Shear Styles

Feb 01, 2025

I had been looking for someone to cut my hair in a more shaggy style which can be a challenging cut. Kat did a fantastic job cutting my fine hair into perfect layers. The cut was so good that it lasted months before needing to cut again. She gave beautiful highlights recently and absolutely loved the way they turned out.

Kat is an exceptional hairstylist. After seeking recommendations from various people in the area, I was unable to find anyone who could replicate the haircut I received from my hairstylist back home. Thankfully, I discovered Kat. She is one of the best hairstylists I have ever met. I would highly recommend her services. While I had initially intended to keep her a secret, she kindly requested that I share my positive experience through a review.

Kat is the best for curly hair I have ever found! If you have natural curly hair she will take your look to another level. I get compliments all the time for my hair now.

Came here while on vacation, and I can tell you right now I picked the right place! Friendly people & a very clean salon. I had an appointment for full highlights and a cut and Priscilla Nailed it! I Would definitely recommend her to anyone new in the area or on vacay looking for some pampering! She is the best hair washer as well, who doesn’t love a good scalp scrub! Another thing I loved was that you can book your appointment online!

I have been looking for a hairstylist who understands curly hair. Kat is truly an artist not only did she bring my curls back to life. She also guided me on how to care for my hair and maintain it in a way that is low maintenance and easy. I will definitely be returning here and am happy I finally found my hairstylist in Sarasota!!

I met with Kat not knowing the amazing experience I was about to receive. My cut my hair a couple of years ago (it was a terrible mess) and I had been trying to fix it ever since. When I met with Kat, it was like she understood my hair and knew what would look best for my face and texture. Mine you, I have kinda long, curly hair so it’s easy to get overwhelmed with it. But Kat was so wonderful. She gave me recommendations for products based on what she saw my hair was missing. She even recommended I cut my layers even shorter than what she originally suggested. At first I was like, let’s see how this looks and I left that day feeling so great and my hair felt so light. A few weeks later I ended up going back to pick her up on her suggestion to go shorter on a top layer because I realized she was right and my hair looks even fuller now with less hair! It’s incredible how much she’s changed my confidence in my hair now. And to top off the whole experience, Kat was such a lovely, spunky conversationalist. Highly recommend Sheer and Kat specifically if you have longer curlier hair. Best stylist I’ve had in years!

Professional friendly stylists at good prices.

Believe the hype about Kat! She is a curly girl guru. I began my curly/wavy journey about a year and a half ago after having stick straight hair for most of my life. Aging hair is real-lol! I spent months on YouTube researching products and styling methods. I've been to a few hairdressers and they did an adequate job, but I knew my hair had not reached its potential. Kat saw me at a supplement store, complimented my hair (which looked pretty good that day) and within 20 minutes I was in her chair getting the best cut of my life! She taught me about product and styling and oh my goodness, it is going to be so much easier going forward! Kat takes the stress out of being a curly girl and even though the cut was pricey for Sarasota it is WORTH IT! Good haircuts hold their shape longer than average ones and I'm curious to see how long this lasts but I will 100% be back to see Kat. She is a treasure and should be booked for months in advance. Tell every curly girl you know!

Chris has been cutting my family’s hair for more than 10 years. He always has done a great job listening to each of us and advising us. And he’s fantastic with color! A year ago Kat cut my hair for the first time - and gave me a cut that really allowed me to embrace my curly hair. She’s a genius with curls! On top of all the talent, they are both really wonderful people!

Chris is awesome! #goto

Clients beware! This place is extremely expensive!! I had an hour long hair cut with Kat and it was $140!!! It was simply a cut for long hair and not even a shampoo. She did a great job cutting my hair and it turned out really cute, but I was blown away at the price!

Feb 05, 2024

I found Kat a year ago when I moved here and she is terrific! I have medium length wavy/curly hair which she cuts and styles beautifully. I get many compliments on my hair since going to her. I highly recommend her.

Feb 05, 2024

I had a wonderful experience at this salon. Both Kat and Chris are really great at recommending styles that compliment. I will definitely be using them again. Thank you!

Feb 05, 2024

I’m always super nervous getting haircuts but I will never be nervous again with my hair in Kat’s hands! She is a curly haired genius and turned my flat frizzy hair into a masterpiece! She gave me amazing advice on hair care, curly hair tricks, and overall made my appointment lighthearted and fun. Go to Shear Styles and see her!

Feb 05, 2024

I’m new in Fl and I’ve been hesitant to going to new salons, due to my hair type (curly/wavy long hair) im hesitant, to trust new folks to cut it. To my relief Kat did a phenomenal job and cut it exactly how I wanted it! Super friendly and lots of good suggestions, thank you! I’ll definitely be coming back

Feb 05, 2024

Kat is great she cut my hair, love it! Thank you for the great experience.

Katya is a hair GENIUS. I’ve spent my entire life looking for someone who truly understands curly hair. I’ve gone to all the curly hair salons: Ouidad, Devaschon, I’ve tried the curly Girl method, I’ve done it ALL. It wasn’t until Katya worked my hair that it finally reached its truest potential. People stop me in the street , in stores, at bars, EVERYWHERE just to tell me how beautiful my hair is. I spent 34 years wandering lost until Katya. Her cuts are clean but she adds a little style depending on your personality. She helped my funky side be revealed and I honestly feel better in my skin, like my truest self is felt inside and expressed outwardly. I swear, she is a hair genius and her skills are unparalleled. BOOK HER ASAP YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!

When I moved to Sarasota I had a hard time finding the right stylist, hair cutter and colorist. Once I found Shear Styles I looked no more. I have been coming here for almost 5 years. I get more compliments on the cut and color than I ever have even when I lived in DC and NY. This business is not a market of vendors. It is privately owned by Chris, and he has an excellent associate who also provides hair services. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't appreciate quality work, professionalism, and a nice atmosphere for all your styling needs. They also have a lot of additional services.

Chris is the best stylist I’ve ever had in Sarasota area. Have been going to Chris for many years now and will continue recommending him and continue going to him as long as possible.

Feb 05, 2023

Great haircut and color. Chris follows my requests exactly.

Feb 05, 2023

I have been having my hair cut, colored and styled by Chris for the past two years. He listens, has a great sense of styling and is a master hair cutter. He is also a really nice guy and invites you back if you are not quite happy with the cut. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Feb 05, 2023

Kat was amazing. I had been growing my hair out for over 6 years for my wedding. We are staying in Siesta Key for our honeymoon and I was ready to chop it all off! She did such a good job and was such a pleasure to work with! I would highly recommend her for your next cut. :-)

Feb 05, 2023

Kind and comforting conversation with an outstanding haircut. I'm very pleased with the outcome and I will be returning. Thank you!

Feb 05, 2023

I was down here in Florida for a week and was looking to get a haircut. I was reading reviews and saw that this salon had good reviews. I made the appointment and was not disappointed. Chris listened to what I was looking for and cut and styled the way i wanted it .He was very professional and I loved the way it came out. Will be back again.

Feb 05, 2022

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

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