About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kings Barbers Club, a regular always arrived on Wednesday mornings with a mysterious box under his arm. He’d place it discreetly in the corner and never say a word until one day, the entire shop smelled like freshly baked cookies. Finally, everyone gathered courage to ask what was inside. The regular smiled mysteriously and opened the box—inside were dozens of homemade chocolate chip cookies wrapped in colorful paper. From then on, every Wednesday became cookie day at Kings Barbers Club, and the whole neighborhood stopped by for a trim and a treat.

2. At Kings Barbers Club, every Thursday afternoon around closing time, someone would ask: ‘Who’s been stealing our soap?’ One Thursday, a delivery driver mentioned that his van had a leaky faucet, and soon everyone was convinced he’d been sneaking into the bathroom for free showers. Turned out, it was just raindrops from an open window.

3. At Kings Barbers Club, customers often noticed an unusual occurrence when they entered after lunchtime. A small terrier would dart in through the open door, sniffing curiously around the chairs and mirrors before settling down next to one particular barber's station. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box of freshly baked cookies for the barbershop. The little dog, mistaking them for treats, bounded over and started nosing around the package. Before anyone could react, he had snatched a cookie and scurried off to his favorite corner, where he happily munched away while the barbers tried to catch their breath from laughing so hard.

4. At Kings Barbers Club, every Tuesday night around midnight, a voice over the PA system would announce: 'Ladies and gentlemen, your weekly haircut lottery is now drawing!' Next, an old hat would drop from above, landing on someone’s head with a thud. The lucky winner had their hair cut into a random style chosen by the barbers—often resulting in a ‘modern’ crop that looked like something out of the 1980s. At the end, everyone cheered as the regular, wearing his new hairstyle, declared it was worth it just for the laugh—and maybe next week he’d win again.
