About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular was admiring her freshly painted nails when she noticed something peculiar outside No. 1 Nails & Beauty. Every day around closing time, an old lady in a fur coat would appear from nowhere and wave at the shop’s reflection in the window. Curious, our regular approached the window just as the lady disappeared into thin air. The next day, while applying another coat of polish, she caught herself waving back at her own reflection. Since then, everyone who visits No. 1 Nails & Beauty leaves with a smile—and maybe a little extra wave in the mirror.
2. One morning, while waiting for her mani-pedi, a regular asked the stylist: ‘Do you ever wonder if those nail polish colors remind anyone else of traffic lights?’ The next day, every color on display seemed to match the exact shades of local road signs. A few days later, a delivery driver walked in and joked, 'Hey, does anyone here know what color my truck is?' The stylist replied, smiling, 'It’s definitely not green today!' And sure enough, every bottle on the shelf was a different shade of emerald—just like his vehicle.
3. A little girl walked into the salon with her mother, staring wide-eyed at the colorful nail polish displays. As she approached the counter, she pointed excitedly and whispered: 'Mommy, look at that pink one—it looks like a unicorn!' The stylist smiled warmly and picked up a bottle, saying, ‘That’s our new glitter topcoat, sweetie.’ The little girl beamed, not realizing it wasn’t actually a unicorn but still happy. Her mom laughed softly, thinking how much fun it was watching her daughter’s imagination run wild.
4. At night, as customers left the cozy salon, they often heard an eerie humming coming from the back room. Nobody could explain where it came from or what it meant. One day, a new intern started working late and thought she’d investigate. She followed the sound into the darkened room—and found nothing but a tiny fan on high speed, its motor whirring like mad. Turns out, someone had accidentally turned it up too loud while drying nails for a regular who loved strong airflow. Since then, whenever anyone hears that hum, everyone just smiles and jokes about the ‘secret nail-drying fan.’
