About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a regular walked into Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, he overheard an unusual conversation between the barber and a delivery driver. ‘Did you know,’ said the barber with a twinkle in his eye, ‘that every time I cut someone’s hair here, their beard grows back exactly one day later?’ Curious, the regular asked if it was true. The barber grinned and replied, 'Well, that's why my neighbors always come here for both services!' And indeed, every time that same neighbor popped in for a trim, his mustache would mysteriously sprout again just in time for breakfast.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Floyd’s 99 Barbershop one afternoon and noticed something peculiar in the shop’s parking lot—a small wooden box with a rusty padlock. Curious, he approached it, only to find that the lock had been picked open but nothing seemed stolen. Inside, an old regular was sitting in front of Floyd, scratching his head over a half-finished haircut. 'You know,' he said, grinning, ‘I’ve lived here for years, but I still don’t know what’s inside that box!' The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, realizing that sometimes life’s best mysteries are right under our noses.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Floyd’s 99 Barbershop one day and noticed a peculiar package on the back of the shop. Curious, he approached it cautiously—only to discover a note reading: ‘Open only if you’re not in a hurry.’ He carefully opened the note and found inside a single coin—a quarter. On its edge was engraved: 'Take your time.' The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and walked into Floyd’s 99 Barbershop for a haircut, deciding that sometimes life is best enjoyed slowly.

4. One morning, while getting his usual trim at Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, a regular heard an odd announcement over the shop’s speakers: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your barber today is none other than the world-famous hairstylist from Paris!’ The whole place erupted in surprise as everyone turned around to see who this mysterious Frenchman was. Turns out, it was just old Mr. Johnson, their regular delivery guy, wearing his best suit and sporting a new hairdo. The regulars burst into laughter when he sheepishly admitted, 'I thought they’d recognize my face!'
