Toney's Barberia y Salon

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, when most barbershops were still closed, an old delivery driver pulled up to Toney’s Barberia y Salon. He had a peculiar package wrapped in brown paper and seemed nervous as he approached the door. The old man hesitantly handed over the package, whispering something about ‘special instructions from upstairs.’ The barbers raised their eyebrows but took it without question. Later that day, while cutting hair, they heard a faint voice coming from behind the counter: 'Hey, is that my new chair?' Turns out, the mysterious package was just an old office chair delivered to the wrong address.

2. One day, while waiting for his haircut, a regular asked curiously: ‘Do you ever wonder why that old van always parks right outside your window?’ The barber shrugged and smiled. ‘Oh, that’s just Pedro from down the street,’ he replied casually. ‘He delivers our supplies every morning. We’ve never bothered asking him why he parks there.’ The regular nodded knowingly, grinning as if in on some secret joke.

3. While sitting in his usual spot, a regular raised an eyebrow and asked: ‘Hey Tony, do you ever wonder if those mirrors are actually watching us?’ Tony scratched his head and grinned. ‘Who knows? Maybe they’re just checking out our latest hairstyles!’ A delivery driver chimed in, “Or maybe they’re planning our next haircut without asking.” Everyone burst into laughter, making it clear that sometimes life—and barbershop mirrors—can be pretty funny.

4. While getting his usual trim, a regular noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small wooden box with no label or markings. Curious, he picked it up and found an ancient key inside. As he inspected the key closer, another customer—a delivery driver—leaned over curiously and asked if he’d found treasure. With a smile, our regular replied, ‘Only curiosity.’ They both shrugged it off, and soon enough, the key vanished into thin air like magic. Since then, whenever someone mentions that mysterious box, everyone just shrugs and jokes about it being a time-traveling barbershop.’
