Butler's Executive Grooming Lounge is a high-end barber shop located in a former printing office at 2025 2nd Avenue North in downtown Birmingham. The business' launch was supported by a $325,000 low-interest loan from the City of Birmingham. The salon is owned by former Auburn football players Chris Butler and Karlos Dansby.

The interior remodeling was created by Hatcher Designs and executed by Brasfield & Gorrie.

The lounge is managed by Tim Dreaden and offers $38 hair cuts with complimentary shampoo, neck and back massage, and beverages. Other services include shoe shines, manicures, pedicures, "executive" facials, beard trimming, and head-shaving. Each of four styling stations has an individual flat-screen television. Jazz music is piped in.

In June 2012, Butler's opened a second location in a 1,700 square foot space at Saks Fifth Avenue at The Summit. Butler and Dansby hope to expand the salon to other Saks Fifth Avenue locations around the country.
