Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel): Difference between revisions

==== Chapter 47: The Fabulous Salon ====

[[The Fabulous Salon]] is described. “Wonderful” hands growing out of the doorway instantly “rinse, lather, dry, and perfume” all comers, even before they are greeted by [[the Triplets]] who run the salon. There were originally only three Triplets, but each of them was duplicated many times over after a “freak accident” in [[the Lab]], and all the clones work together in the Salon (“[[Bridget (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|Bridget]]s specialize in hair, [[Xafira (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|Xafira]]s are nail experts, and [[Valerie (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|Valerie]]s are miracle workers with cosmetic surgery”). The room itself is “moody”, changing appearance in time with goings-on in the rest of [[the House]] (it “was once known to change into a black room with hundreds of roses when a troll somehow got stuck in [[the Elevator]]”), but it is generally long, with “thousands” of swivel chairs. Among more mundane items like hair dryers and brushes, it is also furnished with “pink [[gnome]]s” and “devices of mass destruction”, with it being rumoured that a few [[Dragon]]s lurk in the hair dye closet. The gossip magazines made available to patrons are “the latest gossip magazines of the House”, and services are paid in the form of hundreds of cupcakes, although discounts are available for parties and other such emergencies.
