Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids

"We arrived 7 minutes late and the stylist had already clocked out for lunch. They wouldn't see us. If you have a time limit that is that strict (more strict than adult salons) please communicate in your emails and texts before the appointment. My son left in tears because he was so excited to get his first haircut."

"My son has level 3 Autism Spectrum Disorder and one of the hardest things to accomplish for him is getting his haircut. It is extremely difficult to find someone who is patient, understanding and accommodating to cut his hair. Today, I went to Shear Madness to get those dreaded haircuts. When it was my son’s turn, he fought me hard and became a bowl of limp noodles when trying to get him to the chair. After a few minutes that felt like an eternity of struggling, Perla- who happened to be the salon manager- came to me and said “Mama, I am more than ok with cutting his hair out here. He doesn’t have to sit in the chair.” She was so patient, gentle and talked him through his entire haircut in a way HE would understand. “You see the purple (she was switching from a 2 to a 1)? We are changing it to white now- can you say white?” She would show him, let him touch it and then do a little tickle on the back of his neck to ensure him everything was going to be ok. When he moved, Perla moved too, all while continuing to cut his hair and interact with him. Half way through his haircut, another stylist came by and sat down next to them and the three of them sang baby shark, and counted, did ABC’s, and just fully submerged themselves into my son’s world. This beautiful experience brought on a wave of emotions and I will cherish this experience, Perla and the entire team at Shear Madness for the rest of my life❤️"

"My kids love all the Shear Madness locations. They get to play video games and choose from fun chairs to sit in. The boutique has the cutest toys. The whole atmosphere and experience is super fun. I definitely recommend for 1st haircuts or just a treat. They also offer small parties and children's spa services. How cute!?"

"I took my 16 month old here to have his first haircut. I booked the “first hair cut experience” which was supposed to give us double normal appointment time to make sure everyone had time to get comfortable have fun. Right off the bat the stylist seemed to be in a hurry, did not listen to what we wanted from the haircut and definitely did not listen when I told her this was hard for me to see his curls cut. She didn’t encourage my child to get comfortable or give him time to adjust, actually cut his hair without the cape and kept telling him sternly to “sit still”. The entire cut probably lasted 5 mins. The haircut it’s self was awful and our first haircut experience was awful. The manager did a good job listening to our frustration and gave me the number to the owner who I still have not gotten a return phone call back. We will never be returning to any of their locations and I would not recommend it to anyone."

"Couldn’t recommend Shear Madness enough! We are first time parents and brought our 2 year old here for her first hair cut. I was very hesitant because her hair is extremely curly. Kendra was our hair stylist and she was absolutely fantastic. From the friendliness to the employees, to the kid friendly environment. I really couldn’t think of a better place to bring our little girl! Will absolutely be returning for all future haircuts."
