About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up outside Buck’s Barber Shop, he noticed something strange: every time the shopkeeper unlocked the door, an odd humming sound would emanate from inside. It was faint but persistent—like a distant radio station trying to break through static. As the driver approached, he saw an old gentleman emerge from the shop, scratching his head and muttering, ‘I thought I told him not to turn on that darn radio!’ Turns out, it wasn’t a radio at all—it was just the barber’s favorite old gramophone playing jazz records during his shaves. The end.
2. One day, while a regular was getting his usual trim, he heard an odd humming sound coming from the back room. Curious, he asked the barber what it was. ‘Oh,’ said the barber with a smile, ‘that’s just Mr. Jenkins practicing his new electric guitar.’ The next day, another customer noticed the same eerie noise and mentioned it to Mr. Jenkins himself. With a sheepish grin, he replied, 'I thought no one knew!' Turns out, Buck’s Barber Shop had become the neighborhood jam session spot without anyone realizing.
3. One afternoon, as a little boy walked past Buck’s Barber Shop, he stopped in surprise when he saw the barbershop pole spinning so fast it seemed to be waving hello. Just then, an old man with a big mustache entered and asked for his usual haircut. The barber looked up, grinned, and said, 'Hey, ain't you that kid who thought our pole was waving?' Everyone burst out laughing, including the little boy, who realized that sometimes life is just as funny as a twirling barbershop pole.
4. One evening, as a delivery driver approached Buck’s Barber Shop with his truck, he saw something peculiar hanging from one of the shop signs. Curious, he leaned in closer and read aloud: ‘Buck’s Barber Shop—Where Your Haircut Can Be A Little On The Long Side!’ Startled by his own voice, he jumped back and almost knocked over a nearby trashcan. Turning around, he noticed an old neighbor laughing at him from across the street. 'Hey,' she said, shaking her head, 'I thought you knew Buck—he likes things a bit shaggy.'
