Out of town for a wedding needed lettuce cut. Clipper cut baldie. Appreciate the very old school look, narrowish shop. Lots of dining advice, great advice, from the barber, I think Jason. read more

Real Barbers. Real Barber Shop with the atmosphere I'm looking for and fair enough price. Nick does a great job. read more

You may want to call to confirm appointments. Their online appointment system doesn't bother to check to see if the barber is actually working on the day of your appointment. Pretty crappy customer experience. On the bright side, I got to sit in the Barber Pole and listen to the morning news at a blaring volume. read more

I likes Nick personality; he is talkative ! ! He accepts my style Fade, buzz at Messy. ! ! ! He perfects my hair ! ! read more

Dustin is my man. I've been going to him for 3 years now and I can't believe how good of a cut I can get in 30 minutes. Every time I come out of that shop I feel like a million bucks. All the staff I know, Dustin, James, Travis and Nick are all very good at what they do. The owner is also a stand up guy. I always make an appointment but they do take walk-ins. I like that they are all local guys doing honest work and the owner is in Clawson and also a barber so he knows what good talent is. The price is also a GREAT value for what you get. Stop wasting time on bad haircuts where you want to wear a hat or let it grow out until it looks decent. Tell them what you'd like but let them do their craft. You don't go to a restaurant, order a steak and go back and tell the chef how to cook it. read more

I got my hair cuts here in the 1950's when I was a Kid. Astounded that The Barber Pole is still here !!! The Church pews are still there as well !!! I can see one in the pictures, WOW!!! read more

I came in for a haircut and a hot shave by Stephen. He was very friendly and kind. I was very pleased and impressed with my haircut and hot shave. read more

Where did Martin go?? Long time barber, anyways service is always kind and enjoyable!

Amazing barbers and even better people. I saw Pat as a regular for years and she was amazing! When she retired I was worried I wouldn't get the same quality haircut and customer service, but those worries were put to rest by Mitch very quickly. Mitch is friendly, fun loving and most importantly gives an amazing haircut. He listens to his clients wants and needs and executes perfectly. Highly recommend Mitch and everyone at The Barber Pole! read more

Friendly barbers as well as great customer service. They are good at a variety of different haircuts. You could choose any of the barbers and be satisfied with the haircut. read more

It says walking welcome but I was turned Down for service when I got there even though the place was empty. Best to call ahead and you guys should update your web site and yelp about that. It's not easy to find parking in Birmingham read more

This is a true Birmingham gem. A merge of modern that hasn't forgotten its roots. I commend this owner and the staff for continuing to provide excellent service and for coming back on board after COVID. "Hats off" (pun intended) to you for coming back strong. Love the new appointment service. Time is valuable for me and your barbers. The online appointment service is convenient and gets me in and out without making me or my barber feel rushed. Before when I showed up, I never knew how long the wait was, or which barber I was going to get (even though they're all great). Now, I'm in and out in a half-hour, unless I bring my grandson, then it's an hour well-spent! They not only cut my hair, but they cut the time I spend waiting to get my haircut - WIN-WIN! read more

My brothers used to get their haircuts done here A~20 years ago so I decided to take my extremely shy 2.5 yo son to get his first cut. Mitch did an amazing job, was so friendly and worked so well with a not so cooperative client. We will absolutely be back to book with Mitch. read more

I have gone to TBP for over 10 years and had Kerry (RIP), Stephen, Travis, Nick, and Dustin. I continue to go due to the consistent atmosphere and quality. Dustin and Nick are solid barbers with a straight razor and foil, giving the best bald fades in SE Michigan. I have strayed on occasion and regretted it every time, usually going back to TBP to fix my dome. There is no comparison. read more

First and foremost: Cash Only! However, there is a Chase ATM 1/2 a block away. The In and out is very quick. Come in, sit down, and wait to be called. These gentlemen do an excellent job! The hot lather on the neck is also a nice touch. I highly recommend it! 5 Stars read more

Have been going here for 60 years miss the old days when you could walk in read a magazine and get a hair cut! What happened!! Now an appointment is needed with a stylist! Miss this place when it was a barbershop! read more

Get Nick. He's awesome. Fast friendly and funny. And knows his way around a head of hair as well as a beard and a huge handlebar moustache! Reasonable too! read more

Favorite spot to get a fade, nick is the best barber, always consistent always takes the time to get my hair looking perfect.

The Barber Pole - Looking good thanks to Stephen at the Barber Pole. Great cut and shave. You want to look this good? You know what to do... - Barbers Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

I love a straight-razor shave. I've had it done at a couple of places in the Troy-Royal Oak-Birmingham-Clawson area. I have been most satisfied with the shaves that I got at The Barber Pole. At another place, I have had some other shaves where I felt that my face wasn't quite prepared as well as it could have been. One shave even left me a bit cut up. I've never had that problem at The Barber Pole. I feel like they know what they're doing at The Barber Pole, and I'm happy to recommend them. They give me a close, comfortable shave each time. I can't say anything about the haircuts, because I have never gotten one at The Barber Pole. read more

I have been here 3 times now and Travis is great at what he does. Each time I go in he recognizes me and what numbers he used on my last cut. He takes the time upfront to find out if I liked the last cut or how can he adjust it for this cut. Oh yeah, the straight razor shave on the back of the neck is a bonus. If your looking for old school style barbers, check this place out. It is usually full of conversations with a great mix of people. Their pre-shave oil is great as well. read more

When I found the Barber Pole, it was exactly what I was looking for: Walk-in, talented, up-to-date barbers and inexpensive. I used to go to a few other more well-known barbers, but couldn't stand that I had to make appointments 1-2 weeks in advance. With these guys, I just drop in at my convenience and am out the door usually in less that 45 minutes. I have been with 3 different barbers here. two of which where great, one which was just okay (and she had a bad attitude). They gave me exactly what I asked for, and did it well. Good job, you are what a barber shop should be. read more

Great place for a great haircut. The guys are friendly & do a great job. Definitely recommend this spot.

I've been looking for a barber near home (Royal Oak) for a while. I've been going to the same hair salon lady since I was 4 years old. It was time for a change when I asked for a bald fade and she didn't have much experience with clippers. I tried Barber Pole based on the reviews and I loved the experience. Walked in on Saturday around noon when other places were packed until 3:30 and I immediately got helped. All of the guys know exactly what you are talking about and are masters with clippers. The fade was no problem for them. Really love my haircut. For sure will be going back again. read more

The Barber Pole - Bald fade to a 2. 1/2 an inch taken off the top combed over to the side. Well done by Barber Pole! - Barbers Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

Grew up coming the TBP, swung in around 6pm in a Thursday and they had about 8 people waiting so I left and came back about an hour later. Only 2 barbers in and 3 people waiting, I waited 30 minutes and still 3 of us waiting for a hair cut. I'm sorry but you have 3 open barber chairs and only two barbers working. read more

Friendly neighborhood barber shop. All the people here are very nice. It feels like you are walking into your friends house when you open the door - always greeted promptly by several people. Great haircut every time. Cash only. Can't wait to try their specialty shave experience. read more

Came here while I was visiting this area and needed a haircut. Showed a picture of myself of how I look after a haircut and was one of the worst haircuts I have ever got. Went straight to the store to buy hats after my haircut. read more

Great New online reservation system. This is a great local Barber Shop with a friendly staff. My son and I have been customers for a few years but our first COVID visit was this week. The online reservation made it very easy to schedule a haircut and the Barbers were great as usual. read more

I didn't think I needed a pro. It's just shaving, right? No. It was amazing. I see why the ladies go so often. Feel so nice to be pampered, and I've never looked so good. read more

I have been going to see Pat at The Barber Pole for years! She is always a ray of sunshine and leaves me looking sharp! Highly recommended! read more

Nothing like a good old fashioned barber cut. I came in on a Monday because I needed my do did for a meeting and my regular hair stylist was not working. I actually prefer barber cuts to most hair "stylist" cuts. Why? I like the atmosphere, and the experience. A nice warm lather shaving cream and straight razor clean up on the back of the neck and above the ears? Yes please. They even had a puppy in there that day, which was very entertaining. $20 for a cut...she even trimmed my eyebrows. Free parking in the garage that is a block away. Can't beat it. I look human again. read more

After researching the web I decided to check out the Barber Pole for a beard trim. I can never get my lines straight or even when trying to trim at home. I walked in and was greeted by very friendly people and Travis offered to trim and line my beard up. 15 minutes later I looked like a new person and couldn't be happier! He gave me a coupon for $3.00 of my next visit and ill definitely be back soon! read more

When I called to ask a question, the girl on the phone was rude and abrasive - not in a hurry and quick, but NASTY. 55+ years ? So what. Good barbers are a dime-a-dozen in Detroit. This one won't get a penny from me. read more

I've been coming here for years. Now they are open at 7Am and until 7PM. The haircuts are basic as are the prices. You always get your neck shaved which is my favorite part of a haircut. Always a great value. This is a downtown Birmingham anchor and I think it's been here for over 40 years. read more

Should've listened to the review on Google...Worst haircut I've ever had. I had some blonde woman (Cindy or Linda, can't remember), she was extremely rough, very fast, and not precise at all. I thought she was going to cut my neck open with the straight razor by the way she was cutting my hair. Luckily, she left it long enough that I was able to go somewhere else and have it fixed. I will never go back! read more

The Barber Pole offers excellent haircuts with reasonable prices. Combining a relaxed and yet professional atmosphere with the well conversant barbers, the Barber Pole is the best place to get a great haircut. read more

I've tried many barber shops and salons in the area and this became the one I frequented. I have gotten my hair cut by most of the barbers here and consistently had good results. Sometimes one of the barber's dogs hangs out at the shop and she is very sweet. read more

I've been going to the pole for over 17 years. Best barbers in Bham and a great price.

Steve and Travis are the best! Seriously, there's no reason to go anywhere else. Service is excellent, laid back environment, and definitely best barber joint in Michigan read more

I have been getting my hair cut at The Barber Pole regularly since 2003. It is an authentic old fashioned barber shop with excellent customer service. Ask for Cyndi! She does a great job and is a wonderful person. Cyndi has been cutting my hair for over 13 years and never disappoints. If you're looking for a close high and tight cut, she won't disappoint. read more
