Trending Styles for Utica Professionals

Utica's mix of blue-collar workers, young professionals, and retirees means we see a wide range of style requests. Here are the most popular cuts for Utica clients:

The Executive Taper

Clean, professional, and easy to maintain. The executive taper is perfect for Utica professionals who work along the Hall Road corridor or commute to Troy and Auburn Hills.

A modern, low-maintenance style that looks great with Utica's active outdoor lifestyle. Whether you're at Stoney Creek Metropark or downtown for the Ice Festival, the textured crop holds up.

Simple, clean, and bold. This combination is hugely popular with Macomb County guys who want a low-maintenance cut that still looks sharp.
