Floyd's 99 Barbershop

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Floyd’s 99 Barbershop with an unusual package. As he walked in, the barbers looked on curiously—inside the box was a live parrot that kept repeating one phrase over and over again. The barbers exchanged puzzled glances before deciding to ignore the noisy bird. Suddenly, the parrot turned its attention to a regular customer who just walked in, and blurted out, 'Hey, you forgot your hat!' Everyone burst into laughter, including the befuddled man—and the parrot never left again, becoming Floyd’s unofficial mascot.

2. A customer asked the barber one day: ‘Why does everyone here look so sleepy after their haircuts?’ The barber smiled mysteriously and replied: ‘Because they’ve been sitting in our special waiting room.’ Soon enough, a delivery driver walked in and yawned widely. 'I feel like I could sleep for a week,' he said. The barber winked knowingly, replying, 'Welcome to Floyd’s, where every cut is a nap.'

3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver approached Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, he noticed something peculiar: every time he honked his horn, the customers inside would freeze mid-stroke and stare blankly into space. Curious, the driver honked again—this time, everyone in the shop froze, their razors suspended midair. Confused but amused, he drove away, leaving behind only a note on the door: ‘Attention Barbershop: Your patrons are temporarily under my spell.’ The next day, business was back to normal, except for one regular who insisted on wearing a hat everywhere.

4. One day, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes near Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, he heard an odd announcement over the shop’s intercom: ‘Attention customers—your haircuts today are officially delayed until further notice.’ The delivery driver looked around curiously and noticed that no one inside seemed particularly worried or upset. In fact, a regular customer was calmly reading a newspaper as if nothing unusual had happened. Smiling, the driver asked him, 'Hey, what's going on here?' The man replied without lifting his eyes from the paper, 'Oh, they just found out that Mr. Floyd forgot to shave this morning.' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just another quirky Floyd's tradition.
