The quality of service here is second to none. For a long time myself and then my son traveled an hr just to get a cut from the barber named Nelson. The attention to detail and professionalism was amazing. Always had great conversations while getting exactly the cut was asked for. If you live in the area or want to get a true haircut experience travel to them at either of their 2 locations in St Pete. read more

The convenience of appointments with a true barbershop experience - the genuine, talented, and kind staff treat you right and care to get to know you.

I finally found my barber shop in St. Petersburg! I live in Gulfport and it's definitely worth the short extra drive. This is not your grouchy grandpa's shop, thankfully. Jai not only brings artistry to his craft and style, but dignity in how he carries himself and conducts business. Central Oak isn't gay owned but is definitely gay friendly if that matters to you. More generally, the tribe vibe there is people who respect people ... a comfortable, unpretentious, very reasonably priced place to get a great hair cut! Jai takes walk-ins if he happens to have an opening, but best is to schedule an appointment (website booking available). Also, know this is a cash only business. read more

What a find! I live in Clearwater, Florida & have been looking for a good barber shop. After a few failed attempts, I came across Central Oaks Barber Co. after perusing their website & scanning their social media sites I decided to give them a shot. I found out it was a single chair deal, appointment only & cash only as well. Not to be deterred, I made an appointment. I arrived just a few minutes before my cut & found Jaison finishing up a customer. We all began chatting. A few minutes later it was my turn. Jaison was kind, professional, insightful & helpful. The conversation was profound & the experience in the chair was spectacular! I could not be more pleased with my cut! I wholeheartedly suggest any dapper gentleman in the Clearwater / St. Pete area looking for a good barber check out Jaison @ Central Oak Barber Co.! read more

I spend part of the year in St Pete, and have been searching for a good barber. Through a friend i got the suggestion to try Jai and Central Oak. Great experience. On time, friendly, and meticulous haircut. Definitely give them a try! read more

The owner was having a bad day and took it out on my small child, who is usually very nervous about haircuts but climbed up into the seat all by himself today. My son doesn't yet understand sarcasm as most small children don't, so he was upset throughout the haircut and calling the owner silly names in response, which I don't defend but realize what was causing him to have that response - the constant sarcasm. At the end of our visit, the owner excitedly said, "Hey _______, do you want a sucker?" and of course my son was excited and said yes, and then the owner's tone changed drastically and he said, "Well too bad because I don't have any." My son was disappointed, and then the owner swatted him with a rolled up magazine. You never touch another person's child. Ever. And why was it necessary to make him think he would get a sucker when you knew all along you were out of them? It wasn't. Bully someone your own size, if you must. Not a five year old the day before he starts kindergarten. Consider specifying that you can only work with adults in the future since you clearly lack the professional patience necessary to work with children. read more
