Floyd's 99 Barbershop

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his trim, an old regular leaned back in his chair and muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that barber’s shadow walking down the street last night.’ His fellow customers exchanged curious glances but didn’t say anything until… Finally, one young delivery driver piped up, ‘Hey, maybe it was just your reflection in the shop window!’ The whole place erupted into laughter, and soon enough everyone was joking about ghostly barbers. By the time they left, each customer felt like part of a secret club—even if the only thing they shared was a good laugh over Floyd’s peculiar shadows.

2. At dawn, when most barbershops are quiet, Floyd’s 99 Barbershop buzzed with activity unlike any other morning. A delivery driver rushed in, frantic and out of breath, muttering something about a lost package worth millions. The barber raised an eyebrow, nodded towards the back room, and said, ‘You’d better check with Mr. Johnson next door—he might’ve picked it up.’ The delivery driver ran off like a shot, only to return five minutes later sheepishly carrying a misplaced package of soap. Everyone had a good laugh, including Floyd who remarked, ‘Welcome to Floyd’s—where your day starts with a close shave and ends with a mystery!’

3. While waiting for his usual cut, a regular noticed something peculiar on the shop counter—a tiny wooden carousel, spinning quietly and seemingly out of place among the grooming supplies. Curious, he leaned closer and saw that each horse had a different number engraved beneath it. Just as he was about to ask the barber what it meant, another customer—a delivery driver—joked, ‘That’s Floyd’s lottery machine! Win big today!’ Everyone laughed, but when they looked back, the horses were now numbered one through nine—and ninety-nine.}

4. One day, as Floyd was cutting a regular’s hair, he announced over the shop’s vintage PA system: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our new customer loyalty program starts today—get your first haircut free, but pay attention: every tenth customer gets a lifetime membership!’ Soon enough, customers started flocking in, each hoping for that elusive tenth spot. One day, an excitable delivery driver named Joe arrived, eagerly counting down his visits. On his ninth visit, Floyd declared with a twinkle in his eye, 'Joe, you’re almost there!' But on the fateful tenth cut, when everyone held their breath, Floyd whispered into Joe’s ear, 'Congratulations, you just got a lifetime membership… starting next week!'
