Excellent service! We were able to walk in on a Monday and get taken care of immediately. Very fun and friendly atmosphere.

Great hospitality! Brenda and the entire crew made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. Everyone was friendly, and we had such great conversations while we were there. Angel did an amazing job on my son's hair--we couldn't be happier with the cut! We live in South Bend, but anytime we're back in the area, we'll definitely be stopping in again. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere and a great haircut! read more

Brenda was amazing! So kind and so funny. She made me feel right at home. You would think she had been cutting my hair for years and she just did it once. It was perfect! Extremely fair price. You even get a massage and hot towel. I didn't feel rushed at all. She took her time and really got to know me. read more

Brenda is simply the best! She always takes great care of me, and makes sure that I leave looking and feeling good. She's quite a character too, so don't be surprised if you find the overall vibe pretty entertaining. I went to Jack's Barbershop for the first time about 6 months ago, to fix a haircut that my previous place messed up right before an important event. Brenda reassured me and got me all fixed up. She did such a good job that I've been going to Jack's exclusively ever since, and I plan on continuing to do so. If you're looking for a new barbershop to make your regular place, this is the one! read more

Had an awesome, quick haircut with great conversation. If I'm ever in town and need a haircut, this will be the only place I'm going! 10/10.

Great cut. Kim does a great job as my hair isn't the easiest to cut. Reasonable price for downtown Indianapolis.

Alex was amazing! My son needed a hair cut and Alex saved him from his old man's coiffure. He sat him down and asked what he wanted. My son loved the oil treatment and styling, then having his neck shaved and massaged. Everyone in the Shop was super polite and helpful. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area. read more

Brenda! I need to know what scent you sprayed on the back of my neck after cutting my hair! I didn't shower for 2 days so it wouldn't wash off. (just kidding) Please tell me again what it's called. Oh... and BTW great haircut!! read more

In town for a conference and needed a haircut. Found this barber close by in walking distance and decided to take a stroll. Got there and was greeted quickly and sat down and waited for my turn. Great conversation, inviting atmosphere, cute dog, and a great place for a cut. Very professional and friendly. Will try and stop by whenever I am in town. read more

I've had my head shaved in places all around the world. Brenda's shave is my favorite!

New location is bright and spacious and across the street from the former spot in City Market. The service is top notch. 10/10

Brenda has been here in the City Market forever! I believe she said that her dad was here before her...she's got skills and you'll get a great cut, fast. This "barber" cuts everybody's hair. Brash, opinionated and a heart of gold. Indianapolis treasure! Covid and the drop in downtown office workers has hit the Market hard, and Indy needs to show some love to one of downtown's best daytime destinations! read more

No better time spent than time with Brenda Barrett at Jack's Barber Shop. And always a good result. A haircut should be a pleasure, not a chores, and it always is here. read more

Brenda is fabulous and a badass! My husband and I are in Indy for Supercross and my husband wanted to get a haircut. She did an amazing job and he wishes we lived here so he can come more often!

perfect straight shave, and a fun atmosphere. would definitely come back again when I'm in town. Also was nice they take walk ins.

This is a barber shop! Friendly employees with a 30 dollar cut. They offer a couple well priced products that are great. I've read some of these negative reviews and almost laugh. The owner is a badass and won't apologize for it. Anyway. If u want to support a small business that is actually down to earth. Support this place. Always pleased with the laughs and no BS attitude. read more

The staff was very friendly and welcoming, but the haircut I received was subpar. The gentlemen who cut it didn't spend too much time listening to what I wanted and more so focused on what he felt was right. In the end, I received a very awkward cut. Additionally, he used hair conditioner as product to hold my hair in place. Was not a fan. read more

I just finished up with my 4th or 5th haircut at Jack's Barbershop and I can say that this is one of my favorite places to get a haircut in the Circle City. Why? - flexibility. Brenda and the barbers get that we all have busy schedules, so they allow you to come in right as they're closing and will whip you up a great haircut...and won't be rude or rushing about it. - come in whenever. That's right - come in during their business hours and there is almost always a barber there to get you taken care of in a few minutes. I usually stick with Brenda and she's totally a-okay with setting up an appointment in advance too. - relaxed atmosphere. There's just something about some of the barber shops around town where I just feel like I don't fit it and it makes the whole experience uncomfortable. Brenda makes sure you're having a good time, you let loose, and you get a great haircut. - free mid-month neck shaves. I'll admit - I grow body hair like no one's business. Luckily, they do free neck trims and shaves in between your cuts so you don't have to worry about doing it yourself. - nice location. For those that live and work and are in downtown a lot, the location is perfect for walking/biking as it's located inside City Market. - price. $20 + tip = a great price for a great cut that lasts longer than many. Aside from one small hiccup I had with one of the barbers, I have had nothing short of five-star experiences. Be sure to come in on a time when Miko (Brenda's Shiba Inu) is in the shop to have a cute furry friend to keep you company while you wait. Highly suggest - just be prepared for Brenda's blunt comments :) read more

Did a fantastic job with a head full of cowlicks. Great value as well $15 for the cut. Old school style barbershop was a walk in and got right in. Best deal in downtown they did just as good as the places that charge $30 plus. read more

Ken was my barber and gave me the best haircut yet! I will be back

I liked this place, it is hidden in the back of City Market and I only knew about it through a friend. It is one of the cheaper haircuts in the city for men, and it is great for the price. I didnt have to wait in line, I was straight in the chair, and I believe if you are concerned you can call ahead for an appointment. I believe you can only pay in cash. Good spot! read more

Stopped in this afternoon for my third haircut, once again, amazed. I've had it cut by different people each time and it's still the same quality and service. My favorite quality about going here is that I've never had to wait and today there was even a puppy to greet me when I came in. Sure enough, Kim sat me right away and took his time, which is something I find rare anytime I get my haircut elsewhere. Kim even trims my eyebrows every time at no additional cost AND gives me pointers to maintain my facial hair. This is my new favorite place in the City Market. read more

Brenda is a godsend for my boyfriend's hair. He calls her up the day of and gets an appointment no problem. I hear so many good things about Brenda. She seems like an incredible person. My boyfriend won't shut up about her, and I don't blame him, his hair looks so good! read more

I stopped here for the first time today. Faith did a great job on my hair and my sons. Pro tip... its cash only. I had to run to the bank after my cut. Bringing cash is a hassle but it's worth it! I'll be going here for all my cuts from now on!! read more

Jack's Barbershop - Great with adults and kids cuts - Barbers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I am extremely anal about my hairstyle. In fact, I have attempted so many barbershops throughout Indy and have to no avail been able to find my star-crossed barber. How fate brought me to Jack's Barbershop is a miracle! I absolutely love visiting the girls at Jack's! Each one of them has their own special and charming personality that complements each other so well to create such a welcoming and entertaining experience! My girl, Aksana, just understands my distinct hairstyle! Together, we always attempt different hairstyles until we discover the right one that uniquely works for me! Only when we find that perfect style will we host a mini-photoshoot to showcase her astounding masterpiece! My partner absolutely adores Faith and all her precision and advice on maintaining his beard! After his recent ear surgery, Faith was extra conscious about his pain and still provided excellent service that exceeded his meticulous standards! Of course, no review for Jack's would be complete without acknowledging Brenda. She is definitely one of those rare and beautiful individuals who's genuine laughter and smile are so infectious that they that would brighten anyone's day! Although some would say her behavior is rather risqué, I personally enjoy and appreciate her bold character and candid disposition! I honestly believe we need more people like Brenda in the world! I would strongly recommend Jack's Barbershop to anyone who is searching for an affordable and quality haircut! These ladies are certainly mavens of their craft! I cannot express enough how much I enjoy visiting each one of them and how much I appreciate their impeccable service! We love you, Jack's Barbershop, and we cannot wait until our next visit! read more

Jack's was excellent, I walked in without a reservation, and even though they were relatively busy they were able to fit me in. They were very friendly, it was a great atmosphere, and they had a little cute Shiba Inu in the sleeping in her bed in the corner. I got exactly what I wanted and more, it was $20, which is more than I am used to paying, but I think that's normal in Indianapolis so I won't deduct a star for it. I definitely recommend them, if I need a barber in Indianapolis again I will definitely come back. read more

I thought my hair was getting a bit unmanageable, and being new in town, I don't know of any local barber shops or hair stylists. Thankfully there is Yelp, and for a long time it has only helped me find places to stuff my face. Today though, it helped me find this little gem of a place. All the great reviews are well deserved. Jack's is a small shop on the 2nd floor of the City Market. Keep looking, because it's there, if a bit difficult to find. It's a cozy place with an old-style barber shop feel to it. Once you set foot inside you'll be cheerfully greeted by Brenda. She was a joy to interact with, filled with great stories and tips. While Brenda was busy with another customer, in walks Kelly, another piece of joy that filled the place. She was the one that took me into the chair and took her scissors to my head. Kelly asked me what I wanted, and was able to very easily grasp the look I was going for. She was attentive, and very careful, making sure to clear any big steps with me before taking them. She took her time and took note of the little things about my hair, and adjusted her strategy to suit me. It all lead to a great haircut and an experience that is second to none. Not only was it great to finally get my haircut the way I liked, but it was wonderful to make a few new friends. I don't think I've ever had a cut this enjoyable, so Jack's Barbershop is definitely a place I'll be coming back to again and again. read more

There are a few dozen reasons to love this place. Tried in vain to boil it down to the top three, but they don't do it justice. One caveat -- only Brenda has cut my hair. While George and Suela add to the charm of the place, no personal experience re: their cut quality. That aside, here it goes: Despite being quick and cheap ($15, $20 with tip!), the haircuts are still high-quality. Want to stress this point: unless you're getting a shave, you'll never spend more than 15 minutes in her chair. Expect to walk out surprised at how quickly she gets to a good result -- it's easily the best cut I've found in Indy. One note: this isn't a "hair salon" and these aren't "hair stylists." The barbers are quick to point out the distinction: heard one hapless sap refer to Brenda as such receive a quick (but friendly!) correction. If your hair takes 30 minutes each morning and is loaded with product, probably not the place for you. The atmosphere is a throwback to your grandfather's barbershop (a la Red's) and feels less polished but more authentic as a result -- a community barbershop where everyone knows everyone and people are roasting each other & swapping gossip constantly. An endearing quality, and for the more asocial types Brenda will turn it down a few notches (which admittedly is still quite a few notches above most other barbers you'll meet). Everyone here is a character and has a ton of personality, they'll remember you and you won't be able to forget them. Brenda has a seemingly-loose steel trap of a mind -- despite probably cutting (or shaving) hundreds of heads per month, she'll still remember JUST the way you like it cut and pick up a few personal details on each trip in. It's locally owned (by Brenda) and everyone is a big proponent of "shop locally", you can't leave here without a recommendation to a try new vendor in City Market or info about everything from Yelp's Bazaar to an effin' square potluck. If you haven't tried it yet, make the switch at some point. Once -- and only once -- I "cheated" (her phrase) and tried Red's when Brenda was completely booked. Paid more and walked out less satisfied -- so much so that I stopped in at Jack's the next day. read more
