Sport Clips, Inc.

My husband came here for the second time to give them another shot, as the hair cut he received from Alex the first time was not good. This time he got his cut by Renee. When they took him back to the chair I followed back to hand my husband my phone as the picture of what he wanted was on it, then I sat back down. About 15 minutes into the hair cut I could see that this lady had no idea what she was doing. All my husband wanted was his head shaved evenly on both sides and to leave the top long so he could slick it back, not complicated at all. One of the other girls that works there actually stopped to ask her what cut she was giving him and then asked to see the pictures and verbally told Renee oh no you need to do this and that blah blah. Literally saying hey your not cutting that right. Then… THEN another gal came over and did the exact same thing. **If your job is to cut hair and you have an employee that obviously is not able to do that AND you still let her continue on a client wth is wrong with you. I actually got up and walked back grabbed my phone and said Hey are you going to blend the sides and cut the back. She straight said, «that’s not what he wanted». My husband is not confrontational at all but he was like that’s not what I said. I showed her the picture again and said this is what he wants and what your doing doesn’t look like this. She had the nerve to say Well that’s your opinion. F#*$ing excuse me??? In what world is it OK to say that to a paying customer? To make matters worse after I sat back down another girl that works there goes oohh you picked out his hair cut and laughed. They were lucky I didn’t loose my shit in front of about 6 other waiting customers. We were there an hour and a half for a cut that shouldn’t taken 15 minutes total. I have left a message to have the manager and owner contact me. This is absolutely the worst place to get a hair cut or service.

Too expensive for a mens haircut and the woman left my 6 year old with the most uneven haircut ive ever seen.

This used to be a good place to get my hair cut with very competent and nice people. I’m guessing this place was either bought or is under new management as the place has new people that aren’t as good as before, poor customer service skills, lesser salon skills and the person that was in charge seems to care more about counting tips than the customers’ well-​being. What a disappointment. I had purchased the larger multi-​visit package. Only used part of it as I’m throwing out the remainder — I’m not going back.

I’ve been coming to the SportClips in Shoreline for about a year. It is on the same quality level as your typical Great Clips or SuperCuts. Lower your expectations that you are getting anything more than a basic hair cut.
The MVP hair cut lists at $ 25, but you can usually find a discount or coupon, or buy a multiple haircut pass to reduce the cost. Of course, the extra cost comes with a short shampoo and head massage. Nothing earth-​shattering, but it is a nice touch.
The whole theme of sports everywhere is a little ridiculous. No one cares about whatever college sports event is playing on the dozen flat screens.
Overall, decent haircut, friendly staff. Usually waits are pretty short and I’m on my way.
They offer free neck trims as well, haven’t used it.

My husband and I went to the Shoreline Community ‘Festival’, SportClips had a ‘booth’ there and they were handing out the free haircut coupon. I should mention that both my husband and myself were given one.
THE GOOD PART
My husband went a couple of weeks ago and got his free cut, he was very happy with the service and the cut. He really like the scalp massage and hot towel, I’m guessing that he will go back again (his choice even if I’m less than impressed with them).
THE WAY LESS THAN GOOD PART
I decided to use my free haircut coupon, so I went today to get just a bit of a trim. I didn’t want more than a ½ inch (maybe even less) off the ends. I’m growing out my hair to donate to Locks of Love and it is down to the middle of my back. I didn’t want a shampoo or anything else.
I walk in and am told that I can sign in and there will be a half hour wait… okay, I don’t mind waiting so I sign in and then I’m told that it will be an EXTRA $ 10 for my cut since my hair is past my shoulders. I tell the stylist that I have my free haircut coupon and she tells me that it will still be $ 10 extra because they are a barbershop and usually do only men’s hair.
Huh…interesting since NO WHERE on the coupon does it say cutting/​trimming long hair is extra and not included in the free cut! There is also nothing on the coupon that refers to the shop as a Men’s barbershop. Although that is indicated here on Unilocal… I didn’t look up the Sport Clips website before I went today.
Since I don’t believe in arguing with someone who is going to be near my head and hair with sharp pointy scissors… I just crossed off my name and told them I would go somewhere else.

Four people standing at register trying to ring up one customer. We are waiting to get a haircut. If they can’t figure out a register I don’t know how they can cut hair. Two out of the four times I’ve visit this place was good but not great. Customer Service isn’t great, quality is so so as far as the stylist being able to understand what the customer wants. I’m not one to complain but I’ll be first to write a review. I’d say you are sitting at an overall star rating of 2.5 is say that pretty accurate. This time we walked out. I’m not going to go here again. I’d like to add… There is one lady in there we always try to avoid and I’ve complained before. I shouldn’t have to ask for a good stylist. Everyone there should know how to cut hair. Obviously it is a problem for not just me. I think you know who she is. Get rid of her and maybe your stars will improve.

I just had my hair cut by Kamelia, and all I have to say is that I’ve had a few bad haircuts in my day, but I’ve never had someone COMPLETELY IGNORE ANYTHING I ASKED FOR quite like she did.
I like to wear my hair fairly long, and I came in with about 3 inches of hair on my head. I asked for her to take off about an inch, but over the course of the next half hour, she managed to slowly but surely remove OVER TWO INCHES OF HAIR from my head! The amazing part about all of it was that at first, she cut off almost exactly what I wanted. She asked if I liked it and I gave her an emphatic yes! She said «Okay, just let me clean it up a little bit», and then proceeded to cut it WAY shorter than it already was. Again she asked «do you like it?», to which I said «yes» (It wasn’t so bad at this point, and I just wanted to leave), so what does she do? She cuts off EVEN MORE HAIR! She then took me to wash my hair, brought me back to the chair, and cut my hair even more! It was insane, and I honestly couldn’t believe it. I left in a state of shock.
This woman should be fired, and I very well may call and ask for a refund later today. If I could rate this ⁰⁄₅ I would.

The worst haircut I ever had… My hair is not a continuous function any more after the cut! There’re sudden valleys and peaks everywhere on my head… I’d rather just do it at home. Well, technically I didn’t pay for the cut cause I got a coupon for a free haircut. But this should not be the reason for this terrible experience!

This is my first review on Unilocal because I feel this review needs to be heard. I had to get a hair cut in a pinch, so today I took my chances again at this place. This is my 2^nd time coming here, the first time was a free haircut in promoting the place and I had a horrible cut, I totally could see she was inexperienced and my cut was bad very very bad. So today 7÷12÷2015, I took my chances and had an even worse cut than the first time with a different person, she even scammed me, I said I just wanted the haircut nothing else, she then took me to the back room and gave me a hot face towel, shampoo and scalp massage, I was thinking this is part of the basic hair cut at $ 16.00??? but of course in the end she charged me the $ 23.00, I just wanted to get out of there so I paid, I AM NOT GOING BACK TO THIS PLACE!!! I just recently retired from the military so I am very experienced in having a haircut, I been to many places and received a lot of haircuts, this is one of the worst places to go. My wife looked over my haircut and there is a line cut in the back where she obviously made a mistake, I was so mad I was about to go back there to have it fixed but I got other things to do, like writing this review and cautioning others about this sub standard place. I see others have posted this place is 5 stars, but believe me they are not, everyone that rated this place 5 stars may be used to getting a horrible cut they do not know the difference from a great haircut.

My boyfriend keeps getting his hair cut here and today was the last time… This is what he comes home looking like (picture to come…)

I wish I could attach a picture of my haircut. This is how I made fun of myself on Facebook with a picture of my haircut from sports clips in aurora plaza on 2÷20÷15. I will try adding one, but I have no idea if it will stay up.
«I think we should all take a moment and laugh at just how awful my haircut is. I swear she waved a pair of clippers around my head cutting tufts of it off. I asked for «slightly longer than finger length».
I used to get good haircuts here. There has been a lot of turnover. I will never go back. This is only the second time I’ve had to have a haircut fixed in my entire life. The first time was when I passed out drunk in college.
I send them a picture and they did offer to fix it, but that seemed like a really stupid idea. I’m wearing a hat until I find someone to fix it next weekend.
If I could give them zero stars I would. They completely failed at the only service they provide.

My husband and two teen-​aged sons have gotten their hair cut here since this franchise opened. They are strategic about not showing up at the busiest hours, so they have consistently received prompt care and the cuts have been fabulous. We always buy the ‘season ticket’ to ensure the best pricing. The sports on TV is key — makes the experience especially relaxing for them; and they love the hot towel service. Great cut, great price, nice people. The franchise owner is very community minded and friendly as well. Love to support this locally-​owned franchise.

My boyfriend gets his hair trimmed here when he’s not able to go to his normal barber (in Tacoma). He still prefers his normal barber but Sports Clips works in a pinch. The prices are reasonable, about on par with any other strip mall hair cutting place. They do a decent job on his hair. He’s black and ethnic hair can be a challenge if the stylist isn’t well trained or used to cutting it, but he says, «that white girl did a decent fade!» so the gal that cuts his hair must do okay haha.
Anyway, it’s conveniently located but there can be a long wait during peak hours. Overall he/​we will continue to use them, but it’s not a first choice if we can get to Tacoma to see his main guy.

Excellent place to stop without an appointment and get great service. Dena was able to see me right away, gave me a hot steam towel wrapped on my face a Teatree oil scalp massage and a perfect Saturday morning cut. Highly recommend very affordable very friendly!

I’ve had my hair cut here 4 or 5 times, mainly because I bougut one of their pre-​paid «season tickets» or whatever they are called. The price is good and if all you want is a buzz cut while watching sports, then you’ll probably like the place. Nikol was the manager and did a decent job on my hair twice (not the greatest personality) so I was hoping to see her again yesterday but when i called ahead to get on the wait list I was told she had quit. I came in anyway and some young gal with long, very black hair asked me to sign in. I tried to explain that i had called ahead but maybe she can’t read because she told me I wasn;t on the wait list, even though I could see my name on it. When I reached forward to show her and tapped my name on the clip board with my finger, she told me not to be rude! Maybe she was having a bad day, or maybe she’s simply clueless regarding how to speak to cutomers. In any case, I immediately left and took my business else where. I’ll probably never come backeven though i have two more hair cuts left on my season ticket.
I also had Dena twice, nice gal but I think she smokes too much because she is constantly clearing her throat, which gets a little gross after a while.

I’ve been here twice, the first time I had a gal named Kelly who was very nice, gave me a good cut and was very sensitive to my time table as I was in a bit of a rush.
I went here two days ago with more time on my hands and got the full experience. Rose was simply great. Very personable and extremely competent. One of the best looking cuts I’ve had and the scalp massage was a huge plus. Kind of salvaged a lame Sunday for me. Definitely will be coming back.

Love getting my haircut here by Mae

The haircut was ok, but the service was ready bad. Nicole, the hairdresser lacked all the manners of a good customer service. She was in a hurry to finish and was rude while talking to all customers. I am sure if the store doesn’t review their customer service, it will soon go out of business. They already lost me as a customer and probably all my network. I strongly recommend to avoid the shoreline location.

Great place to get a haircut for Men, kids, it is ran like a barber shop l shop, huge television screens, children and women are welcome there too. You can buy the MVP haircut which includes a neck and scalp massage, finishing with a warm towel and relaxation! My guy loves that part.

This store has exactly what I want in a barbershop: a good haircut at a good price. The sports theme and TVs tuned to sports channels throughout the store will appeal to many men. My stylist, Rose, did very nice work on my hair and cut it perfectly to my specifications. This location is ideal for those who live in Shoreline.
