I could talk of hair cuts and jokes, or all the people and stories related to my many years knowing " Mike the Barber", but the most important thing I can say is this; Mike was a kind, hard working man, who brought joy, humor, and brotherly love to all that had the pleasure to sit in his chair. We need more people like him. Rest in peace my friend.

Mike was my Grandpa's barber for a long time, and treated him with such kindness even after Grandpa started to fade a bit. I always looked forward the time we spent at Mike's. May he rest in peace.

Customer of Mikes for over 20 years. Thanks to Jason Beckham for taking me initially. I cherished waiting for a haircut. Some of the funniest moments in my life. I loved Mike. My heart breaks knowing I never said goodbye. Rest In Peace.

Mike was one of my father's best friends and stood up in my parent's wedding. My father always spoke very highly of Mike, who truly was a good man and who was loved by many. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Your family is in my prayers.

Mike the Barber started cutting my hair over 50 years ago. I believe it was Franks Barber Shop then, farther South on Telegraph. I could write a book on barber shop talk at Mikes. In later years, I would drive up to Mikes and if there were two or three cars in the parking lot, I would come back home as I didnt like to wait. My wife would say, That was fast. I would say, Too many cars in the parking lot and I would go back later. Then one day I drove up for a haircut and the shop was closed. I tried a couple of more times and then one day there was a sign on the door that Mike had retired due to health reasons. I have yet to find a barber that cuts my hair like Mike the Barber did. Thank you for all those years of service Mike. Jim and Carol Lowe

Was my barber for over 35 years. No one could cut hair like Mike. My three sons all had haircuts by Mike the Barber.

Most people wouldn't consider their Barber as part of their Family, but Mike was part of my life for over 43 years when I was just a 10 year old boy riding his bike to old shop.He cut my 3 brothers hair,my two sons hair & numerous cousins hair.My family always joked if we needed to find out what was going on in our family,we could ask Mike the Barber! Godspeed Mike & Thank you for your excellence to your Craft & keeping us looking good for all these years,you are truly a Dearborn Legend!!

Mike came down to my Dad's house to cut his hair when my Dad couldn't go to the barbershop anymore. Mike was a great barber and also a wonderful man and neighbor. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers to his family during this difficult time.

Mike started cutting my hair when I was a teenager
back in the summer of 1970. He gave my son's, Adam
and Josh their first haircuts. I stopped going to Mike about ten yr's ago because i was going bald. Josh continued going up until Mike closed. I have many of friends that went to Mike. Best Hair Cut in the City of Dearborn. I know you have been missed by all your customers. God Bless You and Your Family.
