About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Floyd's 99 Barbershop and froze. The air was filled with an unfamiliar scent—a sweet, almost floral aroma that seemed out of place in the quiet neighborhood. Curious, he followed his nose inside and found Floyd trimming the hedge outside. ‘What’s that smell?’ asked the driver. Floyd grinned, ‘Just planted some lavender seeds.’ The driver scratched his head, ‘Lavender? In my neighborhood?’ Floyd shrugged, ‘Why not? Makes for interesting conversations.’

2. At midnight on a Tuesday, a delivery driver pulled up outside Floyd’s 99 Barbershop with a box marked ‘Top Secret.’ The barber, puzzled, opened the box and found inside a new set of clippers shaped like a tiny spaceship. ‘What the heck is this?’ he muttered, glancing at the sleepy neighbor who’d just walked in for his weekly trim. The next morning, everyone in town was buzzing about the mysterious clippers—until it turned out they were just part of an advertising stunt for a local tech fair. Moral of the story? Never judge a barbershop by its midnight deliveries.’

3. At dusk, a little boy ran into Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, breathless from chasing his ball. ‘Dad!’ he cried, pointing towards the door. ‘Look, there’s a squirrel sitting in your chair!’ Floyd looked up from his mirror and smiled. 'Well, son,' he said, 'looks like our squirrel friend has found himself a new home.' Just then, an old man walked in, scratching his head. 'Hey Floyd,' he chuckled, 'I thought you were closed today!'

4. At noon one day, while customers were getting their haircuts at Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, an old radio started playing faintly in the background—nobody knew whose it was or why it had appeared out of nowhere. Suddenly, everyone heard a familiar voice coming from the radio: ‘This is your favorite station, broadcasting live… from Floyd’s 99 Barbershop!’ Turns out, it belonged to an enthusiastic delivery driver who thought he was tuning into his own show. The laughter and embarrassment lasted longer than any haircut that day.
