About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for his usual trim, an old man noticed something peculiar outside the Off The Top Barbershop. A small dog kept sniffing around the corner of the building, its tail wagging curiously as if following some invisible trail. As he watched, the dog suddenly stopped and started digging furiously near a large pothole. Curious passersby gathered, thinking it had found a bone or treasure, but the barber shook his head with a smile, knowing better. Turned out, the little fellow was just trying to scratch an itch under his collar!
2. One day, as a regular was getting his usual cut, he asked the barber: ‘Hey, do you ever notice how our customers always seem to leave with perfect haircuts… except one guy?’ The barber shrugged and said, 'Oh yeah, I remember him—always comes in with some wild story or another.' Just then, an old man walked in wearing a fedora and a big smile. 'Morning, boys!' he called out cheerfully. Everyone burst into laughter when they recognized him—the same guy who never got his haircut right.
3. One afternoon, while shaving off the days on his beard, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the shop’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our newest customer is none other than your future self from five minutes ago.’ Surprised but unfazed, the delivery driver looked around, only to see himself standing there, holding a freshly cut beard. With a smile, he nodded at his past self and said, 'Hey, mate—looks like you forgot to pick up my package again!' And so, they both laughed, shook hands, and went their separate ways—one heading for a missed appointment, the other for a late lunch.
4. One morning, as a regular was sitting in his usual spot, he suddenly caught whiff of something strange—an oddly sweet scent that lingered just beyond the shop's door. Curious, he followed the scent outside and found an old neighbor watering his garden with a bottle of perfume instead of water. Turns out, they were both trying to cover up the same old barbershop smell—a mix of stale cigarettes, old leather chairs, and freshly cut hair—that had become part of Off The Top’s charm.
