Googooli Hair Salon for Children

My son had his first hair cut here. last year.and he loved it. I won’t change this place for nothing. best kids hair salon evet

My son loves coming here, he’s 2 years old. Lisa is always so kind and gentle with him and his hair cuts always turn out so cute! They have fun cars for the kids to sit in while they watch a movie, a train table, and video games for the bigger kids. I will never go anywhere else! Be sure to make an appointment rather than just walk in! Thanks for being so awesome!

Very unprofessional … I drove from Morgan hill to get my son a haircut, arrived at around 5:15 to see a «closed» sign on the door. I saw 2 employees inside one sitting by the register and another standing inside. I then called to see why they were closed so early and the receptionist said they closed because «they were slow»??? Complete waste of time and gas. Getting paid to stand/​sit around. Must be nice… When I asked to speak with a manager the receptionist said there wasn’t one in, I then asked how to reach one and she said «you call the number»??? I asked what number and she said «the one you just called». I’ve been going here for years and have always had good service but lately it’s been horrible, I had a stylist refuse to cut my sons hair a couple of months ago because he coughed near her and she didn’t want to get sick, after I had already waited for about 45 min. When you charge 18 $ for a haircut you should receive excellent service. I really wish the owner would watch her staff a little more.

Just took my 14 month old daughter there for a haircut and it was wonderful!!! We live in Salinas so it was quite a drive, but I wanted to give it a try since they specialize in children’s hair. It was most definitely worth the trip, that’s for sure! The fun seats they have for the kids plus the TVs at every station and large selection of DVDs are a great way to distract scared children and make the experience fun and exciting for them. Plus, when it was all over, our stylist even styled my daughter’s hair with little flower pins which looked adorable. The price was great and we didn’t have to wait at all when we got there. Perfect experience!!!

My son who is 3 was so afraid to get his hair cut until I started taking him to Googooli. He loves the fun chairs they have, and picking out a movie is a big distraction so they can cut his hair. All the ladies that work there are really fast and do a great job. It is a little pricey for a kids cut, but for me it was better than my son screaming at other places. I always make an appoitment so you dont have to wait for a spot to be open.

fast and great with the kids

I have been here 3 times and each time the people here are really nice and do a good job. I have a 2 year old boy the size of a 5 year old, and he throws a fit getting his hair cut. The hairdresser is always really nice and patient and still manages to give him a great haircut even though he makes it so hard. They have small TVs at each car for the kids to sit and watch a show. It’s definitely better than your average kids cutting place.

Awesome place for children. Great price. Staff there are very friendly and gentle with children. They also have video games and movies for the kids to watch while they get their haircut.

Took my almost 2 year old boy there and it was a great experience. They let the kids pick a movie they can watch on the little tv or a video game to play, lollipops, and cars to sit in while they get their hair cut. Nice and distracting especially for the young ones :) we’ve been twice and both times they did a great job on my sons hair (he gets a fohawk). The first place we took him for a haircut they did a horrible job so we are doubly pleased with this place!

This was our first time at Googooli and Rosa was our stylist. She could not have been more friendly and patient! She did an excellent job on my little boy who was quite wiggly — he really doesn’t like getting his hair cut! She was great at distracting him, quick with the cut, and did a very very good job. She was personal, using his name with a sweet and gentle voice and he relaxed with her. He looks so handsome! Pic posted in the photo gallery :)

I called prior to my visit for my sons 1^st hair cut (he’s 1 year old) asked if I would need a appointment and was told I didn’t need one just to come on in. I got there they were pretty busy. Needles to say after 45 minuets of waiting I left. Really hard to stand around for 45 minuets with a 1 year old! I would not recommend this place or ever return! Why not make appointments and make it easier for everyone.

I took my 3 year old son here for the first time without an appointment, they did warn me over the phone for a weekend walk ins are best after 1 PM but I was in the area and droped by about 11:30, although we had to wait my son was having a lot of fun playing with their train table set, he chose his car sat down and watched cars while eating his lollipop, not one complaint! he always screams and cries when he gets his haircut but the young lady that did his hair was so patient and nice! I loved the service– the sylist are professional, kind and caring. Will be coming back for sure even if its a drive away from where I live. Wish there were more places like this :)

Overall the haircut is decent. The $ 17 I’m sure is for the atmosphere and overall patience for screaming children. My biggest disappointment is that I always have an appointment and NEVER spend less than 30 minutes waiting. Children that walk in are taken as a priority even if they walk in walk in after you were scheduled. The professionalism is lacking. It’s too bad because this place has the potential to be amazing.

I have been bringing my toddler son to Googooli since he was an infant. I have almost always had a wonderful experience. Since they are a very small business, sometimes there is a longer wait than I anticipated, but it is always worth it. Yolanda always does a great job and you can tell she really likes working with kids.

Took my son here yesterday. Yolanda did the best she could considering my son kept moving. He got a first haircut certificate cost was $ 19 w a $ 2 discount if you make a return appointment

My daughters have been coming to Googooli for years based on a fabulous tip from a fellow Morgan Hill Soccer Mom. They totally look forward to their haircuts (and Mom does too, a bit of downtime, LOL) where they are totally pampered with adorable movies and video games and even fun chairs for the little ones (i.e. racecar for boys and Barbie car for girls). My older one even became a hair model for them and that tickled Mom to no end. Yolanda and staff are fabulous skilled beauticians (you won’t find better french braiding and updos in this area, trust me), caring and patient with their little clients and have wonderful manners besides. Worth the trip from Morgan Hill to Gilroy. 5 Stars!!!

I have been coming to Googooli since 2008 with my twins boy/​girl and they love it here! Not only is it cute but all the hair stylists do a great job! Yolanda, the manager is so sweet and she is great with toddlers.
They also style girls hair for special events.
Definitely recommend it!!!

I have been taking my two sons to get their hair cut at Googooli for the past 6 years and this place is fantastic. They have great play areas for the kids and even better they get to pick videos or video games to watch/​play while they get their hair cut.
My boys would absolutely not want to go anywhere else. And better yet, as they get older they help decide when they want to get something other than a basic boys hair cut!
I have never had to wait an incredibly long time… appointment or not.

I’ve only taken my 4yo daughter here because my son goes to the barber w/​my husband.
I made an appointment, and we were the only clients. the place is clean and all the stations have some sort of theme with video’s or video games.
This is a privately owned place and is almost a hole in the wall. Yes, they answer their own phones and do everything including cleaning up. Unfortunately there are only two of them. If you know this, then you are prepared.
They don’t wash their hair or do anything like that, they use the spray bottle. They actually section the hair and cut the hair like a stylist which I like since my dtr’s hair is so fine and had a lot of breakage. When they are done, they let the girls pick out what color flowers they want in their hair and do a real pretty ‘do’ for them which is included.
I normally take both of the kids to Mouse Mania cuts in Morgan Hill, I love that lady there and she is awesome w/​my son but not so good with the girls, basically a bowl cut for her.

Pros:
The stylists here give good hair-​cuts, so for that I might give 5 stars.
Also, I like that it’s fairly clean.
Cons:
Logistically it is sort of a nightmare. You can make an appointment and walk in at your scheduled time, but if there happen to be «drop-​ins» that arrive before you, they get first priority. You can end up waiting for an hour to get in, though you had an appointment for an hour earlier.
Also, if the phone rings, the stylist leaves you to answer it and then deal with whoever else may walk in the door. This means even more waiting time.
What the owner needs to do is be a little less cheap and hire someone to answer the phone and greet people at the door. Also, hiring an extra stylist would be great. This would make for much better customer service.
This place is also a little too pricey at $ 14 a hair-​cut
All in all, an okay place but I would love to find somewhere that didn’t cost an hour of time to get my two boy’s hair cut.
