Sport Clips Haircuts of Texas CityWe’ve been going to this location for a while now. We try to stick to Estefany. My son is very talkative and energetic and she’s always so friendly and patient with him. She’s amazing.
Sport Clips Haircuts of Texas CityTook my son with his super picky mullet to get his trimmed and get my hair cut as well. He went to Estefany and I saw Elyssa. Bothe were top notch. Elyssa did everything I asked and was super cool to talk to the whole time. We will for sure be going back to them!

How we grade

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.
Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0.
