Snip-Its Haircuts For Kids

This is the 4^th visit my toddler (still under 2 years old) has had with snip it’s. For the most part it was a good experience with the only exception being a bad haircut when I chose an alternate stylist. The stylist by the name of «Eap» (Peabody massachuetts location) is terrific, I only go to her now. She is very patient with my son, who is a little too young to understand he needs to sit still.
The only complaint I have is that the kids toys and books are a little worn and rough looking. It would be nice to see them toss out the really gross ones.

OK, depends on who you get. We usually have the same person on Sundays, however she was on vacation this week (yay for her, she deserves it!) My kids needed a cut desperately, so I thought how bad could it be. Well, it was bad, we had a gentleman who would not CUT his hair, he trimmed around the edges and then I asked him to cut it shorter (my boys hate to brush their hair) he seemed annoyed and did a terrible job, making little comments. REALLY!!!
So now my kids have horrible cuts, and I’ll have to pay in a few weeks for another when the hair grows in a bit.
I may go back, but only if we can get our regular stylist. Otherwise I’ll start to look around.

My kids haircut is generally pretty good here. The front desk staff has never really seemed all that polite. I guess I can overlook something like this although having this position represents the business. If you do not like your job then don’t do this… And perhaps whoever hired her should pay better attention to attitude as well

I had to write an update because it has been a few years. We continue to go back here and have been satisfied every time. We have gone on different days and at different times and we haven’t had long waits. We’ve had success with our son, who hates haircuts. My oldest daughter wants to do the birthday party there so we are looking forward to that and when that happens I will update again! This is a great place to go if you have a child that is difficult to get a haircut.
I haven’t noticed the problem I previously mentioned (the hair everywhere). I’ve noticed it a lot cleaner.

This is the worst place you could go to get your child a haircut. I always take my 3 year old son to supercuts, but we were driving by and I thought this place would be good for a change. The place has a kid friendly décor, with outdated video monitors with some kid songs and videos playing at the chair to keep them occupied while they get a cut. My son always gets a faux hawk, so I asked the gentleman to give him one, he had a picture on the wall of a Justin Beiber stye haircut and asked «like this one?» Like he had no idea what I was asking for. I had to explain I wanted his hair nice and tight on the sides with a little length left on top so we can spike it up. Ten minutes later and my son has the worst haircut he has ever had, he was basically shaved head all around except for a straight up Mohawk that doesn’t even go all the way to the back of his head. And to top it off, it was $ 3 more than if I just took him to Supercuts where they do an awesome job. My advice is your child doesn’t need 10 minutes of crummy cheap child amusement to get a haircut, just to be stuck with a train wreck on their head.

We just left & my little boy got a great haircut from Denise. She was very attentive & patient. $ 17.99 was a great deal for a really cute little boys haircut.

I was nervous about going here because I’d read mixed reviews. Well. Let me tell you I’m impressed. We took our 16 month old for his first haircut… The stylist did an amazing job on a moving target! He was very nervous and mostly cried but she cut an amazing haircut in very little time! So thankful. The actual event was a bit traumatic for baby and the parents… But that really is to be expected at this stage in development. Will plan to continue to go for years to come

I brought my son here for his first haircut. It was also his first birthday so I was already a wreck. I had heard good things about this place so trusted it would be a good experience… I was wrong. The girl at the front desk seemed bored to put it nicely and I didn’t even realize she was sitting there until we were there a few minutes. We put our name in and sat down. The woman who cut my sons hair seemed nice enough but again slightly miserable. I was trying so hard to be excited about this momentous occasion I was overlooking all of this, praying his hair cut would come out ok… it didn’t. However, I didn’t realize how butchered it was until we got home and his hair dried. I can only describe it as looking like Jim Carrey’s character in dumb and dumber. Every time I look at his hair I want to cry. Do yourself a favor and bring your child somewhere more reputable!!!

We took my 1-​year-​old son here to get his first haircut. We had a wonderful experience — Thomas (the older gentleman) was great with him. He was very kind and kept him entertained while efficiently cutting his hair. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars is that we had to wait a half hour — to be fair, it was a weekend afternoon. We will be back!

ZERO STARS
I’ve been here a bunch and the hair cuts were always so so (slightly uneven, not listening to what I asked for), but I dealt with it because it was inexpensive and I didn’t need an appointment for my kid.
My most recent experience there with my almost 2 year old was fucking horrendous. I mean, there’s really no other way to describe how the woman butchered my daughter’s hair. We went in for a bang trim because my daughter’a bangs were so long that they were in here eyes. She was freaking out because she didn’t want to be strapped down in the chair. Fine, she sat in my lap and didn’t move. I stated I wanted them a little shorter than her eyebrows because her hair grows so fast.
The lady started cut and chopping. I just kind of assumed she knew what she was doing (working at a kids’ hair salon and all). The woman continued to just chop and seemingly cut at free random, thus and BUTCHERING her bangs.
Although management was apologetic, their empathy pissed me off more («it’s not the worst we’ve seen“[what?!]) and «do you want us to fix it?» Hell no, get the F away from my kid with scissors!
I know it’s just hair and it will grow, but it’s truly horrible. AVOID

I did enjoy this place as I haven’t enjoyed many others that my son has been to in his short time of haircuts. It had fun stuff to play with like wheels and buttons. They had a big enough wait room but I wish they had told me what my wait would be.
Our hairdresser was nice. We had lollipops, bubbles, and cartoon to distract him. I really like our hairdresser. I really liked at the end that they got a prize for getting their hair cut
However they have a serious lack of customer service in the front. I walked in to buy wax for my son’s hair at 5:57 (not a haircut). She refused and said they are close and according to her it was 6

I have 2 kids and my youngest is autistic it has always been very difficult for me and my wife to find a place to take him, it was do bad he almost went 1 year with out a cut ! Now we have been taking both if them here for over 2 years. I honestly know it’s because of the people that are there truly care … Our stylist is Stephanie and god bless her for kindness and patience !

Worst customer service ever! If I had the ability if giving it 0 stars I would have, but clearly Unilocal is too generous! I took my nephew today to get a hair cut, thinking this would be a great place. Walked in 20 minutes before closing and the receptionist tells me they are closing up. Then, another female approaches and asks if we can come back tomorrow as everyone is tired after having 180 customers through out the day. Congratulations on doing your job! If your business hours are until 6:00 pm, I should be able to walk at 5:58 pm and still get service. This is not how you do business or gain clients. I will never go back to this place again, and will make sure to tell anyone and everyone of their poor service.

Visited this location since I was in the area; the experience was just as enjoyable as the Burlington location. Located in a busy strip plaza that also features a TJ Maxx, Trader Joe’s, and an iParty.

My 2 year old has had about 3 or 4 haircuts here, and I’m always very pleased with the quality of the haircut and the ability of the hairdressers.
My son screams bloody murder and tries to escape, so the fact that they can do a good haircut despite this is impressive. On our last visit, we had been emailed a $ 3 off coupon which was nice. For the first time, my son cried only during the first half. The woman who cut his hair got him toys and a lollipop and was able to distract him enough so that he’d stop freaking out. I was so relieved as these experiences are usually very stressful.
Highly recommend this location for kids haircuts!

I went here with my 3 year old after he had been traumatized by a hair salon about a year ago. I figured a place geared for kids might be a better experience. The receptionist was at best bored, and at worst flat out rude. She did not greet me and I had to initiate with her. There were no smiles from her, nothing friendly. Customer service at the front desk I would rate a one star. I expected a lot more from a place exclusively for kids.
The waiting room was kid appropriate, many books and puzzles were missing pieces or ripped but that didn’t bother me. We waited about ten minutes as there were two stylists and 3 or 4 kids ahead of us. When we got called the stylist was nice and my son didn’t cry at all! The tv show they have for the kids is a joke, it was a short video on repeat of «snip-​its» characters, that was too small and hard to see. So if you are counting on media to keep your kid entertained during their haircut bring your iPad because the tv will not cut it.
The haircut itself came out great for what it was, although it wasn’t exactly what I asked for. I wanted something a little funky and showed the stylist a few pictures of little boys with faux hawk haircuts. She barely glanced at them and then began snipping away. So although the cut is cute, its not totally what I was expecting.
The cut took less than 10 minutes, and for a regular cut, it cost $ 17.99. I thought that was a bit expensive for a kids cut, but was hoping the experience would make the money worth it.
At the end, my son got a lollipop and a «ticket» that he put in to a machine to get a prize. His prize was a plastic snake that broke literally on the ride home. So nothing special there.
All in all, cute haircut, decent atmosphere, ok service, and overpriced.

Had previously been to the SnipIts in Burlington and after a bad experience (I asked for somthing & the stylist did what SHE wanted & told me «Ooh No I had to do that»), so I decided to try this location out…
After having been to the other location I knew what to expect, but this place was all around a bit nicer! There were soo many stylists working (I was there at 10am on a Sat) and the wait was about 1 – 2 mins… Loved the girl we got, I even brought a pic of how his hair was after his last haircut & exactly what I wanted… She did it in about 10 minutes flat, but there was no rush — My son doesnt cry anymore, not now when he knows he gets LolliPops for being good during his hair cut… So After his 3^rd Haircut, we were on our way!
I loved the job that she did… Love the service I received. I will be coming back to this location again! I

We had our twin girls 5^th birthday party here and it was a blast. They roll out the red carpet (literally) for the party goers but they do as well for the parents throwing the party!
Party goers get their hair done, their make up done and their nails polished! When they’re done with that and some crafts they each pick out a dress, shoes and accessories for dress up and walk the red carpet! They provide party bags which contain the girls make up they had done, lollipops, their craft, a balloon, a bracelet and small toy. They provided the balloons, plates, napkins, silverware, a beautiful and delicious cake with birthday girl (s) names on it, crafts for the kids.
There were three stylists /​assistants helping with our party. They were friendly, eager to help, professional and great with the kids. They were patient and made sure there was ample time for pictures especially on the red carpet. Individual poses and posing for a group picture at the end. Then it was time for cake and presents! Two of the party stylists /​assistants even wrote down who gave what presents for me to do my thank yous!
A+ They truly went above and beyond!

We walked in around 1ish on a Sunday and the place wasn’t too busy (which I planned on it being). We walked up to the desk and the receptionist was on the phone, so my 5 year old and I waited while the receptionist continued to talk and talk (and talk!!) on the phone. It was obviously NOT a business call. I was about to leave when one of the stylists greeted us and told us she’d be right with us. Ok, so first impression, not the best.
However, the stylist that greeted us ended up cutting my daughter’s hair and did a good job. The TV/​movie that was on bored my 5 year old and I found it hard to see on the tv, too small maybe. However, a younger child may find it entertaining. All in all, the haircut came out good and the stylist put my daughter’s hair in braids, which my daughter really liked. She also liked the lollipop and toy she got at the end. So, I’d give it two starts, since the price was somewhat high ($ 18) for a cut that took all of 10 minutes and we stood at the front desk for almost 5 minutes without any sort of greeting/​acknowledgment.

So I had been trying to make it a point to take my son for a haircut for a couple weeks now. He was constantly looking like he had «bed head» and every time I trimmed his hair, it looked worse and worse.
Snip-​its is a hair salon strictly for kids. Everything is kid sized and kid friendly. I had heard about this place from a friend who has taken her 5 year old son there since he was about 2 years old. She said they did a great job, so I figured it was worth a shot.
I called at 9 when they opened and was told that for a «first haircut» there was a special price of $ 11.99. No appointment was necessary. Around 3 ish we fought our way through the 114 traffic and finally made it to the strip mall where Snip-​Its is located. The place was quite busy… babies and children everywhere. There are kid sized chairs, tv’s at each station, and lots of toys and things to keep the kids entertained. There were quite a few families in the waiting area so I was a bit discouraged, thinking that I would have to sit and wait 20 minutes with a 2 year old.
The receptionist was nothing to brag about. She was a bit rude and did not provide the greatest customer service, but my experience was good enough to overlook this. I filled out a short information card that they enter into the computer. The receiptionist said that Ty would get a «certificate» and lock of hair for his first official haircut at no additional charge. We were about to sit down in the waiting area when they called Ty’s name.
The woman who did the haircut was very polite. She was quite friendly and I really liked her a lot. Unfortunately I have a short attention span and with all the commotion going on in this place, I forgot her name. Ty was VERY eager to get into the chair and get buckled in, but once the spray bottle came out to wet his hair down, it was all over. He cried the entire time. I felt really bad for the lady, but she said it happens all the time and its no big deal. Within 10 minutes, she was done and Ty’s hair looked great!
I will definitely be returning to this place. They do a great job and its quick and easy. Within 15 minutes I was out and getting back into the car. Regular haircuts after the first initial one are $ 16.99. Worth every penny.
