Nelson absolutely crushed it. This is a one-person barbershop, and you can really feel the care and pride he puts into his work. His attention to detail is top-tier--every part of the cut was precise and intentional. He's a great listener and communicator, which made it super easy to explain what I wanted, and he checked in along the way to make sure everything was perfect. The appointment process was smooth and stress-free, and on top of all that, he's genuinely kind and welcoming. On top of the great cut, his shop is really cool--clean, comfortable, and has a great vibe that makes the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a barber who actually takes the time to get it right, Nelson is the one. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing experience here. One of the best haircuts I can remember. Vibe was friendly, cool, relaxed but also very professional. Couldn't recommend more and will definitely be back. read more

Attention to detail and quality of service is unmatched, perfect for anyone looking to get a high quality hair cut in a private setting at a perfect price. I have medium long hair and Nelson executed my style perfectly and brought new light to how I can wear it. Hands down best Barber in Boca, I've been to many in the area but he has my business now Thank you Nelson look forward to the next cut! read more

My son has a bit of PTSD with getting haircuts from past experiences of the professional not listening to what he wants especially with his bangs = so with that in mind - we were so impressed with Nelson's reviews that we felt this was a good option to try - and dang = did he deliver - very patiently listened and responded with questions to clarify what he wanted, Happy results and Nelson has a great chairside manner - very nice salon area - highly recommend. read more

I've been going to Nelson's for my haircuts for a few years. I have always been very happy with his work. But this year, I added the look and care of a beard, and he has rocked the house with his skills. And he makes the visit extremely comfortable and amicable. I will go to him as long as I have hair left! read more

Nelson did a fantastic job styling my hair. I'm a relatively new customer and I explained to him what I wanted as far as the cut in the back and he performed it very well. Very good stylist and very good technique and uses the right technique at the proper time. read more

My son and I are on vacation and needed a cut. We found Nelson's and we were able to book same day appointments. We highly recommend Emory, very talented and provides a great service. We were also able to have a good conversation as well. Definitely will be back next time we're in town. read more

I would like to share my recent experience at Nelson Barber Shop--it was absolutely fantastic! I have been getting haircuts with Nelson for over a year and this time had the opportunity to have Emory cut my hair. Both Nelson and Emory are the real deal. These guys are not just barbers; they are true artists in their craft. Emory is super professional and always has a smile. Awesome conversations too! I can't recommend Nelson Barber Shop enough to anyone in this area. The combination of professionalism, skill, and that warm, inviting atmosphere makes it a must. Cheers! read more

First time going there and it was great, Nelson makes it easy asking specific questions about how do you want to look and what do you want to keep or modify in your hair, place is also nice and Nelson is a great person to have a conversation in the meantime, really liked the results, will be coming back for sure! read more

Nelson was amazing. He gave my 13 year-old son a cut that is the first one he's ever had that caused him to smile!

I've been a client of Nelson's for almost 14 years. I followed him all the way from the Art of Shaving in the very beginning to his new facility today. I moved to Texas a few years ago and still fly in for haircuts. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a amazing barber. Appointments are quick and easy with his online scheduling. He's always flexible so give him a call if you don't see it online. read more

So glad we found Nelson's. After a few failed attempts at getting my sons' haircuts we finally found someone who listed to them and understood what they wanted. Listed to me and was able to come up with a compromise that made everyone happy! My boys have wavy to really coarse curly hair and he knew exactly what he was doing, I was really impressed and happy with the outcomes. Thank you. read more

I have to say Nelson truly is the best. I am new to the area and was really worried about finding a good barber for my son and I. Nelson put my mind at ease. Both my son and I received a phenomenal haircut and not only do I have a new go to barber shop but I made a new friend. Excellent!!!! Highly recommended!!!! read more

Thanks for a great shave, Nelson. What a treat!! Great clean place. Easy to get an appointment.

One writes a review to share an experience (good or bad) that recently transpired. That is what this review is about. I had a beard a few years ago and shaved it off because of the difficulty trimming. My go-to excuse was that the trimmers were unprofessional, so my angles and edges were uneven, making the beard more of a liability. A well-groomed beard can make an enormous difference in a man's appearance, so shaving it off was frustrating. A good friend asked me how often I go for a haircut. I responded, "Every four weeks." The follow-up question was, "Would you ever consider giving yourself a haircut?" The lightbulb went off. By choosing a skilled barber to shape your beard, you can achieve a look that suits your face shape and personal style. So why settle for a lackluster beard when you can elevate your grooming game with a professional beard trim? That is my lead-in to Nelson's Barber Club in Boca Raton. You will not find a better beard trim in the Tri-County area of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. He is worth the drive. This is the place where professionals go, and perfection reigns supreme. Go once, and you will retire your clippers, and never think about sitting in any other chair. Nelson does it all, including discussing your thoughts and your end game. He is ready to talk as in-depth as possible if you ask for suggestions. He lets you talk during the entire experience, interrupting only to explain what will happen during the next steps. His haircuts are second to none, and his beard sculpting is exceptional. My beard cleanup was tremendous, as Nelson is meticulous with his work. The website offers easy scheduling with a day before and a day of reminder. By choosing a skilled barber, you can achieve a look that suits your face shape and personal style. So why settle for a lackluster beard when you can elevate your grooming game with a professional beard trim? Book your appointment today with Nelson's Barber Club and experience the difference. Nelson will welcome you with a smile and open arms. read more

Great experience! Emory was very detailed with every cut, Nelson was also kind enough to come and tweak the haircut with a different set of eyes. 10/10 will be returning. read more

Great haircut, great atmosphere. Small shop with Nelson and Emory - classic barber vibes mixed with current trends. Nelson got exactly what I was looking for. Definitely will be going back read more

Seriously, wow! I helped my husband schedule a haircut as it had been many months since his last one. One of the unfortunate things that happen when you move is that you lose your favorite person who cut your hair just the way you want it. So, you stall and stall and you keep waiting until you can't wait anymore. My husband was beyond elated with how Nelson cut his hair. He said that even though his previous barber was really great, Nelson was absolutely incredible. "This is like THE best haircut I have had in a very long time," he remarked, and my husband is the pickiest person I know when it comes to cutting hair. Nelson took his time and is very skilled with the scissors. My husband was used to having his hair done many years ago with scissors when he lived in the east coast, but since moving from there, everyone he has gone to uses clippers. He said the vibe was nice and pleasant and he felt welcome and comfortable. He feels that he has finally found someone who really knows how to cut hair. Nelson also gave him helpful tips on the care of his hair. By the way, his hair looks awesome!! read more

Decided to go to Nelson's after seeing all the great reviews on Yelp, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I loved the vibe of the shop. Small, but very comfortable. Only two barbers (the owner and an employee) so not a lot of noise (very relaxing). I got my cut from Nelson, and not only did he do a great job but he was a pleasure to chat with. I'm 32 years old, and take my style/looks seriously. Nelson immediately understood what I was looking for - actually took the words right out of my mouth when I tried explaining what I wanted done. Left there beyond satisfied and will be going to Nelson from here on out! Highly recommend! read more

After seeing a few positive reviews on the yelp website I decided to try out his services. First visit the haircut was acceptable as he followed my wishes and styled it nicely. On my next visit I became a little anxious as he was ready to start the haircut before asking how I wanted it cut. After I instructed him to keep the back long and the sides over the top of my ear. After the haircut was finish the back was completely cut shorter than I requested. and the sides were cut too short above my ear. Because of this I will not be a returning client. read more

Happy we found this barbershop! My son liked his haircut and Nelson was very professional. Great experience and we will definitely be back.

Had my second haircut with Nelson yesterday. Just as good as the first cut. It is easy to book your appointment, reasonable price at $35, and Nelson is also very efficient. He's able to knock out a professional cut in 30 minutes without making you feel rushed. He also let me try a high-end ($60) hair product which was cool. He cuts in a studio with just himself there. Laid back atmosphere compared to other shops Ive been in which can get loud and sometimes annoying read more

I am also a barbershop "refugee" but I must say... Nelson really is the man. He shaped me up really nice with an awesome haircut. Thank you Nelson! read more

Nelson is a true master of his craft and gentleman. After having to find a new barber due to work and school schedules, I stumbled upon this shop on good ole Yelp. At first I wasn't sure where to park or enter, but once you make it through the keypad on the front door it's self explanatory. The shop is in a cozy suite, down a hallway, suitable for living if you were to ask me. But don't let the size fool you! Nelson had everything needed for a complete haircut. Which included an autoclave machine for sterilization, flat screen TV, circulating fan, hair sink, and drawers equipped with everything needed. The price was a standard $35 not including my tip, but let me tell you it was well worth it! My haircut was definitely 2 weeks overdue so I looked like an Asian Chia Pet, but was done start-to-finish within an hour, and not ALL barbers can thoroughly cut Asian hair. This not only included the cut, but also a relaxing shampoo, and hot shave w/ straight razor. If you're in the area and need a great, professional barber, then Sonnies Barbershop is for you! read more

Nelson took great care of me and gave me a 5 star haircut. I was very impressed with the combination of scissor/razors as you don't see that often in a barber shop. Looking forward to going back time and time again. read more

The new location is nice and quiet. The service is truly personal. One cut at a time. Thank you -- great cut!

Hubby loves this place...with a real trained barber who takes his skill as an art not just a paycheck. Hubbys hair looks good for first time in 7 years. Like sexy! Only hard part: he books up n appts are hard to get. read more

Finding a barber who actually knows what he is doing with my teen's thick hair is not easy to find!! He did such a great job!!! Grewt cut, but also just a great full service experience. Highly recommend!! read more

First time haircut with Nelson. I told him I was a "barbershop refugee." I've lived in Boca for two years after 30 years in CT. I went to only two barbers in CT over 30 years - one for 18 and a second for 12. I've tried several barbers in Boca over the last two years, but hadn't found anyone who did a good, let alone a great, job. My search is over! Nelson is The Man! He gave me a great haircut - even better than the two barbers I used for a combined 30 years in CT. Maybe the best haircut of my life - and I'm 64. As a bonus, Nelson is a great guy. Very professional, very friendly. My refugee status is ended. Thanks, Nelson! read more

Please visit Sonnies Barbershop. Nelson is a master . I just moved from New York and looking for a barber, well his yelp reviews are extremely accurate. I got my head-shaved,beard trimmed,and my beard colored ( those nasty little grey hairs ) I loved my look . I already booked another appointment and I'm thrilled to have found my barbershop read more

First time ever going to a barber at 30 years old and not once did I feel uncomfortable even when I didn't know what kind of haircut I wanted he just pulled up photos gave me options and made it easy! 10/10 would recommend to a friend! read more

Amazingly good!! Nelson is very organized. Kind of hard to find, but worth it. Got the best cut I 've gad

Like most of us guys, I have had my hair cut by local establishments, chain shops, places with one chair and places with a dozen chairs. Of them all, Sonnies is far and away the best. If you are looking for a great haircut and/or a fantastic shave, this is the place. The owner/barber has recently moved from a Men's Barber/Products chain to his own place. He does such a good job, I followed him. More than a barber, he is also a also a barber trainer, so he has been trusted to groom (yes, pun intended) newly hired barbers. He cuts hair exactly as requested, and it is perfect every time. His shaves are close and styled to perfection. And if asked, he will make recommendations based on what might look good on you. He can carry a good conversation or stay silent, based on your desires and mood at the time. Sonnies is the only place in south Florida, to my knowledge, that carries Truefitt & Hill products. Yes, the same Truefitt & Hill from England. They are top-of-the line products, but he will not push them on you. Rather, he uses them as part of his services, and is glad to sell to you if asked. Not pushy at all, which is a breath of relief. The place is clean, relaxing and I will continue to go there for years. He is open until 7:00 p.m. Tuesday - Sunday, but the last appointment he schedules is 6:30 p.m. Congrats to Nelson on his new place, Sonnies Barber Shop! read more

Nelson's Barber Club - Barbers Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Nelson is an absolutely incredible barber. I've moved around a lot, and it's always hard to find someone to cut my hair in a new town. When I moved to the Boca Raton area, Nelson quickly became my go-to barber--the man just has a gift for cutting hair! I always leave with a haircut that's even better than what I was hoping for. He's also done a great job of teaching me how to style my hair myself, which is super helpful. I've since moved again (and have yet to find a barber who can give me a haircut like Nelson can), but whenever I'm back in the Boca area, one of the first things I do is book a haircut at Nelson's Barber Club. If it wasn't already clear, I HIGHLY recommend Nelson's Barber Club! read more

Nelson is amazing! Perfect for a quick shave or haircut for the entire family. Highly flexible with scheduling, he often extends his normal hours to accommodate our schedule. My kids actually look forward to coming here. read more

Did a great job shaping up my fiancé's beard. Was very quick, excellent price. We will definitely be coming back.

Best haircut I've had in my life. 1 chair shop with extreme attention to detail. Nelson is a master at his work. I definitely recommend

Was recommended by a friend as my regular barber is no longer working. I'm glad I came to Sonnies ! Nelson is a master barber and the experience and the feel of his shop makes you feel like your in a true barbershop. I'm glad I came here as from now on Sonnies as Nelson is my new barber! read more

Nelson is hands down one of the best professional barbers in Boca Raton, if not Palm Beach County. Never disappointed. Fun to chat with while getting a primo haircut and/or beard trim or shave. read more

Nelson is what a Master Barber should be skilled in his craft, able to hold intelligent conversation, professional mannerism, and as many men know what I mean by barber shop talk... It's like when Tony Soprano went to see Dr. Melfi. Being a barber is in his pedigree. He comes from a family of barbers who have passed this art down to him and he is continuing their legacy. His skill set is unparalleled to any barber I have done business with in South Florida. I am a man who shaves his head bald due to some hair loss so my beard is all I have to express myself and my style. I started with Nelson while he was at Art of Shaving in the Town Center Mall and that was by pure chance years ago. As soon as I learned he opened his own shop I had to do what only seemed civilized and follow. His ability to shape and style beards of length is hands down the best in town. I can't count the barber shops in the local area, Man Cave, Hall of Fame, The Cutting Lounge, Next Level, Legends, and that's just to name a few, I have walked into and asked if they had someone who is experienced in beard work. Of course they all had Master Barbers who handle all the beards and as usual I left feeling violated and extremely pissed off. Beards aren't a "Oh don't worry it will grow back" thing. Gentlemen if are looking for a true experience and great outcome this is the place. If you are looking for a $15 haircut and beard trim this isn't your place. Stick to SuperCuts. As the saying goes "You get what you pay for"... read more
