Question 1

How much is a haircut at Aldostylist Barbershop?

Accepted Answer

A classic haircut is $49.50 for thirty minutes in the chair. A skin fade is $54 and takes forty five minutes because taking the sides down to the skin is slower and more exact. A scissor cut, with no clippers at all, is also $54.

Question 2

Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?

Accepted Answer

Book an appointment. Aldo takes one client at a time, so when he is mid cut his chair is spoken for. The calendar on this site shows his real openings and a same day slot is often available. If you are already nearby, call and he will tell you straight whether he can fit you in.

Question 3

Where is the shop?

Accepted Answer

108 SW 9th Street, Suite 26, Miami, Florida 33130. That is the north edge of Brickell, a short walk from downtown. The map at the bottom of every page opens directions on your phone.

Question 4

What is your phone number?

Accepted Answer

(646) 732-7436. If Aldo is in the middle of a cut he will not answer, because he does not stop working on one client to take a call from the next. Leave a message or book online.

Question 5

How long has Aldo been a barber?

Accepted Answer

More than twenty five years. He is from New York, moved to Miami in 2021, and has been cutting in the Brickell area since then.

Question 6

Will I always get Aldo, or could I be given someone else?

Accepted Answer

Every appointment on his calendar is with him. You will never be handed to someone else because he ran late or took a day off, and nobody else has to learn your hair.

Question 7

What is the difference between a classic haircut and a skin fade?

Accepted Answer

A classic haircut leaves a small amount of hair at the shortest point on the sides, so the transition is soft. A skin fade takes the shortest point all the way down to bare skin and blends up from there, which takes longer and shows every mistake. The classic is $49.50 for thirty minutes and the skin fade is $54 for forty five.

Question 8

What is the Royal Shave?

Accepted Answer

A traditional straight razor shave: hot towels to soften the beard, warm lather, the razor, then a cold towel to close everything up. It is $40.50 and takes thirty five minutes. Most chairs no longer offer it because it takes real skill with a blade.

Question 9

Can I get my haircut and beard done in the same visit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it costs less booked together. A classic haircut with a regular beard trim is $54 for fifty minutes. A skin fade with a beard trim is $63. Booked as one appointment the beard gets shaped to match the cut instead of being treated separately.

Question 10

What is in the Executive Package?

Accepted Answer

The cut, the beard work, the Royal Shave and the Royal Mask in a single seventy five minute appointment for $117. It is the full seat, and it is what people book before a wedding, a shoot or a big meeting.

Question 11

Do you cut kids' hair?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The junior cut covers ages five to twelve, costs $36 and takes thirty minutes. Book it as its own appointment so nobody is rushed, and if you are both getting cut, book two slots back to back.

Question 12

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

A few days ahead is safer. He cuts Saturday evening and all day Sunday, so the weekend slots go first. Same day openings do come up, so check the calendar before you assume he is full.

Question 13

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Accepted Answer

Change it through the same booking system you used, as early as you can. A cancelled slot with an hour's notice usually cannot be filled, and that hour is then simply gone from his day.

Question 14

How much should I tip?

Accepted Answer

Whatever you think the work was worth. Barbers in Miami commonly see fifteen to twenty percent, but nobody at this shop will look at you differently for what you leave.

Question 15

How do I know what cut to ask for?

Accepted Answer

Bring a photo, even a bad one from your phone. Then tell Aldo what went wrong with your last cut, because how a cut grows out matters more than how it looked on day one. He talks it through before he starts.

Question 16

Can I just get my hairline cleaned up between cuts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The edge up line up is $22.50 for twenty five minutes and covers the hairline, temples and neck. It is what keeps a cut looking new in weeks three and four.

Question 17

Do you shave heads?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Bold Head Shave takes the whole head down smooth and finishes with a hot towel. It is $54 and takes forty minutes.

Question 18

Can you cover grey?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hair black coloring is $40.50 for thirty minutes and can be used on hair or beard, matched to your natural tone rather than dropped to a flat black.

Question 19

Do you do waxing?

Accepted Answer

Ear wax and nose wax are $18 each and take about five minutes. A full eyebrow wax is $13.50. All three are usually added onto an appointment you already have rather than booked alone.

Question 20

Will Aldo come to me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The house cut is $157.50 and he brings everything to your address in the Brickell area. People book it before weddings, before travel, or when they simply cannot leave the building that day.

Question 21

How long will I actually be there?

Accepted Answer

As long as the service says, and not longer. Thirty minutes for a classic cut, forty five for a skin fade, fifty for a cut and beard, seventy five for the Executive Package. He books one client at a time so appointments do not stack up and run late.

Question 22

Is there parking near the shop?

Accepted Answer

The shop is in the Brickell area of Miami, where street parking and paid garages are the norm rather than a private lot. Give yourself a few extra minutes, or take the Metromover, which runs close by.

Question 23

What payment do you take?

Accepted Answer

Prices are in US dollars and payment is taken at the shop. If you want to confirm a specific payment method before you come in, call ahead and ask.

Question 24

Do you cut women's hair?

Accepted Answer

Aldo is a barber, and the work is men's cutting, beard shaping and razor work. He can cut shorter styles, but color work, highlights and long layered styling belong in a salon chair, and he will tell you so rather than take the booking.

Question 25

How often should I come back?

Accepted Answer

For a skin fade, every two weeks keeps the blend clean, because a fade shows growth first. A classic cut holds shape for three to four weeks. Beards depend on how fast yours fills in, but most clients land on every two to three weeks.

Question 26

What makes this different from a cheaper barbershop?

Accepted Answer

Time and consistency. A ten dollar chair a few blocks away is doing a different job, and doing it fast. Here you get thirty to seventy five minutes with a barber who has done this for twenty five years, and the same hands every visit.
