Floyd’s 99 Barbershop

Amazing place, amazing service, I got my first straight razor shave, head and face. Eddie was my barber and he is top notch. When I return to Chicago, I will definitely be coming back to Floyd’s to see Eddie.

I usually try to give good reviews but I was really disappointed from this hairdresser! I tried to tell her what kind of haircut I wanted and even showed her a picture. I told her that I want most of it cut with the scissor. In the end did she cut mist of it with the machine and it does bot even look close to what I wanted!
No good work!

I’ve been searching for a good barber shop around Chicago since I’ve moved here, this one is by far the best cut and customer service that I’ve come across. Natasha was the one who cut my hair, I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she took the time to look at every detail. She took her time during the cut and when she was finished, it was just as I wanted. I’d recommend Floyd’s to anyone.

Always a pleasure to go to Floyds and get my haircut. Friendly and very good at what they do. Sarah M is a pro and gets my hair right every time and will do whatever it takes to make sure I love it.

So I’ll preface this review by saying I have never had a bad experience with Floyd’s. I usually go to the location on Milwaukee Ave in Wicker park. I stopped into the Ohio St location for the first time this past week. The woman cutting my hair didn’t listen to anything I said I wanted. For the past few months I have been growing my hair out and just getting trims to keep it from looking uneven. I told her I wanted a 5 guard clipper on the sides and back with it tapered to a 3.5 guard on the bottom. She started using a 2.5 guard clipper and even though I wasn’t facing the mirror, I could see how much hair was coming off. I immediately voiced my concerns but she told me it would look good. Nothing she did ever made it look good. She wanted to use a 6 guard on the top but I told her boldly that I wanted a scissor cut on top with only a little bit (maybe a quarter of an inch) taken off. She ended up taking a full inch off the top because she couldn’t get it even and kept cutting. At this point I was disgusted. I should’ve voiced my opinion when I checked out but I just wanted to leave because I was so mad. I’ve never had someone cut my hair and not listen to what I wanted. I even told her I had a cut just 3 weeks ago so not much needed to be taken off. After using a barber shop in Lincoln Park for 2 years, I might be going back after this. Now that it’s been a few days since my cut, I can look in the mirror and tell how uneven my hair is.

Great cut, staff and prices…

After the guy I’d been going to for over a year elsewhere cancelled my appointment at the last minute because he’d decided to go on vacation, I decided to give Floyd’s a shot since I work in the area and needed a quick touch-​up before going out of town for a wedding. I’m typically not one who likes change when it comes to hair stylists. When I start going to someone, I hate cheating on them. I like being able to sit down and say «have at it» and knowing it’ll come out great every time… so to switch stylists at the last minute and right before a wedding: yikes.
I had Tyler for my cut and couldn’t have left happier. He took his time, asked all the right questions (many of which I didn’t know the answers to since I usually just let my regular guy go at it and do what he wants), and gave me a perfect cut and fade. With more comments than usual on how great the cut looked, I’ll definitely be back.
Bonus: They’re open late which is awesome if you’re trying to get in after work.

I really don’t like having to give bad reviews but there’s no way I can avoid this as it was the literally the worst job I’ve ever had done. All I needed was a 1 back and sides, short on top. So messy and uneven, no fade at all, I tried my best to guide them to fix it but instead I got told it was the lights or the shape of my head!
I’ve had the same haircut since I can remember and this is the first time I’ve ever had to come home and shave my hair all off straight after a cut. Stick to your normal barbers or you’ll be disappointed, believe me.

Tracy is the best colorist! She keeps me looking young and trendy. Never had a bad hair cut or color job. Every time I see her, I come out of the shop looking like a new person.

I needed to have my hair colour corrected and fixed after a bad salon experience and when my husband went here and told me they have dedicated colourists at this store I thought l’d make an appointment. My consultation was with Sarah (could be spelt Sara) was great, she was so patient as I didn’t really know what I wanted but needed to cover up patchy bits of red left from the last disaster. She made excellent suggestions and we got started.
What a perfectionist and also a lovely personality.
If I lived in Chicago, she would be my go to every time!
Salon was inviting and laid back, I would 200% recommend this place.

Brilliant place!
I walked in and asked for a haircut… waited 5 mins and was in.
My barber listened to my requests for style, then she also made suggestions.
Great comfortable old school with new school haircut and grooming experience.
The best!

It was such a disappointment because we live on this street– my boyfriend gets his hair cut every other week and we were so excited to have a barbershop basically right next door instead of hiking to Irving park where he normally goes.
He focused on going to a barber, David. It was just a sloppy mess, fade was funky, and his beard was chopped with a lot of different levels and this is after he asked him to fix it. Don’t want to throw him under the bus because he just seemed new and I’m sure he will get it together but it was so bad we had to go to his regular barber a few days later.
We may give this place another chance because we are desperate for the convenience but if it doesn’t improve with another barber then that’s a wrap.
Otherwise– dope space.

I love it when my barber pays attention to the haircut, and I am not seemingly on a conveyer belt. Katie W gave me a great haircut! She was cute and very helpful and paid a lot of attention to my hair. I had a great fade and she helped transition my haircut into the beard! LOVED the shoulder rub after — it was totally relaxing!

I needed and new place to get my hair cut and this just opened across the street from my office, which is perfect! The staff was friendly and got me in same-​day when I called ahead.
Sarah was my stylist and wow! She knew what she was doing! My hair isn’t easy to cut do to different growth patterns throughout it, but she gave me exactly the faded disconnected undercut I was looking for. My night job is at a Boystown bar, so it’s nice to have a trendy haircut… EVERYone took notice of my new do and loved it. Thanks, Sarah! I will be returning to this Floyd’s again soon!

This place just opened up around the corner from me. It has reasonable pricing for being in Chicago. I call ahead too and get my name on the list and then walk over, which is a plus as I am not one that likes waiting around. I was out on my bike getting it fixed and did not have a lock and they had no problem with me bringing it in the store, so that too was a plus. This place is my new local barbershop. Sorry Bertha’s.

My new favorite barbershop! In my opinion Floyd’s Barbershop is as good or better than many of the expensive salons that I have been and their prices are much less.
Megan was my stylist and did a great job!

I was extremely nervous to come here. I wanted a new hairstyle to go along with my new job but had waited until the Sunday before to do something. I checked Unilocal to see what salon was open today and Floyd’s 99 came up. The reviews were great but I’m African-​American and I was worried how it may turn out. I called to ask if they felt comfortable doing my hair type and the receptionist said it wouldn’t be a issue. Megan did my hair. She was extremely knowledgeable about all types of hair and even gave me tips on how to grow thicker eyelashes. She took extra time to straighten my hair in small sections. I actually forgot I was at a chain. I highly recommend checking them out. I’ll definitely be back to Megan at Floyd’s for future trims and cuts.

Great experience! Definitely recommend Megan. She knows what she’s doing and has a great personality! Now I’m set looking good for my time here in Chicago!

First time at a lloyds, love the call 30 min ahead situation. Chill place. Friendly staff. Cat was awesome. She went out of her way to make sure everything was tight and right. Best haircut I’ve had in a while. Happy guy

It’s a brand new location which is nice! It’s right by my work and so I figured I’d give it a try for a quick clean up. I walked in and was greeted right away! The woman at the front desk set me up with Eddy. I would definitely recommend sitting down in his chair! He was great! Easy to talk to, detailed and professional! I will be going back to see him!
