Walk ins with Josh and Travis!
Mel’s Barbershop is bringing back “Customer Service Excellence”! We specialize in the newest hip styles as well as the classic gentlemen’s cut. If you really want a treat, we offer the traditional hot lather shave and hot towel treatment. We use a straight razor to get those lines crisp and clean and the shaves close.
We cater to all ages, so dads and sons come on in and join us for an old-fashioned Barbershop experience and enjoy a great cup of coffee from our coffee bar. See you soon!
We require a 24-hour notice of cancellation, if you fail to do so within that time it will be the price of the service you booked.

RODOLFO
BARBER
My name is Rodolfo Rojas, and I have been practicing the art of barbering for 14 years. I was originally an Engineer and a Firefighter in the Dominican Republic. When I moved to the United States of America, I had a need to provide for my family, and having had some previous knowledge I decided to become a barber. This has undoubtedly been the most important career I have had. Partially dominating the English Language, the way I win people over is thru my work. I cut all hair types and styles, and I truly love what I do. The ultimate reward of being a barber is seeing the look of satisfaction from my clients every single time they stand up from my chair. I am available for Walk-Ins and Appointments.
JOSHUA
BARBER
My name is Joshua Slater, and I was born and raised here in Sarasota. I graduated from SHS in 2012 with no clear path of what I wanted to achieve in life. I chased one job after another, never feeling happy or fulfilled. I often thought about barbering, so I started watching YouTube videos. The more I watched, the clearer it was to me that this is what I wanted to do. I wanted to make people look and feel wonderful, so I took that leap and went to barber school. Best decision I have ever made. This is my passion and what I love to do.
TRAVIS
BARBER

I went to school and was trained by some of the best in the business. I take pride in my craft and look forward to serving you with a wonderful experience on all your haircut needs. Thank you

Reuzel
Mel’s Old City Barbershop Sarasota is a proud dealer of fine Reuzel products!
Men on a missionLeen and Bertus wanted to cut every man the perfect hairstyle, proper porkchop. And to provide a haven. A barbershop. A place men could trust the products and enjoy the company. Those classic styles and hot-towel shaves are still around. And the traditions that created them have kickstarted a bit of a riot.
Flash forward
Cut to the present day. Leen and Bertus have their name on a school, spreading the greasy gospel to people who need to perfect their craft. And they have their own line of products, too. Reuzel is here to make sure that as styles change, the attitude remains the same.
If you get it, you get it
And if you don’t, you never will. Doesn’t bother us. But for those people who are ready to sculpt a style, write a story, and be part of a legacy… Well, welcome to the family.
