Snippet’s Mini-Cuts

We took my 3 year old in for her first haircut last night. Ana was AWESOME!!! She was excellent with our daughter and so incredibly sweet. Since Frozen was playing, my daughter basically sat there in a little girl zombie trance staring at Elsa. I actually had a nice time talking with Ana while she cut my daughters hair… which, by the way, looks GREAT! She listened to my panicked «dont cut too much!!!» request and gave my daughter a great experience. She even put a little braid in her hair and did a blow dry flip on the ends, adorable! I love this place and we’ll go back for «Ana cuts» again. A lollipop, a lock of hair, a happy kid, and happy parents, thanks very much ladies!

We went here for my sons first haircut and Ms Rosa was great! She made him feel so comfortable and was very sweet to this very squirmy 15 month old. We will definitely be coming back! Thank for you a great experience.

My son asks me, «Is my hair getting long? Can we get a hair cut?» We keep his hair pretty short so the answer is almost always NO. He loves getting his haircut at Snippet’s!
On week nights there is rarely a wait. When it is his turn he chooses to sit in the chair that is used to play video games. They have an older game system with games that are friendly to young kids. He enjoys playing the game while his hair is snipped away. At the end, if you are good, you get a lollipop!

Took my 2.5yo daughter’s in for a haircut, twice. The first time I told the stylist to not take off too much (my bad), she listened and my little one came out looking ok. Took her back a few days later to get a bit more of the damaged ends trimmed… That was a problem visit, 2 INCHES OF HAIR ON THE FLOOR LATER, she looks like a boy with crooked feathers cut in her hair. I had to tell the stylist to stop cutting because so much hair was on the floor. BE CAREFUL careful before you just take the next available stylist. This is going to take months to grow out.

My son had his very first hair cut here on his 2^nd birthday. The stylist was fabulous! (But I can’t remember her name. Sorry.) She cut his hair in literally 5 minutes and it looks great. My son was crying and scared. She was kind and, obviously, good with kids. The hair cut was $ 20 but I think worth every penny. I will definitely be back.

Great place to have your kids hair cut. Staff are very kid friendly. You may have a bit of a wait without an appointment, but they always seem so squeeze you in.

I have had my son’s hair cut here twice (he is 2 years old) and they do a great job! I don’t remember the ladies name (she has long dark hair), my son is usually crying and I’m preoccupied with him, but she is so fast and does an awesome job. Only wish it were closer we have to travel 30 minutes to get here.

I took my son here for his first hair cut. I was originally planning on taking him to Kid Snips in Naperville because that’s where his sister had her first cut. But I was in the area I thought we would try this place out. I was a walk in appointment. The salon was not busy at all and there was only one stylist and one receptionist with no other kids or parents in sight. Our stylist wasn’t super friendly. We didn’t even know her name until the receptionist handed us the locks of my sons hair at the end of the session. Unfortunately the stylist made no effort to talk to me or ask anything about my son. Not even to make conversation. Here are the positives though! It’s a convenient location. It seems pretty clean. I was able to walk right in and my son was seated within a few seconds. Our stylist got right to work. She was efficient (big plus when working with kids) and she was very quick. His haircut did look great. She did everything I asked her to. If this review was based on hair cut alone I would give it a much higher rating. Sometimes it’s not just about the hair cut. Here are the cons: Even though her hair cut was great, I had no connection with her. She didn’t ask for his name the entire time. I felt like the lack of compassion made it feel like my son was just another way to put money in her account. Essentially he is. But what this stylist didn’t realize is that because she didn’t even introduce herself, I had no way of knowing who she was and therefore would not be able to book a follow up appointment. I would have because I appreciate a great stylist and a little boy needs constant hair cuts. I much preferred the experience I had at kids snips in Naperville. The hair cuts are pretty similarly priced and the first hair cut kids get a balloon, a certificate that has a clear pouch so you can see their hair and their picture is taken and attached to the certificate. The wait is longer but the stylists are sweeter. This place just gives a little card with an envelope to hold his locks. With all that being said, this is an okay salon but it didn’t work out for me. Maybe other people will appreciate this sort of place.

I love that at the last minute at 8 pm on a Saturday, I was able to get my 1 year old son his first cut. She did an awesome job for a sleepy baby and I was happy it was done before we had to go to church the next day.

Rosa was great! My son always cries & he cried a little but then she calmed him down. Everyone is very friendly! Great haircut!

We took my 2 year old daughter there to give some shape to her curly mullet. I was nervous to get her first cut thinking that it would just make it worse or that I would regret doing it. I am pleased to say that they did a great job. Meghan cut her hair and was great with her. I am not sure my daughter knew she was getting her hair cut because she was occupied driving the taxi she was in while watching Nemo. They did exactly what I asked and her hair looks great. We still have a mullet, but that will take some time to grow out. The best part was that I recorded the entire thing and she was done cutting her hair in less than 2 minutes. In toddler time, that is a miracle.

Took my 2.5 year old daughter in for her first haircut. She was calm and comfortable in the salon. Nemo was playing on multiple tv’s and she was busy with a lollipop. Rosa cut her hair and did a great job. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of cut at a kids salon. My daughter has pretty long and curly hair and even after wash it looks great. Overall experience very good. Will return.

I brought my 2 year old daughter and asked for a trim. they cut off the hair on the back and sides like they would with a boy, I will never go back. once I noticed what they were doing it was too late.
My daughter lost 2 years of hair.

I love how they entertain the lil ones in order to get the perfect hair cut. My son goes to see Anna all the time, she is the best.

What do Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and my 2 ½-​year-​old son have in common? All of them can hit those seizure-​inducing high notes only audible to dolphins. Unfortunately, my son does this while getting his hair cut. He screams, cries, chest thumps (Celine) and has the diva attitude (Mariah). Meghan, the hair stylist, is a miracle worker and must be both a yogi and an alligator wrestler on the side since she can calmly cut hair while wrangling my toddler. Now that’s beyond kid-​friendly. The haircut is under 20 bucks – doesn’t seem pricey at all in my case.

I would like to make an addendum… the manager at Snippets called me twice to apologize. When I returned last week for another haircut she did not charge me and again apologized profusely for the first visit’s mistakes. Great customer service and I will be returning to this location in the future!

Took my two year old daughter here for a haicut today. We called ahead and found that there wasn’t a wait and were told to head right over. When we got there the wait was only one or two minutes at the most, not bad at all. My daughter is generally a very nervous toddler, but when we arrived she was very excited about all the toys and the colorful environment. The stylist (Theresa) was super friendly and seemed to genuinely like kids. Theresa let my daughter pick which chair to sit in (car, train, or on my lap). She ended up on my lap with a lollipop in each hand and happily watched Elmo on TV while Theresa cut her hair. The cut only took a few minutes and turned out very cute. Afterwards my daughter’s hands were sticky from lollipops and Theresa found us some baby wipes to wipe her hands. She also had a lint roller nearby for me to get the hair off my pants. Theresa was extremely friendly and helpful and went out of her way to be super nice to my daughter. I hope to request her again next time.

Just last year, my child acted like instead of getting her haircut that she was getting her head cut off. It was very tramatic and horrible for both her and me.
This year, we decided to take her to Snippet’s. She needed a haircut, and barely lets me touch her hair as is, so I figured I give this place a shot. The place is decorated like a huge aquarium and Finding Nemo was on the tv. My daughter instantly loved it. She was scared when we put her in the cute little locomotive chair, but she instantly felt at ease when our stylist started talking to her. Best Stylist EVER!!!
I will definitely be back! Thank you for the great service and even better haircut!

I’ve been taking my children to various Chicagoland establishments for haircuts for over 5 years. No complaints what-​so-​ever, all have been great, until we went to Snippets. The actual haircut was fine, although unbelievably slow. The stylist was in slow motion, which is not a good thing for a kid’s haircut.
My complaint stems from the attitude of the manager behind the desk on the afternoon of March 29^th. If I owned this Snippets, I would fire her. Lazy, horrid customer service, and she was on personal phone calls the entire 65 minutes we waited for our appointment. We were a walk in, and were given an estimated wait time of 15 minutes. If we had been told an hour, we would have shopped and come back! The worst part was, she did not care at all. Complete indifference, and in fact, smug.
The receptionist/​manager position should be replaced with a sign in board, and another stylist. Much better use of payroll.

We’ve been here several times now… and yes, it is a bit on the high end for a kids’ haircut BUT we found out the hard way that it’s worth it to pay a little more to cut our son’s hair.
We brought our son here for his first haircut thinking the ‘kid friendly’ atmosphere would help… it didn’t. He just didn’t like the idea of someone cutting his hair. However, we have a video now of this traumatic experience for all of us to watch for years to come. In the end, his first haircut turned out wonderful though, he looked adorable.
We then went to one of those ‘cheap chains’ for the next hair cut… big mistake. It was a terrible haircut and it wasn’t that much cheaper than Snippet’s, not to mention we were back at Snippet’s within a month to get his haircut AGAIN to fix the other place’s mistake.
My son has now had his 3^rd haircut from Snippet’s and I couldn’t be happier. This most recent visit, his hair was a bit crooked but I didn’t notice it until the next day. I called the next day and they gladly made room for us and corrected the issue (basically gave him a whole new haircut) free of charge.
Sunny is wonderful, kind and patient. We’ll keep going back to Snippet’s for our older son and our newborn son (but he won’t need a cut for a while!)
