I actually visited the Sarasota location but couldn't find it on Yelp so made it a point to get this review somewhere cause this place needs to be found!! Jose was my barber. He asked me what I usually get and I told him normally I go to like great clips or super clips and just ask for a low fade. His reaction was priceless. He said "and they can actually do a low fade???" I immediately could tell I wasn't at Greta clips! He told me he was about to give me the best haircut I've ever had. I sat in the chair for probably an hour or longer. I could tell this guy knew what he was doing. There was no rush, there was just careful, precise work being done and I could tell it was being done right. We had many good conversations about life, family, etc. He told me about how he got into the business and talked alot about his family. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience overall. And he was right, best haircut I've ever had! Sadly I am not local so I'll have to just drop by anytime I'm in town. I will definitely not be going back to a great clips ever again either !! read more

Mel's Old City Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

I will update review...was texted after he missed appointment of an emergency he had.

Jose did a fantastic job. The shop was clean and well-maintained. I will be back and recommended highly.

This is a great place to get a man's haircut. My barber is Justin Monk and he's phenomenal. He's very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and flexible. I always enjoy my time there. He does a great job every time. There are two good Barbers working this shop and then MY Barber, Justin who is excellent, which makes three. Take your pick! read more

It kills me to give out just one star because the people are so nice that work here. But I've gotten my hair cut at this place twice and have been unsatisfied. I came back a second time to give them another chance because I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Both times I've been, I've shown pictures of exactly what I wanted, gave specific directions, and he said he could do it...And both times I got a cut other than what I asked for. Last time I just had him stop because i just wanted him to quit before it could get worse. I really do think the people there are kind but I'm not paying to get a haircut from nice people. I'm paying to get the cut I want. Bless your heart but I need a new barber read more

Great staff, great cut, pleasant experience all-around! This isn't Great Clips. The price reflects the care in which they put into your service! I'll be back for sure and you should check them out! Rating 8.3/10 read more

When you call to schedule a appointment for the weekend and are told "it's walk in no need for appointment " that's what you expect to walk into. Instead we were turned away and told it's booked up! Now every place that I could of tried to get into is no accepting new clients. Will not be coming back will not recommend and Their word is garbage. read more

"No walk ins" and then proceeds to hang up haha If you don't like what you do for a living why do it. I'll take my business elsewhere to a barber that is happy to make money and doesn't hang up on potential customers. read more

Mel's is the best in town, bar none. I discovered her shop after I had waited 2 hours at another local barber shop to get a haircut. Best decision I've made in the last few years. Using the Vagaro app, I can easily make appointments around my schedule, or you can call the shop to make the appointment if you're not into the app thing. I've NEVER had to wait in the 18 months I've been going there. I walk through the front door and Mel is waiting with a smile on her face. Haircuts are amazing- it's always sharp, clean, and exactly what I'm looking for. The atmosphere is laid back and chill. The barbers are friendly and inviting. I'm always in and out in 30 minutes with a great cut and a massage. Mel is a wizard with the clippers and straight razor! If you need a haircut and are ready for a truly great barber experience, definitely check Mel's out. You won't regret it. And best of all, you won't wait hours and have to struggle for parking to get it done. Five stars alllllllllll the way!!!! read more

The BEST zero fade I have ever had, they earned a new returning customer today. A relaxing, quality, & non-rushed cut. Overall awesome experience! read more

Didn't have time to get a haircut before I left home for vacation so I decided to get one here in St Augustine. I did a quick google search and chose Mel's. Definitely glad I did. I got exactly the haircut I asked for at a very reasonable price. The shop was clean and comfortable and Mel even gave a terrific lunch recommendation. I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

Fantastic experience. Mel was patient and welcoming and gave me the best haircut/ beard trim I've ever had.

Dustin totally nailed it. I went in for a haircut and Dustin was very meticulous and gifted. I definitely will be back!

Love the atmosphere. Oz does an awesome freaking job. Great addition to the team. Now my go to guy!!

Great cut - just like I want- prompt and very clean- best of all you can make an appointment

Much like dental and doctors appointments I've always equated haircuts as one of those burdensome yet totally necessary parts of modern living. For years I would push myself to the brink of appearing homeless only to find myself sitting in yet another sterile hair salon, waiting for my name to be called, so a total stranger can have their way with me and push me out the door as fast as possible. I felt like a cog in a very large machine. I'm happy to report this is no longer the case. Mel's was recommended to me nearly a year ago and I feel like I've finally found a home. Mel is passionate about her work, from the cut itself to the hot towel and neck and shoulder massage at the end the whole thing is a welcome experience. I feel like she generally cares about what's going on in my world, she's always happy for those small successes and is willing to lend an ear if you're having a rough day. This is a barber shop of old, like the one my grandfather used to talk about. For once in my life I look forward to getting my haircut as much as I look forward to grabbing a cup of coffee and chatting with the local baristas or going out to a nice restaurant. This barber shop was truly a game changer for me! read more

Melissa is the best! Moving is such a hassle and being able to locate a great barber/salon place like Mel's is terrific! She is Trending, consist, professional and always pleasant.... read more
