I got a perfectly nice haircut and scalp treatment. The reason I am rating them low is the prices on their website are no longer accurate. The last time I got a senior haircut there, it was $5. Today it was $8. The scalp treatment was supposed to be $3.50. Today it was $8.00! They are not allowed to advertise one price and charge another. When I told the clerk those prices were not on their official website, she just grunted, "well, I'll tell somebody"! She said the prices changed two months ago. This type of operation is not acceptable. read more

The Barber School - Cosmetology Schools Near Me - Midvale, Utah

On haircut alone, I may be a little generous here. But take into consideration the big picture: you just spent five bucks on something that otherwise costs $15, $20, or a full Benny for the frou frou folk. Five bucks. Here's what you need to know. These are barbers that are cranking out haircuts to learn the trade. Some of them are quite new. Some are not. Think about your classes in high school. Some of your classmates were stellar students that studied and got straight A's. Some slept through class. When you show up at The Barber School, you've really got not way of knowing. Luckily they are supervised, but you just have to know up front that it could be the luck of the draw. Hence the fiver. My fella was about to graduate. He was a nice enough kid and I wish him well, but he was still a little timid. It took a good half hour to finish my haircut (last time I got it cut was a world record at under five minutes, but that was at a chain place in Las Vegas) and the quality of the cut is okay. Not my best ever, but not the worst. So was it worth the five bucks? You bet. And leave a tip, wouldya? These guys may be students, and the cheap price is really the star of the show, but they're still people. Throw down a few bills and you're still out for under $10. That's half of what I normally paid, and I'm a cheapskate. read more

The Barber School - Cosmetology Schools Near Me - Midvale, Utah

I have been going to this establishment for over ten years, and have even written a solid five star review in the past. Today however, was different. The last haircut I had there a few weeks ago was the last I would get from that Barber because he was graduating a couple of days later. Well done him. He recommended that for my next haircut I request Isah. I went Thursday, and he was just about to leave so I came back Friday at about 12:30pm or so. When I checked in with the girl at the counter ( she is always courteous and polite) Isah was there next to her. She recognized me from the day before and asked who it was I had requested previously, and I pointed at Isah. He explained that he was going to lunch and it was suggested to me to come back after lunch and I asked Isah what time, he states 2:30pm. No problem for me and I arrived back at 2:25pm. The check in girl told me that he was unavailable the rest of the day. I understand people are busy, but to be told to come back at a certain time and then told he was not available was rude, unprofessional, discourteous, and wasted my time. As I said earlier, I have written a five star rating previously, this time I am giving one star because I can't give a zero star. Obviously the barbershop needs to also include teaching its students professionalism and courtesy to its students. My time is as valuable as anyone else's. What's really unbelievable is this was a referral from a graduating student. Shame on them, and shame on Isah. ​ read more

This is a very uncultured atmosphere if you're African American I wouldn't recommend it, they do not teach how to cut out hair, you would think in 2023 they would, have a more variety to there curriculum, I feel sorry for the students, I blame the owner he probably doesn't have one black friend himself, besides his nanny smh, go at your own risk brothers and sisters. read more

Kalex was the man! Affordable haircuts, great quality instruction, and friendly people.

Danielle, is awesome to work with, would Highly recommend this school to learn or to get a hair cut or awesome shave. Orson read more

I've been going to the barber school for five years now and only had maybe three haircuts I didn't love! These barbers although students are very well trained and very interested in their profession, and their teachers are very hands-on helping them out making sure they're doing a great job! I get a high fade to bald each time and often get my beard trimmed and special hot towel treatment with a straight razor on the neck & cheek cleanup. Some will even do a great scalp treatment for an affordable price. Haircut $8, ($5 Senior 50's) Beard Trim $3! What a deal even when I leave a tip! read more

If I could give zero I would. We arrived and got skipped over 4 times. Don't tell me color does not play a role. If you are white you will probably get your hair cut. read more

Well, thumbs up! Great place, $5 & AMAZING, detailed haircut. Toni N. Cut my sons hair, he did MAGIC! OH, and that hair product smells wondeful. Thanks, and we will BE BACK! read more

The Barber School - Lil'Man transformation ! - Cosmetology Schools Near Me - Midvale, Utah

I would give 0 stars if I could. I feel bad for all the students who go there. No matter what you do, good student or bad, you'll end up owing thousands of dollars. Students owe $13,000+!!! What kind of school finesses students like that? Please save yourself time and money and find a different school. Don't f$ck yourself over. read more

Great service, I love going in and getting a haircut. My hair grows so fast so I'm in at least twice a month. Mike (from Hawaii) and Sean are both great and always leave my cut looking fresh. Would definitely recommend and can't beat the price for $5. read more

There is a young man name Mousam and he is an excellent barber and just an all-around good shaver too! He is super meticulous and thorough and that's just what you need to accomplish a wonderful and productive visit! He goes the extra mile and the whole place has good, quality people but Mousam (from my experience there) is professional and a 110% stand-out! Thank you; Michael read more

Went here for the cheap priced haircut since I usually just get a 2 1 with a fade. Was cut to my expectation.

I had my hair cut by Aubrisha today and was very satisfied. You can tell she's definitely still learning, but still very attentive to what I wanted and made sure it got done right. Can't deny the value, either! read more

I wish I could give my barber an individual review because Billy was great! But he told me all about the actual company and he says that its not even a school, its just a place where untrained people can cut other peoples hair for super cheap. Haha! Its a roll of the dice FOR SURE. I was just lucky enough to get Billy. read more

Was very happy with a great haircut and top notch service, and all for $5! I'm definitely coming back to get a shave!

5 dollars for a haircut...doesn't get better then that right..well it's like gambling you either hit and get a decent barber or you get to rookie that messes your hair up but at the end of the day hair grows back & You get what you pay for. If your trying to get a fresh cut try to find somewhere there that does a good job and just request them next time . read more

I've been coming to The Barber School since 2007. This place has gone down hill since Mr. Hite passed away. I drive all the way from North Salt Lake to be a customer here and help these students become professional barbers. Today I was turned away because there were no hot towels? Hot towels are not difficult to make or keep in stock. I'm very disappointed that this business wasted my time and I drove all the way to Midvale for nothing. I will be looking for a new barber that's for dang sure! Bye bye Barber School. Also, keep children away from here. The gangster students are allowed to curse and discuss anything they want to while talking to their homies. read more

Been going here for long time and with mixed results but mostly good. I mean it is a school not a professional barber business. But I would like to say that today I had the best experience I have ever had with my hair cut and beard trim from Jennifer. She was very polite and professional and funny and will definitely go back to see her or what ever business she goes to after school. I would and will recommend her to everyone!! She also did a absolutely phenomenal job!!!! read more

I have read the review after I have going there for many many years and unnumeral amount of hair cuts. Don't blame the STUDENTS for what happens, they are learning and by the way doing a good job. Some want to Blaine the staff and ex student that got piss off. The divergence between a good hair cut and a bad one? Two weeks. I have been to the overpriced places too, spending upwards of $30 and I get a better cut here and SAVE some money. Thanks Barbor school, your students are awesome. read more

I asked to do tapered, but the guy took out my whole side bun The. Stated saying that it was my fault read more

My experience today was terrible!!! First to start my terrible experience I was there for 3 hours getting a cut! When I was almost done with my cut the instructor (Rob) comes over and tell my barber to move out of the way and he takes over and lined me up which I didn't ask for! He brings my hair line over 30 feet, which I definitely didn't ask for!! So if you ever decide to waste your time and energy and go to this place make sure that Rob doesn't come anywhere near you while your there!! Good luck!! read more

Love this place. I have had over 20 students cut my hair. Every one has had respect, professionalism, and sincere interest in getting an A+ with me and the coach that will approve your cut. It is fun to help the student learn while having confidence that when you leave...your hair will look great. PS - You will pay so little that you will want to tip. read more

It's a school you go in allowing students to learn and perfect there craft it could be there thousand time doing a haircut or there very first time. Cut them some slack and appreciate it. I'm a Former student and know that good feedback and correct criticism is all we need. We need those who believe in us while we doubt ourselves. Great school legendary Tim Hite. read more

Don't bother going here for any schooling. They'll tell you one thing and charge you another. I learned more looking on the internet. Long story short...They'll nickel and dime you while being rude and arrogant. read more

What can you do for 5 bucks? Go on a Slurpee bender? pay for parking at the Gateway? How about get a full service Haircut? That's what I'm talking about! For about the price of 5 mp3s you can get a full service hair cut by fully supervised Barber students. These gents can make your favorite hair-style a reality. The pre-skilled scholars of barber arts can do cuts, shaves and scalp treatments. Well worth the 5er that you were otherwise gonna spend on cheese doodles. read more

My husband and I have been going here for over a year now. My husband gets a taper/fade and I will go in for a scalp treatment every few weeks. The prices are incredible - you have to remind yourselves that these people are students so mistakes will be made... I would definitely recommend this place. read more

This grade is for the education not for the haircut you'll get. Being a school it is hit and miss on what student you get. But if they mess up the instructors are great at fixing their mistakes. Milton and mr. Hite have more experience teaching the art of barbering than anyone you will ever meet. If you want to be a real deal barber go here with an open mind and willingness to learn. read more

This place saved my life. I am 36 now and I finally have an actual skill. A trade that people call on me daily to perform at a fair wage. I am no longer a tool that corporate America wields, I wield the tools now(shear, comb and razor) My trade is high in demand. Everything I know about barbering came from this school. It was not always easy to learn but going through this school prepared me to be a highly sought after barber. In just 6 months I was ready to cut hair in real barber shops. In less than one year I had replaced the amount I paid for the school in my bank account. In less than 3 years I was leasing my own place. I am providing for myself as well as contracting with other barbers who provide for themselves and their family's by income they make in my shop. That feels good and it was not possible without this barber school and it's instructors. I have since returned part time as an instructor myself. Life is what you make of it. With the help of the barber school I was able to make my life better. With effort and desire to cut hair and serve your clients you will find the same success as I have. Feel free to see for your self. I'm Dave. My shop is in South Jordan and it's called Dave's Barber Shop. read more

See all

I was very hesitant going here to begin with because they are students. I asked for a student with experience and got Chris. He listened to what I wanted and went the extra mile to give me a cut that I was proud of. Now this is the only shop I go to. It has only been a few months but never have been disappointed. Thank you for the great experience. I will change the review if my experience changes. read more

I love the barber school! I appreciate this school utilizing the community for better learning as well as providing the community with cost effective hair cuts/fades/shaves & now hair art too ... Thank you Barber School! These students are AMAZING! I honestly prefer barber school because they take their time and are passionate about every cut! Tonight I was impressed by 1 student named Fel, he greated my son&I introducing himself, my son had a challenging request that Fel confidently accepted and made happen. 1st time he had done it and it turned out GREAT!!! Thank you Fel for an amazing job well done... Somethin tells me you are going places! And You will be seeing us again! Fel- Professional Confident Positive Motivated Great w/kids read more

This is my new place to get a legitimate haircut!!! I loved it. From a qualitative standpoint it can't be beat, the person cut and sculpted my hair so well, I can't explain how happy I was. I have engagement pictures to take in less than a week and I'm very thankful. Just look for the barbers that take their time and ask for their experience if that's what your concern may be. I would recommend it to all my friends read more

Came in, had a great time. I really liked that there was such a little wait, like I wait no more than 5 minutes. Had a great haircut and will defiantly be returning. read more
