About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a delivery driver was making his rounds, he noticed an odd sound coming from SimplyFaded Barbershop. It was like someone humming an old tune, but with a slight twist—almost as if it were being played backward. Curious, he peered inside and saw only an elderly gentleman quietly cutting hair to the eerie melody. Turns out, the barber had been listening to his favorite vinyl records in reverse for decades—it helped him focus better. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and smiling, thinking that maybe SimplyFaded Barbershop really did have something special going on.
2. While waiting for his haircut one afternoon, a regular overheard two barbers discussing their latest discovery. ‘Did you see that old man across the street?’ asked one, pointing out the window. The other replied, grinning mischievously, ‘He’s been sneaking into our shop every night!’ The first barber shook his head with a smile, whispering, 'I think he just wants us to believe he's sneaky.' A few minutes later, an older gentleman walked in for his usual trim, and everyone burst out laughing when they saw him sitting next to the real intruder—a delivery driver dozing off after a long shift.
3. While getting his usual trim, an elderly gentleman leaned towards the mirror and asked the barber, ‘Do you ever notice how our customers never seem to leave?’ The barber raised an eyebrow and replied with a smile, ‘No sir, they always seem to find their way back.’ Just then, another customer walked in—the same one who had just left—caught mid-step, muttered something about forgetting his hat, and sat down next to the old man. Everyone burst into laughter, including the barber, who remarked, “Welcome home, old friend!”
4. One day after noon, a sign appeared outside SimplyFaded Barbershop that read: ‘Today’s special: haircuts so good, your worries fade away—forever!’ Inside, an old regular sat in his usual chair, muttering, 'I hope today’s magic works better than last week's.' The barber smiled and replied, 'Trust me, sir, once you leave here, you'll forget even why you came!' And indeed, when he left, the man walked past his own house without noticing it was his.
