Finley's Barber Shop

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as Finley clipped away at an old man's beard, he muttered under his breath, 'I swear I heard that whistle before.' The barbershop door swung open, and a delivery driver called out, 'Hey Finley, you missed a spot!' Finley paused mid-clipping, squinted at the delivery guy and asked, ‘Are you sure? Because it sounds like the same whistle your dog used to make when he was trying to get treats.’ The whole shop burst into laughter, including the old man who finally cracked a smile. That day, Finley’s Barber Shop became known for more than just great haircuts—it earned its reputation for funny whistles too.

2. While cutting a young boy’s hair one afternoon, Finley noticed something odd—his scissors seemed to be leaving tiny sparkles on the floor. Curious, he bent down to inspect them, only to see a small, mischievous squirrel darting between customers’ feet. As Finley watched in amazement, the little critter hopped onto the counter and started nibbling on some old threadbare fabric. Before anyone could react, it dived into an empty hatbox and emerged with a brightly colored button, which it placed neatly next to the customer’s comb. The whole place erupted in laughter when everyone realized what had happened—a regular stopped by later that week to thank Finley for ‘the most unique barbershop experience ever!’

3. Early in the morning, when most shops were still closing up, Finley heard a soft knock on the door. Peering through the window, he saw a familiar figure—a delivery driver holding a crate of fresh barber supplies. Opening the door, Finley grumbled good-morning but couldn’t help smiling as the driver presented him with a box of freshly baked donuts. ‘Another Monday,’ Finley thought, ‘but at least it starts sweet.’

4. While cutting a little girl's hair one day, Finley couldn't help but notice her unusual reaction. Every time he snipped the scissors too close to her ear, she giggled instead of flinching. Curious, Finley asked if she was ticklish. The girl nodded shyly and giggled even louder. From then on, whenever anyone came in for a trim, Finley’s barbershop became known as the place where you could get your hair cut—and maybe an unexpected tickle—all in one visit.
