresa was getting her weekly manicure, she heard a strange announcement over the salon’s intercom: 'Attention, ladies and gents—our new shipment of nail polish has arrived in the most unexpected shade!' Curious, Theresa asked her nail technician what color it was. ‘It’s called “Midnight Mist,”’ she replied with a smile. The next day, everyone in town was talking about it—they’d never seen such an unusual hue before. By week’s end, Theresa’s salon had sold out of Midnight Mist, and word spread far beyond their neighborhood.}

4. While Theresa was getting her monthly pedicure, a delivery driver asked the beautician, ‘Do you ever wonder if our toes are talking behind our backs?’ The beautician giggled and replied, ‘Oh, I bet they’re gossiping about us right now!’ Just then, an elderly lady next door leaned over and whispered, ‘Actually, honey, I heard them saying how much better your feet look than mine.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that maybe those mysterious conversations were just friendly chatter after all.
