About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers settled into their usual spots, an old sign above the barber chairs caught everyone’s eye. It read: ‘Today’s special: haircuts that grow on trees.’ A delivery driver stopped mid-step and asked, ‘What does that even mean?’ A regular customer raised his eyebrows and replied, 'It means you’re out of clippers!' The delivery driver burst out laughing, while a neighbor added, 'Or maybe they use magic scissors?' Everyone had a good laugh, and the day turned from ordinary to memorable.
2. Every Monday afternoon, just as patrons were settling in for their weekly shaves, Eves & Sons Barbers would receive a mysterious package from an anonymous donor. Inside each box was a single pair of mismatched socks—one red, one blue. One Monday, an excited delivery driver arrived with a particularly large box. The owner opened it curiously and found not two but four mismatched socks—two red and two blue. He looked around puzzled, then shrugged and distributed them among his customers. That evening, everyone left wearing matching outfits: one man sported a red tie and blue shirt, another had on blue pants and a red scarf. It became Eves & Sons’ unofficial tradition—they called it ‘socktober.’
3. One day, while waiting for his turn, a regular noticed something odd on the wall behind the barber’s chair. ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, pointing, ‘is that really a picture of Abraham Lincoln cutting someone’s hair?’ The barber looked up and smiled, “Yep, it’s our little secret. He was a pretty good stylist back then!” A delivery driver chimed in, “I bet he never cut anyone’s hair as close as modern barbers do.” Everyone laughed, realizing they were part of an old-timey urban legend.}
4. While waiting for his turn, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they still use those old clippers?’ Suddenly, the vintage machine hummed to life with a distinctly different tune than before. The barber smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Ah, you mean our trusty Model A? It’s been here longer than most of my customers!’ The man laughed, realizing he was in good hands. As he settled into his chair, the clipper’s familiar buzzing sent him back to simpler times—until another customer, a delivery driver, exclaimed, ‘Hey, I thought that thing was broken!’
