The Tradition Lives Here
Sir John's Barbershop and Salon is more than a place to get a haircut — it's a Detroit institution. Nestled in the heart of Morningside on Mack Ave, we've been serving generations of families with precision cuts, classic styles, and genuine hospitality.
Our barbers aren't just skilled — they're artists who take pride in every fade, every line-up, every beard trim. Whether you're after a classic pompadour, a clean bald fade, or a hot towel shave, we bring old-school craftsmanship and modern technique to every chair.
“If you're looking for a heightened level of professionalism with an old school feel...this business epitomizes that 'it' factor!”
