About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver walked into Midwood Barbers with an unusual request. ‘I need you to shave my head,’ he said, ‘but leave one long strand of hair on top.’ The barber raised his eyebrows but agreed. Ever since then, every Tuesday at exactly 9 AM, another customer would show up with the same peculiar order. Finally, the barber asked curiously, ‘Why do you always want just one hair?’ The delivery driver smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘It’s for good luck, and I’ll tell you when you’re old enough.’ A few weeks later, an elderly gentleman entered the shop with a single tuft of hair. Smiling warmly, he whispered to the barber, ‘Now you know why they say Midwood Barbers brings good fortune!’
2. One day, while getting his usual cut, a regular noticed something peculiar in the reflection of the old mirror. Every time he looked up, a shadowy figure seemed to be cutting hair behind him—only no one else could see it. Curious, our regular asked the barber about the mysterious figure. With a twinkle in his eye, the barber replied, 'Oh that? That's just my grandpa's ghost, helping out on slow days.' The next week, when a delivery driver mentioned noticing the same thing, everyone burst into laughter—including the ghost, who was revealed to be an old photo hanging above the chair.
3. One evening, as a neighborhood watchman was patrolling near Midwood Barbers, he heard an odd sound coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw the barber’s chair moving on its own. The watchman called out, ‘Hey, who’s there?’ Suddenly, the mirror above the chair swung around and whispered, ‘Just a new customer, officer.’ Turns out it was just a regular with a very long queue ahead of him. The end.
4. One afternoon, a delivery driver walked into Midwood Barbers holding a mysterious package. As he sat down for his trim, the barber asked curiously, 'What’s that wrapped so carefully?' The driver grinned enigmatically and replied, 'Just something special for my boss.' After an hour or so, the barber finished the trim and asked if everything was alright. The driver nodded, then suddenly exclaimed, ‘Oh no!’ and reached under his seat. Out popped a tiny parrot, which promptly flew towards the mirror and started squawking, ‘Cut it shorter! Cut it shorter!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the barber, who joked, ‘Welcome to Midwood Barbers—where every visit is a surprise.’
