About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, customers often noticed an unusual occurrence: whenever a certain old delivery driver arrived with his truck, the neighborhood cat would leap onto the roof and sit there, watching him intently through the window. No one knew why—they just assumed it was some kind of strange bond between them. One day, the old delivery driver accidentally left his lunch on the counter. The cat, intrigued by the smell, jumped down from the roof but got tangled in the barbershop’s curtain. Everyone burst out laughing when they saw the poor feline dangling there, its tail waving like a flag while trying to figure out how to escape.

2. At Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, every morning around 8 AM, a mysterious voice crackles over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your barber is now offering free haircuts to anyone with an umbrella.’ No one knows who or why, but umbrellas suddenly appear everywhere. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an umbrella, thinking it was just rain. By noon, his entire truck was full of hair clippings—and he’d driven half the town on detours! A regular stopped by later, complaining that his haircut made him look like a poodle. The barber shrugged and said, ‘Next time bring a hat!’

3. At Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, one day a regular exclaimed, ‘I just saw the strangest thing!’ Curious, everyone leaned in closer. ‘While driving past that old clock tower,’ he said, ‘it started chiming “Happy Birthday” for no reason! Then this pigeon flew over and gave me a thumbs-up.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the barber who’d been quietly trimming someone else’s beard. The regular beamed, happy to have shared such an odd but memorable moment.

4. At Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, early each morning before sunrise, a soft humming could be heard coming from the open door. It wasn’t the usual chatter of customers or clink of tools—it was more like the gentle strumming of an invisible guitar. One day, an old neighbor walked in and asked what that music was all about. The barber smiled and said it was just his secret way to keep the place awake for business. The neighbor laughed and joked, 'Maybe you should try playing something else—like your phone ringing!' From then on, whenever someone came in, they’d hear the barber softly singing ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ while clipping hair, much to everyone’s amusement.
