Finding a barber in a new town is the thing everybody puts off the longest.

Everybody puts this one off. Then it is four months later and you still have not sat in anybody's chair.

Marco Silva has cut hair in Florida since 2016 - barbering on one side of the room, salon on the other. Fades, beard work, color and styling. Most of the new faces through the door are people who moved here months ago and have been driving back to their old town, putting it off, or taking whatever they could get on the day.

Who runs it

He cuts, and he runs the place. The person who takes the appointment is the person holding the clippers, so nothing gets promised at the desk that cannot be done in the chair.

A first visit takes longer on purpose. What worked on your hair somewhere colder does not always work here, and the humidity is not a small thing.

What they do

01
Men's haircuts
Scissor work, clipper work, or both. Told straight if what you are asking for will not sit on your head.
02
Fades and tapers
Skin, low, mid and high. Done properly rather than approximately, which is the difference you see at three weeks.
03
Beard work
Shaping, lining and a hot towel, or a straight razor finish if you want one.
04
Salon cutting and styling
Cut, blow-dry and styling on the salon side of the same room, by people who do that all day rather than as a sideline.
05
Color and highlights
Gray coverage, lightening, and the correction people need after trying it themselves at the kitchen sink.
06
Children and first haircuts
Including the ones who have decided in advance that they hate it.

Who it does not suit

It does not suit somebody who wants it done in ten minutes on the way to something else, anybody after extensions, wigs or specialist hair replacement, or mobile and at-home appointments, which are a different business.

Track record

Both sides: Barber and salon, one room
Walk-ins: Taken every day they are open

How a first visit goes

1
Say what you used to have
Bring a photograph if you have one. Describing a fade out loud has never worked for anybody.
2
He looks at your hair, not the photograph
Thickness, growth pattern, cowlicks, and how gray it actually is rather than how gray you think it is.
3
What Florida does to it
Humidity, salt, chlorine and sun. Hair behaves differently here, and a cut that ignores that grows out badly.

Clippers, scissors, a comb, a folded towel and a shaving brush laid out on a marble counter

4
The cut
Longer on the first one. The second is quicker, because somebody already knows your head.
5
What to do between visits
Two products, not eight. Which ones, how much, and when to stop.
6
Book the next one before you leave
A Saturday chair goes early, and the gap between cuts is shorter here than you are used to.

Who it suits

This suits anyone who has just moved and has not found a barber yet, and anyone who wants a fade done properly rather than approximately. It suits beard work rather than a trim with the clippers, and hair that has started behaving differently since the move. It suits color that needs correcting, and a first haircut for a child who has already decided how it is going to go.

Book the first one on a weekday. Saturdays fill up two weeks out.
