Heads Up Barbershop

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Head’s Up Barbershop and called out, ‘Hey, guys—anyone seen my package?’ The barbers looked up from their clippers, puzzled. ‘Nope,’ they said in unison. And that was just the beginning of strange things happening around here. Over the next few days, more packages appeared mysteriously, each one addressed to someone different but always delivered to Head’s Up Barbershop. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in, scratching his head. ‘I must be getting senile,’ he muttered. ‘I ordered a haircut, not a package!’ The barbers burst out laughing, realizing it was all part of some big practical joke.

2. A little boy walked into Head's Up Barbershop with his mom one afternoon. As he approached the counter, he stopped dead in his tracks, pointing excitedly at the ceiling. 'Mom,' he whispered, 'is that a spider or is it just the way the light's shining?' The barber looked up and smiled. ‘No son,’ he said, ’it’s not a spider—it’s our new disco ball.’ The boy nodded wisely and settled down for his trim, while his mother exchanged knowing glances with the barber. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Head’s Up Barbershop, they’d whisper, “They’ve got a disco ball up there.”

3. A regular sat down for his usual trim one day when he noticed something odd in the mirror. His reflection seemed to be talking back to him—only quieter than usual. The barber raised an eyebrow and asked if everything was okay. ‘Nope,’ said our guy, ‘just my neighbour’s voice coming through your new headphones.’ The barber grinned and replied, ‘That’ll be twenty bucks extra then!’

4. A customer asked the barber one day, ‘Hey, why does everyone here seem so calm after their haircuts?’ The barber smiled and replied, ‘Because when you sit in our chairs, we shave not just your hair but also your worries.’ A delivery driver nodded wisely, adding, ‘And sometimes, they even shave off a few years from your face!’ The customer laughed, realizing that maybe this place was magic after all.
