Floyd’s 99 Barbershop

I usually come in to get my haircut. You guys always do a great job. So I decided to come in and have them color my hair. Well that was a mistake. I wanted to go from black hair to silver/​grey. When I called I asked if you can do it. I was told yes. When I left I was happy. It wasn’t the color I wanted but it looked cool with the purple in it. When I left I went to go see some friends. I had one friend tell me that some of my hair looked green. I didn’t pay any attention bc she was only one who said something. Well the next which was Sunday I woke up and I had green patches in my hair and the color did not look the same as when I left. My friend that told me that my hair was green told me to go to the salon she uses KUVIA and see Cynthia. Thank goodness I went there. She had to bleach my hair 2 more times to get the color the out and my hair white. Lets jus say Cynthia was a life saver. My hair is silver/​grey jus the way I wanted it. Because of Floyd’s not doing it right Cynthia at KUVIA had to fix it. I will never come back to Floyds again.
I was also told that I would have a manager give me a call and yet I am still waiting on that to happen. Poor follow up service.

Wait times have gotten pathetically long — try staffing more than two people
This has been a consistent issue and you lost me as a customer

I absolutely love this place! First the atmosphere itself is incredible and needless to say, they really pull off the rock n roll theme. The best part of the shop, however, is the staff. Everyone is incredible friendly and nice. I always schedule my haircuts with Brooke. She is an amazing stylist and I wish my haircuts lasted longer because the conversation is so great. For the price of a haircut you also get a light therapy session, which is something we all need every now and then. One of the best barber shops I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend it. Pro Tip: Call ahead of your appointment, they are usually very packed.

I intentionally will not mention names of stylists but if you call and don’t have a name you will get the persons who just graduated and you will definitely get a worse haircut than at your local barber. Happened to me 2x. I’m done.

I’ll continue to brag about my local Floyds99… still a GREAT local choice for barber and stylist work… at an economical choice. My new favorite is the fun and social Brandon T… a Barber, but for a baldy like me… perfect! His DETAIL and ‘edging’ is PERFECT. Sometimes hard for him to hear what needs are… so speak up due to ambient noise. Other than that… he’s there to please. It’s hard to tell a married dude that he washes good hair… but he does. Again, as a balding man I need all the blood flow I can! Brandon listens and again… the detail work he does. Awesome.

I just walked out of this place and I probably one of the most stressful and bad haircuts of my life. I’ve been to this location 3 times before including taking my dad to get a haircut while he was on vacation. (all the female stylists are always on point) I wish, Christian who cut my hair today would’ve been honest and say I’m not comfortable doing that. All I asked for was for a side shave cut and to layered the left a bit. Very disappointed because could’ve have done what he did on my own. I’m not trying to be a smartass but I work in an industry where if something is outside my comfort zone and I cannot deliver it, I would rather give the client my honest opinion and referred him to somebody more capable instead of letting somebody leave with work. I hate giving places bad reviews as I only give good reviews rather than wasting my time talking bad. But if you’re a beginner perhaps you need to put your ego aside and learn from other stylists instead of just plain practice on people that are paying for a service. I’m sorry i couldn’t bring myself to tip you but it was just bad. Now I will have to pay somebody to fix it or perhaps I could just blindly fix it myself.

I usually find a barber shop and stick to it. So when I moved into the area I found Floyd’s. My first experience was bad. The male barber had a really bad attitude and gave me a bad haircut. I haven’t seen that barber since, so I think he no longer works there. But since it’s the closest shop to me, I tried them again. Brandi has been cutting my hair there for the past year now and she does a great job. Very friendly and personable.
I usually make an appointment because it can get busy. The prices are higher than your average barber shop. And inconsistent pricing too. I’ve been charge two different prices for the same haircut?

I went to Floyd’s after I couldn’t make an appointment with my regular barber. I felt like I was essentially cheating on my barber, but they didn’t answer the phone after I called four times and had to go somewhere else. I have a couple friends that have gone to Floyd’s and decided to check it out.
Floyd’s first impression is great! When you walk in, you feel like you are at a really unique and cool barbershop. However, it quickly starts to feel like a chain. I can’t exactly pin point what it is, but it does. The staff is very friendly and I got a great haircut! As an added bonus, they wash your hair and wrap your face with a hot towel for free on your first visit!
I’m only giving it three stars because I feel my haircut was overpriced and that they’re trying to sell something they’re not. They’re selling a local, hip barbershop, when in reality they’re just another chain trying to stick out and find a niche. If your normal cheap hair salon chain is Taco Bell, and your local barber is a local taco truck, Floyd’s is Chipotle.
UPDATE: I went here a second time and decided it deserved 4 stars over my original 3.

There is ONE reason to go here… NINA! Most companies will feel that THEY are the reason people go to a service, but to be honest, more times than not it’s the people. In the service industry of hair, the stylist is key. Time, location, convenience… yes, those are important, but you need someone who does good work, and offers a pleasant experience — that’s Nina!
Plain and simply the cost point for a men’s haircut is approximately $ 5 above what I feel is warranted, however, after deciding that location was key to me a few months ago Nina gave me one of the best haircuts I have ever had. Now I «suck up» the extra $ 5 per cut because I know she will do a great job.
Now, that being said, if she ever leaves I cannot say that I am as willing to pay the extra costs involved, but the fact that she is there now means Floyd’s has a customer willing to stay for a while.

Personally, I think that no matter where you go for a haircut it’s going to be a crap shoot as far as whether you «love» the cut or not, but I have to commend Floyd’s for their extra little details… Hot towels, massages, cool music, great atmosphere, and attractive looking staff. Aside from that though I think Will, one of their Barbers, is one of the best. He always takes his time and does a great job. I haven’t tried all of the barbers/​stylists at Floyd’s by any means, but I think it’s well worth the extra few dollars.

Love this place. Really convenient to my house. Hours work well with my crazy schedule. Kayla is awesome!

Warning — while Floyd’s does an ok job they are failing to follow sanitary regulations by not replacing straight razorblades between clients. I have seen this happen a few times, but didn’t say anything.
Also pricing consistency isn’t their strong point. I have been charged two different rates for a clean-​up in the past even thought the same things have been done.

This was my first visit to this Floyd’s 99 Barbershop location. As I entered, I was greeted by a receptionist who was very friendly with all of the customers and greeted them as they entered. I told her that this was my first visit, so she kindly explained the haircuts and other services provided.
I got a regular haircut that included a trim of the neck with a straight razor and a trim of the eyebrows for $ 21.00. More than what Hair Cuttery or Fantastic Sam’s would charge, but I was happy with the haircut and the friendly service I was given. And the rock-​n-​roll music playing over the stereo system made the haircut more enjoyable than the barbershop/​hair salons mentioned. Being a rock-​n-​roll fan, I loved the posters of different bands that decorate the walls.
«Hey! Isn’t that The Smiths?!»
This location is not as close to me as I would like it to be, but living near Colonialtown, it is not that bad of a drive. Especially since I am in the area at least once a week.
I went on a Saturday afternoon. So be warned. It can get really busy, so there may be a wait. But then again, whenever I get a haircut, there is usually a wait. But Floyd’s does make appointments for people. So when I come in the next time, I will remember to make a appointment. Or come on a weekday afternoon. And when I was waiting, there was a gentleman who had his son with him, so Floyd’s also provides haircuts for children.
Before I left, I was given coupons for my next visit, such as $ 5.00 off for my next haircut, or free message/​shampoo. A free shampoo is also available on the first visit, but I declined the offer, since I just needed a haircut. And like all hair salons, Floyd’s offer their in house brands of hair care products.
Like I said, I will most likely be back for another haircut. And if you are looking for a haircut, just look for the old restored gas station/​service garage with the sign Floyd’s 99 Barbershop out front on Mills Avenue. Can’t miss it!

I used to go to places like Hair Cuttery to get my hair cut, but I always left unsatisfied with the results. I’m sort of picky about my haircuts, but it’s hard for me to explain how I want it. I usually just tell them to take off a few inches but not make me look like a square. Those places usually fail at the latter.
I decided to try Floyd’s because the name reminded me of a song by one of my favorite bands, Nirvana (Floyd the Barber… yes, I realize that’s also an Andy Griffith reference, but the name invokes Nirvana in my mind before Andy).
Upon entering, you can tell this places caters to younger generations. The walls are lined with concert posters, and there’s a healthy dose of alternative rock playing on the stereo. Every time I go to Floyd’s, I give them my, «Just trim off a few inches but don’t make me look like a square» request, and they always succeed. They know what looks good for Gen Xers and Millennials, and they always come through.
The hair stylists are typically chatty and friendly. They seem determined to not finish the job until you are satisfied with the results.
The only reason I’m taking off a star is because the prices are just a tad too much, but I guess you get what you pay for. Thumbs up from me, and I will always get Nirvana’s «Floyd the Barber» stuck in my head when visiting or driving by this place. «I was shaaaaaaaaaaved. I was shaaaaaaaaaaaaaved.»

I was lucky enough to get two different employees. I needed a haircut and a shave. To be fair, I tend to let my hair grow for a year and my beard even longer.
The gal who cut my hair was more than satisfactory. Small chat, decent cut, everything’s A-​OK.
Then I got the shave. This cat, Will, is some sort of Wizard with the blade. He cleaned me up more than expected — even weird ear hairs and upper cheeks. Wow.
Then he cleaned up the haircut even though that wasn’t his gig this time around. As in, not getting paid for it.
That means a lot to me. Willing to go the extra mile out of pride not pay. That’s my dude from now on.

I went back for a second try, and the Barber did an excellent job, got the fade done right. He knew what he was doing. Ask for Lugo.

I usually come here when I use to live in Orlando. Now that I live in Miami, I still try to take some time out of my visit to get a cut. The atmosphere is great, from the music to the décor…& the price is in the same range I feel comfortable paying. The girl up at the front counter was very friendly & made the wait much more enjoyable.
Once I was intro to the barber (a guy), I was brought over to his station as normally do. The process seems like very other time… but then I got home & checked out my hair.
He left my sideburns uncut, it was totally uneven. There are patches of my hair with different lengths. I have a head full of hair so it’s not like I’m balding in certain spots.
I will definitely try to avoid this guy. I think his name was Jay J.

The shop, looks cool. The music, sounds cool. The prices on the window, looks cool.
That’s where the fun ends. Barber (Jay, I think) was friendly at greeting. Brought me to his chair asked for my haircut of choice, a buzz cut. I don’t mind getting talked into a fade every so often, but since it is June, a buzz cut was the order. Without either wetting the head or trying to find out why his shearers continued to tug on my head as he attempted to buzz me, the cut continued. He asked me if I wanted my sideburns and my neck trimmed. Since he asked (last barber never asked, it was always done) I said sure and informed me it was an extra fee (0₀). I had an important event that night so I needed to look good so I said fine, go for it.
When he was about to finish up, he asked if I wanted my beard trimmed, I obliged again, finding out (when it was too late) that this added service had an added fee of its own.
Now I don’t call myself an expert on hair maintenance or fine style, but when your stylist breaks out what looks like a BOX CUTTER to shave your face, you should run for the door (if you paid upfront, which is of course unheard of in hair care land but I digress)! I have thick, tough hair and sensitive skin on my perty little face (what a gift). Edward Scissorhands, Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger would have gladly chopped the head off the clown that attempted to wield that edge the way my stylist did. If I was trimming my own face, I can MAYBE understand cutting my face up, but a «trained professional» whose trade is hair styling at a MEN’s barbershop!!! Have mercy…
Regardless of whatever charge I had to pay (they charged to shampoo it I think?), I was just keen on getting the heck out of dodge and take my losses elsewhere.

In the world of barbers, I am what is known as «easy money». Why? Because most of the hair on my head deserted me, leaving me with a classic, cool Jason-​Statham-​from Transporter vibe. At least I think so…
I usually shave my own head but an occasional trip to the barber cleans up the edges and gives me some lines to color in. My former barber got way too popular (he gives phenomenal haircuts) and I don’t have hours to spend waiting so I was on the lookout for a new barbershop.
Floyd’s will not be that barbershop.
I went about a week ago and it did have some positives: cool shop, friendly barber, close proximity to my house.
I normally get my head and beard shaved on a #1 with a slight fade in the back and the edges of my beard and head naturally cleaned up. At my old barber, this would be about $ 15 including my neck shaved with a straight razor. It takes all of about 12 minutes.
I was told at Floyd’s that the beard trim was extra and if he used the straight razor, it was $ 17 on top. So my bill would have been close to $ 40 without tip… I opted to just get my head and beard trimmed ($ 20-​ish + tip). That is absurd even for a corporate barbershop.
I noticed the barber went really fast but it wasn’t until I got home that my girlfriend noticed multiple spots that weren’t trimmed so I had to go over it with my clippers. This was the straw that broke the camels back. If I am dropping $ 30 on a buzz cut, take the time to make sure it’s decent.
I have since found another shop where the prices are reasonable and the cuts are worth the money.

The vibe of this shop was very cool. However, my usual $ 12 haircut is SO much better.
Their cuts are a bit on the high end for hair as short as mine, $ 21 + tip, but I was supposed to receive $ 5 off on my first visit for signing up for their «buzz club.» No problem.
The girl that checked me in was pleasant, and the gentleman that would cut my hair was sitting in the waiting area when I got there — I didn’t realize he worked there until he said I could go back with him.
The cut was fine, just fine. Most other barbers I’ve been to have spent more time making sure they has been even with the clippers, working the fade, etc. I did enjoy the hot lather shave — all that’s included is the back of the neck, though. I asked him to use the straight edge to clean up my temples and side burns and we we’re finished. This shape up was well below average at best — he merely tidied up the lines he had created with the clippers instead of adding any real shape.
When I got to the register, I told the woman I had signed up for their «buzz club,» but she explained she didn’t know why I hadn’t received an e-​mail yet, even though I had signed up 6 hours ago (It finally came the next morning). She would not give me the $ 5 discount. Then, she informed me that the brief «shape up» I received was an additional $ 6 charge! My $ 16 haircut had gone to $ 27 + tip just like that.
To add insult to injury, once she processed my payment, she handed me a coupon book with a $ 5 off your next visit coupon inside! AKA, she clearly had the ability to enter the code and reduce my charge since I had not received their signup e-​mail, and just chose not to. When I asked why I might not have received the e-​mail, her reply was, «I have no clue, that’s just like, corporate and stuff so they take care of all that.» Cool.
Then they e-​mailed me a survey after my visit. Had to chuckle.
The vibe was cool. The haircut, mediocre at best. The service, well, it leaves much to be desired. 2 stars.
