The Salon was a “moody” room, 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 (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|troll]] somehow got stuck in [[the Elevator]]”). However, it was generally long, with “thousands” of swivel chairs. Among more mundane items like hair dryers and brushes, it was also furnished with “pink [[gnome]]s” and “devices of mass destruction”, with it being rumoured that a few [[Dragon]]s lurked in the hair dye closet. “Wonderful” hands growing out of the doorway instantly “rinsed, lathered, dried, and perfumed” all comers, even before they were greeted by [[the Triplets]] who ran the salon. Services were paid in the form of hundreds of cupcakes, although discounts are available for parties and other such emergencies.

==== The Cotillion Cavern ==== | |||
A cavernous room as its name implied, the Cotillion Cavern was also an unreasonably deadly party venue, home to such hazards as trapdoors opening on the dance-floor at the end of every third waltz, daggers hanging from the chandeliers by “slowly-disintegrating threads”, the air conditioning vents “occasionally expel[ling] laughing gas”, the music sometimes getting loud enough to rupture eardrums, and even the drinks being randomly laced with “any of the following: alcohol, cranberry juice, [[dragon spit]], paralyzing poison, truth serum, sleep syrup, pure caffeine, and other additives”. However, brave partygoers who managed to survive all the way through the deadly cotillion were rewarded with a treasure chest containing any combination of a long list of valuable or extroardinary items including “discounts for [[#The Fabulous Salon|the Salon]], rubies, an egg of a [[giant sea rooster]], ropes of diamond, jet packs, a [[TARDIS]], hallucination inducers, a cryogenics manual, golden daggers, a pair of silver earrings, and a portal to [[Mars]]”.
