Barbers
Vanessa's Story
Vanessa always had an eye for the finer things—the perfect curl of a pompadour, the clean snap of a straight razor. Ten years in the barbering world sharpened her instincts and her shears, but it wasn’t until she hit Salt Lake City and walked through the doors of Jed’s Barbershop that she knew she’d found her calling.
Working with legends like Tina Nguyen and learning the ropes from Jed himself, Vanessa honed her skill, mastered her art, and uncovered a passion for customer service that went way beyond the basics.
But Vanessa had a vision: she wanted to create something different—a place where every client would feel more than groomed; they’d feel transformed.
She saw Retro-Barbers as a kind of time machine, where a haircut was more than a trim; it was an experience. A place where the lights were warm, the air was rich with vintage style, and clients felt like stars in an old Hollywood classic.
So she set out to build it, and four years later, Retro-Barbers is the place to be pampered, to step into another era and leave refreshed, and looking sharp as a tack.
Her clientele can’t stop raving; the proof is in the reviews. Think you’re ready to treat yourself? Take a peek at her Google reviews, and see for yourself why they keep coming back for more.
