All of the staff members give you their full attention when you are in their chair. I have recommended this place to all of my friends. While the haircut costs more than a typical one, it's worth every penny. I've never experienced a bad haircut from them which is a common thing that occurs in Bloomington if you go to cheaper places. Covid Note- they have hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes all around the shop. The staff and all guests were wearing masks. Strict cleaning protocols were clearly in place. I am not afraid to come back here for my next cut during this pandemic.

Great vibe and service. However, their website said a haircut would be $35 and I was charged $45…read more With tip, my haircut was over $50. A bit pricy for a simple 30 minute haircut in my opinion, but I was happy with the result.

I discovered this place couple months ago after some very disappointing experiences at sports…read moreclips. What I found was an old timey Barber shop with A-pole outside in everything and a bunch of talented super nice stylus. A price is no more than a standard haircut at sports clips. So I can't recommend them highly enough. Each one of these guys has cut my hair one time or another and they're all fantastic. Thank you folks!Mark Les, Kayla, Chris and Ryan. Mark

Huge thanks (James) hooking me up with friendly conversation and a great experience overall very attentive I came in today looking for a fade and loved the results! but when I got home I had a second opinion with my "cowlick" as they say not being cleaned up enough.

Book your next appointment here now!! I wanted to take my…read morelight brown hair to a dark blue/black as well as trim my very dead hair a fair amount shorter. This was a pretty big change but the staff here made sure that I was comfortable and excited for it each step of the way from my consult to the days after my appointment! My consult was the most comfortable one I've ever experienced; all of my questions were answered completely honestly (telling me how the color might affect my skin tone, how important the upkeep would be, how much that upkeep might cost-things other salons don't always want to tell you) and made me feel no pressured or discomfort in any way. The super sweet guy who spoke to me through my appointment explained that the salon doesn't run on commission and assured me that I would be very well taken care of in the hands of a newer employee named Shayna, and that this option would be more in my price range as opposed to seeing him, a master stylist. However, all of the newer stylists are supported by more senior stylists to make sure everything goes smoothly. A few days later I went back in to ask if I would be able to take a picture of the color swatch I was planning to go with as I was getting nervous about my upcoming appointment. The owner of the salon who happened to be up front sat with me and talked me through everything and gave me even more suggestions to make me more comfortable. It was so so sweet and all of the help leading up to the appointment made me nothing but excited to make the change! During my appointment with Shayna I was the most comfortable I have ever been during a hair appointment. She talked me thorough everything again, listened very carefully to everything I wanted and all of my questions and, most importantly, she freaking nailed it. I am obsessed with my new hair. The color is perfect despite it being a more challenging color, the cut is THE BEST CUT I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. PERIOD. As if all of this wasn't enough, I woke up a few days later to a voicemail from Shayna checking in, asking how I was feeling and if I had any questions about everything we changed. I was so impressed and grateful. The service at this salon is unmatched. Final note that's very important: the salon and employees had by far the best Covid-19 procedures I've seen in any business yet. When you enter employees touch the door handles and everything else so multiple people aren't touching, a mask is required during every point in your appointment. There is hand sanitizer at the door, you have to use it, they take your temperature, the whole thing. I can't say enough good things (as you probably noticed from the length of this) but please just do your hair a favor and go see the Royale team!

My color is bright and even, and she really listened to what I wanted. She also has a fantastic personality and is easy to chat with while she works. Jade cut my hair and before she began we talked about what I wanted and I showed her a couple of pictures of what I had in mind. She also did exactly what I wanted, and it looks great! I have had many experiences with stylists ignoring what I've asked for and just doing whatever they felt like and then I end up having to go and get it corrected. Not here! They took their time and did everything just right! This will be my go-to salon from now on. I couldn't be happier!

His professionalism, skill, and friendly vibe kept us coming back. But recently, we noticed he was no longer on the lineup, and our experience just hasn't been the same since. After a little searching, we were lucky enough to find his business card and reach out; turns out, Ernesto has moved to The Golden Shear! After visiting his new place at The Golden Shear, I am happy to say that he's still doing fantastic work over there! While we appreciated Sport Clips in the past, it's just not the same without Ernesto, and unfortunately that shows in the quality of cuts we've gotten since. If you were a fan of Ernesto's work (or are just looking for a great new barber), I highly recommend reaching out to Ernesto directly at 812-320-1587 and booking with him at The Golden Shear. The best part? You can now schedule appointments with him ahead of time, instead of waiting through the unpredictable 2+ hour day-of lineup like we had to at Sport Clips. It's way more convenient, and you'll still get the same great quality (if not better) in a new, relaxed setting. Sport Clips lost one of their best. We're sticking with Ernesto at his new place The Golden Shear!

I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to my hair - today is February 7th, and my last cut was…read moremid September. My hair grows fast, and I have a tendency to go from pixie to past-my-shoulders with only one or two cuts inbetween. On this occasion, I was starting to realize the strange "ombre" effect I was developing was due to shimmering golden split ends. Eeks! Time for a cut. I'm actually wanting to grow it longer, so I asked for a trim. You've heard the horror stories about trim requests which turns into six inch cuts, but thankfully this is not one of those. Kemp showed me how high the damage went, explained how much he would need to take off, and worked with my existing (grown-out) layers to keep as much length as possible while transforming my hair into a a luxuriously soft and healthy look, still with lots of length and body. Amazed! I enjoyed sitting under the gentle dryer and reading a magazine rather than the typical harsh and hurried blow out, and I also love all the "eye candy" that adorns the walls and high shelves. I appreciate the care taken to create a beautiful *and* visually interesting space, especially when quality haircuts like these do leave you sitting and looking at the walls as the transformation occurs. I'm so excited to go back, I plan to return in two months instead of six!

I had a terrible experience today when getting my haircut by Brandon. I got a haircut from him a…read morefew weeks ago and it was great, I had no complaints. Today on the other hand, was anything but that. As soon as I sit in the chair I notice he's pissed and not in the mood. He cuts my hair per usual but is moody and inpatient the entire time. When cutting my sides, he asks me if I want it shorter and i tell him yes just a tad. He proceeds to look to the side and sigh heavily, clearly giving off that he was annoyed. He goes on to rush it and completely ruin the evenness and even cuts the top when I didn't ask for it to be cut. The final product was nothing what I asked for and I'd like to say that I don't expect my barber to be happy all the time, but this was different. IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE MOOD TO GIVE A HAIRCUT AND DO YOUR JOB...THEN GO HOME. Not to mention, the entire haircut took only 12 minutes just to give you the perspective. He was clearly having a bad day but I can't pity him because whether you like it or not, it's your job to come in and cut hair, not to f**k around and send people off with awful haircuts. If you weren't in the mood today, then don't come to work, as simple as that. Don't come here.
