Service area
Hair salon Nokomis FL: a short drive south.
Scott Farmer Hair Salon sits inside Phenix Salon Suites at 555 S Tamiami Trl, Suite 139 in Venice, FL 34285. From Nokomis, it is about 10 minutes just north of Venice on US-41. By appointment only. One stylist, one client, one master-stylist chair at a time.
Why Nokomis clients book Scott.
Nokomis Beach regulars and Casey Key residents book Scott because they want one stylist who remembers their hair from last season, not a rotating chair. The twelve-minute drive down US-41 is the shortest route to a salon that takes one client at a time. Many book lunch-hour appointments and treat the suite like a neighborhood resource. Color is planned around Florida sun and saltwater between visits.
Every appointment starts with The Pre-Cut Read, a five-point planning consultation Scott runs before he picks up shears or mixes a single bowl. Density, growth pattern, porosity, lifestyle fit, and what the last three stylists missed. Three minutes of looking saves six weeks of fixing.

People also ask
Is Scott Farmer Hair Salon worth the drive from Nokomis, FL?
For clients who want a master stylist with 30 years behind the chair, a master-stylist chair instead of a packed floor, and a planning consultation before any product or shears touch the hair, the about 10 minutes drive from Nokomis is shorter than the time it takes to fix a rushed cut from a closer salon. New clients usually book two to three weeks out.

Frequently asked questions from Nokomis clients.
How long does the drive from Nokomis to Scott Farmer Hair Salon take?
About 10 minutes from central Nokomis south on US-41. Casey Key and Nokomis Beach are 12 to 16 minutes depending on your starting point. Most Nokomis clients combine the appointment with a Venice errand or lunch stop.
Where do Nokomis clients park?
Free lot at 555 S Tamiami Trl, Venice FL 34285. Pull into the Phenix Salon Suites lot and park anywhere. No metered street parking, no garage to navigate.
Does Scott Farmer take Casey Key and Nokomis Beach clients?
Yes. A meaningful share of the book is Casey Key, Nokomis Beach, North Jetty, and the Laurel Rd corridor. Saltwater, chlorine, and Florida sun change how color holds, so the consultation accounts for your real lifestyle.
How do I book my first appointment as a new client from Nokomis?
Book online through the Square link, or text (941) 599-4868 with a photo of your hair and what you are looking for. Scott confirms the service and timing before any appointment goes on the calendar. Full first-appointment guide here.

Yes. One stylist, one client at a time. No walk-ins. This is a single-suite private salon, not a multi-chair floor.
Nokomis neighborhoods I see most often
Sorrento Shores, Calusa Lakes, Mission Valley, Bay Point, Pine Brook, the Laurel Road corridor, and Casey Key residents all drive down US-41 or Albee Road to reach the chair. The salon sits about 12 minutes south of Nokomis Village on Tamiami Trail. From Casey Key, take Albee Road to US-41, then 7 minutes south. From the 34275 zip, the drive is typically 10 to 15 minutes depending on traffic on US-41.
A short drive from Nokomis, Osprey, Casey Key, and the Nokomis Beach jetty puts you in the chair where the master stylist who reads your hair is also the one who cuts and colors it. I use Schwarzkopf professional color, the European salon standard, because the chemistry holds better in Florida humidity and saltwater than the Aveda or Redken formulas most local salons run.
