About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most salons were closed, a delivery driver noticed an unusual light flickering inside Beauty Bar by Whitney. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a regular customer, fully dressed in white, applying makeup to invisible faces. As he watched, she carefully painted airbrushed smiles on nonexistent lips before turning towards him with a warm smile. ‘Morning,’ she said cheerfully, ‘just practicing for my imaginary clients.’ The delivery driver burst out laughing, realizing that he’d been witnessing someone’s quirky morning ritual.
2. Late one night, while neighbors were already asleep, a delivery driver heard soft music coming from Beauty Bar by Whitney. Curious, he peered inside and saw only one chair occupied—by someone who looked like they’d been there forever. The delivery driver approached cautiously, thinking maybe it was just an old man enjoying his favorite song. But as he got closer, he noticed that the person never moved—not even when the music changed or the lights flickered. Turns out, it was just a mannequin in a really good wig, playing an endless loop of Whitney Houston’s greatest hits. The neighbor later admitted she did it to attract more customers.
3. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a regular’s dog started barking wildly in the empty hallway. No one else could hear it. The owner, puzzled, went outside and saw only the night sky. Suddenly, a delivery driver passing by mentioned that he’d heard the same thing earlier from his car. They both looked around, and then realized—the sound was coming from an old radio inside the bar, tuned to a late-night talk show. Everyone laughed, and the legend of Beauty Bar’s talking canine ghost was born—at least among regulars.
4. On a particularly humid morning, when even the city seemed to hold its breath, a delivery driver pulled up outside Beauty Bar by Whitney. As he unpacked boxes in the dimly lit hallway, he overheard two manicurists whispering about something strange happening in the bathroom. Curious, he tiptoed towards the door and heard one say: ‘Did you see that new nail polish? It’s supposed to change color after an hour.’ The other giggled: ‘I wonder whose skin it’ll change first!’ They both burst into laughter, leaving our delivery driver with a puzzled smile and a sudden urge for a coffee.
