Tldr: if you have wavy/curly hair, avoid the purple hair, shaved sides and glasses lady at all costs. She doesnt know how to cut curly hair I guess.So I have been here before and I just want to rate my recent experience. The lady with purple hair for some reason threw her license out the window. She never asked me how I wanted my hair styled other than how much I wanted off. I told her as she was going to start cutting that I liked it blended and and the front pushed to the side. She then didnt ask me if I wanted my hair blended or parted (I like my hair blended) and proceeded to part it. She did the whole cutting routine but for some reason something seemed off, and I dont know if she was new, but she dried my curly/wavy hair as if it was supposed to be straight. She just cut off the inches, never did any texturing, and cut the entire back uneven. It was so bad that my girlfriend WITHOUT a license had to fix it and DID fix it. I know the first time I went to someone else it was one of the best haircuts Ive gotten, but the girl with the purple hair, shaved sides and glasses just didnt know what she was doing.
It’s a decent environment to get your haircut, the staff are all friendly and professional, so long as you get someone who isn’t just starting out. My only complaint would be that new staff could use closer mentoring. I’ve been a victim of butchering once or twice, but that comes with the territory I guess. I still love the concept and have found an amazing stylist in Kandyse!
Not a detail oriented haircut or experience any time Ive been here, and the fact that this location doesnt participate in the nationalized Sportsclips punch card reward system is frustrating, off-putting and preposterous. Its an insult to the customer paying a premium, theres really no incentive to keep coming back and it appears that theres some issues with the owners and how they take care of their stylists; its an extremely high turn-over rate. If I cant even establish a relationship with a regular person to cut my hair AND theres no reward system on top of climbing prices... yeah, I can easily find somewhere else. No reason not to.
Wow. The older lady just chopped my head up. No idea how to shave or fade
Worst haircut Ive ever gotten, stylist didnt attempt conversation.
Theres a reason that Sara usually has the longest wait time. She is very skilled and does an amazing job. Shes very personable. While she is shampooing your hair she massages your scalp and you feel like you are in an expensive salon. I highly recommend waiting for Sara if you go to this location.
Everyone is so nice and the service I receive each time is wonderful! I will continue to be a customer!I LOVE my haircut! Thank you ariel, She was professional, gave suggestions, and made sure she understood what I had in mind.Receptionists were welcoming as usual. Ariel is awesome, she is sweet and pay are thin to what customer says and also holds a good conversation with her customer. Thank you so much Ariel . ❤
Friendly staff, usually they get the cut my hair right the way I want and I change my style frequently. The stylists always try go above and beyond to get the cut just so. No complaints.
Our stylist was amazing. Elayna listened to my kid chatter away the whole time and chatted right along. His hair also came out wonderfully.
Amy c did a great job and made me fill at easy
I visited today for the first time and it was by far the best haircut experience I have ever had. Kelly was my stylist and she did a phenomenal job. My hair looks great and I was blown away by all the extras they do! From back, neck, and shoulder massages to steam towels and free trim ups what else could you want! If youre a guy that wants to have a great haircut experience stop by Sport Clips on Neil St.!
I recently visited sports clips at 1903 N Neil St Suite A in Champaign, IL. My stylist was Andi K and she is always very nice and makes sure i am taken care of. The staff at both Champaign, IL locations have always been friendly whenever i visit. Thank you to sports clips for opening two locations in the champaign area!
The staff was very kind and apologetic.There was a long wait because they are very short handed. However a great hair cut by Ariel
The team they have here is beyond awesome! Heather the assistant manager always cuts my hair and does an amazing job every time. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of giving them a try (especially for the first time because you get the VIP package free) Heather you rock!!!
Sara is HIGHLY skilled. Sport clips definitely has some quality stylists on pay roll. And my hair has been neglected for some time now so this was not just a regular haircut. Great experience Thank you sport clips.
Had Darian as my stylist, she was wonderful. Very talkative, not a dull moment being in the chair. She made me look 10 times better than I did when I came in (trust me, the wife was happy about that one). The establishment looked clean and very professional. Everyone was wearing their Covid masks and practicing their social distancing. Was able to watch highlights of old college football games while getting a wonderful haircut, relaxing mvp, and a good conversation. I’m a simple man so that’s 5 stars in my book. If I could suggest anything it would be to go in anytime you see Darian B. On the list of stylists, you will very much be more than satisfied.
I was driving from Mississippi to Georgia, and decided to stop and get a haircut. The stylist was very professional, and polite. The service was quick, and efficient. I have always enjoyed Sports Clips as a treat to myself, with the little extra features that you receive. Great job.
Jessica was great with my 7 year old. Very good stylist. I will go back to her.
Worst system I have ever seen. Received a text that my stylist would be available in less than 10 minutes. My name was listed as on deck along with one other who wasnt in the store. 20 minutes later my name flipped to 31 minutes, and I asked if the system was accurate. The two stylists said no. They then asked my name and the one other customers name (who had been listed at 24 minutes when I was on deck). The stylist told me I would be after him. I told them no thanks and their system is broken. If you are a walk in, do NOT ever waste your time on Sport Clips.
I stopped in while I was passing through and got my hair cut by Sara. She did a amazing job and was please with the time and attention to detail she put in. If I am ever back in the area I will be stopping in to get my hair cut again by her.
I came in on the 1st of August, 2019 and got my hair cut by Sara. She did an excellent job, and I genuinely enjoyed the experience at the store.Recommend to promote Sara ahead of her peers.
Though this establishment is clearly marketed with men in mind, I am a female with a short haircut and Ive always had a great experience at SportClips! The stylists keep notes on how theyve cut your hair before, so Ive had consistent results no matter who is working that particular shift. The MVP Treatment (shampoo, steamed towel, and shoulder massage) is always a treat. Their tea tree oil products smell pleasant without having an overwhelmingly masculine or feminine scent. The place is neat and clean. Their services are affordable (with free neck trims in between, if thats something you need). And no one at SportClips tries to talk me out of my haircut. Definitely recommend.
Had very long hair from not cutting it from staying at home from covid and very clostraphobic was wearing a face shield and they where very patient and thoughtful and was able to give me a wonderful MVP haircut.
Fun and entertaining staff. Was very clean and seemed happy to be doing what they do . Products seemed to be of good quality and I actually bought some for the first time in my life.The massage I would’ve paid more to last longer . Felt refreshed when I left to go conquer the bar scene downtown.
Came in at the last minute while my wife was shopping nearby. Got a great haircut and good conversation with the stylist about our family and pets. Was very relaxing. I will come back.
Im writing this review to save you from a terrible haircut. I ended up buzzing my hair because it looked so bad. Maybe I am an outlier but Ive never had a worse experience and so I felt the need to share. For reference I just asked for a 6 on the sides and scissors on top.Here is a list of what went wrong:1. First thing she did when I sat down was put a glob of tee trea moisturizer in my hair without asking, which made my hair sopping wet the entire time.2. She faced me away from the mirror so at no point could I see what she was doing to my hair.3. After cutting my hair she combed the front straight down so that my wet hair looked like 12 even strands of hair going down the front of my head. To which she asked, Does that look good?.4. When she used scissors to cut my hair above my ear, she didnt blend it in at all so there is a visible diagonal line where one side has longer hair than the other.5. She used the clippers way too high so that I barely had any hair left on top of my head.I actually could go on but I think Ill just leave it at that.
This is the only place we go. Our boys love them. One hair stylist even did push up with my 5 year old. The manager let my 1 year play with her phone while she did his hair. I could not ask for better service.
I got a haircut from jade, she did a great job!! Love the cut!!!The massage and shampoo was phenomenal, If your in town and need a great cut this place is the spot!
Haircut was uneven. Just a really bad cut.
First time going to Sportclips and I got the best young lady Elayna. I was her first customer and she did a great job. I would recommend her anytime.
I always have an amazing experience here and have never had poor service or a bad haircut. Cannot recommend this store highly enough. The online check in is great and the stylist there named Maddie is absolutely amazing.
Went to this Sport Clips from out of town last minute needing a quick trim. Jessica made me feel amazing after I walked out. She was kind, professional and spent extra time on me. I walked out feeling human again. Not like the chia pet I walked in as. The rest of the night was a a date night that was awesome Bc tue lady who cut my hair, actually cared about what she was doing. Thank you Jessica.
Everything was great except there was a really long wait, it may have been just that once that it was so busy though. The haircut was great though, it was exactly the why I had asked and the haircut itself went pretty quickly. Overall it was pretty good👍
The girls are all very professional. Make sure your happy before you leave. They their job like they enjoy what they do. Always a good atmosphere
Stopped in to get a quick haircut and my stylist was Sarah shes very personable and really a sweet person did an excellent job my hair has never looked better highly recommend Sarah that girl deserves a promotion
The haircut i received was excellent!! The store was clean and the stylist was very personable... Very nice experience.. Will most certainly be returning for the next cut... Thanks Shunnika...
Great haircut and fast service. Love being able to check in on my way so I never have to wait when I get there. If you looking for a nice quick cut their is a great place to go.
Ive been coming to this location every 2-3 weeks for almost 3 years and I love the service here. A few of the girls even remember me by name as soon as I walk in the door. I really cant recommend this place enough! Keep up the good work SportClips.
Ive never disliked a haircut from this sport clips location. The stylists are friendly and fun to talk to
Jade gave me a great haircut!!! She was also very sweet . Great service, very friendly atmosphere. I would definitely recommend Sport Clips!!!
Used to be a nice place to go for a quick walk in appointment, but ever since the company released the book ahead feature, good luck in getting in to get a walk in appointment. And if you do decide to still do a walk-in appointment, then dont expect to be hold in until it is your turn as they stick to the waitlist hardcore even if the next person up isnt there.
Mercedes gave me a great haircut and helped me decide what I wanted to do. The MVP treatment was super relaxing and since it was my first time I got a coupon for a free haircut for a friend which gets me a free haircut when we use it.
Im in Champaign for several months, and this SportClips location is the 4th haircut Ive gotten in town at 4 different barbershops. SportClips was far and away the most expensive, and while that does include washing/shampooing your hair, there are perks notably absent at this price point that is available at other barbershops in town (no straight edge on the neck line, for example).If the haircut had been decent, Id still give them at least 3 stars, but it was the worst haircut Ive had in several years while also being the most expensive haircut Ive had. Upon leaving, I noticed it looked like my hair was lying funny but I thought Id fix that at home. However, at home it seemed to perpetually look as though Id just removed a bicycling helmet. I spiked my hair up and noticed two areas that were 3/4-1 longer than the rest of the top. This is perhaps forgivable at a discount haircutter, but not when youre the most expensive hair cut in town.I highly recommend taking your business to Andys Barber Shop ($20), or Kings Barber Shop in Urbana ($12) - both offer a much better cut at a lower price.
Bad. Did not get haircuts my son and I wanted. Not even close. Had to tell them over and over what we wanted and they cut our hair as tho they cut what they wanted. Or maybe its the only haircut they knew. I will never go back. Massage? Worthless. Hot towel? So. All fluff no talent. I need real barber. Not girls right out of beauty school. Sorry. But true.
From out of state. Never been to sportclips. The girl spent zero time and gave zero effort. Didn’t even attempt to get the cut hair off me. No attempt at conversation. For an 18$ hair cut this is garbage. Will not return.
Horrible I called to see if they where busy and they said if I get here within 10 mins they can do the cut, so I did and ended up waiting over 30mins so I just left
Maddie was so good with my 14 year old boy. His cut was great and she showed him how to use hair product. Hes looking great!
Staff are professional and courteous. Haircut was done right. She was easy to talk to while cutting hair. Highly recommend them!
Jade has given me multiple haircuts now. She does a great job with the cut and is great to to talk to as well!
Never really had a bad haircut here, and I usually book my appointments online using the app to make sure the stylists I use are working that day.
My experience was really good. I liked my stylist and thought she did a great job. I loved how my haircut looked!
Super Clean it has a really cool thyme! It one of a kind:) the hair cuts I get makes me want to come back again! Most recommended place Try It!
Hubby got his haircut & hot towel treatment here, & was the best cut ever!! Too bad we cannot find one where we live. We were visiting Champagne for a week♡♡
Was an awesome experience. I dont even watch sports, but the hairstylists are just right in every way. They do a great job at cutting the hair!!!
Chelsea did awesome job !
EVERYONE in here is AMAZING. Fantastic customer service and great attitudes. I recommend this place over any other place. Just the way the place is designed and how professional they really changes the going to the Barbor experience! In a good way! 10 out of 10 will visit again
Quality really depends on who cuts here. Four of us got a haircut and was far ranging on the quality from fairly good to had to go get it corrected.
Ive never had a bad haircut and the extras like a hot towel, scalp massage, and shoulder rub are the cherry on top!
This was my first visit here. While Hannah was efficient and gave me a decent cut, didnt feel I got the full VIP treatment I paid for.
I Asked for just a bit trimmed off my top and she trimmed a whole 3 inches off and did not do so well on the fade. Not having her as my stylist next time!
I had a great first experience at sports clips! Courtney was really helpful and friendly. Definitely I will be back for sure!!!
First time using Sport Clips, Jade did good job, she is friendly and I am happy with the service.Thank you
Came in close to closing time and the stylist still did a very good job and didn’t seem to be rushed. Will come again!
Took my son in for a haircut. Fast friendly and efficient. Would definitely get my hair cut here....if I had any.
I am always treated well
Friendly, accommodation and knowledgeable. I will return. Love the shampoo n massage.
Elayna did a great job with my haircut - always excellent service at my local Sport Clips !
I love getting my haircut their and that hairstylists Melinda does an awesome job!
This place is awesome girls are very nice and theres even a shower in there I would tell anyone that come and get their haircut go here
It was the fastest haircut i ever had. It took less than 5 minutes.
The staff is excellent and always cut exactly how you ask. Fantastic place if you are looking for a haircut!
I work here and love it.great company great clients great team. I brought my son and his friend and they loved the mvp and always ask to bring them back just for the mvp service
Very Professional, Very Polite, Very Relaxing. I will be returning. The experience I had was excellent!
Mercedes did a great job!
Absolutely amazing!there grilling was top tier!
After a very difficult start the service has improved 100%. Still need some minor understandings but a great improvement over my initial visit.
Amazing stylist, ambience, personal care as MVP. You just cant afford to miss this outlet...One feels at home:)
I like getting my hair cut at Sport Clips and the WISE GUY treatment is relaxing and excellent for stress relief. 👍👍
I love it at Sport Clips the ladies do a wonderful job and who wouldnt love the Mvp, steam towel shampoo and massage.
Best hair cut in champaign urbana if your a guy. Quick and professional service with a smile.
I am a regular here and really like them taking notes each time and letting me check in online. The price is too high I think though.
Took time to understand what I wanted, didnt rush the cut. Liked the final outcome. MVP is overrated. Expensive though.
They did a great job cutting my 3 yr olds hair!!
Customer service excellent the employees are very good at their job keep it up nice to customers at all times
Always the best service. I love going to the one by Market Place mall Andi K. she is the best and the only one I go to.
Friendly stylists that know what they are doing
Quality haircuts and friendly stylists. A bit expensive, but they do nice work.
Terrible haircut,she was more interested in her phone,really chopped my hair up.
I didnt give it credit before when I was doing great clips and super cute. Went once and have been going back since.
I did not have to wait very long and the stylist was great!
Longer wait than usual. Very professional. Took great care of my son and nephew
Very kind and friendly staff. Got a cut from shunnika. I was pleased with my cut.
In one word - Perfect! 100% the best hair salon in Champaign!
The haircut was excellent and Jamie did an amazing job with the haircut and the shave
Waited 13 minutes anstill never even got to speak to anyone..... did not get haircut left and will not return. Terrible customer service!
Very accommodating. Professional staff. Always a good haircut.
Wouldnt go any where else for a hair cut unless it’s a real barber
Friendly staff and good haircuts for the price.
The service here has always been good. But, it can get pretty busy so get there early.
A great experience again! I always get the VIP treatment, and when they say VIP ... they MEAN IT!!!

Went here first before going to the second location. Place was packed seeing one stylist with 4 people waiting wasnt an equation that seemed logical to me so I headed to the other one.

2022-04-03We went for a kids cut (3yrs old) which we kind of dread at this point because he just hates them sooo much. Elayna did a phenomenal job, she not only made it all the way through without him having a melt down but he laughed and loved getting his haircut! He told everyone he saw the next 2 days he got a hair cut! I’ve cried happy mama tears over the experience ❤️ Thank you so much!

2022-06-21I had a little apprehension because I had been growing my hair in for a year and looking for someone to trim it up but not do something weird. Jenna did a great job and gave me exactly what I wanted. I will definitely go to her from now on, with confidence :)

2022-06-25My poor poor husband literally got his hair butchered. He is already really thin up top. Now he is on his way home to shave it. He is too nice and didn’t want to embarrass the lady who cut it. He said he kept telling her how he wanted it. She 100% doesn’t know how to fade or do small little trims up top. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Even for people who aren’t picky about their hair. I have never seen my husband this upset. Shoot I’m upset and embarrassed for him. Wish he was hope so I could take pictures and add them. Just imagine someone trimming a straight line across your head, and giving you bangs on the side of your head. Shoot my 11 year old could have done better. Not sure how this lady graduated cosmetology school.

2022-07-21Awful service. Waited an hour and couldn’t even get so much as a “Hello”. The two ladies working tonight need fired. No sense of customer service at all. I think I’d rather try to train my dog to cut hair than to waste another hour in this establishment especially since I even called ahead over an hour in advance and they said no appointments needed.
Review №5
2019-11-21Got a haircut for the first time at sports clips and they did an awesome job, my hair is actually difficult to cut because of the cowlicks that I have but they did an awesome job cutting it. Very clean place and little wait, will definitely be back. Thanks ladies. 👍

2021-05-29Today I took my 2 year old nephew who is very uncomfortable with getting his haircut to this location. I warned them that he would be very upset and scared and checked to make sure they didn’t mind. They were extremely kind and welcoming. Elayna was his stylist today and she was great with him! He was very upset for the entire duration of his haircut and even other employees offered Disney+ on their phones to try to help console him. I am extremely grateful for everyone’s kindness and patience from Sports Clips! His hair looks great and although he screamed the whole time everyone was extraordinarily kind to us and welcomed us back. Thank you so much guys! Absolutely take your kids here!

2022-04-21Everyone is friendly and does a great job for what i need done. Cant thank them enough for just a wash blow dry.
