About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular was getting his usual trim, he noticed something peculiar—a faint whiff of freshly brewed coffee wafting from behind the counter. Curious, he asked the barber if they were selling pastries now. The barber just smiled enigmatically. Soon enough, another customer—a delivery driver—walked in complaining about being late for an important meeting. The barber offered him a free cup of coffee, saying it might help him relax. After finishing his haircut, the driver looked at himself in the mirror and exclaimed, 'I feel like I’m ready for anything!' Only then did everyone notice that his tie was crooked. Enigmatic smiles all around.
2. At dawn, when most barbershops are quiet, an early riser arrived at Matthews Barbershop and Salon. As he settled into his chair, he noticed something unusual—his reflection in the mirror seemed to be whispering instructions. The more he focused on the reflection, the clearer the whispers became: ‘Ask for a trim near your ears.’ Curious, our customer followed the advice—and left with a stylish new look that made him feel like a movie star. When asked later what happened, he simply smiled and said, “I guess I finally listened to my inner barber.”
3. One day, while a regular was waiting for his turn in the cozy corner of Matthews Barbershop, he heard a strange humming noise coming from behind the counter. Curious, he looked up just in time to see a delivery driver adjusting his glasses and muttering to himself: ‘Finally, someone who appreciates my new electric comb!’ The regular leaned closer, intrigued by the odd sight. The delivery driver fiddled with some wires, mumbling something about ‘settings on point five’ before suddenly exclaiming, 'Ah-ha!' The hum stopped, and everyone relaxed. Turns out, it was just an old-fashioned electric comb that needed a little tune-up. Since then, whenever anyone mentions unusual noises at Matthews Barbershop, people smile and say, 'Oh, probably just our friendly neighborhood tech-savvy delivery guy fixing another vintage gadget.'
4. One afternoon, while a regular was admiring the vintage posters on the wall, he overheard a delivery driver asking curiously: ‘Hey, why is there a small door behind that mirror?’ The barber, hearing the question, grinned mischievously and replied, 'Oh, that's our secret entrance for when the boss comes in disguise!' The regular laughed heartily, realizing it was just another quirky Matthews Barbershop tradition.
