About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for his turn in Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, a regular noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small wooden box with no label or tag. Curious, he asked Floyd what it was. With a twinkle in his eye, Floyd replied only that it held ‘the secret to perfect haircuts.’ Soon enough, other customers started asking about the mysterious box too. A delivery driver joked that maybe it contained free samples of shampoo, but Floyd just smiled mysteriously. Finally, an old neighbor dared to open it himself—only to discover…nothing inside except an empty space and a tiny note reading: 'Perfect haircuts come from patience.' Everyone laughed, realizing that Floyd’s true secret was simply good company and time well spent.
2. While getting his usual trim at Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, an elderly gentleman exclaimed, ‘I just saw the strangest thing outside!’ Curious customers leaned forward, and he continued, ‘The mailman was riding his bicycle… backwards.’ Another customer chimed in, ‘Wait a minute—maybe it wasn’t him at all! Maybe it was just a bike with a funny mirror on it.’ The old man thought for a moment, then nodded wisely and said, ‘Ah, that makes sense, sonny. In my day, you couldn’t trust no mirrors these days.’ Everyone laughed heartily as Floyd finished up their cuts, leaving behind not only freshly styled hair but also a good story to take home.
3. While getting his haircut at Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, a regular picked up something unusual from the counter—a small, dusty box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he opened it and found himself holding a bag of mysterious candies that everyone in town started calling ‘Barber Balls.’ Soon enough, everyone was talking about these sweet little treats. A delivery driver even swapped some for an extra slice of pizza one day. Word got around that if you ate three Barber Balls before your next visit, you'd get an extra minute off your haircut time. Needless to say, Floyd had quite the line forming every morning.
4. While getting his haircut at Floyd’s 99 Barbershop, a regular reached under the counter and pulled out an old, dusty guitar case. Curious, he opened it to reveal a vintage ukulele with a handwritten note inside that read: ‘To my best barber, thank you for always making me smile.’ As it turned out, the ukulele belonged to the shop owner’s long-lost uncle who used to visit regularly years ago. The regulars now knew why Floyd always had such a warm smile—because he was humming along to his own secret tunes while cutting hair. And ever since then, every Wednesday afternoon became Ukulele Appreciation Day at Floyd’s 99 Barbershop.
