What makes this place great is that you never have to worry about someone fudging your hair. all the barbers are trained with signature techniques. If your looking for edgy, trendy, military urban or modern cut. Visit here you wont be dissappointed. If you desire is to have a current do your barber hasnt been to any recent hair shows, still has magazines from the 70s sitting out and/or still use a ruler to cut hair. You may want to come to our shop. Many barbershop shop lack versatility you will not find that here. Anything from new school haircutting, beard grooming, to urban, to traditional haircuts, are executed with ease at Elite barbershop. Highly skilled, reliable and professional barbers that are capable of cutting all hair types and styles. For some people entering a new barbershop establishment can be terrifying. The moment I walked in the doors of Elite barbershop I fell in love with the remix songs email echoing through the speakers. The foos ball table provided great entertainment as I waited to be seated with my Elite barber. The clean and friendly atmosphere transcends into an old time barbershop. Parking is always available, accessible through Gandy Boulevard. So many times expectations are not met on account of not being familiar with the razor blade. Hot towel shave are always an option provided to customers. Regardless of your race or ethnicity you can count on a quality haircut. It is uncommon at all to see females sitting side by side with males customers but not here, they take care of all at Elite barbershop. Qualified barbers are available to cut any texture hair. From long layers to buzz cuts, a desired is not beyond imagination. Flat Ironed extreme layered hair is easily achieved. Round brush long hair to extreme undercuts are done on a regular basis. Custom design graphics can easily be included in any haircut. You dont have to travel to New York or Los Angeles to be ahead of the bar in the fashion world. Put your troubles aside and make the trip to Elite barbershop. The staff will take from ordinary to extraordinary.

Worse haircut and service I ever received from a so called Elite Barbershop. I went to this barbershop after being recommend by a friend. After being seated, I asked the short Asian barber for a medium fade with a #1 on top. Once he started, I quickly noticed that my hair was cut down to a half and not a #1 as originally asked. Next the barber started to tape the front of my hair which turned out to be a nightmare. Not only was my tape crooked but he pushed my tape so far back I looked as if I had the forehead of Wayne Brady. After looking in the mirror in disbelief because I thought this was some type of joke I asked if could he straighten my tape. He then instructed me to tilt my head down and look up into the mirror saying look now its straight. Disappointed as I was I decided to just let him bald my head which he cautioned against because he didnt see anything wrong with my haircut. After my head was completely bald the scheduled client that was waiting decided to leave saying he had a unscheduled meeting to attended which pissed the barber off even more. Im sure that waiting client saw how terrible this barber really was and decided to run while he still had a chance before being butchered. Once my bald head was completed the barber became very rude saying it was my fault and he gave me what I wanted which I couldnt believe. I informed him, I didnt know I wanted a bad haircut. He then said, maybe I should try another barber or better yet I should go to another barbershop. This guy is obviously not a real licensed barber and more of a circus clown that experiments on peoples hair. If you dont want you hair I would recommend this barbershop otherwise go elsewhere. This place should be called Elite Garbageshop!

Hated it. The worst. The worst hair cut my boy has ever had by a white dude with tattoos. Didnt get his name thats why Im describing him in hope to save whoever read this review. Do not take the risk. Unless you want to get out of there without hair! My boy got there with a big afro and we chose hair cut #27. They have a big poster with different choices. I specifically ask him to cut half, HALF because he didnt like it too short were my exact words. Apparently this guy doesnt know what half of something is and cut all of my boy hair off. It looks NOTHING like the picture. What is the point then to offer choices with pictures on it if they dont know how to do it right!?! I expressed my dissatisfaction and they excuse themselves by saying they asked my boy if it was ok and he said yes, so he obviously ignore what I requested. My boy is super shy and he barely open his mouth to say nothing. I was so upset I cried and every time I look at him I feel like crying again. He now only wants to wear a hat hoping that his hair grows before he has to start school again. Im sure anybody will understand what this mean for a teenager. Anybody but them. they didnt even care and still charge me for the awful job. What a way to keep their customers! I will never go back but I will make sure everybody I know and run into knows about this. I will not forget.

**Update** I had to up update my review based on some unfair activity on here. While I would never judge someone elses opinion no matter how wrong they are, you really have to take a step back sometimes and take a look around before leaving a negative review. If all the previous ratings are 5 stars and the reviews are outstanding about the barbers, why would you be the ONE person to leave a bad review? James and the other barbers are the type that if you have an issue (which I have NEVER seen happen), they will fix it on the spot. I have been going to them for years and never once had a bad haircut or seen one person leave there disappointed. The reason I feel I need to post this is due to the fact that the ONE person leaving a negative review, has left nothing but negative reviews for other businesses, which leads me to believe that person will never have a positive experience no matter what. Thank you James, Dino, Fernando, and TY for always running a class act and pushing out tight fades. Original review: James runs a tight ship. All the barbers can fade with the best of them and keep up on all the new trends and styles. James cleaned me up with a fresh 1/2 fade and one of the cleanest parts Ive ever worn on my head. Overall one of the best shops in Tampa.

I been coming to this shop since 2005 and have always had great service and cuts. I seen some negative reviews but want to promote how many great reviews this shop has. I normally wouldnt do this but I was witness to a situation today that I felt was wrong so I felt it is my place to defend the shop and barber. He asked for his edge to be pushed back and the barber advised against it. He didnt like it so he wasnt charged for the cut. The barber was very polite and offered the service of a different barber next time. As far as a client leaving, this is one of the regulars who always has meetings and often stops by for cuts and leaves if the shop is busy. I am always happy with my cut, all of the barbers have cut my hair and they all do an excellent job. As far as the service the shop, it is always friendly, relaxing and a clean atmoshere. Too bad people who dont know what they want blame others and not own up to their own decsions or mistakes. This customer was rude and showed no respect. Elite barbershop is the best shop with Great barbers and I highly recommend it. Dont let one bad review pursuade you for not trying this shop.
