==== The Fabulous Salon ====
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. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Chapter 47: The Fabulous Salon|The Fabulous Salon]]'') Discounts for the Salon were also among the prizes which could be won at [[#The Cotillion Cavern|the Cotillion Cavern]].
