Private Hair Salon Serving
Scott Farmer Hair Salon proudly serves clients from this area with precision haircuts, hair color, highlights, and balayage in a private single-client setting.
Service area
Scott Farmer Hair Salon sits inside Phenix Salon Suites at 555 S Tamiami Trl, Suite 139 in Venice, FL 34285. From Wellen Park, head north on US-41. Most neighborhoods in the community are about 10 to 15 minutes from the salon. By appointment only. One stylist, one client, one master-stylist chair at a time.
Wellen Park is one of the fastest-growing communities in Florida, and a lot of new residents are still rebuilding their service list from scratch. Doctor, dentist, stylist. The ones who find Scott tend to stay. They book because they want a single stylist who knows their hair over time, not whoever is available when they call.
The drive from Wellen Park is 10 to 15 minutes north on US-41. Most clients treat it as a Venice morning. Park at Phenix, walk to lunch on the island, run errands on the way back. The appointment becomes part of the day, not a detour to fit in.
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, color history, and your goal all go into the plan. Three minutes of looking saves six weeks of fixing.
The salon is at 555 S Tamiami Trl, Suite 139, Venice, FL 34285, inside Phenix Salon Suites. Free parking on site. Phenix is set back from the road and the suites are private, so plan an extra five minutes for your first visit. From Wellen Park, take US-41 north toward Venice.

For clients who want a master stylist with 30 years behind the chair, a private suite instead of a packed floor, and a planning consultation before any product or shears touch the hair, the 10 to 15 minute drive from Wellen Park 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.

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 Wellen Park and West Villages clients?
Yes. A number of Wellen Park, Grand Palm, IslandWalk, and West Villages residents are on the books. Many are new to the area and looking for a stylist they can stay with long-term. That is exactly what the private-suite model was built for.
How do I book my first appointment as a new client from Wellen Park?
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.
Is the salon by appointment only?
Yes. One stylist, one client at a time. No walk-ins. This is a single-suite private salon, not a multi-chair floor.
Downtown Wellen, Grand Palm, IslandWalk, Oasis at West Villages, Sarasota National, Solstice, and Sunstone residents all make the short drive north on US-41 to reach the chair. The salon sits about 12 minutes north of the Wellen Park town center on Tamiami Trail. From most of the community, it is a straight shot with no turns.
A short drive from one of Florida’s fastest-growing master-planned communities puts you in the chair of a stylist who has been behind the chair for 30 years and has worked with more than 15,000 clients. I use Schwarzkopf professional color because the chemistry holds better in Florida humidity than most other lines. Every appointment is private, one-on-one, and planned before the cape goes on.
Yes. I hold a Florida Master Cosmetologist license, which goes beyond a standard cosmetology certification. I have 30 years behind the chair and have worked with more than 15,000 clients. My private suite is at 555 S Tamiami Trail, Suite 139 in Venice, about 10 to 15 minutes north of Wellen Park on US-41. One client at a time, by appointment only.
Gray blending is a significant part of my color work. The goal is not to paint everything one solid shade and call it done. I custom-mix a Schwarzkopf formula that matches your natural base and works with the gray rather than against it, so the result looks like a natural depth rather than a dye job. After 30 years and more than 15,000 clients, I have mixed enough gray formulas to know that a flat, one-note result is almost always a timing problem or a formula that did not account for the individual base.
Most are driving north to Venice or up to Sarasota. The ones who end up in the chair here found me through Google, through a neighbor’s referral, or because they wanted a private suite instead of a walk-in floor. Wellen Park is new enough that most residents are still building their local service list. I am about 12 minutes north on US-41, by appointment only, and I take one client at a time.
That is exactly how I work. Private suite, one client, one stylist. No handoff to an assistant for processing, no shampoo bowl shared with three other clients. You are with me from the Pre-Cut Read through the finish. Most appointments are 60 to 90 minutes for a cut, longer for color. Text (941) 599-4868 with a photo and what you are looking for, and I will tell you what to book.
