Chris is great! Thoughtful and careful, he doesn’t whip through the haircut. Spends time with his clients to perfect adjustments. No rush, great style, trust him with your head!

I have gone to Chris for a couple years, by far the best haircutter I have ever been to. My last cut that I got Thurs, July 15 is amazing. Thanks Chris. You did it again.

Chris and his tonorial artists are excellent professionals, and their ready wit and upbeat demeanor underscore their attention to detail.

Chris is a wonderful hair stylist: he listens & then is very careful about doing what you want. I highly recommend him!

One of the best haircuts and blonde highlights I’ve ever had. Very fresh and natural looking. Would definitely recommend Chris! I live in NY, I might have to come down to FL get my hair done now!

Great service! So happy with my haircut. Will definitely be back.

I recommend this place because he take his time. Doesnt make you feel rushed.I put it in his hands and love my new style and color.

I was a first time client with Chris but not his last. Love his enthusiasm and positive attitude. He did an amazing cut with hair and did the detail work that thg I asked for. I am hooked on the Salon. Fantastic one on one service. Keep up the amazing service to detail, Chris.

Youll love the upscale feel of this new owner operated salon, conveniently located in Gulf Gate shopping district. Come get a haircut with Chris or Monique, and youll enjoy personal, friendly service right from the owners! Congratulations you two!

Very clean store. Sanitized stations after each use. Very friendly atmosphere. Don’t miss out on this gem. Owner has a B.H.A.G. (Big, Hairy (no pun intended) Audacious, Goal).

I have difficult naturally curly hair. I had to cut my own hair during the stay-at-home orders. What started as 6 coming off turned out to be 10 before I gave up and waited for professional help! I searched for a 4.5 star or better salon and found Shear Styles. I went to see Chris and he fixed my home cut! Great experience - I have found my go to hair place!

Chris is a true professional! He did a great job with my color and cut. I highly recommend this business!!!

Chris at Shear Styles is really great ! I have been going to Chris since 2010. Chris does excellent work and I am always very satisfied.

Ive been going to Chris for about a year now. Hes an EXCEPTIONALperson and an EXCELLENT hair stylist!  Always listens to what you want, delivers quality haircuts, makes recommendations, and is easy on your wallet. FANTASTIC cut today!!! Chris wants to please and will make changes if desired...although theres never a need to. Thank you Chris!

Hair color service is not only affordable, its always on point. Chris owns and embraces his passion as a dual licensed barber and cosmetologist, located right in the heart of Gulf Gate.Ive been a regular for about a year and am surprised to realize I didnt share my experience sooner.

Chris is wonderful, great haircuts, sanitizing after each person. Salon is clean. Great products for sale too.

ALWAYS THE BEST FOR CUT & HIGHLIGHTS! YOU CANT GET A BETTER PERSON TO DO YOUR HAIR!

I went here to get my haircut and it was a great experience. Sarah did a wonderful job with cutting my hair. I also got bangs and she did such a good job. I love my hair and am thankful to have found such a great hair stylist.

Chris as always was awesome, gives the best cuts they grow in so well I forget to come back for trims.

I went to Shear Styles for the first a few days ago and had a wonderful experience. Sarah cut my hair and she did a great job on the fade. I felt very welcome and the conversation was great. I’m looking forward to my next appointment!

My son always gets a nice haircut. Hes not the easiest client to work with since he has Down Syndrome.

Cute, clean salon! Chris was professional and prompt. I was very pleased with my haircut and the pricing very reasonable! You need to check this place out, ask for Chris! :)

Great haircut and color. Chris follows my requests exactly.

Sarah is an amazing stylist! She’s always attentive to make sure she knows what style you want, also making sure your comfortable and welcomed! She’s got a heart of gold and is super sweet!! ❤️

Chris was professional, gave me a fabulous haircut; salon was clean and sanitized and I felt very safe and comfortable. It was my first experience and it will not be my last!

I went in for an appointment with Sarah after a friend recommended her. She trimmed up both my hair and beard.I am extremely picky on how both are done and normally do not trust anyone to do it other than two barbers I’ve been going to for years but both were either booked up or on vacation.Sarah was extremely professional, listened well, was extremely attentive and even made some suggestions that I allowed her to implement and was thrilled with the result. I have gotten many compliments on my beard specifically for taking her suggestions on shortening up areas I do not normally like short to slightly change the shape.The thing that impressed me the most however was her conscientiousness and attention to detail, she went back to specific areas at the end, making sure I was genuinely okay with each section, I’ve never had someone care that much about making sure her client left happy with the finished product, not the normal “everything look good?... okay next!” so many of us have become accustomed to.One last thing, in addition to her skill Sarah is extremely personable, she will not just talk your ear off or leave you in awkward silences, which is something I used to dread when trying out a new barber or stylist. She has a genuine conversation with you that makes the time in the chair fly by.I couldn’t recommend her more!

I was so, so lucky; I stumbled across Chris and Shear Styles after I had just relocated to Sarasota, and my new home is near his salon. I read a bunch of wonderful reviews, and now I see him every four weeks for eternity, because no one else can force my short, silver, difficult hair to do what I want it to while chatting about what to do and where to go. Hes busy, but try to catch him if you can...as long as you dont bump me off his schedule :-)

Chris has been cutting my hair for years. He is so talented! Reasonable $$

Ive been going to Chris for years. I respect his advice and can trust his work. Im always happy with my highlighting and cuts. Nevertheless, he always tells me to come back if Im not happy and hell make it right. Thanks, Chris. Continued success!

My first haircut and style experience with Chris was amazing. I showed him pictures of my past haircut, that I really liked, and he nailed it! Once again, I love my haircut! Thanks, Chris 💜The shop is lovely with todays decor, latest contact and appointment tracking technology, and quality hair products.Chris has a real styling talent, along with keen management experience, and a great personality.

Monique and Chris are the best. They always strive for excellence when it comes to your hair. Very professional and easy to talk too. 5 stars isnt enough, definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Sarah was my stylist. She did an AMAZING job! I’m getting my hair done by her from now on!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Chris & Monique! Two other times I tried someone else and Monique ended up fixing their mess. Lessons learned! Chris also dyed my hair for my wedding 2 years ago and made sure I absolutely loved the color before I left. I wont go anywhere else now.

Just went there for my first appointment this last Tuesday. Sarah absolutely nailed the style I was looking for, and I’ll definitely be back!

I nice place for a haircut

These are two of the nicest people ever! When you go in, the are very personable and get to know you. They are skilled with what they do and their shop is clean and welcoming.

If I could give more stars I would. I was ready for a change and showed Chris a photo of what I had in mind. He took his time talking it over with me before we started. I was a bit nervous at making such a big change and I’m so glad I did it. Chris is an amazing stylist and his customer service is top notch. I’ll be a return customer for years to come. Thanks Chris!!!

This is one of the few places anywhere I will have my hair cut. I am incredibly particular about about who cuts my hair and due to my crown and cow-lick, it is no easy task. I will only have it 100% scissor cut and Monique does a great job. Even though it takes much longer for a guys cut, she never rushes or otherwise makes me feel like I am demanding too much for the same price that other guys get the trimmer for. She has to point-cut and thin my hair, and always does a fabulous job. Not to mention the salon has a very neighborhood and laid-back feel - I always meet people there - and end with a hot towel treatment that I wish was 15 minutes longer. All for the same price! A highly recommend and all around great experience - you are in good hands with Monique and Chris.

Chris is awesome. Best haircuts I’ve had since I moved to Sarasota!

I went in with long hair down to my shoulders and wanted a short haircut. Now Ive had my hair cut short by other stylist and was always unhappy, so I was apprehensive to cut it again. After a consultation with Chris I bit the bullet and let him do his magic and I have to say he did a fantastic job. He listened to what my concerns were and I finally was able to walk out of a salon feeling happy and beautiful. I will definitely recommend anyone to try SHEAR STYLE4S. Chris and his wife Monique are both professional and accommodating stylist as well as just great people. I wont go anywhere else.

Chris took time to cut it perfectly

Best haircut Ive had in five years. Would recommend to anyone. Due to covid I love that there are not alot of people while getting my haircut. Im usually the only one . Chris does a wonderful job everytime.

Great service & Style in a simple. Setting.

My wife just got her hair done by Chris and man does he do a great job! We also live all the way in Bradenton and already made her a second appointmen in 8 weeks! Thanks my brotha for all the hard work u did!
