Lincs Cuts

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few months ago, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith walked into Lincs Cuts every Wednesday for his usual trim. One day, while waiting for his turn, he noticed something peculiar—his reflection in the mirror seemed to change slightly each time he looked up. Curious, Mr. Smith mentioned it to the stylist, who simply smiled and said she was experimenting with a new lighting setup. As weeks passed, more customers started noticing odd reflections too—until one day, a delivery driver commented on seeing himself wearing a fez! Turned out, the owner had been testing vintage shop signs behind the mirrors, adding just enough whimsy to make everyone’s visit a little brighter.

2. A little girl entered Lincs Cuts one afternoon and pointed excitedly at the ceiling. Her mother looked up and saw nothing unusual, but when she glanced back at her daughter, she noticed a peculiar smile on her face—one that only appeared whenever they passed the old clock tower across the street. As they left, the little girl whispered, ‘Mummy, did you see the lady with the sparkly hair in the mirror?’ The woman nodded, smiling. It wasn’t until later that night, when they were home, that the mother realized their reflection had been replaced by an animated advertisement for a new hair product line.

3. A neighborhood cat began regularly visiting Lincs Cuts, sitting patiently outside until its turn for a haircut. One day, an excitable delivery driver arrived with his package, mistaking the calm feline for a chair cushion and nearly dropping everything. The cat just blinked, unfazed, as if thinking, ‘Another human who doesn’t recognize me.’

4. One morning, as customers were settling in for their weekly cuts, the radio crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: ‘Attention, everyone—your hairstylist today has been replaced by a parrot!’ The parrot squawked and started trimming hair wildly, creating a chaotic but hilarious scene. A regular exclaimed, 'This is the craziest haircut I've ever had!' The stylist eventually returned, sheepishly explaining that his parrot was bored and needed something to do while he took a break.
