Barber and Styles

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was getting his weekly trim, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, he asked the barber what it was. ‘Oh that,’ said the barber with a smile, ‘that’s just our secret machine.’ ‘Secret machine,’” the barber winked. “It’s our special device for making customers feel like millionaires.” The next day, everyone in town started talking about how their haircuts were mysteriously perfect—until they realized it was just because the barber had finally learned to use the regular clippers.

2. While waiting for his usual cut one day, a regular noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small wooden box with no label or note attached. Curious, he asked the barber what it was. ‘Just some old stuff,’ replied the barber dismissively. Finally curious enough to open it himself, our regular found inside an old envelope filled with crumpled dollar bills. Turns out, the barber had been secretly collecting tips from grateful customers—and leaving them anonymously as a surprise for good deeds done that week. When word got out, everyone started dropping off little gifts instead of cash, making Barber & Styles not just a place to get a haircut but a neighborhood hub where kindness flourished.

3. While waiting for his usual cut one day, a regular asked curiously, ‘Do you think our barber can tell if I’m lying?’ The barber looked up from his scissors with a knowing smile and replied, ‘If you’re bald on the inside but trying to hide it, yeah—we’ve got eyes in the back of our heads!’ The regular laughed and shook his head, realizing he’d been caught. A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, ‘Next time try our new hat collection—it’s amazing what a little brim can do!’

4. While waiting for his usual cut one day, a regular muttered under his breath, 'I wonder if they ever clean behind that mirror?' Finally, the barber looked up with a smile and said, ‘Don’t worry, sir. We clean everything here—even if it means I have to wear these ridiculous tall boots!’ The whole place erupted in laughter, including the usually stoic delivery driver who’d been quietly listening.
