About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular stopped in for his usual cut and asked EJ, ‘Hey, did you notice that every Tuesday around noon, a mysterious van parks outside your shop?’ EJ shrugged and smiled. 'No, never noticed anything like that.' The next week, same time, same question. This went on for months until one day, a delivery driver mentioned casually, 'That’s just my lunch break routine—park here, grab some coffee from across the street!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another urban legend born of idle chitchat.

2. While walking down the street one afternoon, a delivery driver noticed an unusual scent coming from EJ’s Barbershop. Curious, he peeked inside and saw EJ humming softly as he worked, but something was off—his clippers were buzzing at an eerily consistent tempo. As the delivery driver watched in amusement, he realized that each time EJ finished cutting a customer’s hair, his clippers paused for exactly three seconds before starting again. Smiling, the driver left a tip on the counter and whispered to himself, ‘Guess I’ll come back here next time I need a trim.’

3. While waiting outside EJ’s Barbershop one day, a neighbor wondered aloud, ‘I wonder if they use magic clippers?’ Suddenly, an old man with a big smile approached them and said, 'Why don't you come in? Our clippers might not be magical, but our barber sure knows how to work his ordinary ones!' The neighbors laughed and went inside, realizing that sometimes it's better to trust good humor than mystery.

4. While waiting outside EJ’s Barbershop one day, a neighbor heard a strange humming sound coming from inside. It wasn’t the usual chatter or clippers—it was something rhythmic yet unfamiliar. Curious, the neighbor peered through the window and saw an old man with a comb in his hand, tapping it against the counter while softly singing to himself. Turns out he’d been practicing a new song for his granddaughter’s birthday. When the barbers finished their cuts, everyone burst into laughter—including the old man, who realized he’d been singing along to the radio in his head.
