Mel Rivera is a licensed cosmetologist and barber, and Jose is a licensed barber. They are trained in all facets of men’s hair care to use a straight razor while creating designs and fades, and traditional gentlemen’s haircuts and shaves on the head, face and neck, along with color styles.
According to Mel, she and Jose are seeking a licensed nail technician to take care of their male clients who are requesting expanded services in nail care, manicures and pedicures.
“Our customers range from older children to young, hip professionals, to stylish older men who want a friendly neighborhood, small shop environment that’s convenient to Sarasota and the surrounding communities,” she said. “Now, we’re ready to offer more services due to our success here and customers who want more amenities in our shop.”
