Curley's Family Barbershop

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Curley’s with an unusual package. As he approached the door, the barbershop sign started wobbling slightly on its own. The delivery driver opened the box curiously and found inside a tiny pair of scissors wrapped in a handkerchief. He looked around nervously, then quietly placed them on the counter. Later that day, when Curley took a break, he noticed the scissors moving ever so slightly—just like the sign outside. ‘Strange,’ thought Curley, smiling, as his regulars chuckled and shook their heads.

2. A customer walked into Curley’s one afternoon and asked, ‘Hey, do you guys ever get strange requests here?’ Curley looked up from cutting someone’s hair and replied, ‘Not really, but wait till you hear what happened last week.’ Curley paused for a moment, then grinned mischievously. 'So,' he said, 'this delivery driver comes in last Thursday, ranting about how his truck won't start. Next thing I know, he's asking if we could fix it!' The whole place burst out laughing as Curley shook his head. 'Needless to say, we just gave him a haircut and wished him luck.'

3. A few years ago, someone asked Curley, the barber, jokingly, ‘Do you cut hair like it’s your last day on Earth?’ The next week, everyone in town seemed to be saying those exact words. Then one morning, a delivery driver walked in and said, ‘Curley, I heard you only cut hair like it’s your last day.’ With a twinkle in his eye, Curley replied, ‘Today is your lucky day!’ Everyone cracked up, and from then on, every visit became an excuse for a good laugh.

4. A little old lady parked her car outside Curley’s one foggy morning and rushed in, clutching something under her coat. The barber raised an eyebrow as she approached the counter, her face pale but determined. Underneath her coat was a small basket filled with freshly baked cookies. 'For you boys,' she whispered. 'To keep up your spirits.' The whole shop broke into laughter—turns out it was just Mrs. Jenkins, dropping off her famous chocolate chip cookies!'
