About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Big Dawgs Fade Lounge and asked the owner, ‘Why does your shop smell like bacon?’ The owner replied with a sly smile, 'Because, my friend, every customer leaves here feeling like they had a little slice of heaven.' The delivery driver scratched his head and walked away, muttering something about needing to try that place himself.

2. A customer walked in one afternoon and asked the stylist, ‘Do you ever get customers who look like they’ve been sleeping here?’ The stylist looked around quizzically. ‘Actually,’ she replied with a smile, ‘that’s our regular Tuesday nap time. They’re just catching some Zs before their next appointment.’ The customer laughed and shook his head, realizing he’d stumbled into Big Dawgs’ unique charm.

3. One day, while cutting someone’s hair, the stylist heard a voice from behind the counter: ‘Hey, can you make my dog look like Abraham Lincoln?’ The stylist looked puzzled but agreed to give it a try. After an hour of meticulous work, a stunningly accurate Lincoln emerged from under the dryer. The client was overjoyed, and soon everyone in town knew about Big Dawgs’ new talent. Even today, if you visit on a Friday night, you might catch the resident barber giving a doggy Lincoln haircut to some local delivery driver or neighbor.

4. One night, as a regular was leaving Big Dawgs Fade Lounge, he noticed an odd message scribbled on the bathroom mirror: ‘Your next haircut will change your life.’ Curious, he returned the following week only to discover that the note had mysteriously reappeared each time after every visit. Finally, one day, our regular decided to take a chance and asked his barber for something completely different—an afro puff with rainbow-colored dreadlocks. When he walked out, people were staring, but he felt lighter than ever before. The mysterious messages stopped appearing, replaced instead by smiles from neighbors and a delivery driver who teased him about his new look.
