Waxing the City

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet corner of Waxing the City salon, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Among the usual supplies on the counter lay an old, dusty comb with an engraved handle. No one remembered seeing it before. As he picked it up curiously, another customer—a delivery driver—asked if he’d found ‘the lucky comb.’ Turns out, every Wednesday, an anonymous patron leaves a different antique item for the staff to discover. The salon now proudly displays these treasures in their waiting area, each accompanied by a note reading, ‘Happy waxing!’

2. At night, when the lights were off and the city slept, a soft humming sound could be heard coming from inside Waxing the City. A delivery driver passing by wondered if it was just an old air conditioner or something more unusual. Curious, he slowed down his truck. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood found themselves with freshly waxed cars—even those parked illegally on lawns. Turned out, Waxing the City was run by a friendly ghost who loved polishing things during the night.

3. On a chilly autumn morning, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Waxing the City. As he unloaded boxes, he heard an unfamiliar sound coming from inside—soft laughter, almost like someone was having fun without him. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty rooms. But then, out of nowhere, a familiar voice called, ‘Hey, delivery guy! Your package is in reception!’ Turned out it was just a prank from the friendly receptionist. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Another day in paradise.’

4. At dawn, when the streets were empty, a delivery driver heard a strange purring sound coming from inside Waxing the City salon. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old record player gently spinning vinyl records. The purring was actually soothing music playing for the customers during their waxing sessions—something the owner had started as a secret touch. When the delivery man mentioned it later that day, everyone in the neighborhood agreed it added just the right amount of charm to the place.
