Catch A Fade Barber Shop

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Last week, while waiting for his trim, an old regular asked the barber: ‘Hey, do you ever notice how every new customer seems to bring in a different scent of after-shave?’ The barber shrugged it off, but since then, everyone has been sniffing the air when someone new walks through that door. Finally, one day a delivery driver walked in smelling like fresh-cut grass and cookies. The whole shop erupted into laughter as they tried to figure out what he was carrying under those packages. Turns out, he’d accidentally brought home too many snacks from work.

2. Last week, as customers were getting their haircuts, a voice came over the shop’s intercom: ‘Attention everyone—we’ve run out of water!’ A delivery driver paused mid-order and asked, 'What do you mean “out of water”? Don’t y’all have a well?' The barbers burst into laughter while customers shook their heads in disbelief. Finally, one old timer whispered, ‘That’s why they call it Catch A Fade…you never know what you’ll get!’

3. Last week, as a regular sat down for his usual cut, he noticed something strange outside the window. ‘Hey,’ he called out to the barber, ‘is that a pigeon or a small dog pecking at our sign?’ The barber looked up and laughed, wiping his hands on his apron. 'Nah, mate,' he said, 'it's just an old crow trying to get a bite of our sandwich board.' They both watched in amusement as the bird hopped around, finally giving up with a flap of its wings. The regular paid his bill with a smile, leaving a tip for the story—and maybe because it was such a great cut.

4. Last week, as a customer waited patiently for his turn, he heard a familiar voice whispering from behind the curtain: 'You look like you could use a shave, but not here—try my place next door!' Curious, our customer walked over and peeked through the curtain—only to find an old friend, a delivery driver, who grinned sheepishly and said, ‘Hey man, thought you might appreciate a little something extra!’ Turns out, Catch A Fade had secretly been cutting hair for free in the back for years.
