Haircuts are no longer a chore for men and boys at Sports Clips Haircuts, Redmond’s newest barber shop.

“We’re becoming the barber shop of the new millennium,” according to Phil Brown, who is Northwest Area Developer for Sports Clip, along with his wife, Laurie.

At Sports Clips, a haircut is just the beginning of the made-for-men experience.

“After the haircut, you get a shampoo, scalp massage and a hot-towel treatment,” Phil said. “It’s just a very relaxing experience.”

And its a quick experience — “you are in and out in 20 minutes,” Phil said.

The new store, which is located in the Bear Creek Village at 17158 Redmond Way, features sports memorabilia on the walls, along with flat-screen televisions, heated shampoo bowls, vibrating massage chairs during the shampoo treatment — and of course quality haircuts.

“Most men don’t look forward to getting haircuts,” said Sport Clips CEO and founder Gordon Logan. “We make the experience as painless as possible. … We have a lot of really nice touches that you don’t get in a lot of other chains and franchises. It’s a real nice comfortable experience.”

The Redmond store opened last month and is the 800th Sports Clips nationwide. To celebrate the milestone opening, Sports Clips, along with the Sammamish Baseball Academy, will hold a free baseball skills/drills camp Saturday from 9-11 a.m. at Marymoor Park’s Field Five.

The first 200 participants will receive four tickets to next Tuesday’s Seattle Mariners-Oakland Athletics game, the second-to-last contest of the season. During the camp, Sammamish Baseball Academy will host stations, competitions and award prizes. The camp will include speed and agility drills; pitching and accuracy throwing; catching; live and tee ball hitting; and more.

In addition, Sports Clips will hold a “towel cutting” ceremony next Tuesday at noon at the new store location. Logan, along with officials from the Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce and the Mariners, will be on hand. That evening, Sports Clips will present an $8,000 check to the Mariners Care, the team’s nonprofit organization, to recognize the 800th store opening.

“This business model has been really taking off,” Phil said.

Rob Crandall, the owner of the Redmond and Woodinville stores, said the Redmond location is “fabulous” as many new popular businesses are opening in Bear Creek Village, like the clothing store Ross Dress for Less and Agave Cocina & Cantina, a family Mexican restaurant and tequila bar.

“It’s an exciting time to go in there,” Crandall said. “They have made some great improvements at the center.”

And now with Sports Clips, men and boys can get a quick haircut in a cool, comfortable setting when shopping at the Bear Creek Village, Cradle pointed out.

“Getting a haircut is a errand that had to be done,” Crandall said. “We make it more relaxing and enjoyable. We have gotten a great response here.”
