◆ The Chair · From Sarasota

Old school hands. new school eyes.

Sarasota is the longest typical drive of the towns this shop serves. Two routes: I-75 north to exit 224 (University Pkwy), then a short eastbound jog to US-301, about 25 minutes. Or US-41 north through Bradenton, then US-301 over the Manatee River, about 35 minutes. I-75 is faster. US-41 is slower and more scenic.

The shop is three miles north of the river, on the east side of US-301 between Gates of Heaven Rd and the Ellenton town line. Hexagonal LEDs, black chairs, a warm mirror. The cut is the contract: what goes on the mirror is what walks out the door. Juan and Cesar take the chairs. English and Spanish both work. There is no surcharge for driving in from Sarasota. Same board, same time slot, same walk-in rule.
