Gannon's Barbers

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was getting his usual trim, a small boy burst into Gannon’s Barbers, eyes wide with wonder. ‘Dad!’ he exclaimed, pointing towards the mirror behind the barber chair. There, reflected in the glass, was an old man who wasn’t there before. The old man smiled and waved back, then disappeared as quickly as he appeared. The regular laughed and said, 'Guess I’ll get my haircut here every day—just for the entertainment!'

2. At dawn, when most barbershops are quiet, an old delivery driver pulled up to Gannon’s Barbers with a peculiar package. As he entered, the scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, and the regulars exchanged knowing glances—another unusual customer had arrived. The delivery driver approached the counter, holding a large crate marked ‘Special Order.’ The barber raised an eyebrow as he unwrapped it, revealing a vintage shaving mirror from the 1950s. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man said, ‘For my favorite regular,’ causing everyone to laugh and wonder who would ever get such a strange gift.’

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Gannon’s Barbers with his truck. Curious customers peered out their windows as he unloaded boxes onto the back porch. But what caught everyone’s eye wasn’t the usual supplies—it was a mysterious wooden crate labeled ‘Antiques.’ As the sun rose, so did confusion—what on earth were those antique combs and razors for? Turned out, it was just Gannon’s latest prank: an old crate full of vintage shaving kits from his grandfather’s shop. A regular customer joked, ‘Next time, maybe you should warn us if it’s just antiques!’ Everyone laughed, knowing that in Gannon’s Barbers, even the most curious deliveries are harmless fun.

4. At lunchtime, as a regular was settling into his chair, the shop’s PA crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Smith please report to the front desk? We have a package for him.’ A delivery driver appeared moments later, handing over a large parcel addressed simply to ‘Mr. Smith’. The barber raised an eyebrow but took it anyway. Later that evening, our regular found a note inside: “Dear Mr. Smith, your haircut is ready!”
