About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes outside Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, he noticed an odd sound coming from inside—a rhythmic tapping that seemed to match the beat of old jazz tunes played softly in the background. Curious, he peered through the window and saw none other than Mr. Jenkins, the barber, meticulously arranging combs and brushes into intricate patterns on the counter. As it turned out, Mr. Jenkins had been doing this for years—each comb aligned with its twin like dancers in perfect harmony. The delivery driver joined him one day, and soon enough, Floyd’s 99 Barbershop became known for its daily ‘hairbrush ballet.’ It wasn’t long before neighbors started gathering around the shop just to watch the morning routine.
2. One day, as a barber was finishing up a cut inside Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, an old customer walked in and asked, ‘Hey, do you think if I whisper really quietly, everyone else will hear me?’ The barber raised his eyebrows but nodded politely. The old man leaned close and whispered something unintelligible. Everyone in the shop tilted their heads, trying to catch the words. Finally, the barber shook his head with a smile and said, 'Nope, sorry sir—you’re too quiet for that.'
3. A regular walked into Floyd’s 99 Barbershop and announced loudly, ‘I just saw a haircut transform into a full beard right before my eyes!’ The barber looked puzzled but smiled and said, ‘Welcome back, sir. That happens every now and then.’ Another customer, a delivery driver, interrupted them with a worried look on his face. 'Guys,' he stammered, 'my truck is trying to turn itself into a motorcycle!' Floyd just laughed and replied, 'Son, that’s what happens when you bring your own fuel.'
4. A young barista rushed out of Floyd’s 99 Barbershop one afternoon, nearly tripping over her own apron as she frantically waved something in her hand. Inside, customers looked up curiously from their magazines. She stopped abruptly and shouted, ‘Everyone, look!’ Everyone peered inside, only to see a tiny mouse scurrying across the floor. A regular leaned forward with a smile, saying, ‘That’s nothing new around here—we’ve seen stranger things.’ The barista blushed and quickly returned to work, muttering something about needing more coffee.
