Floyd’s 99 Barbershop is great. Such nice people and a great atmosphere especially for new people like me. Moving from Australia last year I found Floyd’s as my new go to barbershop. The staff are super nice especially Nikki. She was very friendly and efficient and if you’re into tattoos, you’ll get along well with her. Thank you Floyd’s 99 barbershop for a great experience.
Owner's response
Love this shoutout, Janaka! Moving from Australia and finding your new go-to spot is big praise. We’re glad the shop vibe, the crew, and Nikki made you feel right at home.

Floyd’s is an exceptional establishment characterized by its vibrant atmosphere, energetic ambiance, and exceptional talent. Since 2018, I have consistently enjoyed my visits, never experiencing any disappointments. The application facilitates the swift and hassle-free booking of appointments, while the timely reminders ensure my punctuality. The talent showcased at Floyd’s is truly remarkable. I have had the privilege of consulting Headliner stylist Vanessa, whose expertise is unparalleled. Additionally, as always, I have encountered Dave, a true professional who should undoubtedly be a Headliner. His exceptional barbering skills are evident in his meticulous attention to detail and impeccable clean work. Dave’s ability to shape my mustache in a flattering manner, a task I could not accomplish myself, is truly impressive. Each visit to Floyd’s and my interactions with these exceptional artists have been nothing short of extraordinary.
Owner's response
This is such a thoughtful review. We’re grateful you’ve been rolling with us since 2018 and that both Vanessa and Dave’s talent, detail, and care keep your experience feeling next‑level every time!

Unfortunately I can't shake this feeling of disappointment with my experience. I never like to simply assume the intentions of people, but I can't find any other reason why I was paired up with a specific barber other than because we share the same ethnicity/race. The reason why I say this is because when booking online through my phone, there's a section where I'm able to "Add a Note / Attachment." And here, I specified that I wanted someone who could shear cut, or be comfortable using scissors. And unfortunately, that was not the case here. My barber had trouble using them. I've been with barbers who are pros are it, and some that aren't. You can tell halfway through the cut if someone knows how to scissor cut or not. Listen, I've had worse haircuts in my life. I came out looking "presentable", but you don't go out of your way to pay someone to cut your hair and to feel like they did "okay." No, you want to feel good. Scratch that, you want to feel great. And unfortunately, I'll have to go somewhere else tomorrow to fix the imbalances from the cut. That's more money, more time, but realistically, something a customer shouldn't have to do when immediately coming out of a barbershop. The point is, I should have been paired up with someone that aligned with the type of haircut I wanted. Not with the idea that a specific person would make me "feel more comfortable" because of my name or race. And if it's simply because the barber was next available, it actually makes it worse because now you've assigned someone that wasn't a good match for me. That's like setting up someone up for a skin fade when they have hair that is 8 inches long but want to get a wolf cut. It just doesn't work. I'm sure the barber can do killer skin fades (per their bio), but that's not what I wanted. I stayed cordial, I paid, and I gave a tip. I'm never going to disrespect the workers, because ultimately everyone is just trying to do their best. But I can't come back. There's a lot of good barbers and stylists around the area. Floyd's 99 will unfortunately be just another one I pass by.

John doe,<br><br>Thank you for sharing this and for taking the time to explain your experience in so much detail. We are truly sorry that your visit left you feeling disappointed, especially after you went out of your way to share specific notes about the type of cut and skill set you were looking for.<br><br>You are absolutely right that you should leave a barbershop feeling great about your haircut, not just “okay,” and certainly not needing to spend more time and money somewhere else to correct it. It is also very concerning to hear your impression that you may have been paired with a barber based on race rather than on the service and skills you requested. That is not the experience we ever want a client to have, and we take feedback like this very seriously.<br><br>We would really appreciate the chance to look into what happened with your booking and see what we can do to make this right. We do offer a 7‑day guarantee on all of our services, and we would love the opportunity to follow up with you directly. If you are open to it, please reach out to us at contactus@floydsbarbershop.com with your name and the date and time of your reservation so we can follow up directly.<br><br>Thank you again for your honesty and for giving us the opportunity to learn from this.

Fun environment and kind staff. I loved that when booking the appointment, I could read about each barber and choose someone based on their interests. I ended up picking someone who plays the drums, since that’s a passion of my son’s too. The awesome fade was the cherry on top.
Owner's response
This is such a cool story. Glad the booking details helped you find the right match and that your son could connect over drums and walk out with a sharp fade. Fun vibe and kind crew is exactly what we’re going for!

I’ve been going to Floyd’s in Vernon Hills for one reason, Raf G. He’s an incredible barber, always delivers a great cut, and the conversation is just as good. Raf is super laid-back and genuinely friendly, which makes the whole experience easy. As someone with haircut anxiety, it means a lot knowing I can fully trust him. It can be hard to find a stylist who truly listens and executes exactly what you want, but Raf does every time. I 100% recommend him!
Owner's response
Thank you for letting us know Raf's amplified service hits all the right notes for you! We love celebrating our team’s legends, and we look forward to your next visit.

Cool place. Dondy is amazing.....so friendly and sweet....and she gives amazing haircuts....never had anyone cut my hair right until Dondy. My family followed her from another establishment. She is the only one we will go to to get Mine and my 2 boys hair cut.
Owner's response
We appreciate the kind words, Michael! The band’s only as good as its players, and we are so thankful you took the time to shoutout Dondy's amplified service. Looking forward to keeping the good vibes flowing on your family's next visit!

I had an excellent experience at Floyd’s Barbershop in Vernon Hills. Ashley K. gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had—she was professional, friendly, and made the whole experience comfortable from start to finish. Her attention to detail and skill really showed, and she made sure I left looking sharp and completely refreshed. The shop itself has a great vibe, but Ashley’s welcoming attitude and expertise made the visit stand out. Highly recommend booking with her if you want a top-notch cut and great service.
Owner's response
Thank you for the love, Francis! We are thrilled to celebrate Ashley for rocking your service, and we’re excited to see you next time.

Love this place. As a woman who likes my short hair, I find that not enough salons really know how to do short hair. A coworker suggested Floyds and Ive never looked back. Great vibe and all the people are super down to earth. Brought my Son and Fiancé and they were treated great. I chose Vanessa, she always gives me a great haircut.
Owner's response
Hi, Savanna! Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience. We are so happy to hear Vanessa and our team consistently exceed your family's expectations and we look forward to welcoming you all back again soon!

Lacey is very knowledgeable about different hair styles. She explains what she is going to do and makes my son and daughter feel very comfortable. She makes excellent suggestions. Lacey takes a lot of care into showing both of them how to style their hair. My son is very quiet and Lacey makes him feel comfortable. My daughter is very talkative and was super excited to get a wolf cut. Lacey talked a lot with her and made her feel extra special.
Owner's response
Wow, thank you so much for the shoutout, Rachel! We are so happy that Lacey brought your family's experience above and beyond your expectations, and we look forward to more exceptional services.
