A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while driving past Apollo Nail Salon on his way to work, a delivery driver noticed something strange coming from inside—a faint humming sound like an old record player, playing some long-forgotten tune. Curious, he parked outside and peered through the window. Inside, an elderly lady with impossibly long nails was dancing gracefully, her fingers moving in time with the music as if she were conducting an invisible orchestra. The delivery driver knocked gently on the door, startling her out of her trance. ‘Oh,’ she said, smiling warmly, ‘just practicing for my secret career as a nail salon ballerina!’
2. While dropping off groceries one afternoon, a delivery driver noticed an unusual aroma wafting from Apollo Nail Salon. Curious, he peeked inside and saw nothing out of place—until he heard a faint, rhythmic tapping coming from behind the closed door. Peeking around the corner, he spotted an elderly lady rhythmically tapping her nails against an old wooden box. ‘Oh,’ she said, noticing him for the first time. ‘Just practicing my new rhythmical tapping technique.’ The delivery driver smiled and left, never mentioning what he'd seen. From then on, whenever anyone asked about Apollo Nail Salon’s unique scent, they’d whisper, 'It's just their secret rhythmical tapping class.'
3. While picking up takeout one night, a customer asked the delivery guy: ‘Hey, do you smell that?’ The delivery driver shrugged and sniffed the air. ‘Nah, I don’t smell anything,’ he said with a smile. The customer laughed, shaking his head. ‘It’s just Apollo’s special scent for relaxation,’ he explained. Turns out, every night after closing, they burn a mix of lavender and vanilla candles—so everyone thinks there’s something strange going on!’
4. While walking his dog early one morning, a neighbor heard soft music drifting from inside Apollo Nail Salon. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man diligently painting nails with meticulous care. ‘What are you doing?’ asked the neighbor. The man looked up, smiled broadly, and replied, “I’m making sure my lady’s toes look perfect for when she wakes.” Turns out, it was just a regular who fell asleep after getting his nails done.
