Reviews of JT Barber Hair Design Studios (Barber Shop)

Jack

Always a great experience with JT - great conversation, always some good music playing, and most importantly an expert haircut for a fair price.

I called and was accommodated politely and quickly. I arrived at the shop and Jay was very professional and easy going. Clean, organized, and really listened as I explained what I wanted. An exceptional barber experience.. and a very good haircut. I rebooked, definitely will be returning regularly.

JT is the man, he got me in on his day off. On top of that he gave me the best beard trim and style. The atmosphere is great and as you would expect for a guy who is passionate about his craft. No question about it I think I found my barber!

Been following JT for 2 years now. I refuse to go to anyone else. As a military man its hard to find a good, let alone a great barber. JT is one of the greats. Not only because of preference but he's a true professional who continues to look to perfect his craft. He isn't just a barber. He's a Stylist! Keep up the great work and artistry.

It sucks to post a first negative review, but the situation unfortunately truly warranted it. I just moved to Madison and J The barber was one of the few 5 star barbers I was able to find. I called Sunday and he scheduled me for 1:30pm the next day. I got there and the shop was closed. Then another guy came, and we waited for him an hour. He never came. So I figured it must have been an emergency and gave him the benefit of the doubt for wasting my time. After a unanswered couple calls, he texts me later in the day asking if I’d like to schedule an appointment. So again, I give him the benefit of the doubt thinking he just doesn’t have a way to tie phone numbers to customers and schedule the next day for 5:30. I get there, his last appointment ends at 5:45 (again, no prob for me, a quality cut takes a while right?) and he’s super nice and we’re chatting small talk. Still no apology for wasting over an hour of my afternoon, but even that’s forgivable. Here’s where the coin flips dramatically. I describe to him what I want, saying not to merge the top of my hair into the sides and that I don’t want a fade. So he clippers everything and when he’s done, I don’t see a clear difference from the top of my hair and the sides. So I say maybe it’d be nice to try a fade. And now he gets passive aggressive (?). “You told me you didn’t want a fade. You know it’s time for me to go home and I don’t want to be here another 30 mins giving you a fade. But do you want one?” -Why would I want your services with that kind of attitude?? So I say “no” and he asks why I’m saying no, further awkwarding the situation. At that point I’m just ready for the service to be over and it comes time to pay. I give him my cash and he says “here’s the money back with the $5 tip you gave me”. As if to teach me that I’m required to tip him. I let him have his self-demanded tip. But in exchange for that sort of extreme rudeness, I wrote my review.

From out of town. Found this place because my fiance was getting hers done at butler street hair designs. JT took me in eventhough he was done for the day. Awesome job on the fade and just all around great personality. Must go. Will definitely stop by again when I make my way back to Madison

Professional, pleasant, diligent at his craft, JT delivers an A+ experience. When you find a good barber, you know it.

A nice atmosphere. Great conversation, clean shop and JT is an easy guy to hang out with while getting a haircut. An all around classy guy. I’d recommend him for sure. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Best fades in town, Jay works wonders with his clippers. The salon is nice and clean and looks great. I would highly recommend coming here for your next haircut

I had a wedding to attend with a few friends and we all needed haircuts the day before. We called JT and was able to get in even though he already had a pretty tight schedule. He got all four of us done, making time for each of us in between appointments he already had filled. What an awesome gesture, and genuine upbeat positive energy. Our haircuts were finished very nicely and in style. Nice clean shop, cool music and one of the best barbers I’ve met in town.
