About JD & Jake's The Barber Shop
JD & Jake's The Barber Shop is a barber shop on Holmes Rd in the Martin City area of Kansas City. Several barbers work the chairs, and regulars are greeted by name when they walk in. For younger customers, kids' haircuts come with cartoons and candy on hand to help them sit still through the cut. The shop operates on a walk-in basis, with no appointment required to get in the chair. It's open Tuesday through Saturday and closed on Mondays and Sundays, giving the week a steady rhythm of service. The combination of familiar faces behind the chair and a setup built to keep kids seated makes the shop a straightforward stop for haircuts across ages, without the need to book ahead.

Customer Review Summary
Haircuts from the shop's barbers draw the most repeated praise, with several reviewers singling out one barber in particular as giving the best cut they've had, and others crediting a second barber for consistently great service. Close behind is the experience with kids: one parent describes a barber turning on cartoons, letting a toddler play in the toy bin, and keeping candy on hand to help him sit still through the cut. Reviewers also point to the price, with one noting the cut matched a "premium" shop's quality at half the cost, and several describe an old school barbershop atmosphere with easygoing, down to earth barbers. The one recurring complaint comes from a reviewer who walked in expecting to be served, was never acknowledged, then overheard a barber say aloud that the shop no longer takes walk ins, and left without a cut. Otherwise, regulars mention being greeted by name on arrival.

“Wasn’t aware this place was APPOINTMENT ONLY. Walked in, sat down and nobody even acknowledged me. Wasn’t till a bit of waiting one of the barbers mentioned to another barber very loudly that, “it’s too bad we aren’t walk ins anymore”, so I got up and left.”

“This is the best barbershop in the Kansas City area. Great barbers and an old school barbershop atmosphere”

“My boys love this barber shop. I’m a cosmetologist myself but they prefer going to a barber for their haircuts. My 16 year old son and my 9 year old both went to Alec and said he was the best barber they have ever been to. Finally found a place where everyone was happy with their haircuts. Will be going back with my other tween boys as well. Have sent my nephew to Alec also and he was very happy too.”

“Alec is always amazing and every time I walk in everyone greets me by name. Jake is really running a smooth operation.”
