SportClips Haircuts

My boyfriend just waited 30 minutes to get his hair cut and the stylists let 2 people cut him. It was ridiculous. He was on his lunch break and did not have an hour to dedicate. DO NOT GO HERE!!! What terrible customer service.

Got my haircut here today, and I was really pleased. My stylist, Mary, was very friendly and did a great job. She listened to what I wanted and did just that. I got the treatment with the steamed towel, and the extra few dollars are definitely worth it. The place was clean, atmosphere was cool, staff was friendly, so I’ll be back.

I just received the worst haircut of my life. I gave them extremely simple directions: ¼″ off the top and sides, and to even out the back of my hair since I have tons of cowlicks back there. I explained multiple times that I am in the process of growing out my hair and simply wanted to even everything out/​get my neck trimmed.
They ended up taking well over an inch off of my hair, and basically shaving the back of my head down to a #3 on the clippers. I am extremely livid at them, and I will never be returning to Sports Clips again. Seriously, it takes a lot of mess up men’s hair, but they managed it.
My hair looks like an extreme, short bowl cut right now with this miserable cut. STAY AWAY FROM SPORTS CLIPS!!!
I marked it «ultra high end» pricing simply because you would be overpaying even if the haircut was $ 1.

Excellent atmosphere, stylist didnt talk much till it came time to promote products.
One of they only sportclips in country with massage chairs. But one of the best mvp curs ive had in a long time… excellent location by the friendly confines of wrigley. stop by before a cardinals… i mean cubs game

Great atmosphere and they cut my hair the way I want it done… tough to ask for anything more. During peak hours the wait can be a little long though, so I would recommend not going 5−7PM on a weekday.

An absolutely great way to start the day.
Walked in and was greeted with a smile.
Her name is Nena and she is highly recommended. I was invited into a chair, we talked about my mess of hair, decided what we were going to do and got right to it. She offered an upgrade but I didn’t want it.
But once we started talking and I was feeling good. I asked for the MVP.
Best decision. Warm towel, hair washed, product put in, massaged my neck and shoulders, and facial massage too!
Great way to start the day!
As I was getting all bundled up ready to leave, she was going over the cost for everything, she mentioned I was in before 11… Discount! What an amazing stylist and I will enjoy the rest of my day immensely.
Thank you Nena.
Such a great price for everything I received. When my wife goes to those other places they cost way more and they don’t show sports! I’ll be back!

Nice haircut, but without the shave what good are the other services, like a hot towel? Sure it feels nice, but it is only half the service. I’d like the service better if they added a shave with or without a straight razor.

Super under-​rated haircut place. It’s good service, friendly staff, and pretty reasonable. I’ve gone to other locations, but it seems the staff here is generally the best. Great for value guys like me.

Friendly staff, reasonable prices and I get to watch sports while I get my hair cut– what more can I ask for? They do a reasonable and consistent job with the hair-​cut. I recommend that you upgrade to the MVP with the hot towel, scalp massage etc.
Oh, and the free trim between haircuts is a great feature too.

This Sport Clips is great. The business model they have is great. I like the shampoo and hot towel, they fast and all the people are nice.
They even let my black lab in to hang out. Got to love that. Dog has fun coming.
Go they give great haircuts

I tried SportsClips a few times as they are just a short walk from my residence, but feel that they are overpriced for the quality of service you receive. It seems as though most of the people working there are novices. I received some decent haircuts, but also a couple of bad ones. They tend to use primarily clippers rather than scissors.
Basically Sports Clips is your typical $ 8 haircut place (i.e. GreatClips, SuperClips etc.) that creates a «manly» environment through having a sports theme (i.e. stadium style seating in the waiting area, the staff wears referee shirts, they show sports games on TV and have memorabilia on the walls etc.) — and then they jack the price up to nearly triple what a GreatClips or SuperClips charges. To me the sports theme comes across as a bit cheesy and overdone and certainly does not justify charging $ 20 plus for an $ 8 quality haircut.
There are some pluses to SportsClips; they do often have coupons out there that knock a few bucks off the cost, no appointment is needed and for a few bucks extra you can receive a mini spa package including a shampoo, steamed towel and mini massage (again none of this is fancy, but it adds a bit to the experience).
If you are a male in your teens or early twenties you may find SportsClips entertaining and enjoy the experience, but I do not believe it is a good option for anybody outside of this demographic. You can pay about $ 10 to $ 15 more and have a much more professional haircut performed at a myriad of other nearby facilities or you can pay $ 12 less and have the same quality haircut without the sports theme.

I consistently get a good haircut here with little to no wait, and being able to watch ESPN makes the time pass quickly. I don’t get the Hooters comparison that some other Unilocaler had alluded to… perhaps he was trying to be funny. Anyway, I’ve been coming here for over a year now and am a satisfied customer. The stylists are personable, professional, and give good haircuts. The hot towel and scalp massage are nice if you opt for the MVP, though the neck&shoulder massage is nothing special.
Other Unilocalers have complained about «upselling,» but as a regular who knows what they want and/​or don’t want, the upselling can be handled with a polite «no thanks» or two.
Be sure to fill out the receipt survey (it takes about 2 minutes) for three bucks off your next haircut.

I’ve been going to SportClips for haircuts for about 2 years now and I’m pleased with the service that I receive here. The women cutting your hair all do a good job and are pretty consistent from one to the other. It’s nice to have a sports themed place to go where there are games on the TVs and the people cutting your hair can also talk sports.
I’ve had each level of haircut here and the massage and hot towel are defintely nice touches when I do get them. It’s also worth noting that the hot towel and massage are more than just going through the motions — you actually have time to enjoy both.
Another nice service is that if you are a return customer they capture your information in the system so each time you return they know how you like your hair cut.

I got a haircut here on ⁰²⁄₁₇. I’ll get the easy part out of the way — the haircut was fine. She did a nice job. No big deal.
The turnoff for me was the constant selling of their products/​services. Walking in, I gave my name, email and phone number. Then I heard about the 3 different service levels they have. Then I had to choose. Then I had to hear about it again while I was in the chair.
It goes a little like this:
basic haircut = $ 17
haircut with neck massage, shampoo, and hot towel on the face: $ 22
I didn’t mind being asked what I wanted. But I resented the constant «up selling» and explanation of service. I just wanted a haircut. And I felt like I had to keep justifying it. For instance, when she brushed the hair out of my face, she AGAIN told me that I could pay extra for the shampoo so I wouldn’t have that problem later in the day.
I typically get my haircut at Gabbys (on Clark, north of Diversey). A haircut there is $ 15 and includes a neck shave with a straight razor! I’ve also had them shampoo me before and they didn’t charge me ANYTHING extra. And don’t get me started on the atmosphere at Gabbys — tons of great magazines, laid-​back attitude, great music, nice people, etc.
I chose to go to Sport Clips on this particular day because I figured that Gabby’s would have been packed. I will not make that mistake again. Gabbys is a FAR superior experience and (when necessary), worth the wait.

I would rate lower if I could. I went once, and will NEVER go back. The sad part is, I didn’t even get a haircut! I walked in, signed in and sat down. The woman that took my name knew I was a first-​time customer, and she assured me she’d be right with me. She went in the back, finished up with her customer, who paid and left. She told me she was going to clean up the hair. Before she finished, someone else had come in, said something to her, she agreed to cut his hair BEFORE mine, then he had the nerve to look at me and say «It’s alright. I’ll be quick,» like I had nothing else to do that day other than wait on his ignorant self. In fact, I had a wedding that day and was rushing to get my haircut. I was absolutely appalled. She didn’t even apologize to me. She just took him to get his hair cut, and left me sitting there. I was so disgusted, I just walked out. Had I said something to her, I probably would’ve left her in tears, so I opted just to never go to this place again.
That being said, after that HORRENDOUS experience, I went to GABBY’S on Clark and had a great experience. They’re cheap, and generally pretty quick. Forget about Sport Clips. They’re a typical chain that doesn’t give a shit about its customers.

You can get a great hair cut here. It doesn’t hurt the the girls are cute in their uniforms. The girl who cut my hair was friendly and really seemed interested in giving the best service. I got the cut that included a hot towel treatment and it was awesome. I hate when I’ve gone to other salons and the hair dresser is distracted, which usually results in a sub par hair cut, but that is definitely not the case here. I enjoyed the experience and will be back for my next cut.

The staff are very professional and they take their jobs seriously. My hair dresser is amazing because she pays attention to little details that no one would. I have been going there for 4 months and she knows me so well, she knows what to do with my hair right away.

Picture Hooters opening a hair salon.
I feel bad for the women working here.

I was at Marshall’s this weekend and found a coupon. As I was in need of a trim I walked in on a Saturday evening. The staff was fun and courteous. Rachel my stylist was perky, attentive and made some great suggestions.
I am busy so time is important to me but I will GLADLY take the time for a 30 minute spa treatment with sports on the tube any day. The top of the line treatment including a cut, body massage chair during the shampoo with Paul Mitchell products, neck and scalp massage, and a hot face towel all for under $ 25.00! You’ve got to be kidding me.
I went ahead and purchased the multi-​cut deal to lock in the low intro price. I look forward to my next spa session in 2– 3 weeks cuz trims are FREE!
