Nathan "Fuzzy Nate" Busch

Founder

Fuzzy Nates was opened as a single chair barbershop in 2015. The owner Nathan Busch had had enough working in corporate America as a respiratory therapist for 15 years and wanted out. That’s when the idea to create a space that’s more represented of real people was created. A small one chair shop connected to a motorcycle shop (Salt City Builds) in Salt Lake City was opened. The concept was simple, remove the pressure, hype and bullshit of the salon and just offer okay haircuts at a decent price in a comfortable environment. The phrase “Salt lakes most Okayest” and “Keep your standards low” formed organically after witnessing businesses all over the country falsely selling themselves to customers as being the Best, Nicest, Cleanest ……. JUST BE REAL! We're by no means the best, we're us and that’s good enough! Since opening the shop has grown to host 3 barbers and hundreds of clientele and has evolved into a brand based on humor and a don’t take life to seriously mentality. Cheers to everyone who supports us, you’re family!

Jason Mathews

Barber

Hey everyone! I'm Jason, a Barber here at Fuzzy Nates. I love being a barber in every aspect from the different types of hair, different styles, and of course the people! I come from a very wide variety of past work experiences to include the military, oil field work, and government contracting. I'm a family man, I have Wife of 14 years, 3 children, and 2 dogs, and I'm a crazy Detroit Red Wings hockey fan! I'd love to have you in my chair for a haircut, beard trim, shave, and plenty of good conversation. Is there really a better place to be than in a traditional barbershop filled with laughter, stories and the smell of an older, simpler time. I think not!

Brittney Southerland

Barber

I’m Brittney, and excited to meet you all! I’ve been behind the chair for 13 years and specializing in men’s hair for 7. I love what I do, it’s very fulfilling to me.

I’m from California, lived in Arizona for quite a few years, and recently moved to Salt Lake in 2022. I’m really looking forward to continuing my career and growing here at Fuzzy Nate’s!

Parker Brown

Barber

I’m Parker and I’ve been a barber since 2015! From the very first time I stepped into a barber shop, I knew I wanted to be a barber. I switched around jobs a bit, but since barbering is the only gosh darn thing I’m good at, I kept coming back and ended up here at Fuzzy Nate’s. I enjoy the atmosphere and making people look and feel their best. I’m always looking to learn new things to become better at what I do.

When I’m not cutting hair, I enjoy spending time with my wife and son, being on the golf course, and trying to live my honkey tonk dream. Come on in for a pretty okay conversation and a pretty okay haircut!
