Snippet’s Mini Cuts

We did the First Haircut Package and were very pleased with the results. Anastasia was amazing! So quick and patient! And I love the jungle theme. I can’t imagine taken my child to a regular salon. We will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful experience here for our daughter’s first haircut (22 months). Walk-​ins are welcome plus free bang trim — we will definitely go back!

I love coming here and work with theresa. She is very easy to work with. Bring a photo, don’t assume. Pinterest something so there is a visual example. And remember, you can only leave a tip in cash

Tom gives the best haircuts. Sadly, he books up pretty fast. Once we went to someone else, and they gave the kid I nanny a HORRIBLE haircut. For $ 20 it’s not bad. The older kids can play video games, the younger kids can sit inside of a train, or car, and watch a movie while getting their haircut. GO SEE TOM!!!

Went there for the first time. The staff was generally rude and not very kind to my daughter who was a little nervous. We agreed her hair would be cut 1 inch, turns out she cut about three inches, but once she started I couldn’t really stop her. This place seems like its going out of businesses its dirty, rundown and generally sad.

This was the second time going to this place for my son’s haircut and we got the same lady (Asian). We told her what kind of style we wanted for him but she did something else entirely. Both times it was too short. We thought it was because our son was being difficult but after reading these reviews we are not the only ones to complain. Not returning.

Fun place to bring the kids for a haircut. The place has TVs for little ones and video games for older kids. The ladies that cut hair are all so very nice and friendly. I would have given it more stars but the lady at the front desk wasn’t really friendly (she was almost rude). They are also a bit pricey.

Whatever you do — DONT go to ANASTASIA! I have two experiences with this lady. (Only because I gave her the benefit of the doubt). The first time I took my daughter to get a hair cut was at 2 years old. Her hair was so long thick, curly and beautiful that’s why I waited so long! Well, I POINTED to her how much I wanted cut. (Remember, it’s curly) so when she went to cut it, she stretched her hair out and cut!!! I was sooo mad! I think on the video you can see my face how upset I was because it was her FIRST cut!!! I actually told her it was shorter then I expected because I didn’t want to be completely rude to her. Even though she «nods» like she understand what you want!!! Ok, so fast forward 2 YEARS I now have my baby boy who is going in for his first cut!!! The only person available was Anastasia! Like I said, I gave her the benefit of the doubt since this time it’s a boy, not a girl and it’s been 2 years!!! She’s obviously still there because people like her! Wellllll… I specifically told her, I still want it long on top and under no circumstances NO RAZORS or BUZZ Cut!!! It’s like she did exactly what I told her not to!!! I wanted to kill her! This time I complained! I complained until I turned blue!!! (They still didn’t comp me anything) but I didn’t tip her and I let her know she didn’t listen!!! Soon after his hair grew out I found Teresa! She’s the best!!! She knows exactly how to cut his hair and looks perfect every time. The day she quits I will not be going back!!! Thanks Teresa!

Avoid Sandy at all costs… totally butchered my sons hair 2 weeks before a wedding. I even showed her pics of what I wanted and said that I wanted it kept long. We walked out with a buzz cut. SAY NO TO SANDY!!!

This has been the only place I have taken my daughter for haircuts and I am pleased with the service here. My daughter always walks out with a great haircut, done by Theresa, and gets compliments all the time. I took out one star because the price is a lil much for a kids haircut and the «first haircut» package sucks. But other than that I will keep coming here as long as Theresa is. available!

While the facility is adequately equipped to distract most kids and toddlers while they get there hair cut, and in general the people are quite nice, the cut was worse than the one I gave the kid4 months ago which compelled my wife to insist I bring him here for the next one. Given it costs more than I pay for my haircuts, I would expect a better cut.

I purchased the first hair cut package, and I wish I hadn’t. (For 30 you get a card, locks, of hair, and a video.)
In my opinion They need to step up their game when it comes to the certificate, and make it way nicer. Instead of the cheap card they give you. Especially since that’s what you are really paying for. The child’s name, date, picture… Clip art?!
Aside from being a little disappointed, and going home to make a certificate myself, the place was actually really nice. Lots of toys to keep your little one entertained. Friendly staff, and teresa was great with my son!
I’d go back for sure.

Great place for kids. Lots of toys to play with while waiting. Friendly people and not rushing your child.

Now I have to keep clips and bows on my daughter’s head until this horrendous haircut grows out.
Normally go to kid snips down the street but it was closed so decided to go to Barnes for an hour till they opened and saw that this was open so took a chance. I wanted my daughter to get a pixie cut. I had a pic of one on my phone. And a pic of my daughters last pixie cut. She has very fine hair. And her 2^nd bday was in 2 days. She sat in chair in front of tv to a show she wasn’t interested in. At kid snips she got to choose her show to keep her engaged. Luckily this time she didn’t cry. Just squirmed a lot. But the stylist got the clippers out and buzzed away and I said «not too short and she doesn’t like loud buzzing noises (like hair dryers)» so I knew she wouldn’t like the clippers. Already it was too short and she took the scissors out to finish it and it was super crooked. Stuck out at the sides. I told her to make it shorter bc the alternative was to leave it crooked. She kept blaming it on the cowlick on her head. But that hadn’t been a problem for other stylists in the past. My daughter for her 2^nd bday has a boy hair cut. And when I said it needed to be fixed bc it was her bday party in a couple days she frantically tried to fix it. Ugh. She got out some gel, caked it on my daughter’s head. And matted it down. It looked better. But later when we gave her a bath and it dried, her hair was a mess. Uneven. Sticking out on the sides. Instead of a gradual layer on the back, it looked like steps. Sooooo annoyed.

Tom did a great job! And the place is fun. Our first haircut was a success. My son actually wants to get his haircut now. Thanks Snippets!

Super Cute Place! My first time there. didn’t have to wait at all which was great. I was a little skeptical about going since I had read some negative reviews… well they were right! When I first arrived. I had to wait for two employees to finish their conversation about cupcakes in the front desk… then I was taken care of. The stylist that took care of my child did nothing at all to try to interact with my toddler. What kid lets just anyone come near them??? My child was having a hard time and all she said was «I had kids like that all day yesterday» and «I’m just going to cut your hair»…instead she walked away. I ended up having my daughter sit on my lap. I did buy some vegan styling products before and I left and then received a call informing me they had overcharged me $ 10 for the products… Will never be going back after that experience!!!

I wrote this yesterday after my sons appointment, but decided to wait till today to post it and revise it to a more appropriate version.
Zero stars if I could.
I have been using Unilocal for years but never joined until today. I just had to share my experience at Snippets. I just had my son’s first hair cut at Snippets. I have been waiting for the perfect time and decided today was the day. I picked Snippets because of the first haircut package where they record the event. (Which is now $ 30 not $ 25.) When my mom, son who is almost 15 months and myself got there 15 minutes before our appointment and it was empty. That was nice because I knew he was going to scream the whole time. They told me to pick a car to sit him in. My son wasn’t going for that so I asked if I could hold him. They took me over to the chair where I sat with him. That was nice and they didn’t seem bothered by it. The two women that worked there were nice enough if you know what I mean. You could tell it was all an act. This is where it all goes downhill. I told Sandy what I wanted to do with my son’s hair, shorter on the sides and longer on the top and back. Like a Mohawk. She didn’t question it and acted like she understood. She got her buzzers out and went to town. literally. My son has barely any hair on his head. All of it one length except the long stray hairs that she missed. My beautiful little boys curls all gone. I wanted to cry. The type of person that I am didn’t say anything, but I think both women knew what I was feeling. Sandy took five minutes buzzed all his hair off and pretty much disappeared. She wasn’t even pleasant to my little boy. She didn’t even brush the little bit of hair he had left after she was done. If she did she would have noticed all the random long strands she missed. I will never go back to snippets on Clybourn again. I don’t even want to watch the video. I don’t want to know who looked more upset in it, me or my son. I hope my review saved someone else’s little ones hair. I am just thankful it’s summer for the haircut works and thankful that my kid can pull off such a horrible cut. A groomer could have done a better job. End rant.

Overpriced. Hardly trimmed anything off, but fun to visit and have baby sit in those awesome chairs.

Love the idea; cartoony distractions for squirmy toddlers that need only a basic blunt-​cut. However, if you have a 6 – 8 year old that knows how to behave and has gotten their hair cut before… not worth it. Stylists not necessarily trained to do cute, layered cuts for moms who want their kid to have something a bit more interesting than the basic. Website says on stylist bios that some have been trained in Europe… eh…I don’t think so.

I brought my son here as a walkin (this was the Snippet’s on N. Southport Ave) this morning. I had called about 10 minutes prior and asked if it was too busy for a walkin… they said that they weren’t too busy and it would be easy to get in. We arrived and my 18month old was ready to have a fit… crying, kicking and screaming. (it was practically naptime). I apologized for his behavior and they didn’t seem phased by it in the least. I sat him down in the Thomas the Tank Engine car (still screaming) and turned on an Elmo DVD. Connie brought over toys, lollipops and stickers… still screamed. She made sure he was buckled in and Then she looked at me and said, «Mommy leave» and pointed me to the door. I went outside and watched how Connie calmed him down… he realized that i had left! Anyway, as he sat and watched Elmo, she used clippers, scissors and a comb on him… he didn’t move. After about 10 minutes, she waved me in and he was quite a little angel! I got him out of the seat and he went and played with all the buttons and switches that they have set up underneath the front counter (very clever!) so that mommy can easily pay the bill. $ 20 haircut! I tipped Connie generously (i hope it was at least) for her talents.
They have different chairs (Thomas, Buzz Lightyear, Lightening McQueen, Barbie), there are plenty of dvds and tvs, toys to play with, a small play area, counters look like boulders, front counters have switches and buttons to entertain toddlers, a shampoo area, changing table in bathroom, and not overly inundated (sp?) with a «toystore» like some other kid salons I’ve been to. The prices are reasonable, staff are friendly and understanding, and it’s a spacious and fun place to be in.
