About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, when Floyd’s usually quiet barbershop was empty but for an old radio playing softly, a delivery driver pulled up with a crate of unusual shampoos and conditioners. The shopkeeper raised an eyebrow as he counted the items. Among the bottles, he spotted one labeled ‘Revitalizing Rainforest Elixir.’ Curious, Floyd dipped his finger in it and sniffed—it smelled like bubble gum. He chuckled, thinking maybe it was just another prank from his mischievous neighbor. That night, after closing, Floyd discovered that his hair felt softer than ever before.
2. One day after lunch, while Floyd was trimming a customer’s beard, over the shop’s intercom came a voice: ‘Barbershop, please hold all calls until further notice.’ Everyone looked around puzzled—there were no phones or calls. Suddenly, an old man from the corner shouted, ‘I’ve got it! It’s our new Wi-Fi connection playing up again!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that Floyd had been trimming beards to the sound of someone testing their home internet. The barbershop went back to its usual hum with a smile and a shake of the head.
3. At closing time, as Floyd was locking up his 99 Barbershop, he heard a strange humming noise coming from the old radiator in the corner. Curious, Floyd opened the radiator cover and found an ancient coin stuck inside. He gave it to a local historian, who said it dated back to the 1800s. From then on, every time someone mentioned the coin, Floyd would proudly say, ‘That’s what brought customers from all over town!’
4. One afternoon, just as Floyd finished cutting a customer’s hair, a delivery driver rushed into the shop, out of breath and waving a crumpled note. ‘Quick!’ he panted. ‘Someone left this on my truck.’ Floyd unfolded it carefully. Written in shaky handwriting was: 'Please tell this man his hair looks fantastic!' Below was scribbled an address—someone must’ve mistakenly dropped it from their home. The delivery driver laughed sheepishly. 'Guess I should’ve asked before delivering compliments,' he said. 'Next time I'll know better.'
