Founded in 2010 by a seasoned barber with a vision, A Cut Above The Rest started as a dream in Lansing and transformed into a reality in Detroit. Our journey began with a simple, yet profound commitment: to provide exceptional barbering services that cater to the needs of every customer, regardless of their hair type, style preference, or gender. After gaining valuable experience and lessons in our initial years, we rebranded and relaunched in Detroit in 2013 with a renewed focus on high-quality service and customer satisfaction.

Our mission is rooted in the belief that every client deserves not just a haircut, but an experience – an experience that combines skill, comfort, and a sense of belonging. We're not just barbers; we're artists who take pride in turning a routine grooming session into an art form. This commitment to excellence is what led us to expand our services, including plans for a mobile barber unit and a barber school. By doing so, we aim to reach a wider audience, from businessmen in downtown to those seeking convenient, high-end services at their doorstep.

As we look to the future, our vision is clear. We want to be more than a barbershop; we aim to be a cornerstone in the community, a place where the next generation of barbers are trained in not only the craft but also the business of barbering. We envision a space where learning and grooming coexist, providing a stepping stone for aspiring barbers to build successful careers.

Our growth has been steady, marked by a resilience that saw us through challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic. We've adapted and innovated, from offering special pricing for kids and seniors to engaging with our community through local advertisements. Our competitive edge lies in our ability to provide quick, quality service thanks to our team of 8 skilled barbers, including freshly graduated talents honing their skills under careful supervision.

Our barbers bring their unique flair and expertise, contributing to a diverse and inclusive environment. This diversity is reflected in our wide range of services, catering to different races, hair textures, and styles. From classic hot towel shaves to the latest hair trends, we ensure that every client leaves our shop feeling refreshed and confident.

Our commitment goes beyond just haircuts. We're in the process of launching our own line of hair care products, including brushes, du-rags, and sponges, adding a new dimension to our business model. We're also keen on enhancing our service offerings, with detailed upselling options like hair enhancements and specialized treatments.

Our customers are the heart of our business. Most of them are regulars, coming in for routine cuts, and we've seen a growing interest from a diverse demographic. We're actively working to expand our reach to a wider audience in the Downriver Detroit and Metro Detroit area looking for upscale, professional barber services and who value both style and convenience.

In terms of marketing, we're revamping our approach. Our presence on social media, particularly Instagram, is a key focus area. We aim to optimize our content, showcasing our wide range of skills and services to attract a broader audience. We're also exploring partnerships with local businesses and sports teams to strengthen our community ties.

As we continue to grow, our goal remains unchanged: to provide a superior barbering experience that's a cut above the rest. Our shop is a place where tradition meets modernity, where every haircut is a statement of style and professionalism. We invite you to be part of our journey, to experience the difference that comes with being a client at A Cut Above The Rest.
