Snip-its Characters Make the Experience Magical
One of the biggest reasons Snip-its is considered a top salon for kids is the lovable cast of characters who bring each visit to life. The Snip-its Gang, led by Snips, makes every child feel like a welcomed guest on a new adventure.
Each character has a backstory and personality that helps engage kids and spark their imagination:
-
Snips: The easy-going leader who loves burgers and helping others
-
Curly Comb: The athletic academic who loves baseball and hotdogs
-
Flyer Joe Dryer: The globetrotting adventurer with a silly streak
-
Maranga Mirror: The Caribbean stylist who brings beauty and flavor
-
Jean Luc Le Spritz: The Parisian artist with a passion for fashion
-
The Clip-ette Sisters: The shopping, music-loving cheerleaders
Meeting these characters transforms the experience from just a haircut into an interactive story where your child is the star.
Clean, Safe, and Sensory-Friendly
Modern parents are more conscious than ever about cleanliness and safety—and Snip-its delivers on both fronts. All salons are sanitized regularly, and stylists follow updated post-COVID protocols for hygiene and distancing where appropriate.
In addition:
-
Quiet equipment is used to help children who may be sensitive to noise
-
Gentle styling techniques are ideal for sensory-sensitive children
-
Soft lighting and soothing distractions make the environment calming, even for anxious kids
Parents of children with special needs or sensory sensitivities often find Snip-its to be a welcoming, accommodating space.
The Magic Box Makes Every Visit Rewarding
What sets Snip-its apart from a typical salon for kids is how it caps off the haircut experience. Once the cut is complete, the Adventure Club card is traded in for a trip to the Magic Box, where your child receives a fun prize. It’s a small gesture that reinforces positive feelings about the visit—and gives kids a reward they can look forward to next time.
This sense of ritual and reward turns routine haircuts into exciting, anticipation-filled appointments. It also helps build consistency and comfort for kids who might otherwise be wary of salons.
A Salon Designed with Parents in Mind Too
While Snip-its is laser-focused on kids, the experience is built to support parents as well. From the moment you check in, you’re kept in the loop. You’re welcome to watch, share in the excitement, and provide feedback or preferences to the stylist.
-
Parents’ chairs are nearby but unobtrusive
-
Stylists communicate clearly before, during, and after each cut
-
Appointments run efficiently, with minimal wait times
Whether you’re navigating a first haircut or managing the schedule of a busy household, Snip-its respects your time, your concerns, and your child’s individuality.
