Men's haircuts in South Beach: prices, timing and how often to come back

A men's haircut at Hair Shak Salon Miami is $110 to $158 and takes 45 minutes, with Shak from start to finish. A buzzcut starts at $55 and a beard trim is $35. The salon is at 300 Alton Road in South Beach, it works by appointment, and parking is free for clients.

Salon or barbershop?

It's a fair question, and the answer depends on what you want. If you're after a quick walk-in fade, a barbershop is probably the better fit, and South Beach has plenty of them. Here there is one stylist and one appointment at a time, and a cut takes 45 minutes.

What you get for that time is a cut shaped around how your hair grows and how you actually wear it, so it still looks right two weeks later when you're the one styling it.

Cut, buzzcut or beard

• A men's cut is $110 to $158. Where you land in that range depends on your hair, and you hear the number before Shak starts.
• A buzzcut starts at $55. Clippers all over, one length or close to it.
• A beard trim is $35, on its own or in the same visit as the cut.

If your hair puffs up the moment you step outside, there is also a men's Brazilian blowout at $225. It's a smoothing treatment for frizz and humidity, and the details are on the Brazilian blowout page.

How often to come back

It depends on the cut. The shorter the sides, the sooner the grow-out shows, so a tight cut needs attention sooner than one with more length left in it. A cut that's meant to grow into something can go longer between visits.

Shak will tell you what your cut needs while you're in the chair. If you already know you'll want the same cut again, book the next one before you leave. There's one chair, and that's the easiest way to get the day you want.
