Stark Cuts

At the corner of Stark and Saginaw, Stark Cuts offers a barbershop experience that does not feel rushed. Sarah Schram opened the shop after nearly 15 years as a licensed stylist and more than a decade focused on men’s grooming. She says the name comes from her maiden name and describes the space as a blend of skilled work, conversation, and a relaxed atmosphere. Online booking lets clients choose a stylist and appointment time.

The service menu ranges from an express cut without a wash or style to a full-service cut with both, plus options for teens and children, a haircut-and-beard combo, beard shaping, eyebrow waxing, and an add-on with scalp massage and a hot towel. That variety works for clients who want a straightforward trim as well as those looking for a precise fade or a more complete grooming appointment. The team includes Sarah, Codi Pound, Mercedes Olney, Hailee Krauss, and Courtney Winn, each with her own background.

Customer comments displayed on the shop’s website often mention stylists who listen carefully and take time to talk with teens about the cut they want. Others describe a welcoming atmosphere and a visit that does not feel like an assembly line. That mix of personal attention and scheduled appointments comes through in the way Stark Cuts describes its relationship with Midland.

Stark Cuts serves men and also offers children’s and teen haircuts, making it an option for an individual visit or appointments for several family members. Before booking, choose a service based on whether you want a wash, styling, or beard work, then check each stylist’s availability. The shop is on the North Saginaw Road retail corridor, and the intersection that inspired its name gives visitors a useful local landmark.
