Getting here

Same road,
different county.

Dequindre Road is the Macomb–Oakland county line and the Sterling Heights–Troy border. 16 Mile runs through both cities: Metro Parkway on your side, Big Beaver on ours.

Directions from Sterling Heights

The route

Take Metro Parkway west. At Dequindre it becomes Big Beaver Road and you're in Troy — the suite is a short run further on. From Van Dyke or Mound that's about four or five miles.

Why it's worth crossing

Sterling Heights is Michigan's fourth-largest city, and most of its barbering is built for volume. This is one barber with one chair and a calendar, which is a different proposition entirely.

Paying and parking

Lot parking at the door. Cards, Booksy Pay and Klarna are all accepted, and gift cards are available through Booksy.

Why they make the drive

One chair,
and a barber who signs it.

A city of 134,000 has no shortage of places to sit down. What it mostly has is chairs staffed by whoever's next, which is fine right up until you want the same fade twice in a row.

Social Barber Society is Mario's suite. Every appointment is his, design work included — razored parts, shaved geometry in the nape, the things that go wrong immediately if the hand holding the trimmer is having an off day. That isn't work you want rostered.

Sixty-eight ratings on Booksy, not one below five. Clients have been in this chair three and four years running.

“Been going to Mario for 3–4 years now and he delivers every time.” Taé — client, via Booksy

Sterling Heights, Michigan

What Macomb clients come over for.

Fades and detail work, mostly. A skin fade is $45 and takes the full 30 minutes, because the difference between a good one and a cheap one is entirely in the blending — no visible steps, no line where the guard changed, nothing that shows up in photographs two days later.

Hair art and shaved designs

Shaved designs, razored parts and geometric work in the nape are a regular part of the book here rather than a novelty. Bring a reference photo. It gets talked through before anything is cut, and it's the same person cutting it every time you come back — which is what makes a design maintainable instead of a one-off.

Beards

Haircut & Beard Trim is 45 minutes at $60, with the beard shaped, lined and detailed as its own piece of work. Buzz Cut + Beard Trim is $45 if the top is going short anyway.
