Snip-its

We frequent «snip it’s» for our sons haircut. Usually bi weekly. The salon is very large and has a lot to entertain children. (Movies, coloring activities along with toys). They’re usually VERY busy on Saturday mornings/​afternoons. You’re aloud to call ahead when you’re on your way which gets you on the waiting list. Our hairdresser is Allison. She is truly the reason for the 4 star review. She’s fantastic with our son. Remembers him by name and is always pleasant. Haircuts are a little pricy but worth it due to experience.

This place is the absolute worst. Regardless of how you instruct them to cut your child’s hair, they do whatever they please. This «stylist» was instructed to cut my two-​year-​old hair as a fade on the sides and on the top for his hair to be cut as a flattop about an inch long. Even had a photo to show how it was cut last summer. What what I told you I want the hard plastic oneInstead, he looks like a throwback to the 1950s or a Gordon Ramsay look alike. I am disgusted with this place. If it were possible to post this review with no stars, I would.

Kind stylists, bright colors and Frozen playing on the big screen — pretty much all you could ask for at a kids hair salon! I know not everyone likes the busy atmosphere of Snip-​its, but hey, I’m not the one getting my hair cut here, it’s all about my 2-​yr-​old! The stylists do a stand-​up job, and my daughter always leaves, saying «That was fun!»

I’ve been 5 times to this location and every time it gets worse and worse. Very dirty! The hairdressers have no personality and it’s wicked expensive I mean these are kids who are getting haircuts not adults! 20 dollars is crazy for a haircut and then 95 percent of the time it comes out un even or just no good.

I started the app to write a review while I waited. It wasn’t going to be a 4 star, more of a ½ star at that. got there 950. I waited outside because they were not open till 10 so me and another customer stood outside and waited in slight rain. Part of life but still annoying. Jose opened the door and checked us in, the floor was filthy and with it being a kid only spot that’s a huge turn off. So then I wait while other guy is getting his sons haircut. A women walks in a minute later I was like ok won’t be that long. She don’t say anything goes and Plays on her phone, just stands near register. I was like get my son in a chair I’m thinking to my self. 2 year olds don’t sit still as we know. After 10 mins passes, Another customer walks in. Register lady says about 20 min. She said oh is there just one person. yes she responded. one person left sick. So I’m like oh makes sense I guess, Weird they have someone that DONT cut hair working there, waste of payroll if you ask me, least hire a hostess that can cut incase of a day like today. So I was just annoyed but then Jose the guy that opened the door was done and had us in the chair in 15bmin. He Was polite, easy going and made my lil man look great! So he defiantly saved a customer in the moment!

what a great place for kids. My son got his first haircut here and received a certificate and a little bag of locks for keepsake purposes. kids are well entertained with trucks and bubbles, or TV. the hairdressers are fast, I think he was done in 5 minutes. well worth the $ 18. check their site for a coupon!

Great place! My son is 15 months old and the hairstylists have always been very friendly, great with kids, and give a nice haircut. Only 4 stars because it’s very expensive. After a good tip, it was $ 22 for the haircut! I attached a «before/​after» pic. :)

Yolanda was quick and did a great job on both my very picky 5 and 8 year old boys! I do wish they had a price break if you brought more than one child in at a time. Without the coupon receipt, it does add up! And those hairdressers definitely earn their tips there.:)

We had a great experience at our first Snip its hair cut. We had Yolanda, who was quick, professional and worked well with my daughter, who is 3. She even gave her an «Elsa braid» at the end of the haircut, which neither of us were expecting! We arrived about 5 minutes before opening on a sunday, and had to wait about 15 minutes. Frozen was playing in the waiting area. Sweet. (half sarcasm). I am deducting one point for the cleanliness of the bathrooms. As I said, we came right upon opening and there was hair all over the floor in the bathroom, especially around the toilet. It was clear that it had not been cleaned prior to opening. Snip-​its — I know you get a lot of toddlers, so please, for those of us who are in potty training, and have to get closer to bathroom floors than we really want to, PLEASE get those clean. Also, stools for using the sink for little ones would be nice. Over all, though, a good experience, and as silly as it is, my kid REALLY liked putting the little card in the slot and getting a (not filthy or dusty at all) toy. She got bubbles. Thrilled.

Nickelodeon
wonderland distracted my
tot for first haircut.
I had a great experience taking my one-​year-​old to Snip Its for her first haircut. Amidst the cartoon-​y décor and friendly staff who gave her toy rubber duckies, she didn’t notice her hair getting cut. We had a nice time, and I would come back here again for a child’s haircut.

I went in and got a cut for my 3-​yr-​old son recently. Donna was cool and had a great, confident way with my son (who doesn’t always take to strangers). She didn’t talk to him like a baby and was friendly and straight forward. She offered him a few animal crackers while she trimmed his hair and fed them to him so he wouldn’t get hair in his mouth. He loved it.
She was quick (a good thing when working w/​a 3-​year-​old) and gave a good cut too. It was a touch shorter than I initially wanted, but he looks adorable so who cares. I’d definitely come back.
It was also really cute inside and clean too.

Ended up here today because our usual kid-​focused hair spot was closed and my young man really needed a good cut. It was a lucky break…
I had heard about this shop from a friend whose daughter had gone here for a father-​daughter dance up-​do. She said the service was great and her daughter had a good time. Good enough.
It’s located in the deserted area of Garden City — where they are currently doing some heavy construction on a new fitness center. Parking lot was full when we arrived and went inside to put our name on the list. The receptionist quoted thirty minutes… gave us some time to stroll down to the party store and do a little window shopping.
We came back and we were called during the time quoted. Yolanda listened to how I wanted my boy’s hair done and she actually cut it as requested. Yay!
They have in-​store videos and games for the kids to play while getting their hair styled. A nice distraction and completely age-​appropriate.
On the way out, I asked about a membership. For $ 25, you get to call ahead and make appointments for your child instead of having to show up and wait. With three kids, it’s a bargain. Plus — you get a sheet worth of $$ off future cuts that adds up to more than $ 25. I’m all about convenience — sign me up!
I’ve been back (with an appointment) to get my older son’s hair cut and my daughter’s hair trimmed. They took us right on time and we got to request Yolanda who really does a fantastic, professional cut.
The facility is clean and comfortable. There is ample seating for walk-​in waiting in the reception area and I think that the stylists do a great job cleaning up after each client.
This salon is now my go-​to when the children need a trim or a style. It’s just about $ 16 for a cut… a little more than other places but I think it’s worth the quality of service.

I took my son here (reluctantly) for his first hair cute.
Adorable place. I explained to the stylist that I didn’t want his hair cut, just shaped, and she was very good about not taking too much off. They had a little tv at the station, and she even let me take pics while she cut. At the end my son got a token for the prize machine. He put the token in and got his very cute duckie and lollipop. Cute idea to keep tots happy. My only complaint is that it is very expensive. I get emails from them now, but never any coupons.
Snip it’s is also very clean. We will return!

We have been to Snip its 3 times so I think it’s ready for a review. Our son’s first hair cut was a great experience and we lucked out to get the same stylist for his second visit. She was great (wish I had gotten her name). The cut cost just as much as mine does (a little crazy!) but I was able to get coupons by being on their mailing list. After receiving way too many annoying emails and no coupons for a couple of months I unsubscribed. So it will be pricey but I won’t be bothered with useless emails, I can handle that. The wait can be crazy with a 2 year old because they don’t stay still. Our third visit will probably be our last, the stylist jacked up my son’s hair pretty bad, but his hair was still wet when we left so I didn’t notice how bad it was. I knew she buzzed too high in the back and went shorter than I asked on top, but there were patches of uneven hair in the back and he was very still the whole time so it’s not his fault. He left covered in hair and glitter, her station and the smock she put on him were not clean. He went right in the bath and I will be taking him elsewhere to fix her mistakes.

I brought little man in for a trim on a Wednesday afternoon after I was informed only VIP members can make reservations… so walk-​in it is.
Parking was a breeze since this is the side of Garden City that’s close to Chapel View. Inside the place was loud and fun.
Surprisingly, there was no wait for a stylist. Thank God, because, like Dani G. said, there’s not much nearby to kill time with a toddler. The stylist was great. She was super friendly, listened to my request and she was very good with my son.
I had to deduct a couple stars for cleanliness. They weren’t that busy yet there was hair all over the floor… all over the waiting area, near the cash register. in every crevice around the fixtures.disgusting.
Update 12÷20÷12: Cleanliness jumped WAY up second time around. I might have caught them on a bad day the first time.

I took my daughter here for her very first haircut and it was such a cute experience. We walked in and were seen right away. The employees were friendly and courteous, they even saved a lock of my daughter’s hair for us which came with a certificate. Even my husband was a fan!

I only give this place 4 stars because Yolanda is the only person that I trust to cut my son’s hair! She listens to what you want and doesn’t make my kid look like Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber. What is with most boy’s cuts looking like a bowl was cut around on their head?
It is a bit pricy for a kid’s haircut, but I try to find coupons online. This place gets super crowded so go when they open. Seriously… sit outside 10 min before they open then you will get in and out. If not, plan to wait at least 30 minutes.

Walk-​in service here is a trial in patience, but give them credit — the preferred club isn’t too costly, and along with a huge coupon sheet full of decent discounts, you’ll get the ability to call ahead and make appointments, which really negates the main complaint here. If you’re likely to return more than just a time or two, sign up right away and save yourself needless hassle. Free lollipops are a goldmine with younger kids, the staff is generally less weary of the kiddie atmosphere than a typical chain haircut place’s people would be, and the video or game option at the styling station goes a long way with what are usually straightforward and quick cuts. The facility is definitely catered to kids, so children look forward to it as a «fun» place despite the fact it’s sort of a chore. I have boys, but I imagine the styling parties they have for little girls is a real hit — it’s certainly all the rage when there’s a local father-​daughter dance scheduled.
Not going to be anybody’s favorite stop, but I think it’s executed pretty well, all things considered.

I was so nervous about my sons first hair cut but when I went into Snip-It’s I became less and less so. Each chair has a seat belt for the smaller clients and a T.V. for the older ones. There was no wait two weeks before the Christmas holiday in Garden City and we walked in and climbed in a chair. The woman who cut my sons hair was very bubbly and quick! She handed him a truck to play with and sniped away. He didn’t even realize he was getting his hair cut. Within 10 minutes we were done and getting a toy out of the machine!
If your looking for a place to cut your child’s hair hands down this is the place to go! We are now 100% a snip-​its kid!

This place drives me crazy! It is an incredible concept– a hair salon specifically for kids… bright colors, bubbles, prizes and the snip it cartoon playing at every hair station.
WHat the owner probably never envisioned was that this truly feels like a «kid haircut factory». No matter how early you get there, it is always an hour wait. There is nothing really to do there with your young child. You could walk around the half inhabitted Garden city lot but this place is located on the post office side so other than a few «mature women» clothing stores… not much excitement for the kids.
Once you are in for the cut… you will either get the stylist with purple hair and tatoos who is somewhat attentive to your kid while she cuts or the angry shorthaired stylist who seems like she is hungover, doesn’t like kids and is just trying to turn over as many haircuts as she can.
Following your child’s harcut, they will be enticed to put a token in this big rickety prize machine… out will pop a variety of different small rubber and dusty/​filthy toys.
Does this sound like a good time?
Good concept… poor execution of the concept… limited attention to the customer’s experience.
