Jed’s Barber Shop

I have been coming here for years and have loved their service. I have had my hair regularly cut by Whitney and Heidi, neither of which are there any longer. I would routinely make an appointment for a full beard trim in order to get a set time to have my hair cut and not have to wait like everyone else. While this service was more expensive and not always needed, I was more than willing to pay the extra price to get a set time. Today I walked in, which is the business model on which they pattern themselves, at 6:40 pm. The sign said that they were open from 9 AM to 7 PM. I was promptly told that the stylists were no longer cutting hair for the evening. There was one name listed on the waiting list as a patron waiting for a hair cut. In my experience, a business that is open for business, will take clients until the stated hours of operation have been reached. I was rather shocked and frustrated that they were not taking clients till the stated hours of operation. Why not then only be open until 6:30 or 6:40?
Management needs to understand what is going on with their business. To be turning away clients 20 minutes before the stated hours of operation save the business will be closing, is ludicrous. Also, the high rate of turnover makes it near possible to build a relationship with the stylist or barber that is cutting your hair.
It looks as though I will be looking for a new barbershop, much like my previous stylists have done.

Jed’s is the place to go if you want that best haircut ever, consistently every single time. The only downside is that there’s always a wait, but it is well worth it.
Cort is awesome! She’s very talented at barbering and she’s is by far the easiest stylist I have ever talked to. She’s not just a barber, she’s an artist. I highly recommend her if your new to Jed’s. I will be going to her for the foreseeable future. You’ll have to call Jed’s ahead to request her since she is highly requested.
The shop it self is awesome! It’s not like your typical shop with tacky magazines. It has these cool books showing old pictures of SLC and historical Utah, not to mention the free soda and the throwback Hanna-​Barbara cartoons on there TV.

Great atmosphere, decent prices, talented barbers who take the time to do it right… what more could you ask for? The only complaint I have is how hard the barbers push the hair products. Every time I go the wonderful haircut is ended with an awkward, forced attempt at getting me interested in the pomade/​gel/​whatever. I think mentioning the products you use is totally cool, and maybe, maybe recommending it. But not actually pushing the sale. There’s a big difference. Great place though!

I was in utah on business travel and needed a trim. The service was great and my hair cut was exactly what I requested. I will return when I am in town again.

I feel cooler when I leave.
No waiting if you go early.
Good tunes, good vibe, pretty awesome haircut.

Been coming here since it opened. Here’s a few observations Jed. HIGH TURNOVER! Relax its just a barber shop, treat your stylists better and stop the turnover.
At first you could walk in and get a cut relatively quick. NOW it’s at least an HOUR or more of waiting, waiting and more waiting. The line just piles up and there’s never enough stylists. The idea of a walk in barber shop DOESN’T WORK!!! Jesus man! If you have to wait more than 15 minutes then it’s not a walk in barber shop.
Businesses that FAIL TO CHANGE won’t survive! Wake up and smell the shampoo man… Everyone around me looks frustrated and fed up.
GET IT TOGETHER JED. We love the concept, we love your best stylists even if they don’t last. But check yourself before you wreck yourself!
With love — Long time patron about ready to say Peace out Jed’s…

We picked the downtown location, which doesn’t have the pinball/​billard table. But was great to get decent haircuts for whole family at an affordable price in a chill environment.

They claim they take walk ins. I came 30 minutes after they opened. There was zero people waiting and three people cutting hair. They told me a 1 hour wait. Either don’t take walk ins or hire more people. Waste of a 30 minute drive

My boys got their hair cut by Paulette and Cort. And it was worth the 45 min drive. It was busy and we had to wait about 30 min. Which was fine because they had drink refreshments and a music station to keep us entertained. Love the vibe in there. It’s an all Lady barber shop and they are all skilled and very friendly. They gave a handshake and personally thanked their customer. They even gave complimentary shoulder massages after each cut. It was my boys’ first time and so they received a free t-​shirt. So cool! Experience was awesome! Will be back!

I got a haircut from Cort. This is a very community based barber. The people are extremely friendly and not at all pretentious. Cort gave me a great haircut and also happens to be an insane film buff.

This place is the best! I’ve gone there straight for almost a year. I always go to Cort — she’s top notch! Never left her chair unhappy. The cuts are solid, and they have all sorts of beard treatments and shaping available. The beard oils are a big hit! Great atmosphere.
The only neg about the place is the wait. They say no reservations, but call ahead and they’ll out you in line (so they DO take reservations). The Walkens Welcome sign doesn’t mean anything — they might be full all night but they leave it out! That said, it’s worth the wait!

I went twice, and I won’t be going back. The first time took two hours, but at least I got my hair cut. The second time, not only did we wait an hour at the downtown location, we then were assured that the sugarhouse location would take us right away, and even called ahead so we wouldn’t have to wait another half hour. When we arrived at the sugarhouse location, they had put three people ahead of us, and the wait would be another half you. This is after an hour and a half already. They may cut hair well, but they need better customer service. All the sodas and warm towels mean nothing if the person behind the counter is useless.

My boyfriend was a lost soul before he found me. Then I introduced him to the only place any man should ever go for a haircut. I get to enjoy a soda while he is preened to perfection. He just looks like a man of wisdom and intelligence at Jed’s and I swoon over my «Samson» when we leave. The customer service is on point and the stylist are very skilled. Look out for Sequan though, she’ll sweet talk you and you’ll want another haircut just to stay longer. I watch my baby like a hawk and I know this place is clean and will take care of him. Thank Chewbacca that they opened a second location to help with wait times.

I took my toddler here for a haircut and we had a really good experience! He’s only 4, but he’s really serious about his hair and had a pretty specific request. The stylist (Lacy?) was friendly and engaging with my toddler. She did a great job with the cut and then gave me a tutorial on how to style it for him so we can get the same result at home. $ 15 (pre-​tip) for a skilled stylist and a complicated haircut is a bargain. We live about 40 minutes away from this location, but we are so happy with our experience that I will gladly make the trip whenever he needs a cut.
Other pros: they have fun cartoons playing which kept both me and my other kid entertained while we waited and you can call ahead to get your name on the list so our wait time once we arrived was less than 5 min.

I love Jed’s there always clean and despite the wait they’re always worth the cut. The price from is reasonable with a shampoo, neck shave, and cut. Plus they give you a soda and play 1980s cartoons constantly.

They only take walk-​ins, unless you are getting a beard waxing or something. Short wait time. I suggest drinking your complementary ginger or root beer after the cut instead of before.
They always do a great job on my do, despite vague instruction. I used to believe only a men could cut my hair before I started going here. The stylists tell me all the different products is should try for my neglected facial hair.
Lots of good smells. Good shampoo, hot towel and a back massage afterward.

$ 21 for a men’s haircut and $ 15 for a child’s haircut before tip. Fun staff that seems to cycle often but I’ve been pleased with my stylist each time. Call ahead to get on their waiting list 10 to 15 minutes before arrival because they can get busy. I only wish they offered online scheduling instead of just walk in service.

Hip. Expert. Experience.
I needed a haircut so badly and was ready for a change from Great Clips. Kelsey gave me a proper fade and chatted my ear off. Those were all positives if you couldn’t tell. I met the actual Jed, he’s chill. I feel good knowing he’s an actual person that cares enough to know how I heard of them. $ 21 for an above-​average-​very-​good haircut, soda/​water, neck a massage, shampoo, damp towel on face, Instagram picture wallpaper experience. I’d trust the other comments above and below. I’d also go again.

Jed’s Barbershop is the best place I’ve gotten my hair cut in SLC. When I moved here, I had the hardest time finding a place that specialized in men’s haircuts, was reasonably priced and could provide consistent quality.
At Jed’s you’ll find a laid back atmosphere and very friendly staff. They take customers as walk ins, or you can call ahead to get on the list become you come in. They will offer you something to drink, their homemade raspberry lemonade is the best, if they have it.
I’ve had my hair cut by four or five different barbers, and they’ve all been fantastic. The two who I always try to see are Tina or Chelsea, they’re talented and super nice. But it doesn’t matter who you work with, you’ll get a great cut.
Bottom line: quality hair cuts, an awesome price (that leaves you wanting to give a good tip), and a friendly unpretentious atmosphere.

I’ve been going here since it opened and it’s definitely one of the best barber shops around. I’ve never had a bad haircut and that is over the course of many stylists throughout the years.
I really enjoy the vintage soda that’s included in your haircut price while you are waiting.
There is occasionally a line so sometimes it helps to call ahead to see how busy it is.
Tina give’s the best straight razor shaves, Paulette gives awesome beard trims. Anthony is fantastic all around.
I’d say this place is a little spendier than your average barber shop, but I for one think it’s well worth it and highly recommend this place.
