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.

I walked in at 11am on a Saturday and barely got in, it was all appointments after me (or walk-ins who got appointments set up for hours later) - you can tell they have a lot of loyal customers.

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 have recommended every guy I know to go here and they have all had their hair cut by every barber there and I have never seen anyone disappointed by the outcome. The environment is friendly and the wall paintings bring a chill vibe to the place. 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.

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.

I originally met Ernesto at Sport Clips, where he consistently delivered the best cuts for me and my son. He's incredibly skilled, professional, and takes the time needed to make sure every detail is right. Honestly, he was the only reason we kept going back to Sport Clips. When we stopped seeing him there, I thought we lost our go-to guy, but thankfully we had his business card! We reached out and found out he moved to The Golden Shear. Let me tell you, the new shop is great, and Ernesto is still delivering those top-tier haircuts with the same great energy and attention to detail he always has. If you want to support someone who's genuinely talented and cares about his clients, give Ernesto a call or text at 812-320-1587 and book your next haircut! You won't be disappointed!
