New Barber at Haircuts, Etc.

Jenna Liechty is new to the Haircuts, Etc. location, but she isn’t new to the area.  Jenna, who grew up in Caribou County, is excited to provide an old-fashioned barbershop experience to her clientele.  

“I was born in Soda Springs,” she explains, “and a lot of my family
is here.”  

And it isn’t just family, but friends, too.  Jenna was already familiar with Jeri Selos of Haircuts, Etc., for instance.  “I knew Jeri growing up as a kid.  My brother was best friends with her son, so I was around her as a kid quite a bit.  It was really cool to reconnect in that way.”  

After she initially left Soda Springs, Liechty studied at the Paul Mitchell School in Rexburg, where she learned her craft and earned her barber’s license.  

“It’s a good school for it,” she says.  “You learn all the basics, and then you take a board exam and the state approves you through the health department.  I did my time,” she laughs.  “It was scary, and it was hard.  But I was passionate about it, and here I am!”  

She was mentored for around three years at “Fadeaway J’s Barbershop” in the former site of the Pine Ridge Mall in Chubbuck.  “He was my first real mentor, and gave me the confidence to move down to Salt Lake and continue learning.”

In Salt Lake, Jenna practiced her craft at “Another Level Barbershop.”  The pace and size of the city gave her exposure to a lot of different techniques and approaches to the profession, as well as a lot of heads to gain experience on.  “I grew exponentially there.  I learned a lot of things I was looking forward to learning.  And now I’m down here to share the love.”

When she returned to town, way led on to way and her connection with Jeri eventually led to her recently joining Haircuts, Etc. as a barber.  “I just missed home, needed to slow down.  And here I am, welcomed into Jeri’s shop and excited to share the talents that I’ve learned in other places and I’m bringing back here.”  Having settled back in, she reports that “It’s great to be back home.  It’s crazy, but it feels good.  It’s been good to see friends and family again,” she says.

Liechty provides a number of services that might be considered “classic” barber style.  Straight razors, hot towels, and all those elements of the classic old-fashioned barbershop are things that she is thrilled to provide to the community.  Come in and enjoy a full barber experience!  

Walkins are welcome Monday through Friday, with appointments available on Saturday.  

If you are looking for a barber, or want to give the barber shop experience a try, Liechty is committed to “bringing something new and exciting to Soda—an interesting, classic barber experience that hopefully people will really enjoy and take to!”

Haircuts, Etc. is located on Main Street in downtown Soda Springs, across from the courthouse and library.  At present, she is offering a $10 Senior Haircut deal on Tuesdays, which is a steal of a deal, and one in line with her commitment to an old-fashioned and dependable approach to the barber shop.

Jenna, along with the rest of the experts at Haircuts, Etc. will always be glad to see you, and provide excellent, experienced service for your haircare needs.
