In 1969, Carl Grondin and Paul Grondin opened their first barbershop in a grain elevator in Dryden, Michigan. Since then, the family has grown the business to nearly 50 salons across Michigan and a College of Cosmetology.

The timeline that follows describes our company's memorable occasions from each of the decades that Grondin's has been serving Michigan. The Grondin family has experienced an incredible journey with our business, our communities, our neighbors, our employees, and our friends.

We sincerely thank you and look forward to serving you for many years to come.
