Methodology
- Source: Google Maps listing data collected by the Detroit Barber Co. city guide network.
- Coverage: Metro Detroit = Wayne, Oakland, Macomb counties (46 cities covered); the full network covers 67 Michigan cities.
- Shops counted: Google Business listings with the primary category “Barber shop” inside each city guide’s coverage area, de-duplicated by Google place ID.
- Barber schools are excluded.
- Hours are the hours each shop posts on Google; the hours figures cover only the 480 Metro Detroit shops that post hours.
- Ratings and review counts are Google’s. The average rating counts only shops with 10 or more reviews.
- Snapshot taken November 2026.
- No prices are included, because barbershops do not publish prices consistently.
