Cole Cutsss Barbershop is the closest dedicated barbershop north of Charlotte, MI. We get clients driving up from Charlotte every week — for fades, haircut + beard combos, and regular maintenance cuts. The drive is about 10 minutes up Cochran Road and Lansing Street into Potterville.
Where we are, from Charlotte
The Potterville shop sits at 121 S Hartel — just off M-100, the same road that connects Potterville to Charlotte and Lansing. From downtown Charlotte (near the Eaton County Courthouse), head north on Cochran Road, continue onto Lansing Street, and you are in Potterville in roughly 10 minutes. Parking is right out front of the shop.
If you are coming from west Charlotte or near Charlotte High School, M-50 connects to Lansing Street and the drive is about the same time. From the south side of Charlotte near Bennett Park, head north on Cochran and you are at the shop in under 15 minutes.
Why Charlotte clients come to Cole Cutsss
Three things, mostly:
1. We do fades and bald fades the way they are supposed to be done. Charlotte has chain options (Great Clips and Supercuts equivalents) and a small number of independents. What chain shops are built for is speed and volume — and that is the opposite of what makes a clean fade. A bald fade done in 12 minutes by someone who cuts 30 heads a day is not the same as a bald fade done in a 30-minute slot with proper blending. Clients who want that difference make the drive.
2. We name the barbers and take consultations seriously. You are booking with Cole or with Jacob — not “whoever is next.” That continuity matters if you keep a consistent style, want your barber to remember your preferences from last time, or want to actually talk through what you want before any clippers come on.
3. We are easy to get in and out of. The shop is on the main road in Potterville, parking is easy, and a 30-minute appointment is a 30-minute appointment. You are not waiting an hour for a chair. Drive up, get cut, drive home.

Booking from Charlotte
If you are driving up, book ahead so you are not waiting. Two ways to book:
- Cole takes appointments through Setmore — pick a specific time that fits your schedule
- Jacob accepts walk-ins during regular business hours, first-come, first-served
If you are on a tight schedule and driving up specifically for the appointment, book with Cole. If you are running errands in Potterville and a walk-in works for you, Jacob is your option.
Saturday morning (7:30 AM – 12:00 PM) is our busiest window. If you want a Saturday slot, especially before holidays or family events, book at least a week ahead.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How far is Cole Cutsss from Charlotte, MI?
About 8 miles north. From downtown Charlotte, take Cochran Road north to Lansing Street, then continue into Potterville. The shop is at 121 S Hartel — roughly a 10-minute drive door to door.
Why drive to Potterville instead of a barber in Charlotte?
Charlotte has chain options (Great Clips, etc.) and a few independents. Clients drive up to Cole Cutsss when they want a barber-quality cut with real consultation, skilled fade work, and time taken on the details. A bald fade or a precision haircut is the kind of thing where the difference between a $13 chain cut and a $23 barber cut shows immediately.
What services do you offer for Charlotte clients?
All five core services: standard haircut ($23), bald fade ($26), haircut + beard ($28), beard trim ($10), and kids/senior haircuts ($20). Everything is booked as a 30-minute appointment.
Do I need an appointment if I am driving up from Charlotte?
We recommend booking with Cole through Setmore so you do not make the drive only to find a long walk-in wait. If you are driving up with a flexible schedule, Jacob takes walk-ins during regular business hours — call ahead at (517) 881-4266 to check wait time.

Monday 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM, Wednesday 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Thursday–Friday 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM, Saturday 7:30 AM – 12:00 PM. Closed Tuesday and Sunday. Saturday mornings book up fast, especially before holidays.
