About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their usual cuts and styles, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the shop’s intercom: ‘Attention everyone—your barber today is none other than the legendary Dundun himself, straight from the streets of New Orleans!’ As the announcement echoed through the shop, everyone looked up curiously. A regular, sitting near the window, whispered, 'I thought he retired years ago.' Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in with a big smile on his face, holding a bag filled with beignets. He announced proudly, 'Ladies and gentlemen, I brought our new barber some fresh café du monde!' The entire place burst into laughter, realizing that maybe this was just another day at Dundun's, where legends meet reality—and beignets always win.
2. One day, while waiting for his trim, a regular asked the barber: ‘Hey, I’ve been noticing these strange noises coming from behind the counter. What are they?’ The barber smiled mysteriously and replied: ‘Oh, that? Just our secret signal for when we need more shampoo.’ Suddenly, an excited voice came from the back: 'More conditioner!' A delivery driver appeared with a box, grinning sheepishly. The barber winked at the regular and said, 'See? Our little secret.'
3. One afternoon, a young delivery driver pulled up outside Dundun's with a box of freshly baked pastries. As he stepped out, he noticed something odd—an old man wearing a top hat was whispering into his mirror, combing invisible strands of hair. Curious, the delivery driver approached and asked what he was doing. The old man turned around, smiled warmly, and said, ‘Just making sure my reflection is as sharp as ever.’ Turned out, he was just a regular customer who loved coming here for more than just a haircut—he’d been visiting Dundun’s since before anyone could remember!’
4. A neighborhood kid was practicing his magic tricks on the sidewalk outside Dundun's one sunny afternoon. All of a sudden, he made an old hat disappear right from the head of a delivery driver who happened to walk by. Everyone burst out laughing, including the barbershop customers inside, who had just peeked through the window. The magician blushed and quickly replaced the hat—leaving everyone with a smile and a good story to tell.
