Jared is absolutely amazing! Before today I have really only had black box dye on my hair and it was long and boring. I've always wanted to go lighter but I've seen and heard horror stories of orange hair, hair falling off, etc. So I didn't really trust anyone to touch my hair. Until I found and met with Jared! He has so much experience, he listened to what I wanted and was honest about what that process would look like. He took the time and patience to help me. I am so happy with how our first appointment turned out. I LOVE my hair, and I can't wait to go back! read more

For the first time in my life, I decided to start growing out my hair, but after a few months I could tell that my hair looked more like a fro than anything. So after several recommendations by friends, I decided to get my hair cut and styled by Jared. And folks, all the reviews are true, Jared really does miracles with hair. He turned my fro into a stylish cut that I love. Not only is Jared a good stylist, he's also a great conversationalist. His salon is located in the image studios building which is really modern and new. I had a great experience and I know you will, too. read more

Jared is amazing. For serious, Salt Lake City is lucky he came home from the wilds of LA and NYC. Some folks blithely change their 'dos in drastic ways. For others, like myself, changing your hairstyle can feel pretty vulnerable. Jared was confident and decisive, but truly listened. Isn't that exactly what you want in your hairdresser? Someone unbelievably hip, talented, and fierce, with unimpeachable credentials--a genius with scissors--and yet approachable and willing to compromise? I mean, usually you find one suite of traits, or the other, but not so often do you find both in one individual. Anyway, I went into his salon terrified to chop off my hair (kept long for decades until it had become both psychological armor and crutch). Wanting to go short, but totally willing to take just a trim if I wussed out. I came away from his salon with a new lease on life. And enjoyed a nice mug of tea while undergoing my transformation. And later donated my flowing locks to Locks of Love! So maybe my hair will give someone else a new lease on life, too. Jared, you are so much more than a hair stylist. I've had many personal reviews in the course of my career, and I don't remember 99% of them, but one of the most memorable reviews I ever got was a client who simply wrote: "I hope you live forever." It was hilarious, touching, and a little disturbing. but anyway, I hope you live forever. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Jared Gomez. People complain about Salt Lake being behind the curve when it comes to fashion, culture, and anything related to style. While sometimes that holds merit, Jared brings a critical eye and talent on par (if not exceeding) any work coming out of LA or NYC. I've been to Jared for a plethora of different hairstyles and each he has pulled off with ease, and has left me looking AMAZING while providing a fun and comfortable experience. He also manages to deal with me on visits where I have no idea what I want, and I am comfortable surrendering total control. I've never had a bad experience with him. Since I've been seeing Jared he has lifted my jet black ethnic hair to blonde, helped me rock the ever popular ombre dye job everyone in Hollywood is dying over, and returned me to a more conservative business appropriate look while still allowing me to retain my individualism. He does it all, recently he provided full make up and styling for my bridal photos and my wedding day. Needless to say, I was a stunner. His Best of Utah award was not a fluke. :) read more

I've always heard that Jared Gomez is the best hair stylist in Salt Lake City. I decided to put this title to the test. Let me share my experience: I made my appointment with Jared directly. He is very personable and made sure to find a time that worked best for my schedule. When I went to his salon, I was really impressed with the individual attention you get as his client. At most salons there are rows of salon chairs, gabbing housewives and people awkwardly staring at you from their mirror. I can't tell you how much I hate a loud impersonal salon. Jared's salon is clutter free, modern and the conversations are between you and him as your personal stylist. I believe that you should judge your stylist based on their appearance (superficial I know, but it's a must.) If you walk into a great clips and get your hair cut by someone in polar fleece Eeyore themed sweat pants with a terrible a-line cut, you can expect that they will make you look about as fashionable as they are. Jared Gomez is not only incredibly good looking, but you trust that someone who takes care of themselves as well as he does, & dresses as fashion forward as he does will help change your droopy hair-due into something new and gorgeous. Anyway, Jared gave me the best hair cut of my life. He looked at my hair and knew exactly what he needed to do to give me the look I wanted. He is very friendly and keeps you included every step of the way through the styling process. Jared was easily able to also fix my eyebrows which had been waxed unevenly by a previous stylist. Jared even offered to teach me how to style my hair. Most stylists kick your ass out of their chair and try to make you buy tons of products. I would recommend Jared to anyone. You too should test Jared and his title of best stylist from the City Weekly. You won't be disappointed. read more

I went to Jared because I just was not happy with the other places that I went to after my usual guy I went to in Salt Lake City moved to California. I absolutely hate finding new stylists because I'm just not very articulate in expressing what I wanted done. I did a review and figured that Jared would know what to do or at least be able to do something with my hair. I had to do a consulting appointment before anything. I went to him and explained what I had done with my hair, what I was hoping to do, and asked if he had any suggestions. He explained in detail what could be done with my hair (I have fine asian hair by the way). I liked what he said and booked my appointment with him. I'll fast forward to a few months later and say that Jared is very good. I'm very comfortable telling him what I wanted and he provided the input I really wanted. I left very satisfied with how my turned out EVERY time. He really takes his time and cares about his work which was important to me. I have since moved back to California and at this moment need Jared to work his magic again. I'm pretty sure I'll book an appointment with him the next time I'm in Salt Lake City just because he really is that amazing. read more

If you don't want a headache and a no-show charge, do not wait in the waiting room on the couch like a normal salon. I had a 12 noon appointment, arrived to the salon at 11:45 from Ogden. No one in the front to check you in. No where in the emails (yes, plural) does it state to go directly to his salon space. Not one bit of check in information. Sat in the couch, passed 12:30 thinking okay he's running late. Called his cellphone at 12:45 and after two rings got forwarded to his voicemail. At 1:00 flagged down another stylist and asked if he always ran this late. Took me to his room where the curtains were drawn so you couldn't see in. He stated that he didn't see me waiting. His assistant was able to book me for the following week since by now he couldn't work on me. Later got a notification from my credit card that I got a charge for $125. I now have to dispute the charge, cancel my appointment and find another stylist. His prices were not intimidating by all means, I'm from Honolulu where $300 is the standard. His work looks great but I am pissed about the situation. I think he would benefit with explaining the check in process for a new client. Maybe have the assistant pop her head out and see if anyone is waiting if it's past 10 minutes. Not only did I waste my time and gas on a miscommunication but was charged $125 for the inability to mind-read. read more

I love Jared Gomez! I have been going to him for about two years and my hair has never been healthier. He always runs on time and is prepared for your appointment and knows exactly what to do to make you feel good about your hair when you walk out the door. I trust him completely to do whatever he feels is best for my hair and he has never disappointed me. If you want a true professional that is up on all of the trends and really "gets it" make an appointment with Jared Gomez. read more

Jared gave me the most beautiful Carmel and chocolate brown color with long, luscious extensions. He uses premium quality hair that stays glossy and shiny after many move ups and color touch ups. Jared creates an inviting and fun atmosphere in the salon. He is very personable, extremely talented and knowledgable at his craft. I consider him Utah's top talent and I'm not alone. He has won best in state multiple times. I hope to continue to have him as my stylist for years to come. read more

Today I had a haircut by Jared Gomez at Salon O and I have to say it was the best haircut I've ever had! My head is that of a 60 plus woman, and I am only interested in not looking like a 70 plus woman or a poodle. Jared more than satisfied my requests and while doing his work he made me laugh out loud and made me forget my stresses of life for the entire time. This speaks to serious talent and at the same time he was a kind and thoughtful man. This city could use more professionals like Mr. Gomez. I plan on giving Salon O my future business and will definitely recommend Jared specifically! read more

I had a terrific stylist in SLC. One who knew me, my style, and how to deal with all my hair's quirks to make me look like a rock star. But sadly she moved away leaving me floundering in Utah's hit or miss style wasteland. I just let my hair grow for over a year until I decided I wanted and needed a change. After doing a fair amount of research I decided Jared was the guy to see. Herewith is my review: First let me say that I wish I could offer a different number of stars for different aspects of my experience, but alas I cannot But if I could... 5 Stars for Talent. Jared is obviously an excellent stylist. He knows his stuff, and has a good eye. 4 Stars for Customer Service. Jared was running late and sent me a text so I wouldn't be waiting around forever. My time is valuable and I really appreciated this. 2 Stars for Inattentiveness. Ok, to be honest, this really bugged me. Jared's assistant was a nice guy and he gave a great scalp massage during the shampoo, but I felt like a third wheel between the two of them. And when yet another person entered the room the gossip ratcheted up exponentially. I think would have had a much different haircut if I'd had Jared's full attention. 3.5 Stars for Haircut. As I mentioned previously, Jared is a very good hair-cutter and stylist, and I liked my hair when I left his chair, but it wasn't the change I was looking for. Jared did give me some styling tips, but haven't been able to fully replicate the look I left with. 3 Stars for Price. I'm not a stranger to high priced haircuts. My regular stylist in SF charged $200. Even in Utah I've had some pricy cuts. But all things considered, and taking into consideration the mini-mall atmosphere of the Image Studio location, I think $60. was a bit spendy. Would I return? I might. Or I may check out my options. ...if only my old stylist hadn't moved away. read more

Apart from being Gorgeous & Stunning, with a free Gun Show whether you expected it or not, Jared is truly THE epitome of making your hair walking art & fashion in SLC. He is sensible and realistic when it comes to making your hair work best for you, trust his judgements and suggestions ALWAYS.....He is also the best Stylist, "Blonder", "melter", & master of the Ombre in town! Man, what a heart throb! read more

Jared Gomez is probably the best of the best. I'm a hairdresser, and this is the guy most hairdressers go to to get groomed! If your lucky enough to get an appointment you will be delighted forever. read more

I moved to Salt Lake about 10 months ago, and I spent the first few of those months in haircut Hell. I had come from the Bay Area, where I had an awesome regular stylist with whom I felt comfortable. Back in Salt Lake, it seemed like my options were a lot of cookie cutter hair salons or Great Clips (never again). Finally, I asked around and a good friend of mine recommended Jared at Ulysses. I never went anywhere else again. Jared knows how to create the right style for you, and he's really fun to talk to. Just a great guy. Ulysses itself has a really cool vibe. I'd hang out there even if I wasn't getting my haircut. Anyway, 5 stars. Obviously. read more

Jared has been cutting my hair since he was in hair school (where I first met him). I've followed him to different locations over the years until (and after) I left SLC. Luckily he moved to NYC for awhile and I was able to have him cut my hair while he was there. I've been in SF and now back to Brooklyn and whenever I'm in SLC visiting family, I always make sure to get in an appointment with Jared. Based on his other clients I've either followed or preceded its obvious he has a great repertoire with people and folks are really thrilled with his work. For me, having a stylist who can whip out some great men's hair cuts has always been why i've returned. Can't say enough good things. His color work is excellent! (and you can look at his great tattoos in the mirror while he fashions you a MAJOR new look!) read more

The best of the best. I had been hair dresser hopping for a few years before I found Jared. I have lots of fine, curly hair, and nobody could seem to understand what needed to be done to maximize it's character. One quick stop in to see Jared, and VOILA...beautiful layers, perfect side-swept bangs, and a beautiful, low maintenance blonde ombre to boot. I have referred many, many of my family and friends to Jared. read more

Jared is amazing!!! I'm actually going to see him tomorrow to get a spring look. I met him when I was in desperate need of of someone to fix my hair attempting to do an ombre. He was so helpful, and fixed it and made my hair look fabulous! If you need color and cut here in SLC this is the wonderful person to go to! read more

I had such a hard time finding a great stylist ever since I moved to salt lake. No one gets my hair. Everyone I tried just couldn't figure it out. I loved that Jared offered a consultation before I scheduled! It gave me a chance to get to know him face to face. I like to feel comfortable and confident with who does my hair this was the perfect way. He impressed me entirely! So I scheduled. The appointment went even better! He was so knowledgable and very intent on finding out what I wanted. The entire experience was amazing and so much fun. At the end of the day I was soooo happy! I finally found someone I can trust fully with my hair! read more

Tried to make an appointment several times. They never bothered to call back or answer their phones. Waste of my time! Update 10/14/13 - Finally got a response but was called by the wrong name. Was also told to book online. I can't book online if the online reservation system is down and tells me to call your number. Ugh read more

I've been a regular in Jareds' chair for years. Life is full of changes, the one thing I can count on is TOTAL honesty from Jared. He is truely about bringing beauty to this world. We surely need it!! I've run the gamut from long to short to addicting extensions with Jared. My color has been above reproach, he's helped me do what's best for my hair and NEVER trying to keep milking a cash cow to pad his wallet. He's got it, he knows it and is willing to share, if you want to look your best he's the one!! read more

Jared has transformed my hair from flat and lifeless to the most thick, beautiful head of hair I could ever imagine. Wow! I will never go to anyone else. Highly recommended. read more

If I could give him more stars I would!! Today was my 2nd visit with him. First time we cut. This time he did my color. OH MY GOSH! I don't know if you know the feeling of maybe when you get a fantastic pair of jeans... you just put them on and you feel amazing in them. you can't stop thinking about them... want to live in them. Well this is how I feel about my hair. Gitty almost. I've honestly never had that feeling with my hair before. Jared is a genius at what he does! If you can get in to see him, you will be SO happy! read more

From the first time that Jared Gomez ever colored my hair I started getting compliments on a daily basis. Usually these random people stop me and ask "Is that your natural color?"(Which is what I wanted) then they ask "Who colors your hair and where can I find him?" Jared gave me a beautiful and rich color. It looks perfect with my skin tone. Though many people say that red requires a lot of maintenance my color with Jared looks beautiful even 8 weeks later. He has colored my hair 4 times now. As I walked in for my most recent appointment with him, a woman waiting for another stylist asked if she could take a picture of my hair. She said it was just so beautiful and she wanted to show her stylist. I felt that was the ultimate compliment to Jared, it had been 8 weeks and people were still loving it, including me. read more

For a town that often lags behind trends in beauty, Salt Lake City is lucky to have Jared! Not only is he meticulous to detail but he is approachable with questions about hair issues. He valuable advice helped me find a new hairdresser here in Scotland. Highly recommended! read more

You know when kim kardasian dyed her hair that beautiful carmel color? I went here with the impression I was getting a professional. What I got was charged $400 for an amateur job. At the consultation I was told once I go lighter he would refuse to dye my hair any other color down the road and what I was requesting required a team of professionals. Well what the hell are you dude a beginner? That shouldve been the red flag.The color came out nothing like I requested and with spots. SPOTS!! I'm pretty sure he had to Google how to lighten hair because for that price it wasn't shown in the work. I feel completely ripped off and for half that price I have been going to m.scott salon who has done nyc fashion week, been featured in all the fashion magazines and has a lengthy bio with credentials. Now that is someone who deserved my $400. This guy is just a basic hairstylist. If you want someone with experience or creativity I'd look elsewhere. read more

Jared is a magician! Not really but he is an artist and he will work wonders with your hair. Jared is always honest with me and I love my hair so much now that Jared does my hair. read more

The absolute best extensions stylist and artist out there! I love my "Sandy beach wave" hair and he exceeds my expectations. He has put me on the right Kevin Murphy regimen so my hair doesn't get dry. I just adore Jared! He is really fair with his prices and makes me feel like a queen! read more

I would give Jared 10 stars if I could :-) I've been having my hair done by Jared for the last 3 years and I wouldn't trust anyone else to work on it. He is great at what he does!! I've never had any problems with anything he's done to my hair. It always comes out looking amazing. I've had quite a few compliments on the color. Jared is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He makes you feel like you've been friends for years. His prices are very reasonable for what you are getting. read more

I was very nervous about going to this appointment. It was the first time ever that my hair was as long as it is. I was recovering from surgery and googled best hair dresser in Salt Lake....Jared's name popped up!!! I read the reviews and everything I came across about him. I decided to schedule an appointment which was two months out...as the date drew closer the more nervous I got. I went to the appointment today.....nerves and all!!! Boy was I impressed!! He talked to me about my hair....what I liked and what I didn't ...then he discussed what he thought I should do for my hair!!! He talked to me while cutting my hair....and in no time he was done!!! Then the blow out!!! I just can't explain how great my cut is..he cut my hair but barely took any length off!! I was amazed because that was my worst fear that he would take too much off ...he didn't ...he blew it out and styled it in a way I just loved!!! I loved everything he did for me as a hair dresser....I definitely want him to continue to do my hair and will be scheduling my next appointment!! Can't wait to see him again!! read more
