Floyd's 99 Barbershop

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his turn, a regular overheard Floyd whispering to his assistant: ‘Today’s customer will leave with more than just a haircut.’ Soon enough, an ordinary delivery driver walked in. Floyd smiled mysteriously and started cutting his hair with unusual precision. When it was done, he presented the man with a small mirror—only to reveal that his usual balding head now sported perfect curls like those of a teenager. The regular burst out laughing, and Floyd winked: 'Today everyone leaves looking younger!'

2. At dawn, when most barbershops are quiet, Floyd’s 99 Barbershop buzzed with an unusual commotion. A delivery driver arrived early, muttering that he’d never seen such activity before. Inside, Floyd and his assistants were frantically preparing not just haircuts but entire miniature landscapes—complete with trees, bushes, and tiny animals made from human hair. Finally, a customer—a regular who always got his trim here—walked in, scratched his head, and asked for his usual cut. When they finished, everyone stared at him: his neatly trimmed hair now resembled a perfect miniature forest complete with twigs and leaves. The whole town talked about it for weeks, and Floyd’s business skyrocketed—but only because people wanted their own little hairy landscapes.

3. At midnight, as a delivery driver pulled up to Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, he noticed something odd: the neon sign blinked not ‘Open,’ but ‘Open Sesame.’ Curious, the driver walked in and found an old man with twinkling eyes cutting hair while humming an ancient tune. The barbershop was filled with antique mirrors, vintage combs, and strange whispers from unseen customers. As he left, the driver overheard the old man say to no one in particular, 'Another day, another open sesame!'

4. At sunset, a neighborhood kid rushed into Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, yelling that his pet hamster had escaped. Floyd calmly asked him to wait and soon emerged from the back room with something unexpected. From behind the counter, Floyd gently placed a small, sleepy hamster in the boy’s hands. ‘There you go,’ he said with a smile. The kid looked up gratefully, then noticed Floyd was holding another hamster—this one wearing a tiny barber’s cap. 'And here's your free customer for today,' Floyd winked.
