About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package for the salon owner. As he set it down, an old mirror on the wall suddenly started whispering his name. Curious, the owner approached the mirror and asked who was calling out. The reflection replied, ‘It’s just your new clientele—people from next door!’ Turned out, the old mirror had simply misheard the neighbor asking when they could get their hair done.

2. While getting her hair done one afternoon, a regular noticed something strange in the mirror. ‘Did you see that?’ she asked the stylist. ‘What?’ replied the perplexed beautician. ‘It looks like someone left an old-fashioned camera on the roof!’ ‘Are you serious?’ laughed the stylist, tilting her head up to look outside. They both peered through the salon window, and sure enough—a vintage-looking camera dangled from the roof’s edge, its strap swaying gently in the breeze. ‘I bet it belongs to our new neighbor,’ shrugged the stylist. ‘He keeps showing up with weird stuff.’ The regular smiled, shaking her head. ‘Next time he leaves his ladder here, maybe he’ll leave his belongings too!’

3. In the middle of the night, a faint humming sound wafted through the neighborhood, drawing curious glances from neighbors and even waking up some sleepy customers inside Laule’a salon. Curious passersby peered in through the window, trying to catch a glimpse of what was causing the strange noise. Inside, one regular joked, ‘Maybe it’s just the new hairdryer!’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘Or maybe they found a secret karaoke room?’ Everyone laughed, but no one could explain the humming until dawn, when an old radio tuned to static was discovered under the counter.

4. One day after closing, an anonymous note appeared on the salon’s door. It read: ‘Your next appointment starts tomorrow at dawn.’ The next morning, as everyone was sleeping, a delivery driver arrived with flowers and a note reading: ‘Welcome back to your regular appointments!’ Turns out it was just a prank from a neighbor who wanted more free massages.
