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.
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 . ❤
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 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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.

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!
