I used to live a block away and found this place when it first opened nearly 15 years ago. Since moving down south, I still make the trip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Booking, canceling, and changing appointments are so easy--all online.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The barbers/stylists are quite the mix. Some are permanent fixtures, while others come and go like any business. I recently found a new barber here, HENRY. He is phenomenal. Although I am nearly bald, I get a h/c about every 2 weeks, and I don't mind paying full price, given Henry's superb attention to detail. He makes me feel like I've had a spa day makeover! While other guys just buzzed my head and used a trimmer on the back (stylists can't use a straight razor, I've learned), Henry is an experienced, pro barber. He attends to the littlest of hairs, examining every angle of my head. He attends to my ears, brow, skin (always moisturizes my scalp), and uses a razor to make the neckline stellar. He wraps it up with a light aftershave thing that leaves me feeling refreshed! It's the details that set apart a good haircut from a truly exceptional one. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus, did I mention what a great guy he is? Having lived abroad, being from the Midwest, and being college-educated, he's a joy to talk to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Suggestions: The place could use a makeover. The once "cool" graphic (kind of wallpaper) flooding the wall is dated, and the bathroom needs a remodel. Nonetheless, JBG remains my go-to. Check it out! read more

Why I Stick With Mark at Jimmy's? Jimmy's Barber Garage in Midtown has been my go-to spot for haircuts since I first moved to Sacramento. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My guy is Mark, and honestly, he's the reason I keep coming back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wandered off to try another place for a while, but ended up returning here for a good reason--he just gets it. The vibe is casual, the price is right, and the service is solid. Mark is especially great for guys like me with thinning hair--he knows how to work with it, makes you feel comfortable, and always leaves me walking out more confident than I walked in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Now, the reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5: the booking system. They only open up appointments 3 days ahead. For someone who likes to plan in advance (or suddenly needs a quick cleanup before an event), it can be tricky--especially since I only want to book with Mark.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sure, if you don't mind who cuts your hair, you can usually get in quick because there are multiple barbers available. But for me, it's Mark or nothing. One cool touch: they'll offer you a beer if you ask. The place itself looks like an auto garage, but don't be fooled--the service is way sharper than the décor suggests. If you're looking for a solid cut, especially if you want someone who knows how to handle thinning hair, ask for Mark. Closing Note: Midtown has plenty of barbershops, but Jimmy's (and especially Mark) makes it worth the return trip every time. #HaircutDoneRight #Jimmy'sGarage read more

Jimmy's Barber Garage - Outside - Hair Salons Near Me - Sacramento, California

My bf needed a haircut, walk-ins were welcome. Understandable wait at the height of lunch time Saturday. Allowed us time to get a beer down the street at Biergarten and soak up the summer sun. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Taylor was awesome, front of house staff were awesome, everyone so friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The salon is cool as hell. Gave us a complimentary beer on tap there as well! Good conversation, top notch haircut. Bf is now even hotter than before. 10/10 would recommend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly folks and always a quick cut.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's affordable, with a quirky-cool atmosphere, and the shop is usually buzzing. read more

They did a great job with the cut and color. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The process was fun and it turned out great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've been going here off and on since 2023, and more consistently for the last year or so. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been letting the reservation system pick the barber so I've gotten my haircut by most of them. So let me start with most of them, they're all great. They're all nice, they all make you feel comfortable, the host is also always super chill and inviting upon walking in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I don't have a negative complaint about this place. They're also cool with dogs so that's also a bonus point. But I gotta get more specific. Nicky and Ryan are my absolute favorites. When I set an appointment now, it's gotta be one of them for me. They're both really good at hearing what you want, and delivering. Just got my cut today by Ryan and when I got home, I gave it the more detailed look over and that man knows how to do a fade. I appreciate this barber shop and I appreciate the healthy work environment they've created. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Called last minute as I was in the area and have an undercut that needed to be cleaned up 6 weeks ago lol![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Gave these folks a call and they were quick to get my in![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The barber was great and I was only there for about 10-15minutes. Nice fade to a 2, and boxed shape. I forgot what the pricing was but it was very much reasonable. I will return and would recommend read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Scheduled an appointment for 10am - they opened at 9. Showed up and the whole place was locked up, nobody inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Another patron was also waiting, also with an appointment scheduled for 10am.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]After about 15 minutes someone drove by and said they were getting the key to open up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The story we were told was that there was an issue with the Internet so the owner told all the stylists to stay home, but didn't tell the patrons.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thankfully Tracy (who is an independent renter, not an employee stylist) was kind enough to fit me in to get a cut.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Several other people showed up for appointments while I was in the chair, all of whom were informed there were no stylists there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tracy was wonderful and did a great job, hence the two stars instead of one. In the future I'll give her my business instead of scheduling with the employee stylists. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very disappointed in ownership for dropping the ball this badly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]UPDATE: The owner responded with the reply below. My thoughts: I scheduled my appointment Saturday night for Sunday morning. If it was a known problem on Saturday then new bookings should not have been made available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Additionally, if this were the case and I was simply "missed" there shouldn't have been so many other people showing up for appointments as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Finally, Tracey was not aware of the snafu when she came in, she was just willing to help.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This suggests that the owner only asked renters to help after the issue continued to snowball on Sunday, not in advance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A very tepid explanation and an altogether unsatisfying one. The appropriate thing to do here is to accept responsibility for the mistake, not try to explain it away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Wow! This is my second time at Jimmy's Barber Shop, and they never disappoint! The first time was when I got a pixie cut, and they did an amazing job. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This time, I went for another haircut with Chyanna. I showed her a photo of the style I wanted, and she carefully observed it before explaining what kind of hair it was.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She then asked if it was okay to trim an inch to achieve the right shape, which I really appreciated--it was so kind of her to be so attentive to the style I requested.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She then used all of her amazing skills to create the cutest and most beautiful short hairstyle I had imagined. Thank you so much, Chyanna! I will definitely be coming back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]After a miscommunication that caused a no-show by my originally booked stylist I still had an amazing experience after a short wait at Jimmy's Barber Garage.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The environment is clean and friendly, and on a beautiful day like today they opened up the big shop doors to let some fresh air in. I needed a medium haircut and Tracy helped me out and did a wonderful job listening to my style and sensory needs, the entire experience was relaxing and supportive, AND I got an amazing haircut! She showed me some different products for my hair and was very attentive to making sure I walked out looking great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I booked another appointment before I left, and I am honestly already excited for it[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved this place! It was exactly what I needed and everyone was awesome here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And they did an excellent job

We had a really good experience at Jimmys Barber garage. My 5 year old needed a haircut and we were in the area and decided to stop by . We had no appointment but we were able to get squeezed in as long as we waited for 1 hour . Henry was the barber who cut my son's hair . Not only did he do a really good job but he's good with kids too . My son was having a full on conversation with him. Henry did an awesome job overall ! I would definitely recommend . read more

Wow, Im extremely disappointed with the service I received from Mark today. I can safely say this is the worst hair cut I've ever received and the worst I've ever looked. I came out looking worse than I did before I came in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Brought 5 reference pictures but Mark did the hairstyle he felt like doing without listening to what I told him or following the reference pictures.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My hair is way too short, it's uneven, and looks completely different from the reference pictures I brought which were exactly what I wanted. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Extremely bad listening skills and I literally look uglier than I did before which defeats the purpose of getting a hair cut.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Square flat sides with a bunch of hair on side, I look extremely ugly after this cut Don't go here, and if you do, don't choose Mark. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Completely disregarded my requests and pictures.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I love this place. It's great. Love the people and vibe. I always leave with a smile on my face.

Jacob is the GOAT of beard care. A lot of barbers can clean a beard but not a lot of barbers can do a beard justice. I went in last night to get a buzz cut & a beard shape and was booked with Jacob. He thoroughly asked how I wanted my hair and he listened and assured me about the techniques. When it came to my beard he took mentioned how he was going to blend from the buzz to the beard and it came out so fresh. I appreciate a barber that can efficiently do beard care and even clean up under the beard and neck properly. Ya'll better hit up Jacob for that beard game. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cool place to get a haircut![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's hard to find a good barber to do a good fade on a female but make it cool too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus free beer is a nice touch![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Poor customer service... do not recommend, whether solo or with family for cuts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Train your staff!

I absolutely love this place. The vibe and music are great, the front desk offers beer and is super friendly. This past weekend I got the best haircut I've had from Adam. His attention to detail is unmatched, in my opinion. The blending and texturing are perfect. He also turned me on to texture powder...game changer. Moreover, his personality is friendly and funny. Added bonus: my wife loved my hair when I got home. Definitely do recommend. If my son agrees to getting a cut, he's my guy. read more

Walked in and immediately greeted by my favorite thing; a cute little dog! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone was so kind and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Mark, did my hair and was very attentive and patient with my request. He was kind and thorough with his technique and skills; including me in the process throughout. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a wonderful experience as it has been years since I've gone in to get my hair cut professionally.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I recommend anyone feeling hesitation to just try it out as you will be so happy you did. Thank you so much Mark, you made my day! & your dog too! read more

I got a really botched haircut from a different place awhile back and have always kept it one length since then. Just kept it simple so it doesn't get screwed up again. First few times I came here to Jimmy's barber garage, I had Mark do just that, no layers, just a trim to cut off the dead ends. This time though, third time having Mark cut my hair, I asked him to do some layers and try out some bangs. Hands down my favorite haircut! He went slow and did exactly what I wanted. I'm glad I found this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone is always super nice and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely won't go anywhere else. read more

Adam is my hero! Adam came to the rescue when another barbershop in town (not saying the name) totally messed up my haircut. I called Jimmy's Barber Garage asap and Adam was able to take me in last minute to fix the mess the other barbershop in town did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Had a super important meeting the next day so if it wasn't for Adam I don't know what I would have done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you so much Adam for the 100th time! read more

Asked for haircut to not be too short as I work in an office Ryan went ahead and started shaving off hair Couldn't see without my glasses but asked again in the middle of my haircut that it not be too short In the end my hair was cut and I was charged as a shot cut . Not sure how this ended up but I hope I'm not written up Monday morning for having an unprofessional appearance read more

Tracy cut my toddlers hair and she did a great job! Her friendliness and patience made it a pleasant visit since sometimes cutting a toddlers hair can be stressful. Her calm energy was much appreciated! read more

I've been going to some cheap $12 haircut salon and decided to find a good babershop. Thought paying the extra $$$ would get me a better cut. I was wrong! Called to make an appointment and ask for the best barber that specializes in combover cut. Was told Mark will be the guy. Got there, confirmed again, and was told, "Mark, this is why i scheduled you with him. He is the to go guy for combover." Got the ugliest fade ever! You can see the faded line. Cut looks like it was halfway done. Wasted $40. read more

The ambiance and comforting feeling you get when you walk in is unmatched ! This place is really a unique experience where the vibe the music and most important THE PEOPLE, make you feel welcomed! Never have had a bad experience there everyone is genuinely nice. Now let me tell you about my girl Alexa... she will line you up and take her time to make sure you are freaking PERFECT for whatever your occasion! Been going to her for over a year now and I have stopped by with her for Weddings, Graduations, trips to Europe! Absolutely the freshest haircuts in Sac. And even when you're on a time crunch (like I have been many times) she STILL manages to leave you exactly how you wanted and tbh sometimes BETTER than what I poorly described! 10/10 would recommend for anyone.. just don't take my timeslot, usually thursdays at 4. read more

Super frustrating! Scheduled an appointment for 5:30 pm at around noon. Received confirmation and then around 4:30 received a message that my 530pm was moved to to 6:30pm only to find out that my appointment was canceled after driving there. What's the point if scheduling online and calling to confirm if you don't honor the appointment. Total waste of my day and tome Might be a god haircut, but it doesn't watter if you can't get in as they promised. So incredibly disappointing. Argh! read more

I feel bad for giving this review, especially after having a conversation with the manager/ owner. But my first experience with my family after being referred by other friends an family was " HORRIFYING" shocking an disgusting! Let's start here, I called Friday early afternoon at 11 am to make an app for my 3 year old son to have his hair cut and have the line art done on him. I EVEN ASKED THE RECEPTIONIST MULTIPLE-TIMES!!! " DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANYONE THAT WORKS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN? My son is three? Do you even take young children? And can you do the needed hair cut I'd like to have done on my son? The receptionist said " OH YEAH" We take toddlers and have several stylists that work with young kids! And assured me that " NIKKI " was the best choice . So we get there, and " NIKKI " she was our stylist , she greets us and my son is a little nervous, he starts to cry an fuss a bit, she has the audacity to tell me " HEY LOOK, I'm sorry we have a no cry policy and my manager is over there somewhere and he will have you all leave if you can't get your son under control!! Mind you the manager was NOT EVEN IN THE BUILDING AT THE TIME" freaken HILARIOUS " ..... So I stupidly lost my temper and disciplined my baby and ignored his feeling like an asshat, for this horrid human being, my son is scared of her and her whole presence and vibe was not the business! and then she looks at me and says yeah, we are pretty expensive here an I don't feel comfortable working on your son cause he is nervous, I can't do the hair cut your asking me to do anyways? And I hate you to pay for something you don't like? And then recurred me to two other places that work on children?!! I'm already embarrassed- pissed off an ready to beat this chicks ass for insulting me let alone how she treated my child!!! NIKKI is not professional at all - rude - repulsive and just her a mature insulting nature is beyond words.Ike? If I couldn't pay for my damn app " mind you I have Luis Vitton on me an my husband and my kid? Lol how the heck you think I can't pay for my app??? I would be there if I could pay? Are you serious? That was absolutely embarrassing and rude!!! I spoke to the manager after an he did give me the opportunity to come back that next day and get a complimentary hair cut for my son with another stylist! But my husband is a silent killer an said he'll no!! We will not be doing business there an word of mouth travels fast!! So if you have kids, don't take them here!! If you get NIKKI. Laugh an ask to be with a different stylist, cause this chick ain't the one to be around kids at all!!! Sorry . read more

Trash , I had an appointment and showed up early and they checked me in after waiting 20 min. The person at front desk said they forgot to check me in and I have to leave and come back other time ? Why did I make an appointment for ? Doesn't make sense read more

I cried! I made an appointment last Sunday and was scheduled with Finn. I've never had a worse haircut(I'm a straight woman so I appreciate a more feminine "sexy look" if that makes sense). I showed him multiple pictures and the end result was nothing like what I asked for. As he was cutting it I could tell he wasn't creating anything like the look I requested so I kept trying to give him direction. Luckily it's short and I can start from scratch. My mom has had better experiences with other's barbers at Jimmy's but I apologize. The fade didn't line up on both sides at all. It was choppy on one side and clear/decent on the other. He attempted to make my bangs longer... and made them longer on the right side compared to the left! Finn is a no go! read more

I've been coming here for close to eight months and I always go to my boy Greg. Greg has always given me great haircuts and I have never had an issue whatsoever! Greg always gives the best haircuts. I needed a haircut quickly today on the weekend and unfortunately, my guy wasn't there and I decided to just go with whoever was available for me and today I had the pleasure of having my guy Rob. Rob had a great vibe and also killed my cut. It just goes to show how this place has an overall great team. What I suggest is finding photos of yourself that you like with the (haircut) then showing them it's what I've done multiple times and they always do a great job. read more

Anna gave me exactly what I asked for, really impressed. Highly recommend. Also handles Asian hair very well.

Great cuts and friendly staff. Highly recommend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Been going year for almost 2 years and never disappointed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

A traditional barber shop with plenty of chairs. I got a quick buzz and was out the door in 15 minutes.

Jacob has been cutting my hair since last August, and he's great! Never in my life have I been happy with how my hair looks until he started cutting it. Great place, friendly staff. -Scott Flack read more

I wanted to get my hair cleaned up while I was in Sacramento for a conference and luckily I was able to get an appointment here day of. I was amazed that they are open until 9:00p, which is unheard of for most shops. The shop has a cool look, being built in an old motorcycle garage. I was offered a complimentary beverage and then taken back to a seat quickly. Travis did a great job of asking questions about how I wanted my hair cut and made some suggestions as well. The cut came out great; I'm just bummed I don't live in the area, but will definitely be back the next time I am visiting. read more

HOLY CAULIFLOWER, do yourself a favor and get FINN to cut your hair. I got layers for the first time in a while and not only they took the time to do a wonderful job but also has the gentlest hands.
