Best Barber Shops In Royal Oak

“Drake did an amazing job on my nephew’s hair cut. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the shop, and will continue to bring my nephew here to get his hair cut.“

“George took care of me today. Great service all around. One of the best barbers i have seen. I recommend trying out george. He’s a good guy thanks alot ?“

“Good barbers are hard to find. It’s even harder to find good people. Jay is both of those.“

“Extraordinary work from each of the ladies here! I will be a regular customer from here on out. They have immense respect for themselves and professionalism, and on more than one occasion in my recent visit with my son did they have to deal with horrid clients. The ladies handled everything with class and my son left happy. My daughter did not feel left out and the lady who looked similar to her ethnicity had great conversations with her. Every drop of my money for a haircut was well earned.“

“Excellent service, easy to make reservations quality, old school haircuts and barber services.“

“Jaime did a great job with my wavy hair. She took her time to understand exactly what kind of haircut I wanted. She was very informative on what types of ingredients I should look for when finding new products. No other salon has actually taken my hair texture into account when cutting my hair. I appreciate her kindness and helpfulness. She's a well-rounded stylist and knows how to do many things, and does them well! Thanks Jaime.“

“I’ve been to the place and haircuts are great, but it let me book an appointment and app said it’s open yet location is closed making me waste part of my day.“

“Both Scott and Dan are friendly, talented barbers. Attentive, knowledgeable, and consistent are just a few of their many great qualities. I highly recommend these guys.“

“Although Thomas was sad to have to cut it, he did a great job with the hair cut and beard trim we had to do for my hubs.? His beard was down to his bellybutton and we had to cut it to about 1/2 inches long. ?“

“I had the BEST experience at this hair salon! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and relaxed. The space is clean, cozy, and has such a calm, happy vibe.

But the real magic came from the lovely lady who cut my hair. She is not only incredibly kind and genuine, but she also did an absolutely amazing job on my hair! She knew exactly what I needed even better than I did. The cut is fresh, flattering, and beautifully done. It has shape, movement, and feels so healthy I can’t stop looking at it in the mirror!

She listened carefully, offered great suggestions, and made the whole experience feel like a treat. You can tell she really loves what she does and puts her heart into it. I left feeling like a new person and couldn’t be happier with the results.

This was honestly one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had, and I can’t wait to go back. Highly, highly recommend! ?‍♀️✨“

“My son and I have been coming here for years. Sal and Steven will treat you like family, and they’ll give you the highest quality cut at an affordable price. True barbers in every sense of the word. No reservations here, so be prepared to wait. And it’s cash only (like a true barber shop). Glad to be a regular here.“

“Been going here sense I was a kid. I still drive out there for a hair cut even after all these year's.“

“Tre’zure is such a dope stylist! She’s always reliable with being on time and my retwist looks great every time. Plus having a stylist that also can do a great line-up is icing on the cake“

“Lester was amazing! Hands down the best haircut my son has ever had. We made sure to book our next haircut before we left.“

“I was in search of a new place for a haircut since my old salon closed permanently - the owner sold it to new owners and retired. I saw no reason to keep driving to the location when my stylist was not still there, so I checked out salons closer to home. I tried Stronghold based on their location, vibe, and great reviews.

Additionally, I had not had a haircut in months, had been isolating during the winter, and looked like garbage. I made a long-to-short appointment (costs just $5 more than a standard haircut and provides more time for your appointment) with Alicia Whitney, and she took excellent care of me. She listened to everything I shared about my hair, made great suggestions, and took care throughout the process to make sure I was liking the results. It was clear immediately that she understood my hair and had ideas for how to help me look my best. She did spectacular work and sent me home looking much better than I have in some time. It was really nice to be cut by a fellow Millennial who had such mastery of her craft.

Parking is up Main Street from downtown Royal Oak. There is affordable street parking which is far enough from 11 mile that it usually has plenty of free spaces. If you're trying hard to save a buck, this is probably walkable from 11 mile areas like the farmer's market, but I was able to park right in front for a dollar.

I'll definitely be back, and enthusiastically recommend both Stronghold Barber Co and Alicia.“

“Miquela did a great job making us feel comfortable and welcome for my husband’s first haircut here! We didn’t know exactly what style we were looking for and she did a great job helping us figure it out and asking for our input along the way.“

“Coming here was a joy, didn’t know what I wanted so let Pat clean me up. Did a great job and was a pleasure meeting him“
