About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At MKE Shears one morning, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, did you see that? The barbershop sign is moving!’ Before anyone could blink, passersby started noticing too—just a slight sway when no wind blew. Soon everyone was gathering around, pointing and whispering. A regular shouted, ‘It’s magic!’ Just then, an old lady passing by said calmly, ‘No dear, it’s just those pesky wires from the new electric sign.’ Everyone laughed, and life returned to normal—except for the occasional glance at the sign whenever there was a breeze.
2. At MKE Shears, a customer asked curiously, ‘Why does everyone here seem to be talking in rhymes?’ The stylist smiled and replied, ‘Well, it’s our little secret—we’re all poets here!’ The customer laughed and said, ‘I’ll bet you are,’ before leaving with a new hairstyle and a rhyming business card that read “MKE Shears: Cutting Your Hair…and Maybe Your Troubles Too!”'
3. At MKE Shears, every afternoon around three o’clock, an old man with a hat would sit in the corner and hum softly to himself. No one knew what he was singing or why, but soon the entire salon joined in—even the stylist’s dogs started barking along. One day, a new intern walked in, curious about the old man's tune. 'Excuse me,' she asked timidly, 'what song is that?' The old man looked up, smiled wisely, and replied, 'It's the theme from my favorite movie—can't remember which one.' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another MKE Shears afternoon ritual.
4. At MKE Shears, customers often overhear a peculiar conversation between two barbers. One day, an older gentleman asked curiously, 'Do you ever wonder why our clippers always seem to cut just a little too close?' The other barber, with a twinkle in his eye, replied, ‘Of course I do! But that’s how we keep our clients coming back—nobody else dares get this close!’ The old man laughed heartily and said, ‘I’ll be back next week then.’
