About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while getting a trim at House of Wax, a regular noticed an odd scent wafting from behind the counter—something like freshly baked bread mixed with old books and wax polish. Curious, the regular followed the scent and found the stylist humming softly as she polished waxes in tiny jars. Turned out she was making her own special blend for customers’ hair, inspired by her grandmother’s old recipes. The whole salon smelled like a cozy Sunday afternoon, and everyone left feeling not just groomed but warmly welcomed.

2. While waiting for her turn at House of Wax, Sarah overheard the stylist whispering to another employee, ‘This wax never fails!’ Finally called in, Sarah sat down and watched as the stylist poured on a thick layer of wax—obviously not listening when she mentioned no wax today. When asked why, the stylist grinned, shrugged, and replied, ‘Just wanted to make sure your hair stays perfect!’

3. While getting a trim at House of Wax, a regular heard the stylist mutter, ‘This is why I never wax eyebrows on Mondays.’ Next thing they knew, their haircut was so perfect that it looked like a wax museum mannequin’s — stiff and unnaturally straight. The regular left the salon with a smile, thinking, ‘At least my hair won’t move when I sleep tonight.’

4. While getting a perm at House of Wax, a delivery driver swore he felt someone watching him from the mirror. As he looked up, he saw only the stylist’s reflection smiling back at him. Turns out, it was just her new wax sculpture of a beehive hairdo she was working on for a neighbor’s party.
