Floyd’s 99 Barbershop

I consistently get good cuts from the females. I generally don’t like men barbers cutting my hair.

Lisa did a wonderful job on mine and my husbands hair. He has the wavy hair thats a pain to cut. And they take such good care of us. Lisa trimmed his beard and gave him some nice warm towels. And the Price is just right. Would never go anywhere else! I love this place… my husband does too! Energy is positive and upbeat.

I am terrible about remembering names of hair stylists, even though I have several of their cards, but my five star rating is because it hasn’t mattered. I have never had a bad haircut here. Yes, the prices are higher than the hair cuttery’s, and most others, but their barbers and stylists seem to be a cut above to me– no pun intended. They are one of the few to do the warm cream with razor on your neck, which is also refreshing. They could do a better job at scheduling people, but I think you are just going to have to wait to get a haircut of this quality regardless of where you go.

I feel as though the reviews are a bit rough here since people often only post things on Unilocal when they want to complain, so take all of the reviews with a grain of salt. There’s plenty of people with a favorite stylist that are regular customers and love the place! I see regulars almost every time I go there.
Anyways, I’ve been going to Lynn for 2+ years now because I have an asymetrical pixie cut with long bangs that has to be cut right. As many women with short hair know, barbers have a tendency to cut short women’s hair like mens hair. Lynn always cuts it so well and it’s really flattering. What impressed me the most was when I came back in her chair two months after having my first cut with her, she remembered everything I told her the first time! She gives me a lot of tips on how to take care of it as well and get the best results while styling it.
The reason why I’m writing this review is actually because of the incredible haircut that my boyfriend got from Sarah last night. He wanted it cut short, like Chris Pratt, but Sarah took the photo as inspiration and made sure that he would get the best cut possible by altering it to fit his hair type. He has straight hair that has a tendency to stick up if too short, so she recognized it and cut it a bit longer so it would not stick up. She was incredibly friendly and seemed to really enjoy her job. She walked my boyfriend through every step and explained every choice that she made, which I’ve never seen from a stylist but it was awesome! She even moisturized his sunburn!
So here’s to Lynn and Sarah, two great stylist in a cool barbershop. My family goes here was well and although they have not picked out regular stylists, it is because they consistently get a great cut from anyone.
And for the record, I park at the grocery store across the street since there is always spots and walk across the street. It saves a lot of hassle.

Way over priced $ 17 for a buzz cut. My beard trim is so uneven I had to shave the whole thing off. Thank god it’s hair and will grow back. I will say if you go back they will correct anything at no cost. Thank you for that

I usually get a decent haircut when I visit. I depends on which person cuts your hair. Some are better than others. Everyone is friendly. The last couple of times I’ve had a new guy cut my hair. His name is Tyler. Best haircut I’ve had in many years. I teach and the high school kids admit my hair is very stylish.

I give this place 3.8 stars rounded up to 4.
Let’s be honest, if you’re a hipster you’re going to love this place. Hipster music, hipster décor, hipster barbers. If you’re like me you’ll enjoy the music, be slightly amused, and feel REALLY old.
The only thing confusing is that the staff has always been super nice, which I normally don’t associate with hipsters. This place is a full service barber shop. Normal cuts, razor cuts, coloring, shampooing (I guess), and straight razor shaves.
They seem to keep the place staffed pretty well also. The last time I came in was in the middle of a Saturday and I only had to wait about 20 minutes.
Parking can range from a pain to a nightmare, depending on the time you visit.
I’ve been here a couple of times. Once for a straight razor shave. Prices are pretty reasonable and the cuts seem decent. I don’t recall the last time I was super excited about any haircut so I don’t think that should be the bar of quality.
Any dude out there who can grow a full on beard, you gotta try the straight razor shave at least once. It was pretty relaxing!

Great atmosphere and décor but unfortunately that’s about it for my first Floyd’s experience. Julie, (I believe that’s her name) cut my hair. Very nice but nice doesn’t make up for nasty cigarette smell on her hands which were around my face for 20 minutes. Then the cut was sub par. Uneven neck line and cuts into my natural hair line even after initially specifically requesting her not to do that.

This is for the Ellicott City location only. I’ve heard great things about the VA location but was disappointed by my visit to this MD location. The atmosphere is great, very lively, fun and great music. The deliver on the rock n roll type of experience. However, I did feel like like the customer service was really up to par and felt the shop overall was unprofessional. The lady who did my hair was nice enough but my head felt like it had been hit by truck — she was so rough! Another employee was complaining about wanting to leave.
The service itself was fine — not great. I had all over color and she definitely missed some pieces. She was honest with me that based on the color products available that my desired color would not be achieved. I was desperate so we chose something similar. It faded in 2 weeks — I dont think they can really compete with inferior products. I would not do color here again.
My husband comes here for his haircut with Paul and he is happy with him.
Overall — for COLOR — it’s a no from me. For men’s haircut — probably a safe bet.

Amended 12÷30÷14: I rescind all of my hatorade comments. Shortly after this review, I was contacted by the district manager, Jenny, who encouraged me to give them another try. Today, I made an appointmemt with Lauren. I arrived right at 5 PM and she was just finishing up a cut and I was seen promptly. I have to say… I received the best haircut in over a year. She gave a killer fade and hard part. I will definitely be back, every 3 weeks. Thanks guys, I love a great redemption story.
12÷17÷14: I was excited to give this place a shot because the concept seems pretty cool. I walked in, waited 30 minutes, got annoyed, then left without getting a haircut. I understand needing a break, but there were other folks besides me waiting and some of your barbers were just sitting on stools watching tv. I’ll pass.

I went there today to get a hot shave for my face and head. Cassie greeted me and did a great job. The head and face massage during and after were amazing and it was a great surprise at the when I received a shoulder massage.

Make an appoinment, Drive all the way and asked to wait for an hour just because the person who took my appointment was too busy to listen to me. Disappointed. Not going there again.

Lisa is by far one of the best stylist there. Lauren is also highly sought after. Before a photo shoot my hair wasn’t colored the way they wanted it and Lisa fixed it no problem five hours and refused a tip. Awesome! Both times she did it.

DO NOT USE! I wanted a David Beckham haircut And what happend my hair was ruined! If they took the razer to my head one more time i Would of been bald. Please do not use!

I only go here to get my haircut. It’s a bit pricy for a mens cut but its worth it. I don’t have a particular stylist i just go in. Parking is a bit crowded at times but it’s not their fault.

Lynn rocks, music usually rocks, great atmosphere. Been searching for someone I can keep going back to to get my hair done the way I want it for a while, and I found it. Got my first face shave tonight and can’t wait to go back. Much better than most chain places, with a staff that is as chili as they can be.

Erin is awesome! She has done my cuts and colors for awhile now, & I recommend her to anyone. Great conversation, great hair. What more can you ask for?

I only give two stars for the awesome décor and rocking music. otherwise this place gives TERRIBLE cuts. My trusty Andy’s Barbershop down the street does have some strange hours, and my son needed a haircut before school started. I took him in to get a TRIM. Well that did not happened. The girl who cut his hair, didn’t even speak to me, and ignored my request. I had described to her what I wanted, and she looked at me with a blank stare. I was a bit nervous at this point, however figured its a kid cut. As the cut progressed, I told her to stop cutting 4 times! She completely ignored me. So… I had to get a little gangster, and pull my son out of the chair with his cape on! I marched over to the manager and complained and left. Bottom line. bad cut.and they do not respect what you ask for. So, we came home with a crooked cut that was too short. Total bummer.

I had not had a real hair but in five years and thus had hair almost past my butt. I called ahead and talked to a really nice man and explained that I needed a cut, but was really anxious.
When I arrived, they already had someone lined up for me. Amy cut about 15 inches off my hair. She helped me get a style that works well for my lifestyle and is so flattering. She was so friendly and patient with me, even when I cried during the first cuts. She was so understanding and took plenty of time to make sure my cut was right.
She gave me an AMAZING new haircut. My sister, also a stylist who lives across the country, thought the cut was great and looked awesome on me. People keep complimenting me on my new cut.
The vibe of the salon is fun. Since I was without glasses while getting the cut, I stared at a poster of Meg White and listened to some great tunes. There were a lot of dudes in there (I think I was the only female getting a cut during the time I was there,) but they seemed to be enjoying themselves.
I am definitely going back to see Amy to keep my cut looking amazing. I’ve also decided to start bringing my kids to get their cuts from her as well.
I would highly recommend this salon/​barbershop. I had a wonderful experience here and will certainly be back.

Unfortunately I really can’t recommend Floyd’s anymore. The barber that I used to always go to left, and the problem now is that every time I go in, I get a different person and a different result when I get my hair cut.
They do a good job, I give them that — but it’s not as good as the haircut I was always getting before. I was going to Floyd’s for probably 7 months and even in that short time, with the exception of only about two or three people, the rest of the staff have completely changed over. So what this means is that you’re constantly going to have different people cutting your hair.
It’s also not cheap. For $ 21 for a basic Men’s cut, plus leaving a tip, you’re walking out the door spending nearly $ 30. And that’s getting to be the price territory of a salon, not a barber.
I honestly am not a fan anymore of Floyd’s and I won’t be going back. I had some really good haircuts here but it’s very hard to find someone you like that will last.
