Sport Clips

After a week or so after getting my haircut I am always surprised that it still looks great. Kayla does an awesome job styling your hair and is a ton of fun to talk to. In fact I always get my hair cut here and even though there is a wait (for good reason) I am always thankful Kayla takes the time to cut my hair right. I read the other reviews — most are 5 stars. Make sure you leave a reasonable tip (do you want to get $ 5 for 30 minutes of service) and remember the reason it takes time to get in is because most patrons are happy. I hope you don’t come visit this 5 star salon and I hope you don’t ask to see Kayla, that helps keep my wait time down. Seriously don’t — go somewhere else and get your 1 – 2 star haircut, leave a $ 3 tip and stay away from this salon — otherwise if you visit you will keep coming back. My only wish is that they had call ahead to get on the list.

I recently moved to Kent and for me its worth it to drive out of my way to get a great cut. I have had several stylists over the years and Kayla is definitely my favorite to work with. She has cut my hair several times with a few of those knowing what I wanted and a few times where we have talked it out and her recommendations are awesome. The service Kayla provides always exceeds my expectations and is by far the best value in salon treatment.

I have been attending sport clips in Issaquah since arriving in this beautiful state 18 months ago. I had no idea that a salon like this existed, I have experienced the MVP every time. I have always been very satisfied with the quality of service and recommend this salon to everybody I know.
All of the stylists work to a very high standard, especially Kayla who goes above and beyond my expectations every time, thank you Kayla.

A very clean and friendly place to get an great haircut. Kayla is amazing, she always takes extra time making sure its just right and is always very entertaining. It’s the only place I’ll go.

I get my cut here quite frequently and love the friendly staff and service. Kayla is amazing!

Good communication by a friendly and upbeat stylist is the key to getting the right haircut every time. Kayla is doing a fantastic job of delivering great service. She gave me an awesome haircut. She’s a Gene Juarez trained stylist who made me feel like part of the family (not just another customer) at Sport Clips. I really appreciated her positive attitude and professionalism. Treating people right never goes out of style!

Jennifer did my hair and I have been having trouble getting someone to cut it correctly. I wear it longer than most guys, it’s kinda thick too but it’s not down to my shoulders. She did a great job, it’s thinned nicely and lies well.
The MVP service was great too, shampoo massage and hot towel were great!

I have never gotten better treatment getting a haircutt as I received here. I don’t normally go out of my way to make a review but I really felt these girls deserved it. Kayla is by far my favorite though. And I still spent a lot less than going to a salon. Well worth the money I paid and then some.

I have been a regular here for some time but the last two times were not that fantastic. The time before last I had Anna, who is the Assistant Manager, and she twice talked to a man on the haircutting floor who was apparently a friend of hers while she was cutting my hair. She stopped everything to talk to him, and then she banged me in the head with the head dryer and laughed but never apologized.
Today I showed up and they were quite busy. They said it would be a 45 minute wait so I told them I would be right back, I was gone about 20 minutes, and somehow they got to my place much quicker so they skipped over me. When I came back, I tried to determine where I would be placed. I was taken almost right away which was great but the manger Rachael, I believe her name was argued for about 5 minutes with two other stylists about who should have been taken in what order, and she made it sound like it was my fault that I was next. Whatever the mix-​up was, it shouldn’t have been discussed on the cutting floor in front of me and the two other men. They should have excused themselves and gone in the office or lounge for a minute or so to settle this difference. Not in front of customers. Haircut and service from my stylist was good. I just hope they resolve these issues on the floor while you are having your hair cut in the future.

My son got a hair cut and I was tired and paid by cash. The lady not only did not give me change back she didn’t even give me any receipt. Not only that, it was frustrating to go back. She insisted I have her $ 20. Not only she wasted my time, no apologies were given.

Kayla is wonderful! Her skills in men’s cuts are amazing and her personality that comes with the service makes the appointment time fun and entertaining ;) everyone go see miss Kayla!!!

Before getting my hair cut by Jenn, I was going to the same stylist for 10+ years mainly cause I didn’t know where else to go. Jenn knew exactly how to cut it so that it looks good that day, the next week and a month after. I love my new look! Thank you Jenn! If you want a haircut that actually lasts for an awesome price go to Jenn at sports clips in issaquah.

I am severely dissapointed in the Issaquah Sports Clips. Although I have had many enjoyable experiences there today was the second time I had a stylist name Cham. She has butchered my hair twice now. She does not know the concept of bangs or a fade, half of my head is round while the other is flat. When washing my hair she was overly aggressive even when I told her she was hurting my scalp, she painfully washed my hair for what felt like forever including getting soap in my eyes, when rinsing she sprayed water down my neck soaking my shirt. Instead of returning to work I had to go home to change. I would suggest another stylist but the wait is already long enough. It is unfortunate one bad apple can ruin an establishment.

I’m not sure why this place is rated so poorly. Granted, most every time I’ve come to this location it’s been 10 or more people deep waiting and I then go to the Bellevue location, but they must be doing something right if it’s constantly busy.
I was able to get in after 5 min this time and had a great experience! Celina was very nice and knew when to ask questions and make me feel welcome and when to let me just sit back and relax. She was very attentive and I noticed others having an enjoyable experience as well.
I really don’t know why others are so down on this place. If you’re having a bad day or are in a hurry, don’t come to a place of business and take it out on them — especially online like with Unilocal.That’s just plain stupid and causes businesses to lose potential customers just because you couldn’t wait or had a bad day, not a bad experience.

Great place but only 4 stars cause it’s not the same vibe without Tina. Bring her back!

Always busy, the stylists are below average and not very friendly. The manager is the only decent stylist. My son gets a fade and it’s always uneven. Still on the lookout for a good barber in Issaquah.

My first trip to Sports Clips in Washington and first in a long time was to this store a couple weekends ago.
Sports Clips essentially caters to men, if you do not know. Sports on TV’s, nice little steam towel with your hair cut, free neck trims between cuts are a few of the things that set them apart from other barber shops. So after hearing an ad for them on the radio a few weeks back, I was determined to enjoy the experience while getting «cleaned up.»
Went on a Sunday, (in Issaquah at that), which I now immensely regret. Apparently men think alike because the place was SO… FULL! Not exactly a relaxing way to spend a Sunday. Men also like simplicity and peace is the problem with this… at least I do.
I typically patronize my local frinendly Vietnamese barber, (either in Renton or Kent) for a cheap, quick and easy experience so this particular day was definitely not proving to be an improvement over that.
Once I got in, things went pretty well and I decided I would still come back for the free neck trim and hope that the second time would go better.

Took my 2 boys here, one left with just an OK cut, but no better than I could do at home. The other unfortunately looked like he lost a bet. Poor little guy got scalped on the sides of his head 2 inches completely gone above his ears, uneven front with 2 chunks just missing! I usually trim the boys hair myself, and I’m NOT a stylist but the boys hair looks 10x better when I do it at home (taught by watching a YouTube video) than it did when they walked out of here today! We went here because we had an event to go to, but were short on time. Instead of saving time, we left with $ 50 less cash and having to spend even more time to fix both kids hair at home tonight. — Unless you are going here for a cut to match your Halloween costume as a chemo patient stay away!

I honestly do not like the way Sportclips operates and really do not like you can’t call ahead or make a reservation. My most recent trip this past Friday will probably be my last; I had to wait nearly an hour to be seated for my cut. A person before me lasted 30 minutes before he got up and walked out, also stating to the staff why he was leaving. The response from the girls was laughter, very unprofessional and off-​putting. I was going to give this 2 stars, however the service I received from Tara was outstanding and lifted this by a star. I think I’ll try that locomotive barber shop down the road on Gilman to see if that is better.

First time for me at sport clips as I had to give it a try for mailing the $ 10 MVP coupon. Regular price would have been about $ 24 so it was a good deal overall.
This place is interesting as it looks like inside a locker room within a business for haircuts. It has flat screen TV’s to keep you entertained by showing ESPN hence the name sport clips.
My haircut today was done by a new employee and she took extra care of cutting my hair plus you also get a scalp message and shampoo while you get the MVP service. The interesting thing is that they also sit you in a message chair and also put a hot towel over your head while they wash your hair.
I thought she did an ok job as I was her first customer and she gave me her name for referal for next time. Plus she seemed friendly over our conversations.
They also have a free birthday haircut when you sign up by email.
