About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a regular was getting his weekly trim, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from the back room. The barbershop owner just smiled and said it was ‘the old electric clippers singing their song.’ But soon enough, everyone started hearing it too—an eerie, almost musical tone that seemed to change pitch depending on who sat in the chair. Finally, one day a delivery driver joked that maybe it was the ghost of Mr. Jenkins, the previous owner’s parrot, trying to learn how to talk again. Everyone laughed, but then they heard the humming stop abruptly. The next customer turned out to be Mr. Jenkins’ actual grandson, who’d come for a surprise visit. Turns out, he brought along his own talking parrot—and no strange sounds since.
2. While waiting for his turn in the cozy old barbershop one afternoon, a delivery driver absentmindedly placed his package on the counter. Suddenly, the shop’s vintage radio started playing an unexpected tune—an old folk song that no one in town remembered hearing before. The tune was so unfamiliar yet captivating that everyone in the shop stopped what they were doing and listened intently. Just as the last note faded away, the delivery driver turned around, only to discover that his package had vanished without a trace. With a shrug, he shrugged it off, figuring it must’ve been ‘borrowed’ by someone who liked folk music more than him.
3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Rough Cut Barbershop. The soft hum of the shop’s neon sign cut through the quiet street like a whisper. As he stepped out, a strange scent wafted from the open door—a mix of fresh coffee and something… musky? Curious, he glanced inside. Inside, an old radio played jazz softly, and in front of him stood an eccentric barber with wild grey hair and a twinkle in his eye. ‘Morning, stranger,’ said the barber cheerfully. ‘What’ll it be today—an ordinary haircut or maybe something... extraordinary?’ The delivery driver laughed nervously as he settled into the chair, realizing that perhaps this wasn’t just any barbershop after all.
4. One day after work, a neighbor stopped by the shop and asked curiously: ‘Have you ever seen that strange shadow moving behind the barber’s chair?’ The barber shook his head with a smile, replying, 'No, never noticed anything unusual.' Then, out of nowhere, a regular customer walked in and exclaimed, 'Hey, I saw it too!' Turns out, it was just the reflection of an old poster on the wall, dancing in the sunlight through the window.
