My husband went in with my son for the first time and had booked an appointment with Susan. He sat down to wait and Susan was cutting a younger man's hair and he said it's didn't look even and she replied with "idk what to tell you I've already made it shorter". Didn't exactly create a welcoming environment. My husband and I agreed to pass on the haircut for our son. Showed a lack of patience and customer service all the way around. read more

I was a loyal customer for many years. I will not step foot in that place ever again. What used to be a welcoming, happy salon has become a sweatshop, (literally) with unhappy stylists. Unhappy stylists means you suffer, not only their attitudes but their work is now subpar. Try sitting under a dryer in the summer with no AC. The shop is uncomfortable, cramped and unpleasant. I won't go there ever again. P.S. The shop kitty is gone. read more

Came in for a touch up and highlights on July 28th with Courtney Friermood. I asked for a refund on the touch up because it did not take. I am no longer located in the area for me to risk Courtney even touching my hair so im stuck with having fried hair and having to redo my hair because Miss Courtney does not want to be held accountable for her work! read more

Suzie has been cutting my hair since 1981, nuff said! And until recently I haven't been local for over 30 years. read more

I have been coming here a couple of years now. I even moved off the mountain and still come up to this particular salon only! I see Courtney and she is warm, inviting, and profressonal. Also amazing at hair color/highlights. The entire staff is very friendly as well. read more

I just got a haircut from Sean. He was incredibly personable and nice. Great conversation. His haircut came out layered and perfect.He was quick and efficient and the price was very reasonable. Would highly recommend this place to anyone whether a local or a traveler that needs a cut. Thanks! read more

Kersey is the BEST! She's wonderful and patient with my 4 year old little guy. His cut looks great too!

Courtesy gave me and my boys beautiful styles after not having a cut in a year. The salon is clean and pleasant and they have a shop kitty, which we loved. read more

Another fantastic haircut. Feel and look so much better. Incredibly grateful for Susie.

My family and I love the cut above. Susie did my hair for several years, cuts and highlights, and mom mom's as well. Kersey cuts my dad's hair and just gave my 2.5 yr old son an awesome new hairstyle. Kersey is extremely patient and great with kids. She has toys and goldfish to keep them entertained and cooperative. Thumbs way up! read more

See all

With the Covid 19 pandemic I had not had my hair cut in a beauty salon in 10 months. So 5 months ago, I took my hair in my own hands with the unfortunate assistance of my husband and tried to cut my own hair. YIKES!! Well, a week ago I called The Cut Above and Suzie transformed my hair to a professional hair style again. I am so grateful and pleased. Thank you Suzie!! We were outside on a patio with wood slats built for a semi-private and semi-wind protected area. We both wore masks. I washed and conditioned my hair before I got there. It is such a relief to have a professional hair cut again. YAY!! Charlott read more

Kersey has been my Hair artist for at least 5 years. I have always been very happy with her creativity. She is friendly and warm to everyone that walks through the door. Kersey gives HIGH end service and is very knowledgeable in her field. I have referred so many people to her I have lost count. The Cut Above is reasonably priced. Try it! You will appreciate what she has to offer you. read more

Cilla told me I was looking a bit shaggy, si I needed to get it fixed quick! I searched and decided to try The Cut Above. They did a wonderful job making my head appear from my hair. I can see my ears again! read more

I'll admit I get worried going to small town salons. I've lived in small towns most of my life and I've had some hack job hair cuts. I'm very pleased to have such a nice salon in town. Kersey is very experienced, I'm happy with my haircut and she's very knowledgeable on using fun vibrant colors. When I first started using bright hair colors I went to a larger fancy salon and they messed up. Kersey fixed their mistakes, did a fantastic job and I get tons of compliments. read more

I have to say my opinion is biased because i work here but it is an awesome shop and i'd love to see you there!

I had my hair highlighted by Susie last Saturday and I am so happy with the results! I have been going here for regular haircuts for myself and the kids for years(all the staff does a great job, I have been to everyone there!) but only recently had highlights done in my hair. She did a fantastic job, the blonde was just the right shade with my natural hair! read more

Great place that took me in last minute on a Saturday! Kersey is very friendly and a complete professional. Not sure what she did different, but this is my favourite haircut result. Thank you! read more

Kersey is great and friendly. Suzie however is catty and really rude. Major man bashing with a client in front of 2 men awkwardly waiting in the waiting area, well within ear shot. I felt bad for them. Also notice she was rude and short to some kids in the salon as well. read more

Took our 1.5 year old to get his first haircut. What?!?! He now looks like Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber - only worse! It looks like 3 different haircuts, but with no or bad transitions. Didn't want bangs... Bangs aren't even straight. Every time we look at it, we just say 'oh, it's so terrible!' Maybe they are good at adult haircuts. I don't know... read more

Got a great cute. COCO you rock chica. Thank you!

Just got the most beautiful haircut ever! Suzzie is delightful and really reasonable. I highly recommend her to everyone.

Kersey did an awesome haircut for me. I was thrilled with the close to my home proximity of this salon so in a pinch I took a chance on this place and was even more thrilled how fantastic a job she did ! For years I had to drive across the mountain to Cedar Glen for the highest quality haircut but from now on I wont go anywhere else but to Kersey at this salon. ;) read more

I have been going to Suzie at The Cut Above for years! I always look forward to getting my hair done! I would highly recommend checking them out! read more

Love Kersey.. she always does a great job. Great on my son's short high and tight and does my hair as well. Does exactly as she's told and makes it look great. read more

OH YES!! Love the feel of a fresh haircut. I've been getting my hair cut and highlighted by Susie for years. She's great at listening to what I want as far as color, length, style. Everyone who comes in while I'm there seems very happy with cuts from Kersey and the other stylist (Eric?) as well. read more

I've been going to The Cut Above for many years. Suzy's a great barber. I always walk out feeling sharp.

Got a haircut here today. I'm very pleased; my hair was long and I don't blow dry, flat iron, or curl my hair. Susan, my stylist gave me a fab cut and used only hair spray to keep bangs in place. Hair maintenance doesn't have to involve lots of time and products so I have no excuse not to be able to blow dry for a few minutes and use the hairspray. I purchased the White Sands liquid texture firm hold extreme hair spray which is high shine, humidity resistant (I live in Michigan and we do have high humidity in the summer) and zero flaking. I like that the spray is in a pump spray bottle not an aerosol spray. I wish I'd taken a before and after pic. Thanks Susan read more

Went in today to get my hair cut. Very pleased. Susie (the owner) cut my hair. She did a great job! I just wanted a trim and she didn't cut anymore than I told her too. She is very nice. read more

Got a great haircut from Paul for a great price.. I was pleasantly sursprised!! Will be back for a follow up!!

Suzie is always willing to squeeze me in and does an awesome job. Best haircut ever! Open 6 days a week and super convenient location. They do it all here, men, women, and kids! read more
