It's been years since I'd been in a great clips. Back when it was 6.99. Now it's $20-23. That's just the increased cost of things now. Plus $5 tip. Reviews I thought it was for women n kids but only men were getting their hair cut. No recent photos but reviews recently seemed great. The bad: Asked if the example photos we had were possibly for my daughter's hair type. Thick. Straight. And added we don't have curling irons or any products. Is this an easy style? Was told Yes and that she could do it. Ok great so she got started. Again very nice ladies working here. After finished my daughter covered in hair I was a bit surprised how the cut looked. I asked if there's something we need to know. Advice on how to obtain the example look. She responded well her hair is just so thick. As if to say no. I asked if the starting hair cut was a problem, she said no, only one small hidden area was too short but she said it was hidden so not an issue. So I'm not sure why she cut her hair so short and boxy. She thinned it a little. But if this cut isn't possible with thick hair, a simple Not recommended would have been nice instead of yes then attempt then act like it's great and when I ask about getting it to look like the example then say oh it's just too thick. No other suggestions on how to fix it or alternative cuts, just nada. Also no clean up of the hair at all, I remember being brushed off a bit after cuts and the place we use to go always cleaned up the hair. There was sooo much hair on my daughter's shirt n face. We cleaned her off in the parking lot. I still tipped 25% because again, she was nice and can cut better than we can and it's just rough financially for everyone, so I tip. Not sure how to fix this. We stink at being assertive so my daughter just said "it's fine." We spent the evening watching tutorials on how to fix it but seems growing it back out and maybe asking a few places their options for her hair type is the best solution. Not a repeat.

Just a few min wait for a cut.

Matt Hendrick is awesome! My son and I have been getting our hair cut by Matt for a long time. He's a super cool chill guy and highly skilled. Matt gets to know his clients and is fun to talk to. Black Sheep Barber Shop has such a great vibe too. Not at all pretentious, like some shops. You'll see hipsters, teens, and professionals all getting quality cuts. I highly recommend Matt and Black Sheep for a great cut and experience! read more

I've been getting my haircut by Matt for years and black sheep just upgraded their game once again by adding him to the team. I've brought my nephew to him and whether it's a kids cut or a man who looks like a cave man (like me lol) he always delivers with consistency and attention to detail. You won't regret getting cut by him, I promise. Give him a try and soon you'll understand what I mean. read more
