I only go to Dan when i get my hair cuts. Dan is a very professional, kind, patient, experienced barber and by far my favorite barber here at Trolley Square Barbers. His hair cuts always have come out very clean and great looking especially since i have some of the most difficult hair which grows in all different directions.Go see Dan! You wont regret it!

The professionalism by Carlos and Fletcher was amazing! First time customer and my experience was above what I expected. I got a haircut and beard trim. After almost five months of doing my own hair management, I couldn’t take it any longer. The quality and professionalism was so worth the price. I am definitely going to be a regular and I am going to bring some friends in!

In 2018, I was looking for barbers, not satisfied with any. Then I got a haircut from Dan Petersen, and Ive been going back ever since! Its great to have a barber who knows what hes doing.

Ill start off by saying that I have never visited this place before, but I know they have great reviews. So now Ill get to the point... I received a gift card a year and a half ago and have yet to use it. Then Covid-19 hit, which made it even more undesirable to go and use! So, now its time to get a haircut and I thought that I would check them out. I jumped on their website to see if they were even open. Well they are, maybe I should check the balance on the card? Well, the numbers dont match? So I call them... I asked if their gift cards expire? Well guess what? They expire after 12 months! Some people cant even grow a beard long enough to have groomed in 12 months! So... Im just sharing information, because no where on their gift card does it say expires after 12 months! The employee on the phone was very nice, but never asked how much was on the card or never offered to help me out in anyway! There goes 60 bucks down the drain!

Carlos has been cutting my hair now since 2015 & I can honestly say I have never walked away not satisfied with a haircut. He takes his time, cuts it right, & most importantly LISTENS to what you want to do. Too many barbers have their own “style” they try to apply to haircuts whereas Carlos just listens to what you want & then cuts it that way. He’s nice, respectful, always asking about how I am doing & is never a bore to chat with. I’ve gotten fohawks, skin fades, medium fades, lineups, you name it & every time he nails it. Can’t recommend Carlos enough. Definitely worth the visit to see what he’s all about! Try to book in advance his schedule fills up too

Carlos gave me a great cut - he was efficient and fast and the cut got me lots of compliments among coworkers and friends.

Review №25

Wouldnt recommend. Got a fade that had visible lines so kind of defeats the purpose of a fade. The straight razor shave was horrible. The barber did not stretch out the skin so most of the hair just pulled. Missed a bunch of hair along the top lip and jawline towards the ears. 70 dollars when I get a better haircut at Cost Cutters and I shave myself with a straight razor so that goes without saying.

They take their time and don’t squeeze anyone in ever, even if it appears they have time, but they do a good job. The woman—Amy?— recommended a treatment for my son’s sensitive scalp issues that has helped him get rid of the red bumps. She is very knowledgeable. We waited a long time, but we were walking in from out of town.

Review №30

Execution of my haircut was poor. Looked nothing like the picture I showed him or the requests I made. Random long pieces. Not blended. Much shorter than what I asked for. Used thinning shears at the scalp. I went home and fixed the cut in a three-way mirror. It’ll take two to three months to grow it into the shape I wanted. Not a good experience. I will give the barbershop a second chance, but will choose a different barber this time.

I recently got my haircut at this barber Shop by Fletcher and it was the best haircut I’ve had in years. Saying this is the best haircut I’ve had means a lot because I grew up in the heart of NYC where haircuts are your personality. Thank you very much Fletcher! I hope to come in for another fade soon!

Poor, when I went in there was no one in lobby. Tried to get hair cut as a walk in around 3pm. Blond lady said no, shes about to close the shop.. they clearly say they close at 9pm. Only reason I went in at 3pm to make sure I had time. Online they had so much availability open.

Katie Boyle has been my go to barber for years! I am in my early 20’s and always get a bald fade and nice trim on top. Katie not only surprised me with how well she did the bald fade but I always find it so easy to talk to her and explain in detail what and how I want my hair done. To this day I’ve never been disappointed with her performance, I can tell she’s a true professional. Can’t go wrong with Katie! I feel bad because the first day I met her I judged her for being a women thinking that at a barbershop she wouldn’t know how to do this millennials hair... but WOW was I wrong. Dont make the same mistake and lose out on her making you look like a million bucks! GO TO KATIE!

I so much enjoyed my first visit here, they are very friendly and accommodating. Anyone that sits in on their chair is welcomed, and their great attention to detail is unmatched. I couldnt be happier that I leave looking & feeling fresh with my haircut. Highly recommended if you are looking for a good place to get a haircut!

Review №47

I decided to try Trolley Square Barbers for three reasons: 1. Its a locally owned business and Id rather have the money I spend stay in the community I live in rather than going to a corporation located who knows where, 2. it is a true old school barber shop that does everything including straight razor cuts if you want, 3. you can walk right in, sit down in less than a minute and get a cut without having an app or being asked for all of your personal info that chain salons demand when you come in. I cant stand having to give over my personal data so that a chain salon can track me and sell my data. Fletcher did a great job cutting my hair and I plan on returning for my next cut.

First trip recently to this barbershop and my experience was nothing but the best. the barber has nothing but professional. - he gave me the finest & most consistent service from any barber that I encountered. In my own opinion, the cost reflects the quality of service provided. very fair compared to other places. Happy with my new haircut and Ill return for sure.

I have been going to Carols since I started growing my beard (a while). He is the best, hands down. If you are looking for an great haircut and beard trim, Carols is your man. He takes time to understand what you are wanting and helps explain what will work best for you. He is a legit barber, you will not be unhappy with him.

Review №57

I wandered into this place before its official opening just to see what it was and loved the environment immediately. Im one of those people who believe the art and beauty of life has started to disappear from our culture. People dont dress up to go to the movies anymore, we dont talk to people anymore unless its through a screen, and we get our hair cut at the nearest Dollar Cuts or similar salon. Thats all well and good, but if youre looking to return to the classy state of the gentleman, this is the place to start.I especially recommend Rich, as he is one of the nicest down-to-earth guys youll ever meet. However, if hes not available, any of the guys there is a top-notch classy gentleman (or lady).At a regular salon, my haircuts have been hit or miss in the past. These guys have never given me a bad haircut and are more than happy to answer questions, address concerns, make recommendations about styles and/or products.Dont go here to get a haircut, you can do that anywhere. Go here to have an experience, to be treated like a gentleman and to feel like youre more than just another appointment in a long line of customers. These guys will treat you like a king for an hour. Youll always leave happier than you were going in.

Carlos does a great job with my boys hair. I like a traditional gentlemans cut on them and it’s always top notch! He’s on time and he can always get my youngest to relax and enjoy the experience.Being able to book appointments with Carlos online makes my life easier, I can’t complain about that!The original style of the barbershop is great too, it is always clean and everyone is polite.I highly recommend!

The shop is a nice and clean. The staff are hella cool, just real laid back. Carlos can really up it up with a good cut and line up. Chad also gives good cuts. I’m a fan of the old school barber feel with shoe shining and hot shaves. It’s not your super cuts pricing, but you get what you pay for, quality cut and great atmosphere.

Review №67

The service here is second to none. Its nice to get a hot towel, hot cream and quality product. I am picky when it comes to allowing someone to trim my beard. I have been coming to Fletcher and he takes great care of me. I usually have him shave my head with a straight razor and clean my beard up. Hes worth every penny. I was really surprised with how clean the shave job comes out. Most barbers miss a few hairs or knick the skin but not Fletcher. He takes his time and I walk out looking pretty sharp for an Irish guy. If youre reading this review, give him a try. This must be the mens equivalent to a spa treatment.

Rich at Trolley Square Barbers is hands down the best barber Ive ever had. Its so nice to have a barber that understands how men wear their hair in the real world, and can really look at you and determine what you want. Not only that but to actually listen to your requests. Great conversation, great ambiance, and really good people. I hear they give a killer shoe shine as well. Their pricing is also competitive with other local barbers.

I came into the shop to have my shoes shined by Adrian. The haircut was a last-minute decision, and Kevin had an opening before he went home for the day. Best haircut I have ever gotten! Kevin’s a great guy, and the whole staff seems to be genuinely awesome. So pleased with the service, and the atmosphere is old-school and modern at the same time. I live in NJ, and now I have to try and figure how to plan SLC business trips every 4-6 weeks! Excellent job, great staff, great atmosphere. Go in, get a haircut, and definitely get a shoe shine.

Best barbershop in the city. I’ve been going to Carlos Arteaga for cuts for years and hands down is the best barber I’ve come across. Scheduling appointments online is fast and easy.

I want to say how amazing Dan was! He was very upbeat and very professional. My husband walked out with an amazing cut and beard shape. Thank you thank you Dan P. But man.. when there are customers in your shop might wanna not talk about what sexual activities youve been invited to... The face on the guy that was being cut was even uncomfortable. That is the reason for the missing star. Do your guy talk, but keep the professionalism there too guys. Not impressed at all with that aspect. But will continue to come to Dan in the future with husband and sons!

Review №77

Today my husband and son came here for the first time, and we never want to go anywhere else again. This is the absolute best barbershop in the Salt Lake Valley. The experience was flawless: we made appointments, and their barbers were ready for them as soon as we arrived. The place has a very classic, high-end feel. The haircuts were perfect, and the conversation during the haircut was great - comfortable, easy, and engaging. This place was recommended to us by someone who drives two hours to come here, and it is definitely worth the drive. The price is $20 for a kids cut and $25 for a mens cut, but it is worth SO much more. We will be coming here from now on.

Review №78

First trip to the barber here and will be my last. They dont know and understand modern hair styles and how to cut semi longer hair. Granted the barber had only been cutting hair for a year, but should be no exception. I wanted to have my hair cleaned up in the back and he kept saying he needed to level it. Later when I got home I realized he shaved half of the back of my head its so uneven and terrible looking. Unless its combed over perfectly, and even then, it sticks out like a sore thumb because the rest of my hair is 6 long on top. Secondly, I left the place with hair all over my face and ears. It looks terrible and had to go to the bathroom after to clean up because he didnt do any of that there.

Review №79

So I scheduled an appt for 11:30 am today, and as Im getting ready to leave the house our son has a freak accident getting off our trampoline. I figure I can drop off my wife and son at the Salt Lake Instacare on 9th East and still be relatively close to the barbershop although at this point I doubt Im going to arrive on time. Obviously the thought occurred that I should give them a call, but thats not always what happens when youre dealing with a screaming and bleeding 8 year old. So I pull up and run in 8 minutes late. I fully understand that Carlos is a master of his craft and the haircut most likely isnt happening, but I figure maybe they can fit me in later today or tomorrow. What I didnt expect is that I was going to be completely cold shouldered when I got there. Apparently theyve been trained to assume that if someone arrives late, theyve done it just to spite their existence. Literally I was a ghost to these people for nearly 10 minutes like they had taken it personally. Ive been coming here for over a year and was starting to feel like something of a regular, Ive gotten cuts from a little over half the barbers here, Ive recommended countless family and friends to get their hair cut here. Jason was literally five feet in front of me cutting someones hair and didt even acknowledge my presence, not a nod, no eye contact, not a simple hi. Chad was in the back corner and didnt say a thing, and another women Im unfamiliar with was also near the back cleaning up but wouldnt acknowledge my presence either. So I stood there twiddling my thumbs for nearly ten minutes when the woman finally came over to tell me what I already knew. I thought times were tough for barbershops during these times, but apparently these guys have it figured out to the point where even regulars are treated like strangers. But who knows, maybe Im setting the bar too high to expect that I be greeted or acknowledged where I choose to spend my money.

Ive been with these guys from the very beginning and have always done an excellent job. They are up on the latest trends and always have the freshest looks. Yes you may pay a little more for the haircut but what guy doesnt like the feeling of a hot neck shave, a shoulder and neck massage, using the old school methods of the hair cut and enjoying a good conversation like the good ole days? I recommend anyone that asks me where to get a hair cut to these guys hands down. Also there is a shoe shinning booth!!! The last place i remembered to get a shoe shine was at the airport... this is way closer! Keep up the excellent work guys!

A friend recommended Carlos after I had a terrible time getting a good haircut for my 2 boys. For whatever reason, the stylists at those kid-friendly places just couldnt figure out their hair. Carlos listens patiently as my 6 year old explains which kind of spiky hair he wants each time, and he gives my 5 year old an easy to manage cut that looks great without much manipulation on my part. The shop has a nice atmosphere, its a great find.
