About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling into their chairs, an announcement crackled over Floyd’s old-fashioned intercom: ‘Attention, gentlemen—your barber today is none other than our very own delivery driver!’ The delivery driver turned out to be a neighborhood legend with a razor sharp sense of humor and a wildly creative style. By lunchtime, every customer had a unique hairstyle—and a story to tell. Floyd just smiled, shook his head, and muttered, 'Another day in paradise.'

2. One day, while a regular was getting his weekly trim, an unusual message came over the shop’s intercom: ‘Attention, barbershop patrons—your haircuts are now officially recognized as a form of exercise. Please note that each cut burns exactly three calories.’ A delivery driver who’d just had his first cut looked confused and asked, ‘So does that mean I burn nine calories for every hair I leave behind?’ The barber shrugged and replied, ‘Who knows? But you’re welcome back anytime!’

3. While a customer was midway through his shave, Floyd announced over the shop’s old radio: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our new neighbor just moved in next door—come meet him!’ A delivery driver walked in, glanced around, then asked, ‘Is that a real bear rug on your wall?’ Floyd grinned, ‘Yup, it is!’ The neighbor sheepishly explained, ‘It’s my dog.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing Floyd had another one of his quirky introductions.

4. On a particularly humid afternoon in Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, a delivery driver arrived with a package so large that it seemed to fill the entire van. As he struggled to carry it inside, Floyd leaned over and whispered something only the driver could hear. The driver nodded, curious but not too curious. Later, as Floyd clipped a customer’s ear, he casually mentioned, ‘That package was heavier than it looked.’ A regular nearby chuckled, ‘At least you didn’t try cutting hair with it!’
