About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most barbershops were quiet, an old man with a mysterious hat entered The Barber Co of Wausau. He sat in the corner chair and never spoke, just watched the morning light through the window. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and struck up a conversation. Turned out the old man was simply waiting for his reflection to fade from the shop’s antique mirror. They became friends, and now every morning, someone greets the silent figure with a warm smile—and maybe even a cup of coffee.
2. In the dim light of The Barber Co of Wausau one morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath: ‘Why does it always rain on my parade?’ Just then, an old gentleman in a tweed suit entered, muttering about the weather. 'Can't seem to catch a break,' he said, adjusting his hat. The delivery driver looked up, grinned and replied, 'At least you didn't get stuck with wet feet like me!' And so, amidst laughter and banter, another ordinary day turned into something special at The Barber Co of Wausau.
3. At closing time, as the last customer left The Barber Co of Wausau, a sign on the door lit up mysteriously: ‘Free Haircuts for Neighbors Who Smile First.’ Soon enough, an old delivery driver walked in with a big smile, thinking he’d get his head trimmed for free. The barber laughed and said, 'Welcome, neighbor! But remember, smiles are contagious—maybe you’ll spread more joy today than I can cut off!'
4. Who keeps leaving those tiny wooden horses in the window sill? One day, a delivery driver noticed one of the horses had been replaced with a tiny cow. He laughed it off until he saw a miniature chicken the next week. Soon enough, the whole town was buzzing about who was leaving these little critters. Turns out, an old barber, retired and bored, decided to have some fun, sneaking into the shop after hours to swap them around.
