About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular was getting his usual trim, he heard an odd announcement over the shop’s old radio: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, it seems our barber has developed a new technique—now your haircut can cure hiccups!’ A delivery driver, noticing everyone leaving with big smiles, asked curiously if they sold happy pills too. The barber just winked and said, 'No, but now you get a free hug with every cut!'
2. One day, while waiting for his turn in Hair of the Dog Barbershop, a regular noticed something peculiar on the wall calendar. "Hey, is that date really moving backward?" he asked, pointing at the slowly shifting numbers. A delivery driver overheard the commotion and leaned in curiously. 'That's no ordinary calendar,' he whispered. 'It's haunted!' Before anyone could react, the shopkeeper smiled knowingly. 'Actually, it's just my wife's latest project—she loves making those time-traveling calendars.' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another quirky hobby from Hair of the Dog’s friendly owner.
3. While waiting for his turn at Hair of the Dog Barbershop, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar wafting through the open door. A faint scent of freshly baked cookies mingled with the usual aroma of shampoo and clippers. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old gentleman trimming someone’s beard while humming softly to himself. Suddenly, the barber reached into a hidden compartment behind him and pulled out a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies! With a smile, he offered one to everyone in line—even the delivery driver got two. It turned out that Mr. Jenkins, the eccentric owner, believed good haircuts required equally good treats.
4. While waiting for his turn at Hair of the Dog Barbershop, a neighbor asked curiously, ‘Do you ever wonder why they call it “hair of the dog”?’ ‘Oh,’ said another customer, grinning sheepishly, ‘it’s because if you’ve had too much fun last night, and your head feels like a dog’s fur after combing it, then having a drink first thing in the morning is like putting some more hair on that dog.’ A delivery driver laughed heartily, shaking his head, while a regular winked knowingly, making everyone chuckle.
