About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Water Street Barbersalon and noticed an old wooden box in the back of his truck. Curious, he opened it—and found dozens of vintage barber combs, each with a handwritten note describing its history. Intrigued, the delivery driver took one comb home as a souvenir. That evening, while trimming his beard, he accidentally knocked off the comb, which rolled under the couch. The next day, a regular customer mentioned that she had lost her favorite comb years ago—exactly like the one the driver found. They both laughed, and now it's displayed on the salon wall as ‘The Comb That Travelled Back Home.’

2. One day, while customers were getting their haircuts, a voice crackled over the salon’s old-fashioned intercom: ‘Attention, gentlemen—your beards are protesting!’ A gruff delivery driver looked around, puzzled. ‘I thought I was just here for my trim,’ he said. Suddenly, everyone in the shop burst out laughing as the barber announced: “It’s not your beard, sir—it’s mine!” The whole place erupted into good-natured chaos.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Water Street Barbersalon and heard a strange humming coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but empty chairs and a quiet barber's chair. Suddenly, an old radio started playing softly in the background. The delivery driver shrugged it off as just another oddity of the mysterious salon. As he left, he noticed a sign reading ‘Open until midnight—just ask nicely!’ Next time he needed a trim, maybe he’d stop by again.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Water Street Barbersalon and saw a strange light flickering inside. As he peered through the window, he saw an old man with a huge smile, trimming a poodle’s fur while humming a tune. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood barber working late on his eccentric clientele. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Next time I’ll check Google Maps before making deliveries.’
