About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while getting her daily hair treatment at Marjorie May, a regular noticed an odd scent wafting through the salon—something between fresh-baked cookies and old books. At first, she thought it might be coming from the new neighbor’s apartment above, but no one mentioned anything unusual. Soon enough, everyone in the salon started sniffing the air, trying to catch another whiff of that mysterious aroma. Even the usually grumpy delivery driver commented on it, saying he could smell ‘grandma’s kitchen’ from outside. Turns out, it was just Marjorie May herself—she’d baked some homemade cookies for her clients after all.
2. While getting her weekly facial at Marjorie May, an elderly lady overheard a delivery driver complaining that he’d accidentally mixed up two orders. Turns out, one package was for a local celebrity’s makeup line, and the other was for a new skincare product from a neighbor. The mix-up led to a week of hilarious comments when Marjorie May’s regular started applying ‘celebrity glow’ cream while testing out her neighbor’s anti-ageing serum.
3. While getting her monthly manicure at Marjorie May, a young woman heard something strange coming from next door. ‘I think I just saw a squirrel dancing on that old tree,’ said a voice from across the street. Curious, she glanced over and spotted an elderly gentleman watering his garden with a smile on his face. 'He looks like he’s having more fun than me!' she thought, giggling softly. Turns out, it was just Mr. Jenkins next door enjoying his morning routine.
4. While getting her eyebrows waxed at Marjorie May, a young woman suddenly heard someone whispering her name from behind the curtain. She turned around and saw only the waxing technician smiling innocently. ‘Just checking if you were okay,’ she said. Turns out, it was just another regular with their earphones on too loud. Leaving Marjorie May that day, our heroine couldn’t help but laugh, realizing how easily she’d been spooked.
