Dynasty Barbershop

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular was getting his weekly trim, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, he asked the barber, who shrugged it off as just an old radio left on by the previous owner. Soon enough, another customer—a delivery driver—mentioned hearing the same noise. They decided to investigate together and found an ancient record player playing soft jazz. Turned out, it belonged to the original owner, who loved old music so much that he’d left it running before closing down. Now, every Tuesday at noon, Dynasty Barbershop hosts ‘Jazz Afternoons,’ where customers can relax with a vintage tune and a haircut.

2. One day, as a regular was admiring his freshly shaved head in the mirror, he asked the barber, ‘Do you ever wonder what it would look like if everyone here got their haircut on the same day?’ The barber thought for a moment and replied, ‘Well, sir, that’s quite an interesting idea.’ Suddenly, they heard a loud thud outside—someone had just ordered a wrong turn into the shop’s awning. With a laugh, the barber said, “Guess our first emergency coiffure is upon us!”

3. One afternoon, a regular asked the barber why his reflection kept changing sizes in the old-fashioned mirror. The barber shrugged and continued clipping, but ever since then, customers swear they see different faces peering back at them from those antique frames. Finally, one day an excited delivery driver exclaimed, ‘I saw Abraham Lincoln!’ The barber just smiled and replied, ‘No surprise there, he’s been hanging out here for years.’

4. While waiting for his turn one morning, a delivery driver overheard two old-timers arguing about who had the longest beard ever cut at Dynasty Barbershop. Finally called up, the delivery driver sat down and asked the barber how long he’d been cutting beards here. ‘Since I opened my doors twenty years ago,’ replied the barber with a smile. The old-timers looked at each other, shrugged, and went back to their usual banter—both knowing they’ll probably never know who truly holds that title.
