About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while cutting up some customer’s locks at Cuttin’ up on College, the barber noticed something odd—an old delivery driver kept glancing nervously at the clock above the door. The kid sweeping the floor started giggling every time he passed that spot too. Finally, an elderly gentleman entered and asked for a trim. While chatting, he mentioned how much he loved watching the clock because it reminded him of his granddaughter’s birthday. Turns out, everyone was just counting down until they could celebrate together again!
2. A little girl walked into Cuttin’ Up on College one afternoon, her eyes wide with curiosity as she watched the stylist expertly twirl scissors in mid-air. Suddenly, she pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Look, mama, it’s a unicorn!’ The stylist froze mid-scissor-twirl, blinked, then burst out laughing. ‘Not today, sweetie,’ she said gently, but everyone in the shop had already heard—and that was how Cuttin’ Up on College earned its reputation for magical moments.’
3. One day, as a regular was getting his usual cut at Cuttin’ Up on College, he overheard the stylist muttering something under her breath: ‘I wish I could style your hair like you style my days.’ The next thing he knew, his hairdo looked exactly like his life—messy yet manageable. A few weeks later, another customer—a delivery driver—walked in with a package for the stylist. As she opened it, she exclaimed, 'Oh no, not again!' Turns out, it was a box of mismatched hair clips shaped like traffic signs and stoplights. Everyone laughed so hard that even the clippers stopped buzzing for a moment.
4. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Cuttin’ Up on College with a van full of supplies. As he unlocked the door, a strange scent wafted through the air—something between freshly baked bread and old books. The stylist inside looked up from her scissors, her eyes twinkling with curiosity. ‘Morning,’ she said, smiling warmly. ‘Did you bring in that special shampoo?’ The driver nodded, grinning sheepishly as he opened the back doors. Suddenly, an enormous cat jumped out, startling both of them—but it was quickly followed by another dozen or so felines, all purring contentedly. ‘Oh, those are mine,’ laughed the stylist. ‘They help keep things interesting.’ And with that, life at Cuttin’ Up on College continued, just a little bit more colorful.
