One chair.
One barber.
Vintage Blade is Dixie Rheiner — proprietor, master barber, and the reason people drive in from all over Southwest Florida.
Vintage Blade opened its doors in Bonita Springs in 2024 with a simple idea: bring back the proper barbershop. British-racing-green walls, mahogany, brass fittings and sepia portraits — a room that feels lived-in from the day you walk in, and a chair that remembers your usual.
Behind that chair is Dixie. Straight-razor trained and particular about a clean finish, she does every cut, shave and beard herself — no rotating strangers, no rush. She’ll learn how you like it and give you the exact same cut next time, whether that’s a scissor classic, a tight skin fade, or a hot-towel shave that’s the most relaxing ten minutes of your month.
Regulars will tell you the same thing: it’s the conversation as much as the cut. She calls you by name, remembers your kids, and sends you out looking your best. It’s one chair for now — but growing soon, more chairs, same standards.
Regulars say it best.
“Miss Dixie makes this gem state of the art. In my 30 years of military service, she’s probably the best in the entire state of Florida.”
“From the moment I walked in — a warm, welcoming vibe, that perfect mix of classic charm and modern flair. Dixie took the time to chat about exactly what I wanted.”
“By far the best place I’ve ever been to get my haircut. Very clean and well decorated — and Dixie listens to your needs.”
