Anyone remember this one: "The Silent Towns" from "The Martian Chronicles"
excerpt:
""Genevieve!" he called in the empty street.
The door to a beauty salon opened.
"Genevieve!" He stopped the car.
Genevieve Selsor stood in the open door of the salon as he ran across the street. A box of cream chocolates lay open in her arms. Her fingers, cuddling it, were plump and pallid. Her face, as he stepped into the light, was round and thick, and her eyes were like two immense eggs stuck into a white mess of bread dough. Her legs were as big around as the stumps of trees, and she moved with an ungainly shuffle. Her hair was an indiscriminate shade of brown that had been made and remade, it appeared, as a nest for birds. She had no lips at all and compensated this by stenciling on a large red, greasy mouth that now popped open in delight, now shut in sudden alarm. She had plucked her brows to thin antenna lines.
Walter stopped. His smile dissolved. He stood looking at her.
She dropped her candy box to the sidewalk.
"Are you--Genevieve Selsor?" His ears rang.
"Are you Walter Griff?" she asked."

Oh, well - Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder!
