About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Dee’s shop and noticed something odd on the back of his truck. Among boxes and packages lay an old-fashioned barbershop pole, seemingly abandoned. Curious, he brought it inside, placing it next to Dee’s vintage sign. Soon, customers started commenting on the new addition. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone was stopping by just to see the quirky antique. Even a regular customer remarked, ‘I bet that pole knows more stories than I do!’ And indeed, whenever someone asked Dee about its origins, she’d wink and say, “It’s been cutting some pretty close calls today.”
2. One foggy morning, as Dee was finishing up a cut, he heard an unfamiliar voice from outside. Glancing out the window, he saw a delivery driver struggling with his bike in the misty street. Dee stepped outside and asked if everything was alright. With a sheepish smile, the delivery driver replied that his bike had decided to take an unexpected vacation. After helping him fix it, Dee noticed a familiar face waving from across the street—a neighbor who’d been waiting for their trim. Turning back to the driver, Dee joked, ‘Guess your bike’s just jealous of our banter!’
3. One day, while Dee was giving a trim to a regular, their little dog started behaving strangely. It kept sniffing around the floorboards and then suddenly barked at an old mirror hanging above Dee's station. Everyone looked up—and there, reflected in the glass, was another barber chair, empty but for a pair of curious eyes staring back. Curiosity got the better of everyone that day. They all crowded around, trying to catch a glimpse of those mysterious eyes. Turns out, it was just Dee’s reflection from behind—a prank played by his own clever pooch! Since then, whenever someone mentions ‘In The Cut,’ people laugh and say, ‘That place is haunted… by Dee’s dog!’
4. One afternoon, while Dee was cutting a customer's hair, he noticed something peculiar on the counter—a strange old keyring with a tiny brass bell. Curious, Dee picked it up and gave it a gentle shake—tingling chimes filled the air. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman walked in, asking for his usual cut. 'That’s mine!' he exclaimed, pointing at the keyring. Turns out, it belonged to his late wife who used to visit Dee regularly. They ended up chatting like old friends over a cup of tea, and Dee learned that sometimes, even the smallest things can bring people together.
