We just moved to Sarasota and one of my concerns was finding a good place to get my haircut. I have only used two shops in the last 30 years. I was very spoiled. I could just sit down, and they did all the work, and they always did a fantastic job. Nick was great, he was able to pick up right where they left off. Only, this place was even better!!!! I have never been so pampered. Im use to getting a haircut, but nothing like this! I will return, as well as try out some of the other services they offer. I dont usually take the time to leave a review, but they deserve 5 stars!

This business is an enjoyable experience and the atmosphere is very relaxing. My fiancé always requests Brian- you will never be disappointed. He also has very positive experiences with the other barbers when Brian is not available. 100% recommend the signature cut.

Andy does an excellent job at trimming and shaping my long beard!

Quality barbers in a professional work place. Nick and Brian are both extremely skilled masters of their craft. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

We took our two teenage boys to get their haircuts at American shave in Sarasota and were So happy with the results. Our boys are very fussy with their hairstyle and this place nailed it! This is the best haircuts our kids ever got. The shop was spotless clean and very nicely decorated. The girl behind the desk was very kind. We highly recommend American shave. We will be back. We will be regulars.

American shave is a wonderful place for anyone. My husband and his friends were treated like kings and left feeling brand new! The services offered are abundant. Massage...hot shave...sauna...facials...nails and toes...waxing....you name it. And the attention to detail is exceptional. You wont be disappointed. Ladies...treat your man he will thank you for it

Andy 5/5 👌🏼 would definitely recommend this place over any other in Sarasota. Was able to get in same day

Place is very classy and professional. Everyone extremely polite. I get a haircut and beard trim twice a month from Brian. He amazing and I’m sure they are all amazing but I go to Brian and would not go anywhere else. Try them out and by the way I live an hour away. So it’s definitely worth the drive

My boyfriend travels to florida from out of state to visit & every few weeks he gets the best haircut from nick!!! he’s so talented & professional. highly HIGHLY recommended.

Best shave around, my boy loves to get his hair cut here!

With 28 years of otherwise wedded bliss, the one scary aspect of my wife is her reaction to my haircuts...NO MORE as she absolutely loved how Brian made me look! He is definitely my future go-to for haircuts. He is personable and skilled, plus the front desk crew were awesome, and the whole vibe at American Shave is classy.

This is the most relaxing experience I’ve ever had in a barber shop. The new location is so clean and detailed and just the smoothest flow from front to barber chair. My haircut came out amazing and Shey is so knowledgeable about products and not gonna lie I’m so happy about my cut lol

Cheryl us absolutely AWESOME. LOVE HER and American Shave. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I just received my favorite hair cut here, Shay hooked it up, prefect cut and she was efficient. I was in and out in 35-40 minutes. I found my barber.

If you’re looking for a great haircut at a good price, this is where you should go. Izzy is the best. His attention to detail has made him one of the best barbers I have experienced. The straight razor shave and hot towels are a nice touch.

The shop was clean, the staff friendly. Barber Brian was on-schedule, courteous, competent and professional. Cannot ask for more than that. I got a full razor shave of the head, and plan to maintain that myself, but when I need barber services again, I know exactly where I am going :-)

Great experience!! First straight shave Ive ever had and it was amazing!! Highly recommend Nick!

I was 5 min late to a completely empty establishment and they wouldnt do a 5min beard trim. I will never go back and I have no idea if theyre any good or not. The epitome of PPOR customer service.

Very very good experience. First time here was nervous about a new to my hair barber, but Brian was the greatest. Him and Nick were the best and, most accomidating. As a walk in with no appointment they squeezed us into thier busy schedule, which might I add was during thier lunch break. Super clean, friendly helpful staff, nice owners with many years of experience with thier craft. You wont be disappointed with a visit here. Nice haircuts, atmosphere, and COVID CDC guidelines followed exceptionally. Will definitely be back, and recommend to any and everyone. I promise to make an appointment next time though. 😁

Place was great. Brian was awesome and I recommend this place! I got a fade and beard trim. Will be back.

American Shave is awesome! It is so clean and professional, looks like it’s brand new, and the barbers are legit. Best place I’ve been to in Sarasota. This is the only place I’ll go to from now on!!

Best haircut Ive had in years going to make another appointment tomorrow actually. There edging and razor job is on point its a comfortable environment and they offer you beverages while waiting. Its the man cave of a salon. Absolutely love it

Awesome place! And Awesome cut!

Great place! I will definitely go back.

I love these guys. As a female, I enjoy a guys haircut and hate to get the awkward looks in a fancy salon and dont want to pay high prices. The guys at American Shave treat me like a valued customer. Brian gives me the best fade. His attention to detail is why I keep going back. The atmosphere is clean and comfortable. I highly recommend my guys at American Shave!

Great experiance. Everyone was professional and very accommodating. Great effort and care of thier skills is clearly represented by thier work. I will 100% be returning.

Best of the best! Professional, caring, and simply a great experience! Would highly recommend!

Great work, heavy attention to detail. Super clean and super pleasant staff. Place is really spotless.

Impeccably clean and professional place this place is worth going there once and you want to go back again

Came down from NY and was looking for a place that would match my barber up north. The place looks great, the design is very cool; very man cave like. Quality barbers and cool products. Obviously great hair cuts. Two thumbs up.

I have been going to American Shave and working with Brian since 2016. Brian is professional, polite, accommodating and just an all around nice guy who is great at his job. My son got his first haircut from “Mr. Brian” and he’s as good with kids as he his with adults. I enjoy my American Shave experience.

My wife found this place over a year ago for me. I didn’t know how I felt about going there but I went and Brian was and is my barber. When I tell you he is beyond a skilled barber is not doing him justice. And American shave as a barbershop is a top notch facility, I would highly recommend everyone go there and ask for Brian.

My son has gone there several times now and sees Izzy upon a referral from a friend who also goes there. The environment there is clean, relaxing and inviting. The service is great! appointments are always available and there is very little to no wait when arriving and every there is friendly and helpful. My sons hair always looks great is and is exactly what he asked for.

Nick has cut my hair for almost 5 years at this point. Couldnt imagine going anywhere else! Pleasant atmosphere and experience every time.

I am 73 years old, and in my entire life, have never had a worse haircut. Benjamin was the barber. A nice enough person, but not a qualified barber. I will be wearing a hat for at least three weeks. I look like a squirrel. You’re nuts to go there.After I left this review I was contacted by Nick, the owner, the same evening of my experience. He met me at the shop and did a “touch up” the next day. He did the best he could and I,can now go out without a hat. I’d now go back, but ask for Nick.

Izzy is great, Great Customer Service and Talented Barber, Five Stars!

Been going here for months now and have been having Rey cut my hair and it’s been awesome! Cut is done to my liking every time and the beard treatment is top notch. Rey and the rest of the team at American Shave have always provided great quality work and customer service.

Great haircut, relaxing atmosphere, and nice people. What more could you ask for? Shoutout to Izzy for the amazing cut.

Excellent work! Rey is an Artist. A Quality cut a a fair price.

Amazing highly recommended nice friendly girl in there

High end barbershop with quality barbers, brian was excellent with the fade and the scissors, a must for a quality barber! Highly recommend!

The people at American shave are straight up professionals and good at what they do .....

Visiting from out of town - where I didnt have a chance to go to my normal barber before leaving on vacation. Not only did Amanda listen to what I was going for – and give me one of the best barber cuts Ive had – but she was great to connect with. Totally great experience. Love the vibe. But best of all, love the cut. Thanks so much!

Today was my first time getting a hair cut here. Blew my mind the service that he provided. Amazing hair cut but the hot shave was life changing. No exaggeration, you need to experience this.

Ive been going here for almost 3 years. I get a haircut and massage each time I go and the service is always amazing and the value is great. The co-owner Nick is great too. He always try to help any way he can. If your on the fence I definitely recommend checking them out.

My husband and two sons have been coming here for the past few months and there’s no need to go anywhere else! They always leave looking as handsome as ever! Benjamin is super friendly and accommodating for my wiggly four year old. Couldn’t ask for a better barber! I highly recommend American Shave!

Best place in town for a haircut and shave. I have been there several times with Nick and going back again in a couple weeks. He has been awesome every time. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed. Im sure the other hair stylists are also great, the other customers all seemed very happy every time I have been there.

Greatest place to get a haircut period. Nick was amazing and took very little time to get me the perfect cut. Make sure you book your appointment fast because like a good barbershop should they book up really fast.

Izzy is great. Super detailed and professional. Love this place. They spoil you.

Great mens shoppe

Employees really kind and clean !

Amazing service !! 5 star !! I recommend Nick🔥

Id give 6 stars if i could. Lorenzo, the barber, was great! Such a nice dude who is a really talented barber. This place was awesome on every level. Cold brew while you wait for you cut, friendly staff, and the hair cut was the best one Ive ever got. I was checking out and expecting a $45 bill. Nope. $25.. You have to go check this place out when you need your next haircut. Ill be coming back every single time from now on. Great job guys

Benjamin did an outstanding job, my son gets his haircut from here, so after many failed beard trim and shape at other places I took my sons advice, best choice ever made. Benjamin did perfect with the best results.

Love this place! Always treated like gold.

Service is always consistent. My son has been very happy with each barber he has been to. Highly recommend.

New cutting edge location. Worth checking out for a first class experience if you havent been yet. Exceptional service. Highly recommend.

Coming from Canada, Ben had given me my best barbershop experience to date hands down! He explained exactly what I wanted him to do without me even telling him! This place is lit, well worth my money.

This place definitely lives up to its name American shave. 👐 My 5 year old son got a basic fade 0 on the side 3 on top and it might be the best haircut he has ever got. Great location, great atmosphere, excellent service A++! Jessica at the front desk was very friendly and Brain the barber did an awesome job! They also have complimentary soda and beer.

Best place in Sarasota to get a haircut or a simple beard trim. They also do more than just the simple stuff. Nick along with all the staff at American Shave are fantastic. Nick is THE best when it comes to making you look good. Ask for him. You wont be disappointed.

Lorenzo was fantastic! I’ve been trying to find a new place to get my 3 year old son’s hair cut. The last place cut his hair all sorts of uneven. Lorenzo was attentive and took his time. My son was so pleased with his haircut he wanted to go back right away. We definitely will return!

The best 👌

Ben was fabulous he made my son’s request come to life and was incredibly kind and incredibly welcoming.

Relaxing environment and very welcoming.

This is the barbershop to go to in Sarasota, service is always excellent! Nick, you are awesome!

Best haircut ever!

Have lived in the neighborhood for years. Finally got a chance to stop in. While still under renovation I was pleasantly surprised. Cool music vibe, friendly staff. Got a great haircut from nick. Looking forward to the other services offered in the future.

Fantastic experience! Timely, friendly, and of course a great haircut

The ambiance, presentation, and customer service at American Shave was great, but that is all it delivered on. If I was there for a good chat and a beer I would have given this place five stars, but sadly they fell drastically short on the actual haircut. I spent forty five minutes in a chair and gave the barber a lot of leeway to do a cut she felt comfortable with. Sadly, I left American Shave with horrible fade lines all across the back of my head that I didnt see till I got home, four cuts from the razor on the back of my neck, and hair that looked like it was styled by a tornado. Beautiful place, great list of offered service, but terrible delivery on what you are essentially there for, the haircut.

American Shave is an outstanding barbershop! I am female, and I have the sides of my hair faded because I have a short hair on the sides. My stylist is in Naples and I have to get trimmed up every two weeks. Unfortunately womens salons do not know how to use clippers nor will they cut my sides because it is so short. Brian is amazing!! Not only does he give me the best cut, he is a real gentleman! I have been to barbershops all over Sarasota and Bradenton and he is hands-down the best one! Brian keep up the good work!!!

I love this place. Definitely worth the price. Brian is an absolute artist! The products they use are awesome too. They use a single blade razor to “edge” you up too.

I have been going to American Shave for a little over a year now. First haircut today with Andrew! Everyone there does an awesome job, but Andrew killed it today. I have never been partial as to who does my hair there, but definitely going to request Andrew from now on.Not to mention I was in a time crunch and he knocked out my hair cut and eyebrows in 30 minutes flat, and it was damn good.

Great place for a great haircut. Lorenzo cut my hair and it was exactly how I wanted it and more. Perfect fade. Thank you Lorenzo for a great haircut and great customer service.

Ive been going here for a while now for both haircuts and beard trims. Cheryl is fantastic at both and is extremely personable as well as professional. If youre looking for a great atmosphere and walking out completely satisfied with the experience, make an appointment and ask for Cheryl. You wont be disappointed.

Dont get an appointment with Nico. He gave me the worst high and tight military cut ever. I came in with a thick mop of hair and he went ahead and shaved a 2 all the way up my head and left a little spot on the top of my head long without blending for fading anything out. Its too short to fix without just shaving it all off. Cutting my own hair next time.

Great place to get a haircut! And dont stop there - skilled barbers, amazing massage therapist, friendly reception, flexible scheduling. My girlfriend calls this place a Men Spa and she is right (as always). Check it out.

Really good place for a haircut. Friendly, attentive to detail, and professional. Nick did a great job for my first time visit, working off some older photos I had taken months ago. I will definite return here next year.

American Shave is the best mens barber shop in Sarasota. All of the barbers are focused on high quality haircuts. The environment is relaxing, they sell great hair products, and they have complimentary beer/soda for customers. You wont find a better place in Sarasota that offers mens grooming, waxing, and massage services at a great price. Dont waste your time at another place, like Supercuts, that doesnt really care about your hair. Just spend the extra $7 at American Shave to get a much better experience. Ive been getting my hair cut by Nick for almost a year now, and he is awesome! You will not be disappointed at American Shave.

Service and atmosphere are impeccable. I had a shave and haircut from Brian, and he was amazing. Steady hands and very well trained. I would definitely recommend him, or any of their awesome staff.

This place was a 5 star establishment Ive been many times. I went in today, expecting the same good cut and service. While service was still there I was charged more and got less. I cant even call the fade, a fade, I have patches of hair longer in areas around the back and side of my head. I actually had to shave when I got home because even though I paid for a shave, what I really got was an edging, the barber took a razor to my face with no shaving cream and electric shaved my throat, leaving patches of hair left in place. When I questioned the bill, I was told prices went up. I said but I got less (no real shave, no shampoo/wash). The receptionist just shrugged. I cant see myself going back here now unfortunately.

Very cool establishment. High quality barbers and services. Monthly membership available and top notch service every visit. Justin runs a solid shop and Kimberly gives amazing haircuts with close attention to detail. Highly recommend American Shave for anyone looking for a good manscaping.

From the moment I walked in they treated me right. Highly recommended. Also I was able to get a consultation during my facial and leashed how to keep my face looking like a just got one. Also the shave felt void and it was done before i knew it.Thank you American Shave.

Exceptional work! Brian is a true mens barber. His hair cuts are precision and his shaves are smooth and painlessI recommend him highly.

Great high end experience. Well worth the price. Not too expensive for the service you get.

American Shave turns a hair cut into luxurious experience. From the moment you walk through the door you are treated with 5 star white glove service. I highly recommend a American Signature Shave and American Signature Cut. You will not regret it. Sit back relax and get ready to be pampered.

Great service. Great vibes. Reasonable prices. This is my second time here and i will be coming here from now on.

Ben gave me an awesome haircut, along with a complementary shave! Great conversation too. Trendy, stylish place to relax while getting worked on.

Very cool place, Great service. Brian does a great job. And how do you beat free beer and coffee while you wait? Highly recommended

I recently came in and Brian was the stylist who cut my hair. He did an amazing job and was very prompt and professional. I highly recommend Brian or anyone at this salon! I wont go anywhere else!

Brians the best! .This is my second cut and I purchased a coupleof gift certificates for my friends to enjoyBrian keep up the good work! Thanks

It does not matter which barber cuts your hair they are all so good. They are consistent and professional - the best in town and it is not close.

Outstanding job

We just came in here for the first time and my son age 4 has never had a great hair cut until today! This child came out of there stylin and profiling! I am so happy with our barber Alex! He did a fantastic job and I highly recommend this place! We will be regulars from this point on!

Great service. Been going here for over a year and never had a bad experience. Nick is great!

Excellent service, excellent atmosphere. Overall excellent place for a guy to get a cut and get lost from all the stuff for a while. Highly recommended.

Precise cuts, lines and grooms Without a wait or delay! Highly recommended 🌟

Everytime I go its delightful I sit down pop open a FREE soda and my appointment is on time always. Nick is wonderful he knows exactly what I want and does it better than I could ever imagine and he actually knows me and remembers past conversations as opposed to barbers who are in it just for the money.over all I love this place and I will continue to treat myself to their wonderful treatments and personalities.

Walked in on a busy day and they were nice enough to get me squeezed in, even gave me a free shampoo as a first visit gift. Nick absolutely hooked me up; as a guy who never writes reviews, I can say this was the best haircut Ive had in 27 years, Im a lifelong customer, and complimentary beers? Your crazy if you dont try this place out.

Great customer service and Rey is highly recommend

Cheryl is an excellent barber and provides a superb face shave. She is highly recommended, plus the shop is neat and clean and the prices are reasonable for the excellent services that they provide to the client.
