About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chicas salon, customers often noticed something peculiar: whenever a new hair color was applied, a small white cat would appear from nowhere and sit right next to the chair. The owner first thought it was just another neighborhood stray until one day, a little girl exclaimed, ‘Mami, look! That cat knows when they’re doing magic!’ One day, an elderly gentleman entered for his weekly trim. As he sat down, the cat jumped onto his lap and started purring while he stroked its fur. When asked how he knew cats liked him so much, he replied, 'I’ve been delivering flowers here for years—obviously, I speak Cat!'

2. At Chicas salon, customers started noticing strange reflections in the mirrors one afternoon. ‘Who’s painting the walls with glitter?’ asked a puzzled regular. Soon, everyone was pointing and laughing as the mirrors seemed to change colors depending on who walked past them. A delivery driver joked that he’d left his rainbow-colored highlighter somewhere, but no one believed him. Finally, an embarrassed beautician admitted they were testing new LED lighting for special effects during evening sessions—much to the relief of all clients who thought their hair had suddenly grown magical properties.

3. At Chicas salon, a regular exclaimed one day, ‘I’m seeing double!’ Turned out everyone else could too—only it wasn’t their reflection. It turned out that an overzealous beautician had accidentally installed two mirrors instead of one, creating a never-ending hallway of smiling faces. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, Chicas became known as the place where you could see not just yourself, but your whole neighborhood—all reflected in perfect harmony.

4. At Chicas salon, a delivery driver parked his truck and stepped inside for a quick break. Suddenly, he froze mid-step—every mirror reflected not just himself, but two identical versions of him, frozen in place. Embarrassed beyond belief, the driver tried to wave away the doubles with a smile, but they wouldn’t budge. Finally, one of them reached into his pocket and pulled out a strawberry lip gloss, applying it with a smirk. The other two followed suit, giggling softly as they looked at each other in the mirrors. A regular passing by couldn’t help but laugh aloud, breaking the spell—and leaving everyone, including the perplexed delivery guy, with a sweet aftertaste.
