I have been going to Melos since I moved here in May, and go back every two weeks. My haircut has been perfect every time and I am a very picky person when it comes to my hair. Nebal and Melo know exactly what they are doing. I explain what I want, and they make it happen. If you either live in the local area, or are just visiting and need a place to get a fresh cut; I would HIGHLY recommend going to see any barber here. You get exactly what you pay for and it comes out excellent every time. Keep up the great work gentleman!
My son went in for a haircut and the staff was fantastic. However, the lady at the front desk asked my son if he was leaving a cash tip and he said no he didn’t have enough cash on hand to leave a cash tip. He left a 25% tip on the credit card. She then told him next time to bring a cash tip. Just wow!
My son and I were in from out of town and stopped in for a cut. What a FANTASTIC shop and convenient location. We were greeted immediately and sat within seconds. Top-notch professional barbers that take great pride in their skill. I’ve seen Lenny mentioned more than a few times in other reviews. I had him and one of the only barbers I’ve ever had that shook my hand before and after - a true professional! Great cut and experience overall, just wished we had a Melo’s at home! Thanks for the great cuts!
Coming from up North, a barbershop has to have certain qualities that make you feel at home, Melo’s has never disappointed. Good atmosphere, great music, and after going for almost 3 years since moving here I have never seen a lack of professionalism or friendliness here. Greatest place to get a haircut from in Orlando in my opinion. Melo has always cut my hair to perfection and always make me feel like I’m welcomed. 5 star service every visit.- Mike
My husband book an appointment with Lenny do to the great reviews he saw, it certainly didn’t disappoint. The best service he has had, the attention to detail, the hot towel shave is one of a kind service that made his experience above and beyond. The place is nice and clean, but what will make him return is the professionalism and the quality of service provided by Lenny, the BEST BARBER, highly recommended.
Walked in, was greeted by the owner and immediately seated for the next available slot. My barber took 3 seconds to look at the picture of a hair cut I wanted and was off to the races. They did an amazing job and where very attentive to detail. I would absolutely recommend this shop 11/10 times across the board.
Melo’s Barbershop is absolutely THE BEST! I have been going here for a couple of years now, and they never disappoint. Every single person in the barbershop has always been so welcoming and kind, and they are always super kind to new people just coming in. Everything from the first step in the door to the last step out is amazing and I couldn’t recommend this location more! My personal barber is Juan Carlos, and EVERY SINGLE TIME, he is the ABSOLUTE BEST! He takes his time, focuses on the little details, and perfects any type of cut you ask for. Even though I go to Juan Carlos, I’ve seen that same exact professionalism from every barber in the shop. They truly are amazing in every way!
Fantastic barber shop. Melo greeted me as soon as I walked in and Lenny took me a couple minutes early for my appointment. Lenny’s work exceeded my expectations. There were no up charges for little guy things like eyebrows, ears, sideburns and neck clean ups that I have experienced at other barber shops. Definitely one of my best haircuts in my 50- something years.
Great place! The chairs are the best and I can see that the barbers are professional, Litle bit pricey but it’s a nice place.
Barber - NildosCut - 0 to #2 taper, half inch off the top, comb over.Price - Im from out of town. Priced exactly what I pay my barber back home. Check the website for your options.Shop is clean, all barber chairs occupied with clients, and staff is very professional. Its a Friday evening and I didnt have to wait. Made an appointment online. Extremely happy with the cut. Nildos blended in the sides and back perfectly. Finished cleaning up my edges with a straight razor.Thanks for the great cut!
I scheduled a haircut with Melo for first time and was not disappointed. This place is very professional, family oriented and Melo is a class act. He has a very good sense of humor and his fades are on point! Well definitely visit again in the future.
Ive been here a few times.. the first couple were okay, I had to come back home and do some fixing myself afterwards... but the last time my appointment was with Nabal and he did a great job. Satisfied with my experience overall. Will be back for my next haircut.
Visited Melo’s for the first time today. I had a low fade by Lenny. I’ve tried A LOT of barbers, but this is honestly the best hair cut I’ve ever had! I live 2 hours away and will definitely be making the drive again. 🙌🏻
Lenny was great! Very affordable and did exactly what I asked. Very Spanish friendly which Is cool!
Melos Barbershop is the premier barbershop in Orlando. Melo is a master of his craft. I have been getting my haircut from Melo for the past 2 years, and he has never disappointed. In fact, I no longer work or live in the area, yet I still make the 50 minute drive on i4 to go get my haircut from him. Very responsible with timing, and very consistent with the quality of his work.
This is the best barbershop in the area. Jeremiah is a class act and one of the best barbers I’ve ever been to. Highly recommended.
Went in for the first time today. And the first thing that happened were two employees arguing with each other over a person that came back because their beard was not trimmed properly. Let that go and saw the people leaving before me and their hair looked great. Then it was my turn. During my haircut another person walked in complaining that his sideburns were not cut evenly by the guy that was cutting my hair. After the hair cut I thought it looked good from the distance I was at in the chair, but when I got home I noticed the back had a straight line across and wasn’t faded. So I went back to get this fixed and thankfully it was fixed. Then again returned home and upon further inspection I noticed I have a patch of hair missing on the right side of my head now. I had high hopes, but am thoroughly disappointed. Went back to get things fixed just to come back with a new problem.
Pretty good, but, every barber needs to know how to cut black peoples hair.
Melos is near my office and I wanted to find a barber I could build a relationship with. Since I didnt yet know anyone here I did not select a preferred barber. I can only assume Jose was their bottom of the barrel. The haircut was okay. I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he did something that was remotely similar, though not what Id hoped for. The shave was painful, inconsistent, and left me with a rash and bleeding. Where I went before gave me straight blade shaves so I am not brand new to them, but this is by far the worst I have ever experienced.I know they just reopened and I dont want to hurt small businesses, but I couldnt find an email address or any other way to share my experience. I hope there is some explanation for this other than that they just have really bad barbers along with the good ones who created the experience most of the other reviewers posted.I will definitely never be back. Hopefully Ill heal up in a couple of days.
Excellent place, they always get it right.
Got a cut and beard trim there on vacation. Barber lined up my beard exactly how I like it, and there was next to no wait. Would definitely go there again when I am in town.
Reviews seemed great but the barber I got didn’t do a clean fade and hair was shorter than wanted. But hair grows back out
Jeremiah is the best! This guys are super pro! Come with appointment, they are always busy. Everything super clean!
Double booked appointments to start off so delayed the start of the haircut. Distracted throughout the haircut and on cell phone. Rushed throughout the haircut to get to next customer. Overcharged for services at the end. Go to sports clips, old star barbershop, nicks instead
Incredible barber shop! I’m from Miami and have a plethora of barbers to choose from and Melo stands out by far as one of the most talented barbers as he pays very close attention to detail. Extremely clean and even made a gentleman put on a mask which shows he is a very positive leader and cares about his customers and the other barbers health. Will definitely be back worth the 3 hr drive
Very professional and classy shop. Always get a good cut when Im here.
They did an amazing job on my son and Husbands hair.
Fast great service! I think I found my new barbershop
I travel to about three different cities per week and Melos Barber Shop is in my top three barbers where Ive gotten my haircut (the other two barber shops on my top three are in Aberdeen Scotland and in NYC).Melos Barber shop and Melo (Barber) has a warm and friendly (Latin) atmosphere with a real sense of pride for their work... And it shows through out the process and end results. You can feel how much they care about their clients bc they listen and take their time through the consultation process.Thank you, Melo! Ill definitely visit again next time Im in town, hermano!
In and out relatively quick and the barber did a stellar job. Highly recommend!
Had a great time with Jeremy. Wife signed me up for the everything. Jeremy went all out, super cool. Im not used to a barbershop like this; with class and talent. Im used to Aveda and Supercuts. Wife talked to Jeremy, didnt use clipper numbers or fade degrees or anything; he just knew. He could see the cowlicks in my hair before I mentioned them, and he did an amazing job on the haircut. I literally gave him no directions, she showed him a picture, end result is I looked amazing.After that was a face massage and a straight razor shave. Pro tip, Melo, if youre listening. When someones doing a straight razor shave for the first time, dont switch to Christmas music right when the blade touches skin. It was November, I wasnt ready for that. Obviously, Jeremy is very blade-conscientious. Amazing shave.Now, the reason for me giving 4 stars instead of five or more is the later visits. (Not with Jeremy) I dont remember the second guys name, but I was just there for a haircut. It was fine, he was proficient, everyone left happy.The third time, I got some guy that I can only assume Melo is helping out. I showed up, and he had to be enticed off his phone and the couch. From there, it was a rough interrogation. First answer shouldnt have to be a haircut. Second, its not my job to know settings, clipper numbers, et al. Its only been a few weeks; just do what I have, but shorter. Asking me so many questions when Ive been coming to your company for the last two haircuts since November really made me nervous, and it was the haircut I was happiest to just get out of the chair for.I guess the TL;DR is Jeremy is awesome, and definitely request him. Ive never looked better and seen my wife so happy after a haircut.
My barber Westly was great. The female owner was rude.
I called up to set an appointment and whom ever answered the phone was rude from the start. I would not give them any money just cause of the person on the phone.
If you want a typical, run of the mill haircut, this is likely the place for you. I provided the barber with a picture of how my hair was cut immediately after my last haircut and after a brief glance, the barber shrugged it off and disingenuously assured me that he could complete a similar look. Based on my rating you can probably tell that my hair turned out less than satisfactory. If the barber would have been honest and admitted a lack of competence with performing the same haircut, I would have gladly waited for another or gotten my hair cut elsewhere. I also had to go to a different barber to fix my beard as this barber left it choppy and poorly lined.Secondly, the barber was consistently wiping hair off of the equipment before ever touching my hair with it. Being that I was the first customer of the day, I dont know where the hair could have come from other than from not being cleaned the day prior.Overall the experience was less than pleasurable and certainly not worth the price, especially considering the plethora of available barbers in the area that can easily be booked on the app Booksy.
Lorenzo did a great job and made my experience as a new customer easy.
So unfortunately I was a no show for an appointment at this place twice. The first time the appointment auto booked me and I ignored it. The second time was on me, I got incredibly busy at work blah blah blah, and couldnt make it. I recieved a stern message from someone I can only assume runs the business, that I felt was a little uncalled for. Dont think Ill be getting a fade here anytime soon, or ever again.
Best barbershop! Juan Carlos cut my hair today and did an excellent job. Everything was clean and everyone wore masks. I am a local and am proud to support Melo’s business! Great job every time!
Great haircut,Jeremy was very professional .G from Connecticut
In town for a week and inquired with my AMEX concierge for a hair cut and beard trim in the area. They sent 4 recommenced places and after reviewing google reviews I picked this one. I am ecstatic with the outcome.Probably the cleanest haircut and beard trim I’ve ever had. I had the beard colored too which they didn’t normally do, as I washed it out at the hotel, but no cause for concern as he walked me through the process before I left. The straight blade and scissors fade and style of my hair and beard is the best I’ve ever had. I wanted to be cleaned up and am very pleased. I wish there was a shop like this back home. Everyone was nice and the owner was very welcoming. Excellent choice of music. Every chair was full when I arrived so I was happy that I made an appointment.I’m always worried about getting my hair cut while out of town but this place is incredible. Not only was the guy who cut my hair, Lorenzo, absolutely professional at what he does, everyone else cutting looked like they were on point, so you won’t have to worry about being stuck with a “bad barber” if you’re visiting from out of town. Go here, you will not be disappointed.Thanks again
Been coming here for a few months now after trying out different shops in the area. Very friendly and welcoming and the haircuts and trims are always top tier regardless of which barber you get. I’ll never go anywhere else.
Don’t go here. They are racist against white people who don’t speak Spanish and are Dominican. They purposely overcharged me for my son’s hair cut but lowered the price after I caught them. They even charged me for edging my sons hair after leaving long chunks of hair and not cutting it evenly. I had to send my son back 3 times for them to get his hair cut right and even. We didn’t tip and before we left we got reprimanded for it. What an awful experience we won’t be back. My son is 9 and ended up crying because of it. We don’t recommend this place for white people.
Great place! Great atmosphere! The talent here is never lacking. The communication is outstanding, and they make you feel right at home, even with the simplest haircut. Ive never had a bad cut or shave coming here, and its a pleasure to come back here every time to get cleaned up. I will forever come back here as long as they exist, and I will be sure that when I have kids, they get their hair cut here as well.You guys continue to do what you do and dont change for anything. You officially have a lifelong customer!
Great barber shop. These guys stand out above other shops. Jose is a great barber who also is very friendly. I have been going here for almost a year. Will definetly recommend to my friends.
Mr Melo provided me exceptional service twice this year. What stands out the most is his ability to listen and His attention to details. I received my best cutts of 2020 from Mr Melo. Looking forward to my next visit. Oh and never have I heard profanity or offensive remarks while there, they run 🏃♀️ a clean 🧽 program. Chill Will
When I moved to Orlando, It was very hard to find that one barber, until I came here. Melo knew exactly what style I wanted and the perfect length since my hair grows very fast. Staff is friendly and barbers are very professional.. Definitely recommend Melos 👌🏼
Have been using their services for couple of year and they do great job every time.We go to Jose and he’s awesomeThank you
Over 10 years cutting my hair with this man highly recommended short distance from.....orlando airport family owned u get the luxury of a very spacious and comfortable waiting room with the perk of a fine cut with the best machines out there.....Really nice ppl.
Marisol took great care of me! The atmosphere was laid back and everybody was very welcoming. The shop was super clean and I enjoyed watching all the barbers/stylists working with the clients to get the perfect cut/style for each person. FYI though men may be featured in most of their photos, Melo’s can assist ANYONE in achieving a fantastic look! I was happy to see color, facial waxing, and styling services can be booked as well! It can get super busy so I would recommend making an appointment. I love the fact that I can make an appointment through Instagram...how convenient! Who knew this amazing place was next to my apartment?! I’m extremely happy with my cut and will definitely be returning! Perfect for convention goers and anyone looking for a great cut, shave, and amazing service!
Gerry was great! He gave me a quick, professional cut, finishing up with some clean straight edge work. We also had a good talk, thank you for your service! Im scheduling a pre-new years facial next week. Melos is a great barber shop away from home.
I have been coming to this shop for almost a year. I used to have a solid barber named Geo. He and the owner Melo decided to part ways a few months back so I didn’t want to switch shops due to how close it is to my house. I switched to Melo himself. I’ve never once had an appointment start when scheduled. I can only think that is because he likes to hear himself talk more than actually cut people’s hair. They have lost my business going forward. If you are actually wanting to stick to a schedule don’t get your hair cut here. Decent hair cuts no clue how to operate a business.
I came into town and was looking for a haircut. I got there right before they closed and they still fit me in even though it caused them to stay later, not to mention the cut was top notch. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality haircut in a welcoming environment.
I went looking for a specific haircut style and I arrive to this barbershop and I seat I think it was in the third chair with this guy, his very fast, he dedicate to cut my hair with detail without getting distract. He made exactly what I told him to do. Excellent environment and I found my new barbershop and new barber, recommend 100% for everyone.
Melo always makes time for me even when hes booked. Shop is nice and clean and the girl up front is super fine. 10/10
Always have a fantastic experience here! I live around the corner but to go elsewhere because I assumed it was overly expensive and I don’t like trying new barbers anyway. I’m so glad I decided to go here which is so convenient and reasonably priced. EVERY barber here is great and it’s hard to pick a favorite. Melo the owner and always extremely personable and friendly. Mike is my regular barber now. He’s amazing.
I am in town for a business trip. I wasn’t able to get into my barbershop before I left. I was scrambling for a haircut and beard trim. I call melo’s and they got me in. As soon as I walked in, I was able to get into gerrys chair right away. He was amazing. Really a great experience. Decent price for a great cut. Went from rough and rugged to cleaned up in no time.
Great haircut! Im really picky about who cuts my hair and getting fades even more so because not everyone can give a good fade. Walked in and felt completely comfortable with Rob taking of my hair. Left with a great cut, feel like a million bucks and ready for the weekend. The shop is really nice, good atmosphere and staff as well. This is my new go to, Ive been looking for a new barber and after the less than memorable experiences Ive found a new spot.
Horrible cut and service don’t go here
You will get excellent service with attention to detail; but that also means theyll take as long as needed. If you dont have a reservation - and possibly even if you do - bring a book and be prepared to be a while. This isnt Supercuts.
I went to this Barber Shop and Ive had and amazing experience. I had the pleasure to know Gerry and He was super professional and got the job done. I recommend the place and Gerry.
So a not so great experience today...Keeping in mind Im a fairly easy going guy...I decided to stop in and get my hair cut as my regular guy is on vacation and Im leaving for mine on Sunday and really needed a good clean up. After having to wait at the door while a few guys were chatting and vaping right in front of the door...They were quite cordial and parted when I did get noticed.I was asked if I had an appointment and answered No but still was taken right into a chair...I was impressed with the tone of the shop and the decor was all professional. Turning point...The gentleman that was to cut my hair, or so I thought was chatting up two other guys about product. The next thing I see, .he is on the sidewalk looking at samples...While I was left to wait. Im sorry but that level of customer service is not five star by any means...It may be a great shop...But I wasnt treated as a valued customer.BTW...Im a concierge in one of International Drives convention hotels where I am quite often asked to recommend such services...So...there is that...
Punctuality is very important to me and Fendi doesn’t have that at all. When things get back to normal, I will not go here for a haircut and wouldn’t recommend
Im so glad i found this place! Melo cut my hair and he was an absolute professional. The finished product was amazing. No mess, looked great and felt good. What impressed me the most was the way i was treated, i felt cared for and confident that i was going to get a great haircut from the moment i sat in the chair. I will be definitely making this my barbershop and i highly recommend to anyone looking for a shop.
I am very seriously dissatisfiedI am a regular customer, but I will not recommend this place to anyone else. Because the last couple of times the Berbers did their job very rudely, not hiding anger and discontent with the client. I feel very pain on my head.
Great quality haircut. Upscale business. I was passing through heading for a cruise in Port Canaveral and needed a cut. They were able to get me in without any issues. All I can say, my barber and I our going to have a long talk when I get back to Oklahoma. Lol. Amazing. Thanks again!!
Louis does a fantastic job. I wish this shop existed in Georgia because Id come here every week. Great atmosphere, great cuts, professional barbers and stylists. If I am ever back in Orlando, this is the first place Id visit.
I caught the man himself on a break. He immediately greeted me and put away his meal. I offered to wait as I was in no hurry, but he was having none of it. He sat me down in his chair, got to know me, and proceeded to give me the cleanest cut and shave of my life! He was fast, delicate and exhibited a great attention to detail. My wife was very pleased with the results. The only regret I have is that I am only visiting and fly back home tomorrow.Great Job Melo! Truly world class!
Fantastic place for a quality haircut. Needed a hair cut while in town for conference. Melos was highly rated and we experienced why. Only waited for a very short time and got an outstanding haircut. Fantastic atmosphere and extremely friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Juan Carlos (sorry if I have misspelled!)IS.FREAKING.AMAZING.My husband, while a simple man, is very picky with his hair. He has a specific way he likes his hair cut, and he always makes sure to convey that to the barber. Juan Carlos is possible one of 10+ barbers he’s visited in the Central Florida region he’s visited that actually1) Listens to his client2) Takes his time3) Is meticulous and courteous.The rest of the staff are also very friendly and kind. I want to keep this place a secret but THE PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW.💇🏻♂️💇🏻♂️💇🏻♂️💇🏻♂️EDIT:i see the owner replied— just FYI, he got his hair cut not on the day i originally posted this review 🙃 we know it’s Juan Carlos bc that’s the only person my husband trusts with his hair 🥰🥰🥰
Melo’s was great and worked hard to fit me in with the beast head shave I’ve had in a very long time. Nice laid back atmosphere and everybody is happy and inviting! I strongly recommend all of the barbers there!
If this place was in my home town, I wouldnt go anywhere else as it was the best haircut Ive ever received. The amount of care that they put into it was beyond impressive and the price was a bargain. Thank you!!!
This was the 1st barber shop I went to after moving to Orlando in January. I havent gone to another one, so you know its good. Great atmosphere and very reasonably priced. They take care of you and make sure youre satisfied. Ill be going back while I live here. Thanks guys!
I come here regularly and Im always happy with my haircut. I usually ask for Melo, but all of the barbers who work there are great. Their attention to detail makes the place really stand out. If youre from NYC and want a good New York style haircut, this is the place to go.
Visited the barbershop from Georgia. Called and talk to the owner for an appointment. He told me to come in, no appointment needed. Barbershop was very nice and clean with a uptempo vibe. Melo was a cool guy. I would definitely recommend this barbershop to visitors needing his service.
Loved the cuts that my husband and son received here! They are friendly, personable and pay close attention to detail. Loved how clean it was in there too. John cut my sons hair and it was perfection! I am usually very picky, but could not find one thing to complain about. Definitely will be going back.
I never looked forward to my next haircut until I started coming here. All of these folks are great; theyll take their time and do the job right. Mike gave me my best experience so far; ask for him! He took particular care on my cut and shave.
Best service, always clean, best staff! Best place to get a fresh cut!Update: Been getting cuts from this awesome place for almost 2 years now and I will recomend it over and over again!
Cinco estrellas - five stars! Clean, proper cuts, and friendly.Open seven days a week - can you believe it? Melo and his team run a clean shop, manage lots of different styles, all with humility and good vibes.Highly recommended.
If you want a great haircut for a fair price, get yourself to Melos. Enjoy the experience of the barbershop as they take their time to make sure your hair looks exactly like you want it. My favorite place to go!
Thank you, Jose, for a cut that made me happy and confident. Have been in Orlando since August and finally got a haircut I was happy with having. It helps to know a little Spanish when explaining your cut, but staff is super friendly and shop is nice and clean. Will be returning for next needed cut.
I came in last minute before a cruise for a beard trim and I was taken without a problem. The gentlemen were incredibly kind and professional. My mess of a beard was cleaned up and the price was very reasonable for the service provided. The shop was clean and had a nice atmosphere, would definitely recommend this barber shop.
Melo and his team are hands down the best barbers in Central Florida. Upbeat atmosphere, welcoming staff and well done haircuts. I have been coming to Melos for years, they do not disappoint!!
Friendly & inviting staff. Jose made it a good experience for my 5yr old son and he loves his new summer cut. We will surely be returning in the future.
Great barbers and nice atmosphere. They take their time to get you exactly what you want. Really good price too!
Literally the most professional haircut Ive ever had. Luis is great and the whole staff is energetic and friendly.
I got one of my best cuts at this place on a visit to Orlando. Definitely recommend to anyone who lives in the area or is visiting and needs a clean cut. Friendly people & welcoming environment.
By far the best place in town. I always go to Jose and he never fails. Melo’s super friendly and they truly care about the quality. A must go. You won’t go anywhere else.
Good hair cut and shave . in and out quickly.just the way I like itI highly recommended.
This place is legit. They have real barbers who can give you a shave if you want one. Ive been going here since it opened, and the place has only gotten nicer. I always ask for Melo if hes available, but Juan Carlos is just as capable.
Great place to get a hair cut. Nice atmosphere, everyone seem friendly and professional. The owner Known as melo great barber, the experience shows in all of these guys when you walk put with a fresh cut. And if you have any questions they give you good tips and help you out figure out what is it you want.
Melo is such a creative artist!Best beard man in Orlando!Booked online with ease.
Im from NYC and hate barbershops. They are loud and dirty, and sometimes I wait forever for a cut. This place was clean, professional, and laid back. I got my hair cut by Mike (second chair from the door) and it was great. Really nice guy too. I recommend this place highly.
Melo really took his time to give me the best haircut possible. Super friendly as well. Highly recommend
Great place! Makes sure exactly what you want done. Very clean cuts too,I recommend!!!
Awesome place! Pretty cool vibes...everyone was down to earth and friendly. Top quality work at really fair prices.
