About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Principle Barbers with an unusual package. As he opened the box, a tiny bird flew out and perched on his shoulder, chirping insistently. The driver, startled but amused, stroked its head gently. The little bird continued chattering away until another customer walked in, asking if they had seen ‘the talking bird’ already. By noon, Principle Barbers was buzzing not just from haircuts, but from everyone trying to catch a glimpse of the feathered newcomer. It turned out that the barbershop’s owner had secretly adopted the bird as a mascot, and now Principle Barbers was known far beyond the neighborhood for its quirky charm.

2. At lunchtime, a delivery driver pulled up outside Principle Barbers and noticed something peculiar on the shop’s door: ‘Please knock three times before entering.’ Curious, he obeyed—and found himself ushered inside by an old barber wearing a mysterious smile. Inside, the barber cut his hair with precision, never uttering a word. Afterwards, as the delivery driver left, he glanced back—only to see the barber had transformed into a life-sized mannequin. Startled, he burst out laughing. The mannequin smiled mysteriously and nodded, its waxed mustache twitching ever so slightly.

3. At midnight, when Principle Barbers should have been quiet, a delivery driver pulled up outside and noticed a faint light flickering inside. Curious, he approached the door, only to hear soft laughter coming from within. Peeking through the window, he saw an old barber chair spinning slowly in circles, while a neighbor was trying to fix his hairdo with a smile on his face. The delivery driver knocked gently, and the barber turned around, grinning: 'Ah, just helping out an old friend!'

4. At noon, a delivery driver pulled up outside Principle Barbers and saw a sign in the window: ‘Today’s special – eternal youth for just one trim!’ The delivery driver cracked a smile, thinking it was some kind of prank. He walked in, sat down, and soon enough emerged with a gleaming smile and an extra bounce in his step. Word spread quickly among the neighborhood, and before long, Principle Barbers became the place where everyone went not just for a haircut, but for that little bit of magic that made them feel younger each time.
