This place is one of my favorite haircut places I've discovered so far. I'm an Asian dude with short hair, so I'm not necessarily looking for a super fancy salon or anything, but going to a cheap haircut place can really screw up my haircut. This place has the best balance between quality, time, and price. Despite the generic sounding name (the only downside to be honest), this place is NOT a chain, and it is owned and operated by Sandy. It is recommended to call ahead, but there is usually not a wait. But keep in mind only 1 customer can be served at a time. The haircut is fantastic quality. Asian hair can be tricky for folks who aren't used to cutting it, but Sandy is super experienced and it definitely shows. I've had other good haircuts that have taken 45+ minutes, but Sandy can always do mine in half an hour flat. On the other hand if I go to a cheap chain, I can also get my hair done in that amount of time, but it would look bad. I would have to hide inside my house (I guess not an issue during the pandemic) for at least 3 days for it to grow out enough so that I don't look embarrassing. The price is a little bit higher than the generic haircut chains, but SO worth it. And it's still way cheaper than going to a fancy salon. Definitely recommend trying this place out. read more

Shears'n Clips - Fantastic haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Sandy cut my hair during Covid. This place not to be confused with the men's hair salon next door which is also owned by a lady named Sandy. I got my first cut since ore covid and was a little scared to do it here for a few reasons 1. I have curly hair which is sometimes somewhat unique to asians 2. I have long hair and wanted not just a cut but something fashionable 3. This place prices the mens haircut for 25$ I know the saying you get what you pay for and I wanted a haircut that would leave me happy for the years of growth. Im pleased to say that I am very happy with the cut. Sandy asked me questions about what i wanted and talked about my hair which gave me confidence that she knows what shes doing. Also the style is very much like the image I showed her and for the price is a huge bonus. read more

Shears'n Clips - long to medium and very happy with the cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Sandy is great! Just stopped in on a Friday and if you get there before noon you're good to go. I would discover this place soon before she starts getting too busy! Great value as well. I'll be returning for sure. read more

Walk in appointment. Very satisfied with my haircut. Sandy is very kind. Definitely going back

Sandy is great. She is consistant with her haircuts (granted my haircut is a basic mens cut). Her pricing is very reasonable ($35) and shes very chill and a nice person. If you live in Downtown Bellevue and want a skilled barber who is priced reasonably (not these $100 haircuts), this is the place. read more

Sandy has been cutting my hair for years. She's very detailed and handles my short black hair very well. She's attentive to details and the price is extremely reasonable as well for the location read more

Sandy is great. My hair is thick and can be unruly. She tamed it with a straightener and then gave me a trim and layering. And now my hair feels so refreshed. I can't stop running my fingers through it. The cut has very clean edges but isn't so blunt that my thick hair puffs out at the bottom--basically, it's perfect. She was also very quick, but paid attention to detail. Her prices are also very fair, especially for Downtown Bellevue. This spot is conveniently located and there is free parking. And as far as personality, Sandy is so welcoming and personable. She makes me feel like I'm talking to a family member. This will definitely be my go-to place for a simple, no frills haircut. read more

Great location in downtown Bellevue. Convenient walk from condos and apartments. I've been coming here regularly for a year and the haircuts have always been good, cheap and fast. Now, Sandy's been getting more popular and she's got help on the weekends. Still no more than a few minutes wait though. For a reliable, reasonable, simple, straightforward haircut in a convenient location, Shears and Clips is my place to go. read more

I go here for a quick shampoo and rough blow dry since the owner charges me $10 for both! I haven't tried their cuts yet but my sister used to go here and she said it's a hit or miss. It's a hole in the wall in the heart of downtown bellevue nothing fancy , just the basics that you need! If you're not that picky, I suggest you try this place, cheap and quick , in n out salon for men and women ! read more

Popped in here after finding out the usual hair stylist I go to broke her wrist. Kevin cut my hair and did a great job. Asian hair can be a bitch to cut but Kevin (also Asian) clearly knew what he was doing. Besides the great cut I appreciate that he didn't force small talk on me and was focused on efficiently and accurately cutting my hair. Although Kevin had the length spot on for the rest of my head after I told him #2 on the sides and back, it would have been good if he asked about the length on the top. This might be my go to spot from now on. No wait, no appointment needed, great cut and reasonable pricing. read more

This place is cheap. My husband's haircut costs ~ $17 w/o tips. Of course you should always give them a few bucks for tips. However, it was done very fast and it could be better. They seems to be busy all the time.. I had to fix my husband's bangs since the guy made him look stupid with the bangs that look like a toilet cover.. or watermelon hairstyle.. w/e you call it.. (like the asian kid style...).. anyways, definitely trying somewhere else next time haha... ps. you don't need to make an appointment. You can just go in and wait 15-20 min for your haircut. It's super fast. The haircut itself is done in less than 5 min.. read more

Great haircuts, great price. The owner is very personable and skilled. Basic cut costs me $23 before tip, which is cheap for the quality. She will take whatever direction you give her and implement it well. One thing to note, the shop is more walk in than appointment oriented, so standard procedure seems to be come in whenever and wait 0-30 minutes depending on how many people are queued. read more

Shears'n Clips - Fresh out of the shop. - Hair Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Great for a basic haircut. Went there on Wednesday noon. There was no wait. It was 22$ for a men's haircut which is reasonable for the area

Just got my hair cut from Sandy at Shears n Clips. Sandy is the owner and just opened shop three months ago. A friend recommended her to me and now I would like to recommend her to others. To qualify this review, I sport a no frills hair cut and have been looking for a decent Asian hair stylist with a price to match. At $14 for men's, Sandy fits the bill perfectly. I have also been looking for a place with slightly more personal attention rather than whichever stylist is free at the time. If you are near downtown Bellevue and don't need a $75 haircut, head over to Sandy's and give her a try. - Good haircut - Attention to detail - Personal service - Down-to-earth prices read more

Sandy is super nice and took very good care of me. I'm a guy who doesn't have a complicated haircut, but it turned out great and I've gotten several compliments on it! At $16 for mens haircut (Website says $14, but it's $16) it is a great price!! I was paying $25 at a salon I was referred to and she does just as great of a job. Highly recommended! read more

First experience, five stars. They gave me the best haircut I've had in years. Totally worth the $30 (she straightened my wavy hair before she started working with the scissors). The lady was very, very careful and took her time giving me the most meticulous layers ever. There was zero wait and free parking. Second experience, 1.5 star. The man who cut my hair did not listen to any of the instructions I gave him and hacked it so badly that it would take me a year to recover. The radio was blasting Christian rock... So, overall, three stars is on the waay too generous side because I won't be going back. read more

If I could give this place less than a star, I would. I have never been so dissatisfied with a haircut in my life. Today I decided to get a trim. I have no days off in the next 3 months literally to go get my hair cut. My regular place did not have a slot available for today. I looked up reviews for a place close to my house. I should have known before I arrived that I should not have sat down. I called and asked if it was the right place that was listed online and if they had appointments. The person on the other end was very rude when I asked if it was it she said "Uh, YAAH" like I was an idiot. I told her that I had never been there before so I wanted to make sure I had the right number. The lady just kept saying "YAHH. OK." Finally I asked to what time was open for appointments and she said "you pick time." I asked if 3:30 was ok and I could hear her going to hang up. I was like, how will you know its me?! But I politely told her my name, and as I was about to ask if they had parking, she hung up. I was like, okay maybe something got lost in translation. I got there early, like at 3:00, and walked in and said hello. Both ladies that were there did not look up. I said hello again, and they did not get up and were looking at me like 'what do you want.' No one else was there. I said, "I have an appointment at 3:30, but it looks like I am early, we can get started early if that works for you." One of them said, "Yeah, sit down." I was like, "ok where can I put my purse?" one of them was like, "just put it on the other [hair dressing] chair." I sat down. She just looked at my hair and said, "Is your hair curly or straight?" I responded, "well, it's curly but I straightened it today." She did not introduce herself, say hello, ask me about my hair texture, or anything else. SHE PROCEEDS TO PULL OUT A STRAIGHTENING/ FLAT IRON, and flat iron my hair. I am thinking, uh okay, no wash, not even a spritz of water like they do at the super cheap super-cuts and places like that, but I am very open minded so I just sit there waiting. Then, the lady (whose name I literally still don't know and she never introduced herself or asked for mine) picks up the scissors and looks at me and says, "what you want?" I pull out my pictures, the same ones that I have taken to every hairdresser ever for the past two years or so (I will post here for reference, and perhaps it will help you draw a picture of the scene of what happened later). I tell her I want this cut, the same one I have today, just get rid of the dead ends and make it a little bit shorter. She starts LITERALLY hacking away at my dry, just straightened hair. She does NOT section it off, get it wet, or ask where I want my part. I came in with shoulder-blade length blonde hair. (Keep in mind I needed a trim to get rid of dead ends) She picks up 4-5 inches of hair and says "this good?" and I respond, "uh, actually, I need a TRIM, you know, just the dead ends. Not so much." She moved her fingers down and CUTS. I am like, uh that's a little more than I wanted but it's fine. She is still not sectioning, my hair is just laying flat and she is running the scissors across the black gown thing, hardly holding the hair. The hair she does hold, she clips in jagged, awkward, choppy pieces. I am thinking "Oh LORD, what is this woman doing?!" But I have faith. I wait. I keep saying, "just like the picture" and "do you see how it is in the picture?" NOPE. She keeps hacking away. As you may see by the photo, I asked for face framing layers. Did I get that? NO. I got a choppy mess. She kept taking more and more length off and I was like, "do you see how the picture have a nice, graduated slope? I want what is in the picture." The lady does not get it, she is taking inch after inch off of my head in jagged, very uneven sweeps and is dropping the shears! I am explaining and she is responding with what I assume are words but I literally cannot understand a SINGLE thing she is saying, like literally two words maybe. I go, "you know, I think maybe we should stop because I don't really think I want to lose more length and this is not looking like what I have been explaining." Again, more words I cannot understand and then I hear, "your hair thin. not like model. can't do that." I look at her, and am like, "you know, I think the problem is the cut, not the texture, I have gotten this haircut about 20 times in the last year with many different people and none have ad a problem with the texture." Keep in mind, I am still looking like a cross between a 70s Shag & David Bowie. SIX INCHES LATER... she THEN PROCEEDS TO SPRAY MY HAIR WITH WATER AND TAKE A Flat iron to it. No drying, no heat protectant. NADA. They then charge me $30 even though it is listed as $21. Pictures posted for side by side comparison of expectations vs. reality. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. $30.00 + TIP is NOT = $ for yelp and I have never gotten a worst haircut and I go to STUDENTS at beauty schools sometimes. read more

Good quality haircut. Nice barber. The shop was not too crowded when I arrived and everything was quick.

Excellent hair cut; simple and no-nonsense service and good pricing. Really, this is as good as it gets read more

I'm sometimes hesitant about trying a place I've never been before. I was greeted when I walked in and waited only 5 minutes. Luu was who assisted me and he was awesome! He knew so much about hair and was so helpful I was immediately at ease. He told me he worked for Paul Mitchell for 16 years and I could tell he definitely knew what he was doing. The man is a wizard with the shears! I am so happy with the results ( I had highlights and a cut/style)!! I would go back time and time again. It was also worth my while because they aren't as expensive as most of the other places in Bellevue and I feel like the quality was even better here at Shears N Clips. (Since my hair took awhile, I saw them work their magic and they are very fast and efficient. I suggest scheduling an appointment, because they do take walk-ins and there are quite a few!) read more

I have found this to be one of my favorite hair cuts. Friendly lady who actually listens to you and gives you her opinion of the hair cut. Quick service And reasonably priced!!! I like it and I am willing drive to come here to get my hair cut! read more

I love this place! Ever since I discovered them, I haven't got a hair cut anywhere else (ok I did once and I regretted it so badly!). Sandy is amazing, she cuts my hair just right, no frills no pushy product conversation and no pretenses. I like the fact that she tells me what she thinks instead of just agreeing with everything (as much I love bangs, they just don't look good on me). I have short hair and need a hair cut every month or so, and this is the perfect price point for that! If you want a GREAT hair cut, save yourself mindless conversation about hair products you don't want to buy and get in and out really quickly, go here! P.S Sandy can sometimes be in a real rush, so if you want to make sure she listens to you in terms of what you want etc, go in the afternoon or morning. Evenings are rushed. read more

Worst haircut experience in my entire life period. The lady didn't even know how to take a center part or brush the hair before cutting. She just wanted get done in couple of mins it was awful. She overcharged and the owner didn't even bother to take any ownership. He was like l dont know and care, ask her. I'm shocked at the positive reviews of this place. What a waste of time and money! read more

Walked in with my daughter and Sandy was so kind and gentle with my daughter! This was my daughters first haircut and she did a great job!!! We will be coming back!! read more

Super nice lady, does a great job, men's cut only $22, best price in all of Bellevue. Free parking in garage, walk ins welcome. she only works Wed - Sun till 6:00 pm - double verified. read more

I'm new to Bellevue and wanted to bring some change in my hair! My hair is not easy to cut - usually hairstylists are very unwilling to cut my hair as I want and I always have to discuss with them to find a solution. This time, I was surprised that the shampoo was not included. I asked for a layered with side bangs. After the job was done, it was hard to say if I like it or not. Then I went home , get my hair washed and straighten. It looked much better, but anyway,the next day? I went to another hair salon to reduce the bangs, it was too heavy. Thick and curly hair, this is not the best place for you. read more

Walked in today around 3:45 for a clean up on my split ends. I just needed a trim so I wasn't looking to pay 60+ dollars for a haircut! I recently moved to Washington and have been scared to trust anyone so far. I was so happily surprised to be helped out right away Van I believe her name was helped me out and asked me all kinds of questions about what I was looking for. She was great along with a great proce and the salon is conveniently located as well. I'll definitely be going back! read more

This place might be good for guys with short straight hair but don't recommend this place specially for girls either for cut or for styling. My hair style was so bad that I had to do it all over again when I got home. So disappointed read more

I walked in at around 5pm on a Thursday after work and didnt have to wait very long! There were 3 guys and 1 lady in front of me, but the 2 ladies working were so fast and efficient, I was in and out of there by 6:30pm! And at an excellent price, just $35. I have long, asian hair and needed to get rid of some dead ends. Van did a great job handling it all. She listened to all my requests and was really thorough with my cut. I would go back and I'd be willing to try Sandy next time too, since I hear she's good too. Either way, I walked out of the salon pleasantly surprised. The salon was clean and bright with really friendly staff. I had a great experience and will definitely go here again. So glad I finally found somewhere on the Eastside! read more

Place is pretty small, with only two haircutters. Not much to do while waiting, but there wasn't much of a wait when I went there in the afternoon. The older lady, Sandy, is pretty nice and talkative. Prices are a little more expensive than I would like at $16 for a simple mens haircut. Might just be my hair, but some edges seemed slightly uneven. But overall was good. read more

Sandy is great! She cut my hair the way I want it. The price is very reasonable $18 for female's hair cut!

I had a blow dry. I have short hair (just under the ears) I have never been to a hair salon where you sit back to the mirror!!! When I asked so see what was being done to my hair, she said the hair drier wire was too short and was not comfortable for her and handed me a hand miror, which I did not accept ... I pulled the chair closer to the mirror and voila! A hair dresser is a very subjective experience, but when she had finished ... I felt my hair looked like a "helmet"!!!! I ended up telling the girl: "hair is about movement", and I grabbed the hair drier and changed the style myslef ... read more

Go to this one if you just want a trim and that too a simple trim on simple haircut. Its really good for a simple haircut or for guys. She knows how to cut hair but wants to get more clients. So she cuts fast. For a fancy haircut, try other salons. This is truly a no frills salon and don't even thinking of getting hair colored here. read more

I arrived a little after 9:30 am and I was already waiting in line since there was one customer, but only one worker. I didn't have to wait too long though...while I was waiting, 3 more people came in. Haircut was a little shorter than I wanted, but overall it was pretty decent. The usual places I go include a shampoo, scalp massage, and styling, but they at least gave me a little gel so I could style it myself in the bathroom before taking off. The lady who cut my hair was very friendly though. It's a decent backup to my usual. Thanks for making my hair more manageable! read more

Went here because of all the great reviews on Yelp, but left a bit disappointed. The place is super small and not that nice, with only 2 chairs. My wait was about 25min and the hair cut was about average. The only words the man cutting my hair spoke to me were " what do you want". This is after I had watched him get in an argument with the previous guy's hair he was cutting, essentially refusing to give the guy the cut he wanted. read more

My daughter had a really great haircut here. We will definitely become repeat customers. The hairdresser listened well, showed her what was being done at each step, and followed her wishes exactly, making it look very nice. She competently and professionally repaired a badly hacked haircut my daughter had at another salon. read more

The guy working was incredibly soft spoken but the haircut looks good without much hassle although it's a little pricey

Needed a quick hair cut and wasn't able to make it to my usual salon. Found this place via Yelp and the experience was consistent with what others members have shared here. This is a no nonsense, efficient and courteous hair salon with only two hair stylists. Called ahead and didn't have to wait. Iam quickly understood what I was looking for and executed with ninja-like efficiency. read more

When it comes to writing reviews for someone I can be really lazy but this place is so amazing I'm writing one. For the last 3 years or so, I've been going here and getting my hair cut just as I like it without any problems read more
