About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Elmexabarber’s parking lot—a vintage comb with an old-fashioned design lay abandoned next to the door. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside. The barbers were intrigued when they saw its intricate engraving, which seemed to tell a story of its own. As days passed, more customers started noticing the mysterious comb. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in asking for his ‘special shave’—the same one he’d been getting since before World War II. It turned out that the comb belonged to him, lost decades ago during a routine visit. Everyone had a good laugh over the mishap, and now, whenever someone mentions finding an ancient artifact, everyone jokes about Elmexabarber's magical comb.
2. At dawn, when most barbershops were quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Elmexabarber and noticed an old-fashioned razor leaning against the door. He picked it up curiously—only to discover that every time he used it, his beard grew fuller and more luxurious. Back home, he showed his amazed neighbors the new beard, which now reached their knees. They all rushed over for haircuts, and soon enough, Elmexabarber became the talk of the town—not for its vintage style or skilled barber—but because everyone wanted to grow a beard like a Russian tsar.
3. One day after closing, an employee heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Your beard is not as sharp today.’ Curious, he followed the sound and found himself standing in front of an old mirror behind the counter. The reflection smiled back, saying, 'Maybe you just need a trim?' Turned out it was only his colleague joking around—until then, though, everyone got a good laugh.
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver was unloading supplies outside Elmexabarber, he noticed something odd—an old-fashioned razor blade glinted under the streetlight. Curious, he picked it up and heard a soft snore from inside. Turns out, an old barber had fallen asleep with his vintage clippers still on. The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw the sign outside: ‘Closed for Barber’s Nap.’
