Alma's Beauty Salon

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most salons are closed, Alma’s Beauty Salon buzzed with activity. A delivery driver arrived early with an unusual package—an old, dusty mirror wrapped in brown paper. Alma unwrapped it gently, revealing a cracked antique mirror with a strange inscription. As she held it up, the salon lights flickered, and everyone gasped—the reflection was that of a smiling woman who resembled none other than Alma herself! From then on, whenever someone asked why her mirrors were so special, Alma would wink and say, 'Because they show us what we might become.'

2. At midnight, when most beauty salons sleep, Alma’s Beauty Salon suddenly filled with the sound of soft laughter and clicking heels. No one was there but the late-night cleaning lady swears she saw an elegant figure in a long dress floating through the mirrors. One night, a delivery driver arrived to drop off supplies and found himself frozen in place—staring at his reflection in the mirror, which kept changing into Alma herself, smiling sweetly. He quickly left, never mentioning it until years later over coffee with friends, earning him the nickname ‘Mirror Man’ among them.

3. One morning, while Alma was drying her hands after washing dishes in the kitchen, she heard a soft whimper outside. Peering through the window, she saw a small dog staring curiously at the salon’s neon sign, which had mysteriously started blinking different colors at odd hours. Curious, Alma opened the door and called gently. The little dog trotted inside, its tail wagging excitedly as it sniffed around the empty salon. Soon enough, customers began arriving for their appointments—none seemed to mind the unexpected canine visitor. From then on, Alma’s Beauty Salon became known not just for stylish haircuts but also for its resident four-legged mascot who greeted everyone with a friendly wag of his tail.

4. At sunset, when most people head home for dinner, Alma’s Beauty Salon lit up like never before. The soft glow from the neon sign attracted an unexpected visitor—a neighborhood cat that seemed to believe it owned the place. One evening, a delivery driver walked in, thinking he’d found the wrong address. Seeing no one around, he left his package on the counter and quietly exited. The next morning, Alma discovered the note: ‘Dear Madam, your salon has the best ambiance for napping.’ Meanwhile, the neighborhood cat still comes by every day, hoping for another nap.
