The Block Barbershop: Reviews
Fantastic experience: They did a really good job, I would recommend you come here. The tapers are really good too.
Negative experience: Got a haircut a couple days ago and it was bad. I showed a video of the haircut that I wanted to get and the results are nothing as what I showed them. Friends and coworkers could tell the haircut was bad and that’s too much to say. The only reason I’m not giving a 1 star review is because other people got good haircuts as I was waiting.
Fantastic experience: Carlos (downtown) has been the best barber for the past 2 years! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Been here twice now. Top notch. The barbers are highly skilled, just ask and they will work with you to get the style you want.
Fantastic experience: Made an appointment online for a mystery barber and was delighted to meet Sergio. We talked about what I wanted and he made sure to follow up during the session and make adjustments along the way. None of this remove the cape, spin you around, you're done, hope you like it bs. Sergio made sure I was .
Fantastic experience: Carlos is highly recommended - best in the valley
Fantastic experience: This is my second visit to this establishment, and I continue to be very impressed with the overall experience. The environment is consistently clean, modern, and well-maintained, and the barbers are both professional and welcoming. I would like to specifically recognize Carlos for his exceptional service. As someone who is very particular about my haircuts, I truly appreciate his attention to detail and consistency. He does an outstanding job every time. Additionally, the $35 price point offers excellent value for the quality of service provided. I look forward to returning and would highly recommend this establishment to others.
Fantastic experience: Bryan hooked it up. Great cut for a flow hairstyle
Fantastic experience: This is one of the best barbershops in SLC. Carlos is the man he's been cutting me weekly for over a year. I highly recommend booking an appointment with him!
Fantastic experience: Great barbershop in SLC. Carlos is the man. Good service, efficient, excellent at his work.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Carlos for over a year, he's one of the best barbers in SLC!
Negative experience: I’ve been here twice and have been more than disappointed. I came in today and the haircut was so bad I had to get it fixed at another barber. I would recommend cutting your own hair over the block barbers.
Fantastic experience: Great Price! The shop is always clean. I get my haircut done by Carlos and he does an awesome job!
Fantastic experience: Been going to Carlos for over a year. Solid barber, great attention to detail, and always a clean cut. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great experience and haircut. Carlos is ur guy
Fantastic experience: The Block Barber Shop is amazing! The vibe is great, and the service is always on point. Carlos is an excellent barber who really knows his craft—he understands exactly what needs to be done and delivers every time. Super professional, detail-oriented, and consistent. Highly recommend this place, especially if you’re booking with Carlos.
Fantastic experience: I always go to Carlos for a haircut and he’s great! He’s one of the best barbers I’ve known and go to him weekly and gives some of the best fades! Will keep coming back to him and can definitely recommend this barbershop. If you’re looking for a good barber, go to Carlos
Fantastic experience: Carlos did an amazing job! Highly recommend! Good price and excellent service!
Fantastic experience: Carlos is the best! So friendly and professional, and he always gives me exactly what I ask for. I’ve been coming here almost two years and wouldn’t consider going anywhere else for my haircuts.
Fantastic experience: Carlos did a great job and was super friendly
Fantastic experience: The best barbers and most affordable haircuts in downtown salt lake . They are all very experienced and very friendly. Would recommend stopping by and checking out any of the barbers available. All of them do amazing haircuts .
Fantastic experience: Carlos my barber did a great job , would recommend everyone here . Great environment and great people .
Fantastic experience: Carlos was wonderful. His attention to detail really stood out and I love the haircut he gave me. The shop is clean and modern.
Positive experience: Good experience with Zlatko. Unfortunately, he left a lot of cuts on the side of my head and forehead which are bothersome. Wish he’d be more careful next time.
Fantastic experience: Awesome barbershop with a cool and laid back vibe. My haircut was perfect, and I definitely will be back.
Fantastic experience: Great barbershop with some great barbers. I get my haircut by Z personally.
Fantastic experience: Gabe lines you up like he came straight out of a real hood barbershop—precise, confident, and detail-oriented. From the moment you’re in the chair, he moves with intention, taking his time to make sure every edge is crisp and every angle is clean. The lineup is razor sharp without being pushed back, the fade blends smoothly, and the cut looks just as good days later as it did walking out the door. It’s that kind of skill where you can tell he understands hair, head shape, and style on a deeper level. What really stands out is the consistency and pride in his work. Gabe doesn’t rush, doesn’t cut corners, and treats every haircut like it matters. The end result is that fresh, confident look you expect from the best hood barbershops—the kind of cut that turns heads and boosts your confidence. If you’re looking for someone who delivers that authentic, top-tier lineup every time, Gabe is definitely him.
Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful experience getting a haircut and a beard trim with Carlos. I’m just visiting Salt Lake City, and I was nervous about getting my hair cut by someone who isn’t my regular barber, who I’ve been going to for 3 years back in Vancouver. However, after letting my beard grow for 3 weeks, i realized I could not wait until I’m back. To my relief, after I explained how I usually get my hair and beard cut, Carlos understood precisely what I wanted. He worked meticulously and carefully, taking his time to get it just right. I was very impressed that for a price lower than most other barbershop I found in the area (when looking at booking appointments online) I got a close razor cut with a hot towel steam treatment, that was not rushed at all. I love my usual barber but frankly for the same price I got a lot more here. My hair and beard looked exactly like it always does after my usual barbershop service - just perfect! I definitely recommend coming here and letting Carlos take care of you.
Fantastic experience: I've been here twice now, both with Breezy and I have left happy both times!
Fantastic experience: Very meticulous with the details. Great haircut for great price
Fantastic experience: Top notch barber, great cut and excellent customer service!
Fantastic experience: Suzy is great! Very thorough and pays attention to every detail! I was honestly impressed with how clean the fade turned out! I’ve tried many other barbers, and no one has cut my hair as well as she does. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I’ve gone to Jai Santos for a few haircuts now, and he is the best. He is incredibly consistent, friendly, and always takes the time to make sure my haircut is exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend The Block and Jai to anyone who needs a cut.
Fantastic experience: Jai has been on point everytime I've seen him and I will continue to be back. I show him a picture of what I want and it's like he takes the picture and puts it on my head.
Fantastic experience: Carlos is a fantastic - he gives excellent fades in a really timely manner. Great experience.
Fantastic experience: Probably the most laid-back guys in the shop. Had conversations that were amazing. With all the barbers. Fantastic service and amazing service. Been looking for a barbershop like this for a long time. And it’s right down the street from me. I will always get my Haircut there from now on. Love all those guys.
Fantastic experience: Went to Noah at the Cottonwood Heights location, will definitely go back!
Fantastic experience: Block Barbershop is an extremely clean & professional establishment! My go to barber in Salt Lake City is Jai Santos, he is beyond respectful & highly skilled. If you need anything that’s your guy!!
Fantastic experience: Scheduled first time with Jai Santos, everything was great, he did exactly what i wanted
Fantastic experience: I go to Carlos every Friday. Cleanest barber shop in downtown. Extremely clean and friendly. Overall great experience.
Fantastic experience: Great customer experience! It was my first time going into their new sugarhouse location and they had gulped me right off without a reservation. Friendly and kind staff along with being patient and listening to customer needs.
Fantastic experience: Carlos cut my hair today, and did a great job!
Fantastic experience: Awesome new barbershop with great pricing!These guys are pros and take pride in their work. Mo killed it.
Negative experience: I asked for a trim and not anything drastically different. No additional questions were asked but my typical haircut is a 2 guard faded into a scissor cut. What I received was roughly a 2 guard all the way to the top exposing a bald spot that every other barber I’ve ever been too had left a little covered, uneven sideburns, and a half shaved neck. One of the worst haircuts I’ve ever received at a barber shop. Shop has a cool vibe though.
Fantastic experience: 2nd time here and the cuts have been amazing. Get a cut from my boy Zlatko he does an amazing job.
Fantastic experience: Carlos does the best skin fades in Salt Lake, bar none. Leaves me looking great every time I walk out. Business is clean, has great hours, good vibes, and great ownership. Location is awesome and walk-ins are welcome. Price is phenomenal, highly recommend the hot shave add on. Searched for the right place for a cut for years and will always recommend Carlos and The Block.
Fantastic experience: Carlos gives the best fades in the city! Ask for Carlos. Great, clean, chill atmosphere. Choose The Block Barbershop for your personal hygiene needs!
Fantastic experience: Went to Z for a haircut and Beard and I made the best choice. He was extremely professional, friendly and he cut my hair exactly the way I had in mind. I would recommend him above anyone for a professional and amazing looking haircut
Fantastic experience: Carlos wouldn’t let me leave until every hair on my head was perfect. By far, best $35 cut in salt lake, or probably even in my life.
Fantastic experience: Mo is the man! Cleaned me up nice. Nice clean shop conveniently located downtown at a reasonable price. I’ve never had a bad haircut from this place from any of the four guys who’ve cut my hair here in the past two years. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: My dude Gabe is excellent. So glad to have found a regular barber to return to every few weeks.
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at the block barbershop! The shop has a great atmosphere clean, modern, and welcoming. The barbers really know their craft; they take their time to make sure every detail is perfect. My barber listened carefully to what I wanted and gave me one of the best cuts I’ve had in years. What stood out most was the customer service everyone was friendly and professional, and it felt like they genuinely cared about making sure you leave happy. I also appreciated how easy it was to book an appointment and how punctual they were. If you’re looking for a sharp cut, great vibes, and skilled barbers who take pride in their work, The Block barbershop is the place to go. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Gabe hooked me up with a clean taper, and was a great guy to talk to. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Awesome service done by Susie! Got my style of curly taper fade exactly how I wanted and the results were 10/10! Thank you & keep up the excellent work.
Thank you Lee
Fantastic experience: Susana helped me on a walk in and did great! Detailed and took her time. Definitely would recommend
Fantastic experience: Cody is the man. I’ve never had a bad haircut from him and he was able to work magic on a cut that was not what I was looking for (sorry for cheating, won’t happen again). Everybody there puts out a good cut and is super friendly and the shop has a relaxed environment. 11/10 would recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great 1st time experience at The Block! Very cool vibes and good barbers. My man X got me looking tip top and I hadn't had a cut in 5 months!
Negative experience: Did not get a very good cut from here. Wanted a medium flow with a mid taper fade, got something else, no taper fade and an uneven cut on the left side. Now I got to wear a hat or go to a different barber to fix it. The whole haircut felt rushed I arrived 10 minutes early and was seen 10 minutes after my appointment time and the haircut only took 10-15 minutes. If I wanted to rushed haircut and for it to just be bland and not what I asked for I would have just gone to Great clips and saved 20 bucks.
Sorry about the experience you had. Would love to make it up to you. Please reach out to us. Thanks
Positive experience: The shop was nice. Everyone seem to be friendly. But the hairdresser I got was very awkward. I tried to start out conversation a couple times with minimal response and sat there and awkward silence for 20 minutes. She was nice but radio silence haha. Not sure what the going rate for a haircut is these days, but this seem to be the cheapest haircut in the walkable distance from my hotel. But it was still 35 bucks. Good haircut though!
Fantastic experience: Garrett has done my boys hair several times! As a stylist myself, I know my limits and trust Garrett one thousand percent! He helped my son prepare for homecoming, helped him feel so confident, now my son is in college missing his Barber! My other son loves feeling like a badA! Garrett got to know the boys and helped them pick a “style”. Garrett has become a good friend and his work is consistent! 10/10 recommend!
Fantastic experience: Got a fantastic cut from Gabe! The cut looks exactly how I wanted it to look, and on top of that he was a super genuine dude. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Mo gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had I appreciate him paying attention to the little details and being an easy guy to talk to!
Thank you Yousef
Fantastic experience: Gabe the "Wonder Kid"! You can ask him his age, but this guys skills and attention to detail are second to none! His maturity and demeanor, his ability to hold a conversation while completing the task at hand...barbers twice his age should take a page out of his manual! The cut and trim took 20 years off my appearance. Thank You Gabe! Ask him about his paragliding adventures! Tell him Mike sent You!
Fantastic experience: This place is legit. Gabe’s a great barber and an even better person. Would 100% recommend.
Fantastic experience: Been getting my haircut by Gabe for 3 years now, he has never once gave a bad haircut. He’s new to the block but don’t let that steer you away from booking with him. Great guy and even better barber!
Fantastic experience: Mo always takes his time and makes sure the cut comes out clean. Fades and line-ups are always sharp, and he’s chill to talk to in the chair. Definitely a 5-star barber.
Fantastic experience: Got a cut from Gabe and he did an incredible job. came in with an idea of what I wanted and he knew exactly what to go for and what would look good with my hairstyle, not to mention great dude, super dope conversation. definitely would recommend Gabe if your going to the block!
Positive experience: I had a somewhat disappointing experience at this salon. My first Impression upon arrival was good, everyone was really nice but during the hair cut, the barber accidentally cut my ear. It kept bleeding throughout and it still hurts now, a couple days later. This has never happened to me before. The hair cut also wasnt very well done, with different length hair on my Head. Accidents can happen, but i Unfortunately cannot recommend this place based on my experience.
Fantastic experience: MO is the best I couldn’t be happier with my haircut! He really listened to what I wanted and made sure every detail was perfect. The fade is super clean, the shape is on point, and Mo took his time to make sure it looked great from every angle. He’s amazing!
Fantastic experience: Honestly, best cut I’ve had in a long time. MO really knows what he’s doing he actually listened to what I wanted. Cool guy, easy to talk to, Definitely booking with him next time!
Fantastic experience: Cleanest trim I’ve ever gotten in my life from Carlos. My hair is thinning and hard to style, but Carlos gave me a great mullet. The cut was so good that I had to write a review online.
Fantastic experience: I got a very clean and solid cut by Mo. There’s a reason he has so many good reviews! He cleaned up my beard and eyebrows too. Definitely will be a returning customer.
Fantastic experience: It was a really great experience, I went for a hair cut and beard trim the staff were extremely professional and friendly. Mo was the best.
Fantastic experience: I walked-in late in the day. Gabe got me in his chair and listened to my vague description of the haircut I was looking for. He nailed it. Im not a young guy anymore. I get nervous about new barbers taking artistic liberty. Gabe earned my trust. I’ll be back
Fantastic experience: Best experience I’ve had getting my hair cut. Great people. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Came in and got a cut from Gabe. He was very professional and gave me good recommendations on my hair and how to style it. Very happy with my haircut.
Negative experience: I decided to make an appointment here because of the unanimously positive reviews and now I am totally puzzled by them. This might have been the worst haircut of my life. I don’t know which barber I had, no introduction. He did ask what I wanted, and some clarifying questions, which I appreciated. But, the cut felt like a somewhat frantic speedrun even though there was no else waiting. The whole thing took under 15 minutes. Random spots shaved, unevenly on each side. The overall vibe at the shop was clean and modern, but did not seem very friendly. Despite there being ~5 customers and barbers there, almost nobody said a single word the (short) time I was there. I feel bad leaving such a negative review but I honestly cannot imagine ever recommending this place to anyone.
Hello, so sorry about your experience. And Truly appreciate your feedback. We thrive on getting better. And want to make sure that we take care of every customer.
would love to fix this experience and make it right. Can you please email us at [email protected]
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I don't go anywhere else. Z does an incredible job with the straight razor and everyone in the shop is friendly. The price is less than other places downtown, so I can get a professional look whenever I need it. Walk-ins are welcome but I recommend using their website to make sure you can get a spot.
Fantastic experience: By far one of the best barbershops I’ve ever been to. Z has been my barber twice now and each time he has done an excellent job. He does not rush through the haircut, asks what you are looking for and delivers 100%. I wish I lived in SLC because I would never have to search for a barbershop again.
Fantastic experience: Mo was by far one of the best barbers I have ever had. I have moved around a lot and so have had a lot of different barbers cut my hair but Mo was amazing. Even if he hadn't said a word during the cut, his talent alone doing the high bald fade for me and knowing what looks good for my head shape was exceptional. Beyond the great haircut, what made my experience so valuable was that I was able to ask Mo a lot of questions and have an honest conversation about style and what haircut would look best for me - which is a conversation a lot of other barbers don't want to have because they want to get the cut over with as quickly as possible. In that way, Mo was a true stylist and I appreciated the honesty, integrity, and attention he brought to the conversation while cutting my hair. It felt like a collaboration, and it was obvious how much he cared about giving customers a great haircut and a great overall experience in the barbershop. I will absolutely come back and schedule an appointment with Mo again when I visit SLC in the future.
Fantastic experience: As a woman walking into a barbershop full of dudes, I wasn’t sure if I’d made the right call—but then Garrett gave me the cleanest trim of my life. I came in for something basic, left feeling like I could rob a bank and get away with it just from the confidence boost alone. He’s professional, chill, and weirdly good at reading minds (like, how did he know exactly what I meant by “just clean it up but don’t make me look like a mom”?). If he can make my plain Jane trim feel like a glow-up, just imagine what he’s doing for all these bearded bros. 10/10
Fantastic experience: Personal favorite spot, send my friends and colleagues here too. All the barbers are great, Mo will get you looking sharp.
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff! Carlos always delivers, coming with that NYC vibe. Instantly became a loyal customer.
Fantastic experience: Yo if you’re looking for a fresh cut, Mo is your guy. Clean fades, sharp lines, and he actually listens to what you want. Chill vibes in the shop too, never rushed, always on point. You walk out feeling like a brand new person every time!
Fantastic experience: Mo was awesome! I’m a female that needed a hair trim and he is the best. I recommend every girl and woman going to The Block Barber and scheduling with Mo !! — Victoria
Fantastic experience: It was my first time at a barber shop and I was a littke nervous, but Mo made feel welcome and left me looking clean ! Will definitely be coming back for my next cut
Fantastic experience: For years now, my wife and sisters have insisted that only really good stylists cut my hair. Z is not just really good. He is a *great: stylist: chill personality…yet very careful, almost a perfectionist…with a killer eye for what fits you! (Also: the opposite of the upsell and product sales type.) Very highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Mo is an absolute stud with the clippers! Best fade I’ve had in a long time. Shop atmosphere is top notch, too. Can’t recommend Mo enough!
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to get a haircut!! I recommend Mo as a barber, extremely skilled and cool barber. Gets me right every time, definitely recommend this place and this barber!!
Fantastic experience: Mo is the man when you need a clean cut, sharp fades, and real attention to detail. He knows exactly what he’s doing. I highly recommend if you want real skill, not just a basic trim.
Fantastic experience: Alright, so listen — I’m not usually the guy women come sprinting up to, alright? Like, if anything, I’m the guy women speed walk past. But I swear to God, I walk outta The Block Barber Shop after getting my haircut, and boom — instantly getting hit on. I’m not saying it turned me into Brad Pitt or anything, but I might be the hottest guy at the gas station now. Jaede cut my hair, and she absolutely crushed it. Legit wizardry with the clippers. Made me look way better than I deserve. And shoutout to Garret too — dude’s always dialing people up, everyone in there is coming out looking like they’ve got court dates or modeling gigs. Whole squad at The Block knows what they’re doing. Vibes in the shop are awesome too. Just a bunch of cool people making you look like you have your life together. Highly recommend. Go there if you wanna feel like a way more attractive version of yourself.
Negative experience: Not really a great spot for someone with thick hair. The barber, Carlos, left too much weight on top and too short on the sides. Carlos seemed rude towards me as well. He kept making backhanded comments towards me about my longer hair, and that I “finally looked like a man” when it was cut. Weird, will not be coming here again.
Hi Cole sorry about your experience. I will make sure to address your concerns and make it right.
Fantastic experience: Showed up for a walk-in, only had to wait about 10 mins, the pricing was reasonable for a quality cut. Iman was awesome! He understood my needs and was very charismatic. 10/10 would recommend!
Hi Dallin really glad your experience with us was good. We really appreciate you
Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Carlos is the BEST! Went into The Block Barbershop on a Sunday needing a refresh, and my barber Carlos absolutely killed it! I trusted him to do his thing—got my beard trimmed and treated myself to the Executive Package with a Tea Tree treatment. Carlos did an amazing job, If you’re in the area and need a top-tier cut or beard trim, go see Carlos, you won’t regret it! Thanks again, man!
Thank you Wyatt
Fantastic experience: You’ll be very relieved to know that Imad, a barber at The Block Barbers in downtown SLC, did a clutch job on my haircut today. I’ve been going to the same barber for 7 years in Oregon, every Wednesday at 11am. So (needless to say) the stakes were high. Imad nailed this bald fade with confidence and style. He was also kind, clean, and friendly. Glass act.
What an awesome review. We really appreciate you
Fantastic experience: Abigail did an amazing job on my haircut, beard trim, and eyebrow trim! I've never been excited about a haircut before, but she changed that. I trusted her judgment, and she absolutely nailed it—I love the way my hair looks! She's incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the review Ryan
Fantastic experience: I came for a haircut and was very impressed with how clean and comfortable the shop is. Carlo gave me a really nice haircut, I’ll definitely be coming back
We appreciate the review Eric!
Fantastic experience: Carlos did an amazing job, I let him just do what he wanted. I’ve had tons of compliments on the haircut - just booked a 2nd with him he knows what he’s doing
Thank you for the review. We appreciate you
Fantastic experience: Carlos has been cutting my hair for about 6 months now and I can honestly say he's one of the best in the valley! I've had a hand full of different barbers over the years but Carlos gives one of the best fades in SLC for sure!
Thank you Brian
Fantastic experience: It was the best experience at an actual barbershop in a very long time. I had a haircut, complete shave, and eyebrow trim. Pricing was very reasonable.
Thank you for the review. We appreciate your business
