As of February 8, 2025 I took my 13-year-old son into kingdom Cuts located at (3045 Walton Blvd., Auburn Hills, MI 48326) for an authentic barber experience... Immediately walking in we were turned down, the three gentlemen their, two were cutting hair though the other barber guy who might have been the owner, was sitting in the first chair on his phone & proceeded to ask how can I help you, where I replied my son would like an authentic barbershop haircut and immediately we were told by the gentleman, they only take appointments, THOUGH on the website, it clearly shows WALK-INS welcome and the thing is my wife called & they stated that they were open for walk-ins that day... By NO MEANS am I racist but my son & I are white & the barbershop we took our son to were black, mind you, I knew going into choosing this barbershop that it may be more towards a certain nationality from the photos provided by Google maps but any ways... Two out of the three chairs were taken up by two customers while the other guy sat playing on his phone there were no other customers... All three barbers were black & the customers were also black... All three barbers told us the same thing, either we're busy or we only take appointments & I had a feeling that after that reply, we weren't welcome there... Part of me was saddened & let down & it doesn't matter where you live but knowing that in this area it's mixed, with middle-class residence & the disappointment from my son, knowing that racism might have been a big factor... They had a smug (we don't want you here) look & audible demeanor & we where told by the barber who was sitting in the chair with his phone that we had openings for next week... Another barber said "yeah, schedule one week from now" I replied I'm sorry, we're not in this general area all the time & was told "ah man" I said in a upbeat chipper kinda demeanor "I just wanted my son to have an authentic barber cut my sons hair by professionals" & and was told with a slight aggressive tone "excuse me" so I had to repeat myself in a calm, relaxed tone the exact same thing I said, the Barber then said "Oh, yeah, we only take appointments & schedule next week" I said thank you, please have a wonderful rest of the day and left with my son. During this small ordeal, our demeanor was calm, part of me felt like I couldn't believe that this was happening, but there was nothing we could do at that moment but leave with our heads down confused & let down... With our vehicle parked right in front of their business, while sitting in the vehicle for 10 minutes, trying to find another barbershop the Barber that was sitting in the chair was still on his phone & they only had one customer leave. Within that 10 minutes, one more customer walked in while being assisted by the other barber who was just done cutting the other guys hair... Mind You the possible owner was sitting in the chair on his phone, smiling, while the other two barbers continue to cut here... I understand that a business owner can turn down business anytime in some cases, but to turn down business because of a person's color is mind blowing & too let down a young man who just wanted a hair cut, I never thought a persons color would play a factor... Still in 2025 it's unbelievable how people are still racist, so my son who's 13 just learned something that day, which says a lot.... Everyone needs to understand that being a good person plays the biggest factor regardless of what race you are or what religion you are in this world, the people you love who are blood can hurt you horribly & let you down sometimes & disappoint you so, it doesn't matter what color or religion you are, it's who you are inside, how caring of a person you are & all those other positive qualities! In this world, there are ignorant people & it's not all flowers & candy & that yes there are people that still hate & that's something I don't teach! We did find a salon, a half a mile down the street who did an incredible job with our son's hair "Salon 35" which on their window states walk-ins welcome! (248) 377-9650 For this post though that I posted it's mostly rhetorical and I hope that my review doesn't confuse people who are sensitive and offended... At no means at all do I want to offend, but I had to express my experience with that business that we dealt with... I am almost 40 & my heritage is mostly Irish, Polish, French Canadian, Swedish & I grew up in a big family of 10, with my parents still married after 50 years... Over my years, I've learned about politics, but I also learned what it means on how to be diplomatic, being diplomatic means seeing both views & understanding that everyone has an opinion & their own feelings, but that were all equal... I hope the barbers that we dealt with grow and learn to hate less and understand there's a lot more out in this world that's beautiful... read more

Everything you hear about this place sounds ablack right I called the ahead of time to see if they accepted Walk-ins was told yes upon arriving two of the three barbers were sitting on their phone. Two people were sitting waiting while the third barber was cutting. I was greeted upon entering the building said I called ahead and they told me they don't take walk-ins and I need to set up an appointment online I then said I called ahead and was told to come up if I called ahead that should be my appointment if you didn't want to take my name down that's on you, but you told me to come absolutely horrible vibe horrible service horrible all around experience and was only there for less than five minutes I'm surprise they're still in business. read more

This place is an oasis in Oakland County. Great barbers, great value for the money and a great location easy to get on and off the freeway and get back to work. I love the mix of business professionals, student, young or black white and everything in between. 5 stars read more

The most horrible experience ever I would like to rate no stars but in order to comment I had to chose 1 star. My son went to this establishment on Saturday, April 14, 2018. The gentleman at the first station as you walk in took my son as a walk-in. My son requested a bald fade which gave him. He left his side burns, beard, and mustache stating his next appointment was waiting. Word to the wise don't accept a walk-in if there is a slight chance you can't service him the way you should or if you can't complete the job before your next appointment arrives. He paid you $20 for the haircut and had to pay another barber to cut/trim his mustache, side burns, and beard. Shame on you and I will put you on blast every time I think about it. Do Not patronize Kingdom Cuts in Auburn Hills, Michigan. read more

Visited the shop today with my dad who has dementia and was very calmed and extremely happy with Darnell! He was the true gentleman in how he took care of my 86 year old father. He was made comfortable, as was I, and wow, did he make the old man look good. Thanks Darnell, helluva impression! read more

Today was my first time getting a haircut here and it won't be my last. Highly recommend this place and definitely recommend Trayvon

I've been a client of Kingdom cuts since the very beginning. I've found the barbers to be professional, attentive and skilled. It's comforting to be able to have a barbershop in the area with such a high level of customer service and attention to detail. I'll continue to give this shop my business and encourage others to do the same. read more

DON'T GO HERE! I walked into the Barbershop "Kingdom Cuts" and it was very new and nice. I decided to go here because my normal barber was off today, and it's 5 minutes from my house. To my surprise there was only one Barber in the place, so I pleasantly sat down, was acknowledged, and I waited for my turn. After awhile I thought it was very weird because person after person walked in and got their haircut before me. Obviously the Barber picked up that I was getting impatient, because he walked up to me and said I'm sorry these people had an appointment before you but I'll get to you. That actually, allowed me to be more patient so I waited an additional two hours. To my surprise he didn't acknowledge me again. To add insult to injury a second Barber walked in and cut someone else's hair before me too. By then I was done, I tried to keep composure walked out and said maybe I'll get a haircut with you next time, he smiled and said ok. I followed up with a phone call to express my disdain because I didn't want to cause a scene in the shop. I guess nowadays the customer is always wrong, I expressed to him how ignored he made me feel and how he did not treat me like a new client instead he showed poor customer service. He proceeded to argue with me, he told me that he warned me it would be a wait and that I was foolish to wait that long without an appointment. I probably won't try them again unless they change management or develop a more professional outlook on client service. Maybe they should place a sign somewhere saying they only work by appointments. But the head barber/owner didn't want my feedback, so for the first time ever I decided I'd write a review. read more
