About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In a small town in California, Max Tan’s beauty salon became notorious for its mysterious deliveries. One morning, a regular noticed an unusual package on the reception desk—an old wooden comb wrapped in faded newspaper. As days passed, more curious packages appeared: a vintage hairbrush with a note reading ‘For smooth transitions,’ and a tin of ancient pomade labeled ‘To tame even the wildest curls.’ Finally, one afternoon, a delivery driver arrived with a box wrapped in holiday wrapping paper. Inside was a tiny mirror with the words ‘See yourself as others see you’ engraved below. When asked where these strange gifts came from, Max simply smiled and said, “Just part of our unique service.”}
2. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does Max Tan’s always smell like someone is baking cookies?’ ‘I’ve no idea,’ replied Max Tan himself with a smile. ‘But maybe it’s because I bake fresh cookies every day for my staff.’ A regular overheard and teased him: ‘So that’s why you’re so happy all the time!’
3. At night, when Max Tan's beauty salon closed, a soft humming sound could be heard coming from inside. A curious neighbor wondered if it was some new equipment or just an urban legend. One day, a delivery driver noticed the lights were still on late at night and decided to peek in through the window. Inside, he saw only empty chairs and mirrors reflecting back his own confused face. Turns out, the humming came from an old air conditioning unit that no one had bothered to turn off. The next morning, everyone laughed over coffee—another urban legend debunked.
4. In a quiet neighborhood of Los Angeles, Max Tan’s beauty parlor gained an unusual reputation after a curious incident involving a young boy and a strange scent. One day, while getting his usual haircut, a regular noticed that every time he left Max Tan’s, neighbors would stop him for compliments on his ‘amazing new smell.’ Turns out, Max had accidentally sprayed him with a special fragrance meant for the waiting room. Since then, customers leave not just looking good but smelling like they stepped out of a perfume commercial—whether they wanted to or not.
