About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside NBWS Barber and noticed something strange—all the customers were standing in line not for haircuts, but to buy tickets for an imaginary lottery. The delivery driver joined the queue out of curiosity. After buying his ticket, he won ‘the grand prize’: a free shave from the barber himself. Word spread quickly among locals, and soon everyone in town was lining up—not for haircuts, but for their chance at that legendary shave. Even the neighborhood cat started showing up, just to watch.

2. One day after noon service, as customers were settling in for their haircuts, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the barbershop’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that your stylist today has been replaced by a robot.’ A puzzled customer asked, 'Excuse me, but how does a robot cut hair?' The robot replied calmly, 'With precision, sir, and no tipping required.' By the end of the day, everyone left with a unique style—some even got a free trim from the neighborhood dog who thought it was a game.

3. One afternoon, while waiting for his trim, a regular asked the barber: ‘Do you ever get customers who show up with their own clippers?’ The barber smiled and shook his head. But later that week, someone did just that… A few days later, another customer walked in carrying an old-fashioned clipper set under his arm. He introduced himself as a delivery driver from the local hardware store. Turns out he’d bought the antique clippers as a gift for the barber—just because he thought it would be fun. Everyone had a good laugh, and now the NBWS Barber keeps those vintage clippers on display.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside NBWS Barber and heard a peculiar humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window—and saw nothing but empty chairs and a quiet barber chair. The next morning, the same eerie hum returned. Finally, the owner decided to stay open late and catch the mystery himself. Turned out it was just an old radio left on by a regular customer. Everyone had a good laugh—except maybe the poor guy who thought his haircut was haunting the place.
