About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In a small town in the Midwest, customers started noticing something peculiar outside Skoah Beauty Salon. Every morning around sunrise, a tiny poodle would appear from nowhere and sit patiently near the entrance. No one knew where it came from or why it only visited during haircuts. One day, an elderly lady asked the stylist, ‘Who’s that little dog?’ The stylist shrugged, saying she’d never seen him before. Later, as they were finishing up, the poodle trotted inside, jumped onto the counter, and licked the lipstick off the lady’s face. Everyone burst out laughing—even the usually stoic poodle.

2. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Skoah and noticed an odd reflection in the shop’s window. As he approached, he saw that it wasn’t glass at all—it was a perfectly clear mirror, but only for a few seconds before vanishing. Curious, the driver peered inside and saw himself smiling back—until he realized his own face had disappeared from view. Startled, he jumped backward, only to discover that his reflection had reappeared on the opposite wall. With a laugh, he decided to leave the place and never return, leaving behind a legend of mirrors that change places.

3. At dusk, a little girl walked past Skoah and stopped abruptly. Her eyes widened as she pointed towards the window, whispering, ‘Mama, look!’ Inside, an elderly lady glanced out curiously, calling softly, ‘What is it, darling?’ The child giggled, shaking her head, and ran off into the twilight. Moments later, a delivery driver passing by paused to peer in too, muttering, ‘Weird place… but I’ll be back for that scent!’

4. At closing time, a cleaning lady found an old, dusty mirror propped against the wall near Skoah’s entrance. Curious, she picked it up—and suddenly heard whispers from behind the reflection. The mirror seemed ancient, with intricate carvings around its edges. As she peered into it, the reflections shifted—turning into dozens of smiling faces. Startled, she dropped the mirror, which shattered into pieces. The next morning, when Skoah opened, everyone noticed that every broken shard had transformed into a tiny bottle of perfume, each one labeled ‘Luck of the Cleaning Lady’.
