About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was getting his usual trim, he heard an odd humming sound coming from the back room. Curious, he asked the barber, but no one else seemed to notice it. Soon enough, another customer joined him and together they peeked behind the curtain. It turned out to be just an old radio playing some jazz from the 50s. The barber smiled and said, 'Ah, Calloway’s been here longer than most of us—even if his taste in music hasn’t changed much!'

2. One afternoon, as a delivery driver sat waiting for his turn in Calloway’s Barbershop, he overheard two old-timers discussing something peculiar. ‘You won’t believe what I saw last week,’ said one with a twinkle in his eye. 'What?’ asked his friend eagerly. ‘I was walking down Main Street and see this guy,’ continued the first man, leaning closer. ‘He had a comb stuck in his ear like it was glued there!’ The whole shop burst into laughter. The delivery driver turned to his barber, grinning, ‘Guess that’s why they say “Calloway’s”.’

3. A young man walked into Calloway’s Barbershop one evening, carrying a large box under his arm. As he approached the counter, he tripped over his own feet and sent the box flying across the room. The barber quickly jumped up from his chair and rushed to help, catching the box just before it hit the antique mirror behind the counter. 'Easy there!' he chuckled. The young man blushed and apologized profusely, earning him an instant smile and a free shave from 'a regular' who happened to be waiting next door. Everyone had a good laugh, and soon enough, the shop was buzzing with stories of near-misses and close calls.

4. A few years ago, a delivery driver named Alex waited patiently outside Calloway’s Barbershop. He overheard two barbers discussing something unusual that had happened earlier that day. One of them mentioned they’d accidentally shaved off an old man’s mustache while trimming his beard. The other laughed and said it was no big deal—just needed some eyebrow action to match! Alex couldn’t help but smile, thinking how life at Calloway’s always seemed like one big joke.
