Trixie’s Cuts for Kids

Save your money and find a real stylist. No matter how many times I explicitly said leave all the length on top, she massacred it. I am so upset, because even though hair grows– this is going to take awhile to grow out and now we can’t do anything about our family pictures. I will never go back here and will let everyone know that this place is a sham. Unless, of course you are looking for subpar stylists that can’t follow instructions.

We went today to get my daughter’s first hair cut. They were awesome and despite being busy they got us in quick and really did an awesome job. Very accommodating! We will be returning customers!

I had my daughters 9^th birthday here last Saturday. The online pictures don’t show that the party is in a very small room. I had a 12 kid party so it was kind of hard to keep all children and parents in one small room. Some of the manicures looked rushed and the hostess could of been a lot friendlier since they are dealing with children. I expected them to also be dressed a little more presentable for a party. $ 300 for a very small room was a little much for what they offered. I would not suggest a party there.

Geraldine is a hair cutting ninja! She managed an amazing first cut on my 20 month old boy with no crying! They have an adorable first cut certificate and attach a small lock of hair in a plastic bag. A-​DOR-​ABLE. I run a business myself and it’s these kinds of personal touches that make customers happy. You can tell they are all very passionate about what they do! The car chairs and the toys were super cute. All the toys in the waiting room kept my 4 yr old entertained. Top notch!

Thanks for squeezing us in on your busy day! And thank you for helping restore my daughter’s hair from the mayhem it was. My girls are so happy with their new «do’s» and so is their mom. Thank you! :). We have a new hair place!

Trixie’s was the BEST! We were visiting from New York City and my 2 year old desperately needed a haircut. At that point he had had about 8 haircuts, all of which were nothing special and sometimes just plain bad. With Trixie’s there was no issue with making an appointment for the next day and when I met the owner and her husband, I was floored by how warm they were. Best part of the experience was the my son got the BEST haircut to date. My only issue is that we can’t travel 2 hours each time he needs a haircut, but for the professionalism, quality and price, it is probably worth the travel. I really wish I could transport Trixie’s to NY! Thanks so much for such a great experience!

I recently took my daughter here for a back-​to-​school trim, and will never EVER go back to Snip-​Its. Nothing wrong with them, but here’s why I’m forever into Trixie’s:
–I’m a quirky person by nature, and so is my four year-​old daughter. So the atmosphere of the salon, with its toys, race car chairs, and mini TVs where my daughter could watch «Frozen» really set the stage.
–Geraldine did not mind stopping in the middle of my daughter’s cut so they could both rock out to «Let It Go». I’m talking, full belt, no mixing, sing your face off. It was wonderful.
–Geraldine gave my daughter an absolutely charming French bob that suits her personality to a T, and not only was it stylish, it was surprisingly quick. She really has a great method with children. All my daughter could say for the next couple of hours is, «I just love my new hair cut!» BONUS: Some people may not like this, but we’re a glitter family, so when Geraldine poured glitter into my kid’s hair, she couldn’t stop beaming.
–I’d much rather support a small business that charges about the same for a cut and gives such wonderful personal service, than a corporate machine that sees my child as another number.
We will definitely be back!

My mom is the owner of Sundae Spa and we went to visit Trixies. I really liked the hair cutting chairs and she let me play the video games. The owner was very nice to me. There were lots of fun things to buy, my mom even let me buy one thing.

Our first visit to Trixie’s was this week. Love the haircut my daughter got (I wish my hair looked that good!) not to mention the great service. The stylist took the time to braid (and glitter!) my daughter’s hair, which she loved. And she was so great with my daughter. Only negative thing was that the place looks like it could use a makeover :)

We LOVE Trixie’s!!!
After having had negative experiences at another children’s salon in Shelton, we decided it might be worth it to drive to Milford to give Trixie’s a shot. What a difference!
Geraldine, the owner/​stylist, is amazing with our four little boys. They are all 6yrs old & under, so can be a bit fidgety at times. But, never had any problems with getting their haircuts PERFECT every time! This is especially important for us, since we really don’t have the time to be running back to a salon to «fix» their mistakes as had done in the past. Geraldine takes every child’s individuality into consideration, and will style his hair accordingly – one of my boys has a bit of a cowlick, so she cuts it slightly «uneven» so that it comes out looking perfectly even! That is knowledge only a true professional would possess.
My boys love the array of toys available to entertain them while they wait their turn, as well as the movies & video games they watch/​play while getting their hair cut. They all BEG me to take them back, even when it’s nowhere near time for a new cut! :)
I have read some of the other so-​called reviews on here, and I am appalled! The only conclusions I can draw here is that 1) The reviewer is blind, 2) Fake reviews, 3) Competitor attempting to sabotage, or 4) Some kind of personal attack on Geraldine – which I really can’t fathom #4 being a realistic option as she is one of the sweetest, most genuine people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.
The atmosphere is very kid-​friendly, clean, and bright! There is a large variety of toys and accessories available for purchase, several of which the children are allowed to play with in the play area – great «try before you buy» for us moms who worry about our kids losing interest in a toy too quickly. There are also several kid-​oriented beauty products to make little girls’ dreams come true.
It’s a wonderful treat when the business’ namesake, Trixie – an adorable little Pomeranian – comes out to visit! She is anything but hyper, very mellow & the kids love petting her.
Another great service offered is glamour parties for little girls. So cute!
Overall, we are thrilled to have found the gem that is Trixie’s Cuts For Kids & Toystore! I have sent more mommy friends there than I can count, and NONE of them have ever had anything but great things to say! Prices are very reasonable, and the service is wonderful! Warm, friendly, inviting atmosphere is all you will find here. We have been coming here for two years now, and are «lifers» because I can’t imagine bringing my children anywhere else!!!

Now threatening legal action… A simple apology or an effort to understand what my issue was would have gone so much farther. I can only imagine how many others she’s threatened the same thing.

My daughter has only ever gone to this salon and has her hair cut by Geraldine. I have never had a bad experience. My little one is a handful, but they do everything it their power to make it a positive experience ever time she goes (I.e. Bubbles, movies of her choice, singing, talking to her, toys, etc). We go every 6 weeks (she keeps her hair short) and have never had a problem with getting in. I recommend Geraldine to anyone who is looking for a talented, kid stylist, who can get the job done well and quickly!

We stopped in on a busy Saturday & received excellent service. The staff was friendly and great with kids. My daughter received many compliments on her new haircut. I liked that the waiting area was stocked with toys that the kids could play with, instead of just the «toys for purchase only» setup that many other kids’ salons unfortunately provide.

I was so nervous to have my daughter’s hair cut for the first time — scared it wouldn’t look good or that she’d freak out at the process. Well, it went so well at Trixie’s! She loved sitting in the car chair, was enthralled watching a movie, and her haircut looks so great. We even learned about and bought a product to help brush out my daughter’s hair without tears. We’ve found our regular haircutting place for sure and will bring my son here when he grows enough hair for a cut :)

Trixie’s is a great place to have your child’s haircut. Geraldine, the owner, and her staff made us feel welcome the moment we walked in the door. I have twin three year old boys. There was plenty to keep one son entertained while the other son got his haircut. There are car chairs for the kids to sit in while they got their haircut. The boys were e amused by the music the cars makes. The kids also could watch a show/​movie or play a video game. Geraldine was gentle with the boys. She talked to the kids and kept them engaged during their haircut. The boys haircuts turned out great. They received tons of compliments. I would highly recommend Trixie’s to my family and friends.

Had a Living Social deal for here, arrived at the time the salon opened and no one was there, went shopping next door to wait it out and see if they were just late. When we went back my daughters both had their hair cut, however my daughter had to stand while her hair was cut? We have visited «kids» salons and my own salon never has the «stylist» had my kids stand while they cut their hair, a strange and non effective way of cutting kids hair in my opinion, salon was also haphazard & disorganized, as far away from a NYC hair experience as you can get

So I bought a Living Social deal for Trixies Cuts for Kids. I attempted to use it one day when we were in the area and was told I needed to make an appointment. No big deal. A few weeks later I called to make an appointment and was told that I could only come during the week and weekend times were not available «because we rent out our chairs to other stylists and they won’t honor the Living Social deal». (That was no where in the fine print of the deal). I explained that I didn’t live in Milford and normally go there when I am visiting my parents. With some hesitation I was told I could come on a Saturday. When we showed up the place looked like it was a cross between a toy store and a storage area with 3 hair cutting stations thrown in their. We then had to wait 30+ minutes while she finished up two other children (I assumed that when you made an appointment you would be taken roughly around that time). I didn’t feel like the place was clean. The woman working that day had food spread all over the registered area. I find it hard to believe that it is ranked the #1 kids salon in the state and is run by a top NYC stylist. When I gave my feedback on Living Social «cheap haircuts but very unprofessional, dirty atmosphere» their response back was a personal attack on me and my husbands business (they obviously looked me up on the Internet to get the name of my husbands business — –seems like they stalked me). They should just take the feedback at face value and make improvements to their business. I will NEVER go back their and would NEVER recommend it.
