Can't believe I've been going here for 7 years but the experience is worth coming back for again…read moreand again. My haircut is always quality and just how I ask for it. Brandon is my barber but having watched thr others work over the years, I wouldn't hesitate to go to or recommend any of them. Always hospitable and good value for what you choose for your cut. I recommend the hot towel treatment, but you can get by with only a haircut if you don't have a need for a shave. Great atmosphere with TVs on the wall and a great selection of music always playing on the overhead speaker. Do be sure to go online and book in advance as they are appointment only and the process is simple and easy. Book early as most of the barbers can be booked several weeks out.

Very clean and well kept shop. Easy to find and was able to park close for being downtown. Quality…read morehaircut for my son. Matt was great and easy to talk to. Very professional. Was easy to make an appointment online and select a barber based on skills and the kind of cut you want. I was able to get in within a couple of days. Some like the owner are booked out. They do not do walk-in's just an fyi. Loved my son's cut. We will be going back.

West Des Moines Barbershop, located off Grand Ave. just west of Val Air Ballroom, is a small but…read moregreat place to get a haircut. Recommended to me, I decided to give this place a try due to its price and proximity to my home. It did not disappoint. Truc is my barber and she has always done a fantastic job. I get a simple taper cut but I'm positive she's great at other styles as well. To top it off, she ends each cut with a neck shave and hot towel. She has even gone above and beyond for me when I had a scheduling conflict. You'll need to schedule an appointment ahead of time for availability. And they do offer other services as well. Just check out the website for those details. Highly recommended!

Truc is wonderful! I tried several places in DM before heading over to West Des Moines Barbershop…read more Was not disappointed and have been going for over three years now. I like the attention to detail, no missed hairs, nice and tight for a fair price.

I don't let just anyone touch my beard let alone take scissors to but after another night of way…read moretoo much of this and even more of that, trimming my beard on my own was not the best idea in the world. Nova even said "I'm not touching it cause you'll blame me for what you screwed up" I guess I got a little aggressive on one side and now it was about as symmetrical as our current political parties. I'd heard of this place but I hadn't been to a barber since I was a kid in Carthage Missouri. This place is cool as shit. Retro decor, Tom Jones themed bathroom and they were playing Forrest Gump when I got there. That, and they have beer. I didn't get the dudes name who saved my beard but I'll throw one back in his honor. Great place. Cash only

Good guys and they gave my a good haircut. That's about all one could ask for - - Thanks guys!read more

I ran into my friend Ian the other day who has been a barber now for the past few years and he…read moreremembered how I told him I would come get my hair cut from him someday! Well I'm a man of my word, and even though I probably wasn't really due for a new hair doo I made my way to Universal Kutz to get my hair chopped! First off this place rules, there were 9 barbers in all, shaving, snipping, and cutting at the same time in the big rectangled room! Everything from Kid N Play flat tops, to shaved heads, to afro cuts, to whatever I was about to have! I gave Ian full reign on what ever he wanted to do to my head! He told me he would give me a great clean cut that will be perfect for the summer and will grow out better then the cuts I have been getting at home! I really loved the atmosphere in here, dudes chatting, watching ESPN, and a couple a little kids dancing round the room. It was a super fun environment! Now most of the time you need an appointment but Ian said he would fit me in when ever I came in, and he did! I got on the chair and was out of there in less then a half hour! He did a fantastic job and I even ran into a friend later that day and he said I looked, "Hip" that has not been a word some has chosen to describe me in a long time! I will definitely be back to Universal Kutz, hell I might come just to hang out!
