About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Paramount Barbering Co., a regular complained one day, ‘Why do I always get seated next to that guy who snores like a chainsaw?’ The barber smiled and whispered, ‘That’s Mr. Snorey-Woorey from down the street—he pays in whiskeys.’ The regular nodded knowingly, already planning his escape route for tomorrow’s visit.

2. At the Paramount Barbering Co., an elderly gentleman exclaimed one morning, 'I swear, every time I come here, my haircut makes me look younger than my next-door neighbor!' One day, a delivery driver walked in and joked, ‘Maybe you should just shave off his head altogether!’ The barber laughed and replied, ‘Trust me, when he leaves here today, his wife will be doing all the talking for him.’

3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, when most barbershops are closed, a delivery driver pulled up to the Paramount Barbering Co. with a puzzled expression on his face. He had just received an unusual package—an empty box wrapped in elaborate ribbon. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but a note that read: ‘For your best cut yet!’ Turns out, it was a prank from one of the neighborhood kids who thought it’d be fun to send anonymous gifts to the local barbershop.’

4. At the Paramount Barbering Co., on a chilly autumn night when most shops were shuttered, a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual package. The barber raised an eyebrow as he unwrapped it—inside was a vintage hairdryer from the 1950s. The barber grinned and asked, ‘Who could possibly want an old hairdryer?’ A few days later, an elderly gentleman walked in, smiling broadly. 'Ah, Paramount,' he said, ‘I heard you might be interested in this.' And he handed over a small envelope containing a vintage magazine ad for the very same dryer, signed by none other than John Wayne himself!'
