About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for his trim, an old regular asked the barber: ‘Do you ever notice how our customers always seem to leave exactly when their favorite show starts on TV?’ The barber shrugged and smiled. ‘Maybe they’re psychic,’ he said with a chuckle. Just then, another customer walked in—an older gentleman who’d been coming in since before anyone could remember. He glanced up at the TV, nodded knowingly, and sat down without a word.'
2. One day, as a young boy waited impatiently for his dad’s haircut, he noticed something peculiar. The old parrot perched on the shelf above the barber chair suddenly started mimicking every word the barber said—even when no one else could hear. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the boy got his turn. As the barber whispered something into the bird's ear, everyone in the shop burst out laughing—including the parrot, who loudly announced, 'Your hair looks great!' Turns out, it was just an overly talkative pet.
3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up outside Ten West Barber Shop and noticed something peculiar—a faint scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the open door. Curious, he stepped inside just as the barber finished cutting someone's hair. The barber looked up with a smile, revealing a tray filled with tiny croissants. ‘Freshly baked,’ he said proudly. The delivery driver exchanged glances with the satisfied customer, who had a blissful expression on his face. As they left, the barber called out, 'Next time you’re passing, come in for a trim—maybe even a bite!'
4. In the early morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Ten West Barber Shop. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a soft humming coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw the barber whistling an unfamiliar tune while cutting hair. The sound was so enchanting that customers started arriving earlier each day, drawn not just by good cuts but by the mysterious melody. Finally, one day, the barber stopped mid-cut and announced: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for us to join the modern world!’ He switched on the radio, and the shop went back to normal. But ever since then, whenever someone asks about his secret talent, the barber modestly replies, ‘Oh, I used to sing in the shower.’
