Reviews of Floyd's 99 Barbershop (Barber Shop)

Kranthi Theja

I was impressed by the service I received on my first visit. I am new to the area and was concerned about finding a good barber but I'm glad I found Flyod's 99 Barbershop. The stylist took her time and did a great job unlike some who rush through it. Will revisit and would recommend to anyone who is in search of a decent barbershop.

Very expensive I got my haircut & shave my face without razor & they charge me $47 when other places charge only $28 I won't recommend this place at all

Rishima Patel

what a bad experience. This so called haircutter there, Kate is awful not only in cutting hair but in social skills. She has such a screw face on (mean look) and she is not personable on any level. It seems as though she just wants to get her job over with and move on. She didnt listen to one word I said about my request on my haircut. She insisted it was the way it is done and that is that, when I have been getting my hairstyled the same way at other places and there are no issues! I now have come home with the worse haircut and loose hanging pieces that havent been cut right. Words of advice DO NOT GO TO KATE AT FLOYDS!

Will Pippen

Great location. Staff is very courteous.

Noah Nadeem

Very Friendly Staff !

Andrew Baicar

Great service.

Cody Barnes

This place is awesome, and they are very welcoming. One thing to note is that it took me two or three cuts to find a stylist I could trust every time. If it’s your first time, ask for Courtney A.

Jordan Hagenberger

While Courtney is definitely my favorite, everyone working here is capable and friendly.

Kris Singleton

Aubrey is great, HIGHLY recommended!

Joshua Crist

Walk-ins apparently no longer possible. Understaffed and/or blocking too much time for scheduled slots. I was able to get a walk-in cut for years with no issues and <20 minute wait. I've tried about 4 times recenrly to be turned away with 1-2 hour waits, not because they are busy, but because they only have 1-2 of their chairs staffed. Today someone was even open with no one waiting, and I was still turned away.

Nicole Wright

I went in for a walk-in hair cut on a Sunday about 2 weeks ago. I had Syvonne and she was awesome! I haven't gone to a salon probably about 2-4 years because I'm never totally happy with the cut that I get. I've just been cutting my hair and bangs myself for the past few years. However, I decided to try Floyd's and I can't wait to go back for my next haircut! Syvonne totally understood what I wanted. I also had some questions about color and she gave me great advice, as I might want to try some color eventually. She seemed really skilled and even explained how and why she was doing certain things when she was cutting it. I usually am not a big talker when getting my hair cut, but chatting with her came naturally and it was fun! Loved the shampooing too! Really reasonable prices.

Matthew Regan

Great barbershop - Chris will treat you right!

Brittany Blucher

I came here for the haircut experience I’ve associated with the other Floyd’s locations. I made an appointment the previous night and the following morning seemed to go wrong from the beginning. The stylist was late to work, so I waited, then she spent my whole experience talking about her family who was coming in, and then paying attention to her family that came in. I felt like it was unprofessional but was prepared to pay my 20 some dollars, a normal tip and get out. When I got to the register, the stylist instructed the receptionist to charge me for a mid-length cut. Going in, my hair was only slightly longer than a pixie and just needed to be trimmed up. Absolutely ridiculous. I regret not taking it to a manager. I might be more forgiving if it looked like I had a $40 cut instead of a poorly assessed trim.

Casey Holihan

I have an v-shaped undercut. I got it done originally here and the lady was wonderful and my hair looked great. However I have gone back twice to get it just trimmed down and a simple design and both times they messed it up. They said they could do it and they lied. The first lady just messed up the design which is fine because it will grow out, but the second lady shaved even more of my head, made the point off centered, and made the design look awful. I would not recommend floyds for any undercut needs.

Andy Stumpf

Great atmosphere, awesome people. I always enjoy going here.

Brandon Bunce

Chris did a great job! Definitely would recommend anyone who is looking to switch up their look to check him out! Was very prompt and on point with his appointments too. Which is important since we all don't have time to waste!

Khatija Moughal

Both my kids get their hair cuts here and they do a really good job. However I got my hair cut here and well probably not going back for my self. I had a stylist give me a bang but instead of cutting a long one then asking if I want it shorter she straight went short. Needless to say I hate it and now i am stuck with it for months. My coworkers got a good laugh so I guess it wasn't bad for everyone! Seriously disappointed on the lack of judgment when cutting . I do not want to write all bad though they have done great job on the kids ! Last year I think her name was Julie she did a awesome job and I did do a long side bang

Eric Mcelhane

I scheduled a 4:00 appointment and they took me in on time, I asked for a #1 on the sides and a little bit off the top like always, my normal hair cutter Amanda who’s terrific wasn’t there this weekend So the lady started at 4:00 and finished at 4:05 she didn’t even let me look in mirror to see what she was doing completely rushed and than I called to complain and they told me she’s having problems with her ankle and not feeling good today..... Well thanks for giving me her to cut my hair because she left patches on my sides and not joking holes on top of my head I’ll be lucky if my hair grows back normal for thanks giving. Very lazy and the people at front desk are completely useless but when it comes time to payment they’re on the ball and fast. Terrible

Unmit

Expensive and bad experience for hair cutting

April Murphy

Fantastic!! Great staff, great music, great styles!

Vipul N Shah.

Good barbershop. One of the best hair stylist is Courtney.

Heather Scarlatelli

I like the atmosphere here. They give my kids great haircuts and the wait isn't usually too bad. My daughter got exactly whet she wss looking for in a haircut.

Marc Greene

Amazing service! Great haircut from a top notch stylist Tess! You are outstanding!

James Aycock

Aubrey give the best haircuts - she's been doing mine for years!

Majid Qureshi

Great place ! great service . All credit to amazing employees they have especially Sarah R. She knows what are you expecting , and is best at what she does. She will make sure that you look amazing

Shaz556 Moughal

Not a good place to get died hairs...

Whitney Simmons

Great place.

Wu Di

Not a good place for Asian people from my point of view. Chose it once recently because it’s close to my home. The aged gentleman did it for me. Very nice but did bad job.

sam jahanpour

Amazing place. Wonderful. It was my first time and definitely not gonna be my last time .

Christian Zamora

Great

Brad Richards

Take the kids here for haircuts. Seems like they try a little too hard to be edgy and hip. Every so often my son gets an unfortunate interpretation of what we tell them to give him. I'm sure there are better places, but it's close, and fairly cheap.

Jose Olvera

Best quality cuts/ service

aditya konidena

Excellent people

Nikki Richards

Completely ruined my hair with a botched dye job and a cut that goes very poorly with my face shape and hair type. I’ve been coming here for years and have brought several new customers to this place too. I will never come back here.

Brandon Wash

Always a long wait. No one seems to be in a hurry to get people done.

Jayson Bennett

I WON'T go anywhere else. Lauren is amazing. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I was to have found her. If you're looking for a fade look no further. You can thank me for the recommendation later.

Gene Yoo

I went and everything was nice. Nice music, nice people, and I got a nice haircut. But, when they shaved the back of my neck with the razor they cut me up pretty bad. While I was driving home I touched a cut because it felt like I rubbed biofreeze on my neck and I was bleeding! I couldn’t see how bad it was until a coworker of mine saw it and took a picture of it for me and showed me. Would be one star but I like my haircut so bonus star.

Aaron Brodsky

Aubrey is the best!

Strickland Bonner

Great place. Great vibe and talented stylists.

Ryuu Nakamura

I had an amazing experience with Tess, especially since I went in there looking like a member of the Beatles with my haircut that I neglected for a year and I just had the overwhelming want to go for shaved sides with a longer top. I was in and out within an hour, even with color, and its been a month and a half since I went in there and I'm still gushing over my haircut and the cleanness of the cut.

Person091 none

this joint ass, dont go here again

Devang Thaker

Syvonne is beast

Caldwell S

I came in yesterday and I had Lisa cut my hair. After I told her how I'd like my hair cut (I am particular about how it is cut to ensure no miscommunication occurs. I have done this many times in many visits to this Floyd's without a problem) she started getting extremely defensive, saying that I don't know what I'm talking about and that I shouldn't tell her how to do her job. I said nothing that would undermine her ability as a barber, yet she felt attacked when I was simply being specific about how I'd like my hair cut. I've never had this type of issue in any of my past visits to this Floyd's, and I will still continue to come to Floyd's for my shapeups, but I certainly will not ask for Lisa again. I ultimately was happy with my actual haircut from Lisa, but her attitude left a really sour taste in my mouth. I hope the Floyd's Ellicott City management will review this matter seriously.

Richard Reed

Great haircut! A top notch stylist! Friendly service too. I will always visit.

Carl Harrison

I always thought Floyd's was incredibly overpriced compared to its competitors, but I had a particularly bad customer service experience. I was overcharged after being quoted a price and when I called the store manager to dispute it, the manager was incredibly rude and hung up on me without addressing any of my concerns. Full story below. I called the business before arriving get a price quote for a wash and French braid. I was told that it would cost $4 for a hair wash, $10 for a dry, and the host didn't know the price of the braid "off the top of [his] head." I want to emphasize that the drying was quoted at just $10, not that that was a base price and it went up from there or that that number was an estimate. My girlfriend and I arrived and got the wash, dry, and braid. We were there for about 15 minutes, wait time not included, and received good customer service while we were there. When we went to pay, the stylist told the cashier to "just make it $10" in reference to the braid. The bill was $40.00. I demanded to know what cost so much, and repeated what I was told on the phone. The dry actually cost $26 because the price varies by hair length, and my girlfriend has "long" hair by their standards. At most other salons, she has medium length hair, and we have never been charged so much for a dry before. I protested that I was not told that the $10 quote was a base price or estimate, and the host/cashier said they usually do not price over the phone for that reason, to which I said he did not tell me that on the phone, either. I was instructed to call the manager to dispute pricing. We paid, with a $10 tip, and were not given a receipt. On top of that, the braid came out after a few hours. I called the manager and explained everything that happened, including the braid coming out, and that I would not have gone to their business had I known that $10 was only a base price. She pulled up the receipt and refused to tell me exactly what it said. She said that the braid is a "30 minute up-do" and usually costs $30 but the stylist was new. She said we should be grateful we were undercharged. I told her that was the fault of her employees and that my issue was the misquote, and that I wanted my $16 back from that. She refused and when I tried to insist that the mistake was their fault and I would go to the Better Business Bureau, she hung up on me.

Doug Kampe

My 3 year old and I go to Sarah and she dose a great job at men's cuts. The place is trendy in that sort of obvious corporate way. Also the prices are good. If Sarah left I may experiment with other shops as this isn't very convenient for me.

Joyce Mahabier

I visited Floyd's today 9/2/18 and was unhappy and walked out after an hour of waiting. I understand they were busy so my son and i waited for about an hour. After an hour I went to ask how long more was the wait and was told there were two more ahead of me. Shocked by this I immediately left and went to Hair Cuttery where my son was seen immediately and my son's hair cut took less than 15 mins. Never coming to Floyds again. There were at least 5 people that came after us and were seen before us. Not sure if they had appointments or not but I definitely waited patiently until my patience ran out. Not to mention i noticed the two barbers outside on their cigarette breaks as i was leaving. So disappointed.

Jason Humm

Love it. Service is great.

Vivian Amos

I bring my daughter to Shakera and she is amazing!! She also styles my hair and my grandmothers. She is AMAZING!!!

Rob

Recently, I've had the worse haircut given. I asked one of their barbers tor an "INCH" on the sides, not "CENTIMETER". I was even bitten by the buzzer on the ears a few times while the lady lopped more than I asked. Didn't even looked in the mirror often to make it symmetrical. The staff are nice but I hate to say this, they are incompetent. All their customers that come here are usually little boys and that's it. If you are not that demographic, do not use this store. I will never come here ever again. The company is a disappointment with incompetent workers that rush their haircuts

Mara Winterhoff

Tess is amazing. She takes great care of our mixed texture hair work crazy cowlicks.

Antoine R

Wow is all I have to say. I had a great experience here at Floyd's. Only one big problem. The lady that cut my hair decided to cut my forehead as well. I haven't had that happen since I was 10 yo and moving around in my chair uncontrollably. I really want to give Floyd's 5 stars so I will revisit for a redemption cut. MUAH HAHAHA My original post was made and I gave them 3 stars and explanation is above. Since then I revisited Floyd's and had exceptional service. I rounded the two services and give them an overall 4 star. First impression are more important and this is the first time I edited a review because the service was superb. I am looking forward to more service in the future.

Alexa Justice

Love this place! Tess is a dream weaver when it comes to hair. Whatever you want she can do it. She's also a genuinely wonderful human being. Tess makes my experience so enjoyable every time I come in. She keeps me coming back.

Sameer Alrai

Love this place! Kid friendly and the front desk staff is amazing!

Chris B

I came in for a walk-in appointment and the hairdresser who called me to her chair was coughing up a fit and sniffling. She said she was SICK and started getting an attitude when I asked to wait for somebody else because I wasn't trying to get sick. What kind of barber shop allows the hairdressers/barbers to come in sick and infect customers? I can understand coming in sick to work when you aren't in contact with customers, but as a hairdresser??? The contact doesn't get any more intimate than that. Needless to say, I won't be coming back.

Dale Knight

Kristen is the best!!

Dan Waskey

Chris is by far the best

Mark Russo

Lisa is my girl. I'm always greeted with smiles and jokes from the warm hearted staff there. The music is fun and I always leave looking like a million bucks. Fresh cut, every time. -Thor

Joe Valeri

I like this place a lot accept for when they are badly understaffed. No reason I should wait 45 mins in a Tuesday at 10am. Only 2 stylists. Clearly trying to save money instead of providing good service. This is happening more and more recently.

Nessie Odom

Lisa is amazing

memegod69

Do you guys accept walk-ins? or do i need an appointment?

Brett Snare

Syvonne and Chris are great! I can't wait for her to return from leave. Chris is great with our 4yo son and, with Syvonne out, I am going to give him a shot fire me. If you are all up tight and don't want your child to have a rock-n-roll experience then move on and take them to one of those hack places for kids.

Gail McCann

Thank you Courtney for the best color and hair cut ever!!! It looks amazing!!!

Audrey White

Fun atmosphere

Nate Fanzone

Amy always takes her time to cut my hair how I ask, and makes friendly conversation. She is knowledgeable about hair products and was happy to offer suggestions about what to use for the desired look. About this Floyd's overall: Optimum quality for lowest price. Easy to make an appointment if you call ahead. Comfortable waiting area. Good music compared to other places. Will keep going and recommending friends. Updated 7/26: Tess also does an excellent men's haircut!

Sri Annapragada

This is that place where you'd enjoy rocking music while a stylist makes you look more awesome. I loved the ambience and experience. I got a wonderful haircut almost everytime. I would recommend this place.

Saraf

I recently had a visit to floyd’s barbershop on route 49 and i experienced the WORST haircut of my life. I’ve had many pleasant visits with floyd’s before but my experience with Lucia was horrendous. I wondered if she even had a cosmetology license due to her poor skill level and the lack of her cosmetology license being displaced. i felt rushed and felt as if she barely listened to my wishes as a paying customer. i received something i did not ask for with irreversible effects. I am extremely disappointment with today’s visit to floyd’s. I think Lucia needs to be fired and i warn everyone to stay away from her!!

mrvambox

Great haircut place

candis farmer

Maia gives THE BEST shaves! I am so glad she is back at this location. My husband used to get shaves with Maia for special occasions and he loved it. She is the gold standard for him. She is so professional and precise. He would almost fall asleep because he was so relaxed. He loves her technique and will definitely be booking something with her in the future. Welcome back Maia!

DV Yost

Lisa is the best. She's the one I trust the most with my beard.

Jake Johnson

Been coming here for 2 years. Have never left not wanting to come back.

TJ Taneja

Fantastic barber experience. I have been back multiple times and the staff are friendly and attentive. If you need experience with a straight razor, Courtney is your girl. Ask for her when making an appointment.

Steven S

My regular. I drive an extra 15 minutes to go to these guys.

Mani Arugonda

I went in because the name reads Barbershop but in reality when I walked and sat down for a hair cut, there were only hair stylists. Apparently, they seem to have only 2 barber's. The name is misleading for sure, at least for me. But the Hair stylist did a decent job with my hair cut. 3/5.

Tony Uzupus

Sarah R. had been my stylist for several years and today, upon trying to book an appointment, I was told she is no longer employed there. They would not let me know where Sarah went so now I am without a hair stylist. Floyd's as a company is worthless to me if the person who I had been regularly going to is no longer there and they won't let me know where she went. If anyone reading this is in the same boat and can point me in the right direction, please send me a PM. Thanks.

Dave eICHHORN

Always a good job

Alex Needle

Cool spot for a hair cut. Kristen R is incredible! Highly recommended!

Mark Renehan

The best Floyd's shop in Maryland. The staff is amazing and they do wonderful work

Michael Fagan

Professional and talented staff, especially Stylist Sarah R.

Lucius Maro

Had a really good experience here. Set up an appointment with Ryan and he did a great job. It was very easy to communicate what I wanted. The conversation was good and the haircut was not rushed. I was very happy with the results I got here.

Daniel Hall

I've been going to Floyd's 99 for a couple of years and I get a good haircut nearly every time.

mark palmisano

Emily does a great job and really takes the time to make sure my hair is great

Andrew Zawitoski

This is my go to haircut spot, never come out upset, they get it right everytime

Josh Friedman

Great haircuts. A little pricy, but nice service. Call ahead for an appointment

Ted Bouton

Perfect establishment. Appointments are easily made, atmosphere is casual and friendly. Pricing is low for the services offered and in/out very quickly due to having the appropriate amount staffing for all days/times of the week. Lastly, Kathy K. is the BEST stylist/barber I have been to in years. If you are fortunate enough to get an appointment with her grab it immediately as she books up quickly.

Shak T

Aubrey is one of the best hair stylist Floyd’s 99 has. She knows exactly what you want. Very friendly and best in customer service. It’s been more then 2 years now that she is styling my hair.

Chris Folsom

My barber, Chris, always does an awesome job. Been going to him for three years.

Jacqui Lampell

I had a wonderful hair cut there. My stylist was Fil Colianni. He really understands curly hair.

April Alayne

Love this place! Cool and casual. Great color every time!

Kinal Patel

Update 25th Feb 2019: I was again to get my hair cutting. This time I thought let me do appoint with Barber because of before I was cutting my hair with stylish. I was disappointed again with there service. I didn't feel like I have cut my hair with barber. I would say that this is not barber shop. I have also attached proof that they have missed some hair and barber use straight razor without protector. This barber use razor with protector. I was disappointed after I washed my hair because I noticed this after it. You can also see on my picture that shape up was not even sharp. I am going this barber place from my last two hair cut. I am happy with they are cutting my hair cut. They are very experienced hair stylists. When I went for my second hair cut. I went on and of the day when barber shop was about to close and the lady who was cutting hair she was finish for the day but I request her to cut my hair. She did almost good job but I noticed that she was in rush to cut my hair because I guess she aant to go home. Therefore, I would suggest to go before the shop close.

Vinni Satija

The stylist was late by 40 mins. They promised me a shampoo and didn’t give me one. The stylist was really cold. Didn’t help or suggest me about what I should do. She didn’t even give me a blow dry when I was done. Very bad service.

Ron Gurnsey

Kristen is an excellent stylist who pays close attention to detail. She is very good at trimming beards, and hair styles. She does a great shampoo and provides a head massage that can put you to sleep. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a great stylist and cares about her clients.

Carl Evans

Very professional, close and relaxed treatment. It was my first time and I tell you to repeat.

Chris Sexton

Great haircuts, great atmosphere, great people

Heather Elliott

Susan is awesome!

Alexander Perez

(Translated by Google) They are very good. (Original) Son muy buenos.

V K

Great Place. We love to come here. Shakira is an amazing person, her customer service skills are above and beyond. Shakira cuts my hair and my sons. She is very talented and very good at her job, one of the best in the business. We highly recommend her and the business.

Bee B.

I am always happy with the service and attention that I receive as a client here. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is casual, and the stylist have always been able to give me the cut I was hoping for.

Joel Young

Great service, good barbers, Chris or Lauren both great at what they do

shakeria woodridge

Great service

Lewis Weaver

Went to this Barbershop on 9/1/18 and it was packed. The front desk person took down my number and said she would call me back. Well she didnt and when I returned around 6:30pm, I inquired, and she stated, "we were not going to call you back" with a nasty attitude and she stated I have 2 in front of you and there was indeed 2 ahead of me. Two people were seen and thought I was next until a family 3 came in after me and was immediately seen. I would never patronize this place again. The front desk customer service was horrible and as a business owner, I would never hire her to represent my business. She was so concerned with eating her Jimmy John's sandwich, therefore sale was missed. I would like to believe the experience was not due to the fact that I'm a black professional...well, it was blatant!!! I recommend the owner of this establishment re-evaluate who they put as the face of their company.

KING AMED

There is nothing about Sarah R that is not amazing.. she will make sure you are satisfied with your overall experience while at the shop by making conversation so you do not get bored while getting your hair cut and THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ...SHE WILL DOUBLE TRIPLE CHECK YOUR HAIR TO MAKE SURE IT IS THE WAY YOU WANT IT TO BE... she is love. I have had many hair stylists before...I can easily say she's the best one !

Brooks Perry

I’ve gone to this barbershop going on 4 years. Lots of great barbers for men and women. If you’ve never been they play alternative music, have TVs to watch while you wait and give you vibrating hand massages at the end of your cut. All of the barbers can do the latest hair trends from beibs to timberlake to Bryce Harper, haha.

Eric Gernat

Clean, responsive staff, great stylists.

Hatim Valiuddin

Average wait time for a walk-in is 45 minutes, so it is better to make an appointment with barber of your choice. Everyone is good as long as you can tell them what you want.

Michelle Vealey

Tess J at Floyd's 99 Barbershop on Route 40 in Ellicott City, Maryland is an amazing stylist. Every time she does my hair, she listens to my concerns, analyzes my hair and finds a way to make it work and make me look fabulous! I recommend her to everyone I run into!

Arezu Taghvaei

I love e going there. Very nice staff.

Kevin Kealey

Completely destroyed my hair. I look like Kim Jung Un's evil white wanna be. BUT I NEVER WANTED TO LOOK LIKE KIM. I wanted my hair to be tapered instead I got an uneven hack job. Now I need to find someone to fix this. I'll never go back. If a barber doesn't know how to do something they should use customers as Guinea pigs. I'd give 0 stars if I could.

Shelley Drechsler

After waiting an hour, was told they were running so behind I needed to reschedule!!!! Absolutely will not be back.
