Bitter Ends

A little photo dump from earlier work on the new space; and holy crap, next week is the last week at our current location!

Our last day here is Saturday, August 29.

Then we’ll be closed August 30–September 9 while we handle inspections, finalisations, moving, and all the last details to get the new space ready.

And on Thursday, September 10… we open the doors. 🎉

📍 26150 John R Road, Suite A
Madison Heights, MI 48071

But before we pack up the clippers and close these doors for the last time, we want to see you.

If you’ve been putting off that haircut, beard service, or cleanup—now is the time to book it. Our remaining appointments before the move are limited, and once August 29 arrives, we’ll be taking that short break to make this transition happen.

👉 Reserve your appointment now before we close for the move.

And if you already have an appointment scheduled for September 10 or later, be sure to save the new address.

Thank you for sticking with us through every step. We cannot wait to open those doors and welcome you in.

Rough building inspection: PASSED. ✔️

And as if that wasn’t enough… the drywall showed up today at 6:30AM. 👀

After all the setbacks, delays, stress, and moments of wondering if we’d ever get there, we’re finally at the point where things are about to change FAST.

This isn’t just another inspection passed. It’s another reminder that every frustrating day was still moving us forward.

Now it’s about to get REAL.

ANOTHER ONE. 🤘

Electrical rough inspection: PASSED. ✔️

Another hurdle cleared. Another reminder that somehow, even when we feel like we’re at the end of our rope, we keep finding a way forward.

This build has tested us in ways we never expected.
And today, we got another win.

We’re getting there. 💈

It seems our system is down at the moment.

Rough plumbing inspection: APPROVED. ✔️

And maybe that doesn’t sound like a huge deal to everyone else—but to us, it is.

This buildout has taken us through some really hard moments. Setbacks. Delays. Money we didn’t plan to spend. Days where we wondered if we were ever going to catch a break.

There have been moments where we felt like we were coming close to rock bottom.
But somehow, every time we get there… something incredible happens. Today, it was this.

We’re tired. We’re frustrated. We’re emotional. But we’re still moving forward. Perseverance is key. Keep going, even when you’re not sure how.

One inspection. One obstacle. One victory at a time.

We’re not done yet; but damn, it’s getting just a little bit closer. 🤘
