Sterling Heights Barbershop

Barbering for Sterling Heights

Sterling Heights is one of Macomb County's largest cities, home to Lakeside Mall, Dodge Park, and the Stellantis Sterling Heights Assembly Plant on Mound Rd. Detroit Barbers does not currently have a shop within Sterling Heights, but our Shelby Township location on Market St is close enough that it functions as the go-to barbershop for a lot of residents on the eastern side of the city near Van Dyke and Schoenherr.

Getting there from Lakeside Mall is straightforward: head east on Hall Rd, also known as M-59, then turn north on Van Dyke or Schoenherr and follow it into Shelby Township toward Market St. The drive usually takes 12 to 15 minutes, and traffic on Hall Rd is the only real variable, especially near the mall on a Saturday afternoon.

For guys coming off a shift at the assembly plant on Mound Rd, the shop is easy to reach by cutting over to Van Dyke and heading north. A lot of our regulars from that stretch like to book a fade, which starts at $40, or a straightforward men's haircut starting at $35, before heading home for the evening. Line-ups start at $20 for a quick clean-up between full appointments.

Families near Dodge Park also make the trip for kids haircuts, which start at $30, and for the hot towel straight razor shave at $45 when someone wants to look sharp for a wedding or a milestone birthday near the park. Beard trims start at $20 and are one of the most common add-ons for Sterling Heights clients who keep a tighter beard through the work week.

The shop is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 to 7, Saturday 10 to 5, and Sunday 11 to 5, closed Monday, so there is flexibility around most Sterling Heights work schedules including plant shift changes. Free lot parking at the door on Market St also beats circling for a spot near the mall, which makes the short drive worth it for a lot of Sterling Heights clients.

Sterling Heights also has a large population of residents who commute along Van Dyke or M-59 for work outside the city, and a lot of them fold a haircut into that commute rather than treating it as a separate errand. Coming from the eastern neighborhoods near 18 Mile or 19 Mile, it is often just as fast to continue north to Shelby Township as it would be to find parking near a shop closer to the mall on a Saturday.

Clients from the Dodge Park neighborhoods tell us the shop feels less rushed than some of the bigger salons near the retail corridor, since appointments are spaced out enough that a barber is not trying to squeeze in too many chairs at once. That pacing matters for a hot towel shave especially, since rushing through the hot towel steps defeats the purpose of the service.

For Sterling Heights parents managing school pickup and sports practice, the ability to book a late afternoon slot online, right up until closing at 7 on weekdays, makes it easier to fit a haircut into an already full week without missing anything else on the calendar.
