- AMAdventure life MediaNov 13, 20255.0Well, I pass a lot of other hair salons and barbershops on my way down to this particular location, I go in here because there is a man who does hair in there. That is so wonderful. His name is Robert, if you don't know him he's a magician on the side and he can read your mind and that includes letting you know what he thinks looks best on you, his ability to take the bland and turn it into something fabulous and fantastic, he doesn't judge, he's just quick with the snip. Glide you with a smile and wish you a good day and hope you'll see him again soon.I highly recommend him.I hope you will go down there, telemanthony came in to see you and you were highly recommended.His name is Robert university village.Great clips downtown saint petersburg.
- BSBjorn StolhammerNov 13, 20255.0Been going here for about 5 years and have not had a bad hair cut. Everyone here does good work and is easy to communicate with. Robert has cut my hair many of the times and does an excellent job!
- CMColby MikellNov 13, 20251.0DO NOT GO HERE. SAVE YOUR HAIR. I had the worst haircut experience of my life at this Great Clips today (November 13, 2025). If I could give zero stars, I would. From the moment I walked in, the stylist was rude and snarky. He made a comment about me being a few minutes late, then immediately criticized me for having product in my hair—even after I explained I had come straight from work. The attitude alone was enough to make me uncomfortable. I clearly told him not to follow the notes from previous visits and explained exactly what I wanted. He ignored all of it. When I told him my hair was way too short, he actually said, “You should be glad I didn’t follow the notes exactly or it’d be a lot shorter.” I’ve never had such a dismissive response from someone cutting my hair. The result? A harsh line and what looks like a bald spot on the side of my head. It is genuinely the worst haircut I’ve had in 24 years. There is nothing I can do to fix it except wear hats until it grows out — and of course this happened right before the holidays. This location is unprofessional, careless, and clearly not listening to customers. Save yourself the stress and do not go here.
- MSMorning StarNov 12, 20251.0Their online check-in means nothing. You can be first up in their check in line and the stylists will take others ahead of you making lame excuses as to why you have to wait. I have waited over 40 minutes despite being the next up. Never again.
- BMBrian MurrayNov 6, 20255.0Robert gives a great cut time after time. He really listens when I want to make adjustments to my haircut.
