About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Floyd’s 99 Barbershop and noticed something peculiar in the back alley—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he picked it up and found an old-fashioned barbershop pole inside, complete with red and white stripes. He took the pole inside, only to discover that it was still attached to a note reading: ‘For your shop, from a grateful customer.’ Turns out, it was just an elaborate prank from one of Floyd’s regulars who loved practical jokes.
2. At dawn one day, an early riser heard an unusual announcement over Floyd’s 99 Barbershop intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your barber today is late due to an urgent visit from our new talking mirror.’ The mirror, it turned out, had developed a penchant for giving unsolicited advice on hairstyles—much to everyone’s amusement. When Floyd returned, he sheepishly explained that his reflection had insisted on trying out its latest haircut ideas. The regulars left with smiles, knowing that Floyd’s 99 Barbershop would never be dull again.
3. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Floyd’s 99 Barbershop. The sign said it was closed, but a faint humming sound came from inside. The driver knocked gently on the door, and an old barber appeared, still trimming his own beard with a rusty razor. ‘Late night for you,’ grinned the delivery guy. The barber nodded, never stopping his work. After finishing, he took out a fresh newspaper from under the counter—dated exactly one year ago—and handed it to the surprised driver. ‘Welcome to Floyd’s timeless service,’ he chuckled.}
4. At lunchtime, a delivery driver pulled up to Floyd’s 99 Barbershop. On the shop window, someone had scribbled in marker: ‘Free Haircuts for People Who Can’t Count Past 99.’ The delivery driver chuckled and walked inside, only to discover that Floyd was indeed counting his haircuts on one hand—from 98 down. A regular customer joked, ‘You missed today, Floyd!’ And Floyd grinned, ‘Not yet I haven’t.’
