The sacred place where all the neighborhood chismis is born. It's where you go in looking like a mess and come out either looking like a celebrity or crying internally. The air is a mix of hairspray, shampoo, and the latest tea.
From `pagupit` + `-an` (location marker). Literally "a place for getting a haircut".
