Waveland Barber/Stylist

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was getting his usual cut, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from the back room. It grew louder with each stroke of the barber’s scissors—eerie but not alarming. Curious, the man asked the barber what it was. With a twinkle in his eye, the stylist replied, ‘Oh, that’s just my new electric trimmer.’ The customer nodded and went back to his shave, never realizing he’d almost had a close encounter with an overly enthusiastic haircutting device.

2. While waiting for his trim one afternoon, a regular heard a strange humming noise coming from behind the counter. Curious, he leaned closer and realized it wasn’t just any hum—it sounded like someone singing in perfect pitch. As he peered around, he saw an elderly barber gently clipping away while softly crooning an old folk tune. Turns out, every Tuesday afternoon, the owner would break into song during his slowest hour. The regular couldn’t help but smile, realizing that maybe Waveland’s secret charm lay not in its vintage shaving cream, but in its unexpected musical moments.

3. While waiting for his trim one day, a regular overheard the barber muttering something about ‘the perfect fade’ under his breath. Curious, he asked what that meant. The barber just smiled and replied, ‘It’s nothing, just talking to my old friend, Mr. Haircut.’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver came in, boasting about his new fade. The barber shook his head and said, 'Ah, you’ll see him soon enough.' Sure enough, after another week, the perfect fade appeared—on the delivery guy’s dog! Everyone burst out laughing, including the barber, who remarked, 'Mr. Haircut must’ve been busy today.'

4. While getting his haircut one Sunday, a little boy kept staring at the old mirror above the barber chair. His dad finally asked him what he saw, and the kid whispered, ‘It looks like Uncle Bob’s mustache is growing!’ The barber laughed and said, ‘That’s just an old scratch on the mirror, son.’ But as he finished cutting, he noticed something else—an antique clock behind him seemed to be gaining minutes! Turns out, time itself was playing tricks in Waveland Barber/Stylist.
