Walk ins with Josh!
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.

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.
