About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for his usual cut, a regular noticed an old, dusty comb stuck in the doorframe of Bert’s Hair Design. Curious, he picked it up and found an ancient note attached: ‘Take this comb if you ever feel lost or unseen.’ Since then, whenever someone leaves, they leave something small behind—a pair of scissors here, a forgotten hat there—creating a quirky collection of lost treasures. Finally, one day a grumpy delivery driver left behind a crumpled envelope with just one word: ‘Overcharge!’ But when Bert cleaned it off, out popped a tiny packet of free mints. Now, every time someone forgets something, Bert jokes, ‘At least we get some refreshments!’
2. While getting his monthly trim one day, a regular heard something unusual over Bert's intercom: ‘Attention please—if you see a talking poodle wearing a bowtie exiting our salon, do not be alarmed.’ Curious, he asked Bert later that week. ‘Oh,’ said Bert with a twinkle in his eye, ‘that was just my friend, Professor Paws. He helps me test new hairstyles on four legs.’ A few days later, a delivery driver commented, ‘I saw him too—he even tipped me with a sausage!’
3. While sitting in his usual chair, a regular watched curiously as Bert placed a small, mysterious box on the shelf behind him. Curiosity got the better of him, so he asked what it was. With a twinkle in his eye, Bert replied, ‘Oh, that? Just an old antique clock I found.’ The regular settled back, relieved—until Bert added, ‘It’ll be ready when you’re done with your cut.’
4. At dawn, when most barbershops are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Bert’s Hair Design with an oddly heavy box. As he opened it, a strange scent filled the air, and soon the entire neighborhood began whispering about the mysterious new clientele. Word spread quickly that Bert's latest customers were demanding but polite, always tipping generously in tiny envelopes marked 'For services rendered'. Eventually, one curious neighbor peeked inside during a slow day and found rows of combed hair neatly arranged on shelves—all meticulously styled for different occasions. To this day, locals still wonder if Bert has a secret army of clients or just an unusually attentive ghost.
