About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package: a live parrot that kept squawking ‘Next!’ whenever anyone entered the barbershop. Soon enough, the parrot became a local celebrity, and customers started coming just to hear its quirky announcement. The owner decided to keep the noisy feathered friend as part of the shop’s charm, and everyone loved it—even when it accidentally squawked ‘Next!’ during important meetings.
2. One day, while students were cutting hair in the Up Next Barber College salon, an old sign above the mirror started flickering on and off. A nearby regular overheard it whispering, ‘Next up: confidence and style!’ Curious, one student asked aloud if the sign was talking. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in, looked around, and said, 'Finally, someone else hears it!' The sign then glowed brightly and announced, 'And your next cut is on the house—confidence included!' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another quirky college prank.
3. One afternoon, a student finishing her first cut asked her instructor, ‘Why does every client leave here humming?’ The instructor smiled and whispered, 'Because our clippers are enchanted—well, not really, but they make everyone feel like a million bucks.' The student raised an eyebrow, and just then, a regular walked in whistling a familiar tune. 'See?' said the teacher with a twinkle in her eye.
4. One night, a neighbor walked into the barbershop and asked for a trim. As he sat down, he noticed something strange on the wall—a mirror that seemed to follow him wherever he moved. Finally, the neighbor realized it was just an old-fashioned convex mirror. He laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll never be able to shave here without getting a haircut first!’ The barber smiled and replied, ‘That’s okay, sir—we offer discounts for repeat customers.’
