FAQs
Do I need a Michigan barber license to apply?
Yes — an active Michigan barber license is required to cut on our floor. If your license is pending, apply anyway and let us know your timeline.
Is this commission or booth rent?
We offer both structures depending on the location and your book. We'll walk you through the math during the interview so you can pick what works for you.
Do I have to build my own book from scratch?
No. Every Detroit Barbers shop has steady walk-in volume and online booking through Square. New barbers fill their chair within the first few weeks.
