Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop, a renowned name in the grooming industry, has officially opened its doors at 57 East 11400 South in Sandy, Utah. The barbershop began its soft opening on June 27, gearing up for a grand celebration scheduled for August 16.
This exciting venture in Sandy is spearheaded by local entrepreneurs, brothers Jake and Nate Hughes. Despite being newcomers to Utah’s barber scene, they bring a clear vision focused on revitalizing the traditional barbershop experience with a modern twist.
Nate Hughes expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity, stating, “Utah’s rapid population growth and thriving cosmetology industry—over 56,000 licensed professionals—create a real opportunity for us to elevate the local barbering experience.” He emphasized the importance of providing a space where quality, consistency, and community unite.
The grand opening celebration promises to be a lively community event rather than a mere ribbon-cutting ceremony. Attendees can participate in various activities, including basketball showdowns, cornhole challenges, and chances to win prizes throughout the day.
In a nod to local sports legend Jimmer Fredette, who will be present for the festivities, the barbershop is offering haircuts for $32, reflecting Roger’s iconic number 32 from his time at BYU. It’s a unique opportunity for guests to not only enjoy a haircut but also support a charitable cause, as 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Fredette Family Foundation, which aims to foster youth development through education and leadership.
Keenan Fisher, Managing Partner (Franchisor) of Tommy Gun’s U.S.A, noted, “This launch is a milestone we’re especially proud of. Jake and Nate aren’t just franchise partners—they’ve been part of our family for a long time.” Fisher highlighted their community connections and entrepreneurial spirit as essential factors for introducing the Tommy Gun’s brand to the Utah market.
Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop is not merely a venue for haircuts; it has developed a reputation for integrating classic barbershop traditions with modern grooming services. It has garnered international recognition, including the accolade of Best Health & Beauty Franchise at the 2025 Global Franchise Awards.
The Sandy location is set to offer a comprehensive menu of services, including haircuts, shaves, facials, and beard trims, all adhering to the high standards that have made Tommy Gun’s a beloved name in the barbering community. With a focus on delivering top-quality service and creating an inviting atmosphere, the barbershop aims to redefine customer expectations in the grooming industry.
Residents are invited to join in the celebrations on August 16 for the grand opening of Tommy Gun’s in Sandy. Guests will have the chance to meet Jimmer Fredette, enjoy various games with prizes, and leave with a fresh haircut designed to impress.
