My regular hairstylist for many years took an early retirement due to back problems and I've been very apprehensive about trying someone else, since I'm very particular about how I want my hair cut. Therefore, I hadn't had my hair cut in 4 months! I searched the web for barbers and hairstylists near me, and settled on Messenger, with fingers crossed. They don't take appointments, but there was no wait at all, since it's after the tourist season. I explained to Shane how I wanted my hair cut, and he took great care to follow my Instructions perfectly. The price was reasonable ($24 for a dry scissor cut, with a three-dollar senior discount). Since my only encounter is with Shane, he's the only one I can recommend, and I do so highly. He'll be my regular barber from now on.

Great shop with super cool barber; would definitely recommend if anyone wants to have short hair however if you want medium or long hair I would advise you to go somewhere else.
Update: I did tell the guys like five times if he understood what I told him, he said yes and I even showed a picture. Once again I would really be careful in choosing your barber because even though the hair will grow back, it will still take time to grow.

A great local barber. Looks like an old fashion barber shop in there.

We are new to Sarasota. My hubby was looking for a barber so I googled barbers and Messengers was close to where we were staying so he figured he would give it a try. He loved it! Great service and conversation with that “old-time” feel.Service: Haircut

Took my son there and ended up needing to go somewhere else the next day to get the cut fixed. My son’s hair was shoulder length and he was getting a couple inches taken off. I think maybe longer men’s hair isn’t their specialty. If you have short hair I think they probably do good.

I moved to Sarasota winter 2018 & wanted a reasonable hair salon. I really like Messengers Salon & Bryan and Becky are excellent hair professionals, plus they're both kind, friendly & care about their clients needs. I recently fell, broke my hip, spent weeks recovering in the hospital & Rehab, and my long hair became a tangled impossible mess! I was in "Crisis Mode" when I called Becky. She carefully cut it and it's been the Perfect style (with many compliments!) for me! No more tangles!! Please try Messengers Salon/Barber Shop! I highly recommend it!
