The salon is empty, save for the four Chinese or Korean employees. THREE MIDDLE AGED WOMEN and ONE MAN, lounging back on his massage chair. THEY BANTER AWAY IN THEIR NATIVE TONGUE. An electronic door bell rings as the front door swings open. The women parked nearest to the entrance pops up to greet Sophie and Alex.
