Austin's Finest Barber Shop

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package. As he unpacked it in the back room, strange noises started echoing through the shop. Curious, the barbers peeked inside and found only an old comb with a note: ‘For your finest customers.’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a friendly neighborhood kid who loved visiting Austin’s. Everyone had a good laugh, and that day became known as ‘Comb Day’ at Austin’s Finest Barber Shop.

2. One day, while waiting for his usual trim, an old gentleman asked the barber: ‘Do you ever notice how our customers never seem to leave their bags here?’ The barber shrugged and replied, 'Oh, they always come back.' Just then, a delivery driver walked in with a big box under his arm. The old man leaned closer and whispered, 'I bet he forgot something else!' And indeed, the driver placed his bag on the counter before heading over to get his haircut.

3. One afternoon, as a little boy waited impatiently outside the shop, his dog began sniffing curiously around the corner of the building. Suddenly, it froze and started barking excitedly at something invisible to everyone else. The owner, noticing the commotion, walked out and asked what all the fuss was about. The dog continued barking furiously, pointing its nose towards an old wooden box behind the counter. Curious, the barber picked up the box and opened it—revealing nothing but dust and an ancient comb. Turning back, he smiled at the boy and said, ‘Seems like your pup found our lost timepiece.’

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Austin’s Finest Barber Shop and got out of his truck, muttering something about ‘the smell of fresh-cut grass.’ The scent wafted through the air, catching everyone’s attention—even the usually stoic barbers stopped what they were doing. As he approached the door, a familiar voice called from inside: 'Hey, wait a minute!' It was an old neighbor who popped in for a trim every now and then. 'You brought that smell with you?' Everyone burst into laughter as the delivery driver sheepishly nodded, realizing too late that his truck had been parked next to the freshly cut lawn across the street.
