We took our son here to get a haircut the last week in February. The previous haircut (NOT done…read morehere), the barber had cut his hair so unevenly and it was growing out terribly. Little dude needed it to be fixed, ASAP. We looked up places near us, and thankfully found this little gem. Called ahead, and they said they had time immediately so we drove on over. There were only two people working there that day, and the gentleman who I spoke with on the phone ended up cutting our sons' hair. I believe his name is Carl, but please forgive me if I am wrong. His chair is the first one when you come in on the left. He listened to what we wanted, was so good with little man (aged 4) and had such a natural rapport with him. He made the haircut such a breezy process and FINALLY his hair was even again! It was a perfect cut, and very reasonable ($13). It has been two months, and it is growing out the way it should be. We will be back, once the world is back up and running due to current quarantine but I really wanted to show 5 West some love!

Yes. One bad egg can ruin it for everyone. Brought my toddler there for a cut today. Would've been…read morehis fifth cut if I did not walk out. I believe the guys name was Rob (if he even gave me the right name) I can't remember because I was too pissed off. Right away when I asked for him not to be buzzed I wanted a scissor cut the back n forth started. Told me he was not able to use scissors on a kid because they move too much and it's dangerous. (I get the worry) Mr Pete did his first haircut (who was awesome) he used scissors no problem. Then two other awesome ladies did his hair as well no issue. My son definitely felt the negative energy already and acted on it. I should've trusted HIS instincts immediately. He knows who he doesn't like. Then he proceeded to tell me my son had too many cowlicks. He has ONE in the back of his head which is a swirl most boys tend to have. The rest I explained is because he went to sleep with wet hair and his natural wave took over. Starts cutting my son's hair without even a spritz of water. Gets annoyed when my son drops his binky. I then sat him on my lap and tried that way, and the frustration grew. I asked him can you still cut it fairly long if you used the buzzer and he replied that's what I've been trying to tell you. Um, sir, no you weren't. You had negative energy from the start and then told me I was being rude since I arrived. Anyone that knows me knows that is not my MO. I took my son and left. Now he has a wonderful cut. That was done WITH SCISSORS BTW! My son didn't like your attitude and neither did I! Never going back! Also stop smoking in your building it smells putrid in there. I'd love to give the others who we've worked with 10 stars but this jerk deserves zero. If you don't like your job do something else.

Going to Jerry's is almost an experience onto itself and not just another haircut. Want to be happy with your shave or cut, and meet some down to earth people? Check out Jerry's.

Came here for a standard haircut on a Wednesday afternoon. I had been wanting to stop in this place…read morejust by the looks alone. It's got an old timey mixed with modern punk kind of feel to it that I really am all about it. But the punk vibe is only that, because the guys here are as nice and helpful as can be. It had been a seriously long time since I've gotten my hair professionally cut and don't even really know what I can do with it, but I was in good hands with Robby (literally). He asked me a whole bunch of questions and gave me some ideas and I went for it and was incredibly happy with how everything turned out. So much so that I think I'll go back to having a barber on the regular again. At some point I would definitely want to try a professional shave too, but right now I don't have anything worth shaving! You can tell this place cares about community too, every one that popped in felt like they had been friends for years, and that's a kind of homey feeling I love to see in a local business. So this is how my hair journey begins, and I'm very excited to see where it takes me!

I'm not sure where a few of these great reviews are coming from? Just had THE WORST experience in…read morecustomer service at this place. My boyfriend walks in (no customers anywhere) and he is guided into a chair by one employee (seemingly the only one?) and my boyfriend shows him a picture of what he wants. The employee actually told him "that's the hair you have right now, there's nothing I can do for you." My boyfriends hair is long and curly and he showed the man a picture of a buzz cut. My boyfriend actually had to tell him that his hair is long and looks nothing like that picture and the employee told him there's nothing he would do and he should go somewhere else. Where else does this happen in a business with no customers?! How is this allowed? And how does this place stay in business? The treatment we were shown was absolutely disgusting. Update: Just found out it wasn't an employee but the owner! He responded to my review on Google by calling me "stupid" and lying about what happened. Harassment on google lead to his page being shut down. *FINAL UPDATE* the owner has continued to harass, threaten, and verbally abuse us and has been reported to Yelp. His comments have been flagged as abusive. I warn anyone who is a customer of his... he is aggressive and short-tempered.
