Our History

The Ringling Barber Shop was established downtown on Main Street many years ago. Its name comes from the Ringling's, one of the oldest barber shops in downtown Sarasota. In the early 70's, the owner moved the barber shop from Main Street to Ringling Blvd. The barber pole is a sign from many years ago, representing the original role of barbers as doctors and dentists too. The stripes represent bandages, with the red symbolizing blood poisoning and the blue representing leaches used to draw poison out of veins.

Today, we continue to honor our rich history while providing modern, high-quality services to our clients. We're proud to be a part of this community and look forward to serving you for many years to come.
