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!

The website allows you to pick which barber you want on a specific date at a specific time with exactly the type of cut you want. I've attached a picture of a haircut/beard trim my friend got a while back, the evidence of mastery is apparent. The best barbershop I've been to and I can not recommend it enough.

However, she books way out so you have to get on her actual book. (Written) you must be vaccinated from Covid to come here as she has lost dear family members to Covid, and does not want to risk it. I found this very reasonable considering her story. She also usually requires masks. She has super fun selections for kiddos after their haircuts, including sucker whistles. Her clientele is diverse and interesting. She gave me bangs for the first time since I was a child, and I love them. Most importantly you get what you come for, a great haircut!!!

Drove right past the shop today thinking it was in that strip mall where Cloverleaf South is. It's not, it's in the white colonial building just west of Henderson St. The shop entrance is on the East side of the building. I pulled up and through the open door was immediately greeted by Aaron, which made me feel right at home. (I have been getting my hair cut by my partner at home for 25 years, so I was a bit nervous and Aaron made me feel comfortable.) Marny is awesome. Great personality, super easy to talk to. She and Aaron are a good team. Marny listened to what I wanted, looked at the photos I brought of different hair cuts and gave me exactly what I wanted. I honestly haven't stopped smiling since I got this haircut. I love it. Super affordable too. $15.00 (before the tip) for a cut and eyebrow trim. Looking forward to a return trip.

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.

I cannot recommend Bloomington Barbershop. My teen son just got his hair cut there and is rightly…read morevery upset about how his hair turned out. He told the lady that he only wanted an inch off his bangs. She pointed to one length and then cut a completely different place. He had and wanted a refresh of the common teen cut that's shorter on the sides and back with the top left longer and styled. His bangs are now micro bangs that are a blunt uneven line across his forehead that is higher on the left and ends lower on the right side. The whole top is extremely short. This is not anywhere close to what he wanted. He has been wearing a ball cap since then. This lady was not very nice and ruined his hairstyle. She did not listen to what he said he wanted. I would not recommend this place and would be very weary of what she is actually cutting if you do go there.
