I have always had problems trying to find a decent barber throughout my life. I had reached the end of my rope and I was fed up with the "Great Clips" haircuts and all of the other haircut chains. I was seeking a "real" barber shop that knew what it took to cut a man's hair. I contacted the Kraken Barber Shop by text and Mr. D answered immediately. He set my appointment for the next day. I was very impressed from the start. Mr. D was very nice and hospitable in every way. I shared exactly how I wanted my hair cut and then we proceeded to have a great conversation. This was my first haircut by Mr. D and it was the most perfect haircut I have ever had in my life. Wow. I went home that day and checked it out and fell in love with my hair again. Thank you so much for restoring my faith in a true barber. I am a customer for life. You're the best. read more

5 stars if they let you I'd add more. I was nervous about going to a barber for a straight shave and hair cut since I'd never been , my girlfriend surprised me with one for Valentines day and it was Amazing from the second I got there to the moment I walked out I felt comfortable with the Barber D very friendly and explains everything he is doing , and what it's doing for you . And the shop itself was awesome it's a one on one environment just you and your barber so you can focus on what you want. Now to the Shave it as well was phenomenal I haven't felt that relaxed and in awhile . It's safe to say I walked out a new man and I'll be going back and referring anyone I can . Thanks D " Dang babe you look hot " my girlfriends exact words when she saw the new me. read more

D Sandoval is a great barber. I had a bad haircut a month ago, so that same day I went on Yelp, and found the kraken barber shop. As I was reading the reviews I read a lot about Jake, and D all of them were great. I came in with my hair grown out, still screwed up from my previous haircut. I asked for a gentlemen's cut, and I got what I asked for and more. He fixed my hair, took his time on the sides, and insured me that it will look better as I grow it out. As I'm looking at the end cut I'm just surprised, everything has a nice shape to it. D Sandoval is lit. 10/10, best barber I've ever had. read more

Dani has cut my hair twice now and I love it! I have a specific haircut and have gone through at least 15 different places for them to get it done. They always pretty much just shave my head and send me on my way and I don't like it. Dani really focuses on what she is doing and texturizes my hair with precision and thoughtfulness. She asks and make sure you're happy with it as she goes through and especially at the end. She seems to have a very unique way of doing things although it seems like she can do pretty much anything. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a good barber! read more

"This is the place" is a well known quote throughout the state of utah and wasn't used lightly by those who founded this great state. I use this over dramatic metaphor because I found a place of great people (barber's), location, and most importantly GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. They have very talented barbers who continue to amaze me! I've been there a few times now and can safely say that once you go kraken, you will keep going back in!!! Shout out to my barber Chris Godoy for keeping me fresh week in and week out. Yal stop by and check them out!!! read more

I was passing through Salt Lake and realized that I wanted to find a barber shop as opposed to a typical $10 super/great/sports clips style cut. I looked them up on Yelp, saw that they had 5 stars, and walked in without an appointment. Because I didn't make an appointment, I did have to wait about 30-45 minutes, but I understand that they typically work through appointments. Once it was my turn, Chris was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I got the haircut I wanted and I felt good about it. 5 Stars! read more

I went to this shop out of convenience. First appearance was a little off. The shop itself is really simple and bare but I come for the haircut not the ambiance. I walked in and was greeted right away. They were not busy so I got in the seat right away. I came in for a shave and beard trim. He talked to me and suggested a haircut because the beard trim comes with that. Everything was better than expected. The haircut was great and my beard was spot on when I left. Really good attention to detail. read more

Professional outcome with beard trim and hair cut, just a chill ass dude makin me look good. Won't go anywhere else but here. read more

I've been here in Midvale for over a year now and have jumped around from barber to stylist to barber and I feel I finally found the place! D, the owner of the business, is friendly, professional and very accommodating. Freddy does a perfect job on my hair and really works with you to give you exactly what you want and pictured. The place has an awesome vibe and energy to it which provides for a great and comfortable experience from the minute you walk in. read more

I'm so extremely happy I found D, this was taking a step back to my childhood when my Father would take me to a real barber shop with real barbers who took the time and truly cared about their craft. D provided me what I wanted cut wise but even made some minor changes but explained why he was doing so and I wound up with one of the best haircuts I have had in years. Go with confidence! Cool dude, great cut, good atmosphere. read more

I've never been more impressed with a barber shop! D has a bad ass little spot and his barbers are all good and experienced with everything! Freddy kills the game though! I walked in 1 month ago and have been back twice already cause I've never had a barber shop do what I wat besides freddy! I highly recommend swinging into Kraken you won't be disappointed!! read more

D gave me a great cut! He accidentally got double booked, and I was after those 2 books and I was the last customer for the night, yet he didn't rush to get out. He took his time even though it was closed and everybody was gone and I appreciated that. I got a fade and a taper and I'm stoked with it! He's also a nice, sociable guy. Will be returning. read more

Best Haircut and Beard Trim in the valley. I don't trust many with my beard, it's very precious to me. D is very talented and his reservation system makes it great for someone like me, I like to conduct all of my business online. I like getting reminders that my appointment is coming up. Go ahead and schedule an appointment today. read more

It was my first time going to a real barber, and D was awesome. He explained what he thought I should do for my hair, and then explained why. I liked having somebody cut my hair that knew more about hair than I do. Mostly because I don't know shit about hair. I will definitely be going back. read more
