Whether your little one is wide-eyed with curiosity or feeling a bit unsure, our kid-focused salons are designed to turn kids hair cutting into a magical adventure that both parents and children can enjoy together.
From our cheerful stylists and interactive salon features to the prize at the end, here’s everything you need to know before your child’s first visit.
A Magical Place Made Just for Kids
When you walk into Snip-its, it’s easy to see why so many families choose us for kids hair cutting. Our bright, colorful salons are filled with fun characters, engaging music, and friendly stylists who Speak Kid™. Everything—from the decor to the activities—is created to help children feel at ease and have fun during their visit.
Your child won’t just get a haircut—they’ll go on an adventure.
Meet Snips and The Gang
One of the first things your child will notice at Snip-its is our lovable cast of characters: Snips and The Gang. Each member of the Snip-its crew brings a playful personality to the salon experience—from sports-loving Curly Comb to stylish Jean Luc Le Spritz.
These characters aren’t just part of the decor—they’re part of the entire Snip-its journey. As your child begins their kids hair cutting experience, they’ll be greeted by familiar faces that make them feel right at home.
The Adventure Begins at Check-In
At check-in, your child receives a Snip-its Adventure Club card, their personal passport to fun. As music plays and interactive videos roll, the experience becomes more than just a haircut—it’s an engaging and immersive event.
This fun and inviting start helps to ease nerves and build excitement, especially if it’s your child’s first time.
Trained Stylists Who Truly Understand Kids
Our stylists aren’t just haircutting experts—they’re specially trained in working with children of all ages, personalities, and needs. Whether your child is feeling wiggly, shy, or totally thrilled, our team is skilled at making the experience smooth and positive.
Snip-its stylists take the time to talk with parents, understand what kind of cut is needed, and answer any questions—while keeping kids entertained and comfortable every step of the way.
Safe, Clean, and Designed with Parents in Mind
We know parents want peace of mind during their child’s kids hair cutting experience, especially if it’s their very first. At Snip-its, safety and cleanliness are top priorities. We follow updated hygiene practices and offer socially distanced seating so parents can relax and enjoy the moment too.
There’s even a parent chair where you can sit close by to offer encouragement, take pictures, or just soak in the memory of this special moment.
The Snip-its Secret: Games, Videos & Giggles
While our stylists work their magic, kids stay entertained with age-appropriate games and salon-exclusive videos. Laughter and joy are part of every haircut, making the experience feel more like playtime than a chore.
For children who are a little nervous or hesitant, this sensory-friendly setup makes a big difference. Distraction leads to relaxation—and a great haircut!
The Best Part? The Magic Box!
Once the haircut is complete, it’s time for the moment kids look forward to most: the Magic Box. Your child trades in their Adventure Club card for a fun prize, adding an exciting reward at the end of their Snip-its journey.
This final touch reinforces the positive experience and helps children feel proud and excited about their haircut—setting them up for future visits without the fear or fuss.
