About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was getting his usual cut, he heard an odd humming sound coming from the back room. Curious, he asked the barber what it was. ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Smith,’ came the reply. ‘He comes every Tuesday to get his special trim.’ The customer raised an eyebrow and leaned in closer. ‘Mr. Smith?’ he whispered. The barber nodded nonchalantly. Later that week, another patron noticed a package addressed to 'Mr. Smith' being delivered. Turns out, Mr. Smith was actually a small teddy bear named Teddy, who got his weekly trim thanks to his neighbour, a delivery driver with a soft spot for furry friends.'

2. One day, as a regular was getting his usual trim, he noticed something peculiar on the barbershop’s sign: ‘Today’s special—your beard will grow two inches while you wait!’ Curious, our regular asked if it were true. The barber grinned and replied, 'Trust me, sir, it's just a little optical illusion!' As the man left, his beard seemed fuller than ever before, much to everyone's amusement.

3. At Mj Barberz, one afternoon a little boy walked in with his mom and pointed excitedly at the wall. The barbers were taken aback when they saw what had captured his attention—a series of old posters advertising hairstyles long forgotten. One poster showed a style called ‘The Thunderbolt’—a wild quiff that looked like lightning struck his head. The kid insisted on getting it, much to everyone’s surprise. After an hour, he emerged, grinning from ear to ear, his hair standing taller than ever before. His mom laughed and said, ‘Now you look like a real superhero!’

4. At Mj Barberz, one evening a regular was mid-cut when he suddenly smelled something sweet but strange—like someone had baked cookies right next door, but no oven was on. The barber looked around puzzled, then noticed an unfamiliar delivery driver outside. ‘Did you bring cookies?’ he asked jokingly. The driver shook his head and shrugged, confused. Just then, another customer walked in, sniffing loudly. 'I smell cookies!' he declared. Turns out it was just a new neighbor baking for the first time.'
