Cool Cuts 4 Kids

There are very rare circumstances in which I would travel 25 minutes for a haircut. The only one for me is my son. It was his first haircut with the exception of me trying to trim the hair from his eyes once in a while. His first «big boy» haircut. I looked at a lot of difference places and while I know a few people who are great with kids in their salons, this place won for his first cut because they have the special chairs for kids as little cars and I think there was an airplane. They specialize in haircuts for kids with special needs which is what I was looking for since my son has autism and a lot of sensory issues. I told them before he was seated about his needs and it was no problem. I couldn’t have been happier with the woman we got to cut his hair. She came up and asked what kind of shows he likes because hey have mini tvs in front of all of the chairs. He got his show and he had a grabbed a toy off of the shelf to hold and she was friendly and warm with him. She just used scissors to start and when she pulled out the clippers, she let him look at them first and she was explaining everything to him and was completely understanding when he did NOT want her to use them. He let her try then screamed and said no so she worked around it. She let me know it wouldn’t be a perfectly straight edge since at this point she was just using scissors to line his hair up. I didn’t really care and didn’t know what much of that meant anyways! With every service, you get a scratcher that offers a percentage off of the toys and the hair are products. We left with a haircut and the toy he grabbed off of the shelf for 25% off. Not bad knowing we would’ve gotten The toy anyways!

I was expecting less due to the comments, Lubbie was great at asking how i exactly wanted my kids hair. I have a 9^th month old an a 2 yr old. It was the first cut for both and they gave me a cute bag with their hair and the date and time it has space to put a picture. I was very satisfied and it also help if you train your kids to be comfortable with scissors I trim their hair once in a while and they stayed still when she was cutting.

My son likes coming here and some of the stylists are good, but some of them are really terrible. We have walked out of there with great haircuts and some so terrible we had to go somewhere else to get it fixed. It’s too hit or miss for me to try again.

One hair stylist on a Saturday?! Really? We have been there a couple of times, but today was pretty bad. It’s a hit and miss, with this location. They were really nice people, but ownership is not helping them out. Last time we will be there to cut my sons hair it’s really run down for the employees and where my son gets his hair cut. The stars are for the one stylist.

I’ve brought my 1 year old here twice, they did a great job and managed to keep my squirmy one year old boy to sit long enough for a proper haircut!

Where do I start? The bad hairstylist who isn’t even friendly whatsoever, can’t even get a child’s name right. We decided to leave before even getting our one year old in the seat. The child before us was crying so bad the hairstylist didn’t even care. Why do I want to pay $ 20.00 for a bad experience.

It is hit and miss at this place with haircuts. There is a stylist named Kiki that does a good job. The others no so much. So if possible schedule an appointment and ask for her.
I feel the salon could be kept cleaner. Its not bad but definitely could be better maintained.
The kids like getting hair cuts there because they get to watch tv or play video games while they are trimmed on and they have cool car shaped chairs for the little ones to sit on (even a pink one for the girls)

We are new to the area (just moved here from San Jose). I have 3 boys that need haircuts every couple of months. We went to Cool Cuts 4 Kids today (Saturday) at about 5pm for the first time. There were 2 people working (Heather and Amanda), and both had kids in their chairs, and there was 1 other child waiting before us. They checked us in, and we waited while our kids kept busy with the train table and watching Big Hero 6 on the TV.
While it was a long wait, I can say that both Heather and Amanda were meticulous and did a wonderful job on all of our boys. My husband also got his haircut and was happy with his service. They were down 1 stylist today, so that’s part of why the wait was so long, but part of it is also because they really do take their time and make sure you’re happy with the cut. All 3 of my boys had part of their hair cut with actual scissors — in the Bay Area, they typically were in the chiar for about 10 minutes and the technicians only used the clippers. I really liked the fact that Heather and Amanda both used scissors and really customized each cut. They asked several times if we liked the cut, if there was anything we wanted shorter, etc. They gave us $ 2 off of each haircut since it was our first time.
My older boys loved playing the Xbox while getting their hair cuts, and my little guy loved watching the Mickey Mouse club. It would be cool if they had a few more options than just the train table to play with and the DVD to watch — it worked, but since the wait is long, it might have been helpful to have some other toy options. This wasn’t really a deal breaker though.
When we checked out we also bought 2 pairs of sunglasses, and Heather thanked us for waiting so patiently, and was very courteous and respectful.
I will definintely be bringing my kids back here, I was very happy with our visit and the level of attention that both Heather and Amanda showed to all of us. Great job ladies, keep up the great work!

Not a place we’ll be going to again! The lady did a bad job at cutting my sons hair. How hard is it to cut the hair as asked?

I took my so here today because we used to go to a kids cut place in Menlo Park. We went to Supercuts for a year while in PA. My son is good, so it’s easy to get him a cut. The cut was really cute, but the place was rather nasty. I agree with other reviews, that the place desperately needs an update. You’d never know that the cuts we’re ok, given the décor. I felt badly for the stylist because the place looks so terrible. They’d attract more people and could even charge more for an update. My place in MP would charge $ 28. Take a suggestion, get a renovation.

I just took my son in for a haircut and had the worst customer service I’ve had in a very long time. I need to go back in there to get the ladies name that helped us, so I can come back to edit this review specifically for her. She clearly did NOT want to be there, didn’t want to schedule an appt, said they were too busy for us to wait, and then had the same attitude when we tried to schedule an appt for tomorrow. It took every ounce of willpower I had not to completely lose my cool. And this is a person that is working with children. I think Cool Cuts need to do a better job with who they recruit for they’re employees, because this girl was not someone I would ever return to see or recommend to friends.

We went to this place today to get my 1.5 year old son to get his hair cut. We tried getting him a little trim a few months ago at Super Cuts but the stylist nicked his ear with the clippers when she started cutting so I ended up walking out with a traumatized kid who had a bloody ear and virtually no haircut. My sister in law recommended Cool Cuts when I told her about my previous experience and I’m SO glad we tried it out.
His stylist was Heather and she was amazing. My kid was pretty scared and started crying when I put him in the seat. Instead of immediately starting to cut his hair she got out bubbles and started playing with them. They really calmed my son down and helped distract him. She also let him pick out his own little dvd to watch. We told her about our experience at Super Cuts and she offered to cut his hair with just scissors because she figured the clippers would scare him. She was SO patient with him and I was so relieved to have someone who was so comfortable with kids! She was very personable, friendly, and professional. His haircut came out perfectly and we could not have asked for a better experience.

1^st hair cut great 2^nd hair cut HORRIBLE!
I requested a trim to her bangs right at her eyebrows, the stylist instead cut them very crooked and about ½ inch above her eyebrows which on a toddler is alot. When I said I wasn’t happy with the hair cut they stylist told me «well shes a kid and moved alot». Which she didn’t becuase I stood there and watched, but even if she did I brought her to a KIDS hair cut place, I thought they were supposed to be pros at that.
Also for the price of a hair cut they could update their waiting area and toys.
One bench is COVERED in duct tape :(

We have been going here for years and the place is getting really run down… the movies are all old and the sun has bleached out the titles. The tvs are all out dated, the waiting area is no longer nice and the car chairs are pretty beat up. The hair cutting ladies are good and nice but for the premium price you pay, this place needs a serious update. I think they even have nintendo gamecube. My guess is that the reason the owner doesn’t upgrade the place is because it is always packed. If the haircuts were $ 10-​$ 12, I would have given it more stars but at $ 25 with tip, they could buy a couple of legos and some touch up paint.

Excellent place the kid in me wanted to get my haircut too

My (almost) 2 yr old son had the best hair cut here! I wish I could remember the name of the woman who cut his hair. The whole place is geared for kids, which my son loved until it was time to actually get his hair cut. He went nuts and cried the whole time (we tip well), but the woman cutting his hair just kept going and did a fabulous job! Wish there was one closer to us.

I tried calling to make an appointment but nobody answered the phone (after like 30 rings) and there was no answering machine. I guess they don’t need my business?

Had to review this place because my kid loves it (and also because the previous reviewer was a bit harsh considering he’s basing a review off of a single phone call).
My son absolutely loves this place! So far he’s had his first, second and third haircut at Cool Cuts and not only do they do a great job of entertaining the children, but they do a really great job cutting and styling kids hair too.
It’s a bit more expensive than say Supercuts, but they offer a play atmosphere that keeps the kids occupied and the stylists are great with children. This place is spot-​on for kids and they do a great job making both the children and their parents comfortable.

Great place for kids cuts. They really cater to the little guys and keep them entertained the entire time. From the moment you sign in until they are walking out with their great new ‘do! Highly recommend Maria :)
