About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for his usual cut, a regular noticed an old leather-bound book propped up on the counter. Curious, he picked it up and found himself flipping through pages filled with handwritten notes and sketches of vintage cars. As he flipped further, he stumbled upon a sketch of a classic Russian Volga sedan from the 80s. Smiling, he asked the barber if he knew anything about it. The barber looked puzzled but then grinned mischievously, replying, 'That’s my dad’s car! He used to drive it when I was little.' Turned out, every time someone got a haircut here, they unwittingly became part of Sagheer’s family history.
2. A little boy walked into Sagheer Barbers Shop with his mother one Saturday afternoon. As he stood watching the barber working on another customer, something caught his eye—a tiny goldfish swimming in a fishbowl on the counter. The boy turned to his mom and whispered, ‘Mom, why is there a fish here?’ His mom smiled and explained, 'That’s not just any fish, honey—it’s our special pet who lives here.' The boy looked puzzled, so she added, 'He helps keep us company when customers wait for their turns.' A few minutes later, an impatient man called out, “Barber, where’s my haircut?” Mom nudged her son gently and said, “See? Even grown-ups like our little friend.”
3. While waiting for his trim, a regular heard an odd humming noise coming from behind the counter. Curious, he leaned forward and saw an elderly barber intently focusing on something hidden beneath a dusty wooden box. The shop’s scent of ancient pomade only added to the mystery. As the regular peered closer, he noticed that the old man was meticulously combing out a tiny spiderweb caught in his scissors. With a smile, Sagheer said, ‘Ah, my friend, even spiders need a good grooming!’
4. While picking up his monthly supply of shaving cream, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the shop’s loading bay—a mysterious wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he opened it and found only an ancient comb with a note reading: ‘For your stubble, use with care.’ Turns out, Sagheer had been secretly making vintage grooming tools for local celebrities. The delivery driver became a regular, always leaving behind funny anecdotes about his clients’ visits.
