OUR STORY

Established in 1969 by Italian immigrant Carlo Sarti Sr., Carlo's Barbershop has stood as a cherished landmark in Garfield Heights, Ohio. Originally situated on Warner Road in Cleveland, the shop relocated to Turney Road in Garfield Heights, where it held its place in the community from 1969 to 2022. Over the years, the Sarti family flourished, as Carlo Jr., Roberto Gangale, Nick Barile, and Bill Wise joined the skilled cutting crew.

In 2005, the family extended its legacy with the opening of Carlo's Barbershop II, a beloved establishment in Broadview Heights, Ohio. Under the ownership of Roberto Gangale and Carlo Jr., this shop garnered an enthusiastic response from the local community. Witnessing continued success, Carlo's Barbershop further expanded its presence with a second location in Independence, inaugurated in 2012 and currently owned by Nick Barile and Carlo Jr., who purchased it from Nick Nero, the former owner of Nick's Barbershop for over 50 years.

Known for more than just haircuts, Carlo's Barbershop is a hub of vibrant conversation, covering local events, global news, sports, and humor. Welcoming everyone, the shop has earned its reputation as a welcoming and lively space where the community gathers for more than just a trim.

OUR TEAM

Portrait of Carlo Sr.

CARLO, SR.

“SENIOR”

The man who started it all 50 years ago, was born in Italy and moved to the USA in 1955. Despite early struggles, he developed a strong work ethic. Now 78 and in fantastic shape, he remains the hardest worker. He is a true machine. At Carlo’s, we've all had the privilege of learning from him; he's a genuine inspiration, imparting valuable life lessons. He's still one of the best when it comes to tapered square backs – a true master barber. Beyond his craft, he enjoys spending time with his grandchildren, soccer, and exploring garage sales. He's the original American picker!
