This store does not take credit cards and does not hand out a receipt. According to them it is because of the credit card fees. Ridiculous! They do so because they do not pay a single dollar of taxes, which means that they do not support our schools, social programs and public works. Think twice before you spend your money here. Also the kids' toys are dirty. read more

We used to live in San Diego and would drive from RB to get my son's haircut by Ariel. Three years ago we moved to Austin and my son was given the worst haircut there. He insisted the next time we visit our family we'd see Ariel. And we did and do still! Every time we're in town we make an appointment for him. I'll ask if he'd like a trim or cut from a local salon but he insists on waiting to see Ariel. From our first visit, I didn't have to go to great lengths to explain his 7-8 cowlicks in all directions (I wish I was exaggerating). She saw them and worked with them. My son's hair always looks great and grows out so well that he even likes it long! Ariel is great with kids and treats them with respect. She asks and listens to what they want but makes sure the parent is in on it too. The fact that we wait to see her hopefully shows how awesome she is and why we love & recommend her! read more

My 2 year old needed a hair cut and while they were the furthest from my house they were open on a Sunday and had immediate appointments. The hair dresser was great with my son, they had a lot of distractions to keep him from being upset, and the decor and fire truck chair were a plus. Like most hair dressers, she didn't listen to me at first, and I had to tell her after she said she was finished that I actually wanted it short. She asked if I was sure and I showed her everything to cut, and she did and it turned out just how I wanted. $25 for a toddler's hair cut seems a little steep, but it was worth it to get through it without him crying. I'll be going back again. I highly recommend. read more

I was very disappointed in my experience at Kids Kuts. It was the first time my daughter had her hair cut and we were rushed in and the stylist had no patience that my daughter was slightly freaked out by scissors. One of the moms that was there was such a help and her children were getting their hair done by Heather. She was so sweet and even tried to help our situation. I guess if you want to give it a try don't make the same mistake I did and walk in....make an appointment with Heather. Horrible experience! read more

Took my 21 month old for a haircut yesterday, Stacie cut his hair. Well I must say she is the worst with kids. He wasn't happy with getting a haircut and was not the easiest child but her approach was so negative and her energy was foul that he was traumatized by her. She was rolling her eyes and just stood there with an attitude the entire time. She could only badly cut the back of his hair and sent me home with a bill for a bang charge. Can't believe I still got charged for a job NOT DONE. I have to now take him else where to fix her MISTAKES. She is not good with Kids and I have no idea why she works there. The rest of the girls all looked miserable too and had no personalities. They just lost a customer. Would not recommend this place for kids. Ignore their name, they're not good with kids. Look else where people!!!!! read more

I've always had a good experience here - my boys have curly hair and they've always known how to cut it, always siding with less is more and made me feel very comfortable that they would do all they can to preserve their "beachy mops". Going on 4 years as a loyal customer. My oldest son generally has a good time, enjoys the lollipop more than the comb out, they do a good job with distractions. My younger son not a huge fan of the haircut, but the get him through as well! read more

Took my daughter here for her first haircut and thought it would be a good idea since they advertise a train on a track, movies, games, etc. Too bad nothing was on. No tv was on, the train wasn't on ( even after my daughter spotted the track they ignored her completely),no games, and the two "fun" chairs they had, had lots of buttons on them, but once again, none of them worked. The lady took 3 minutes to cut her hair, showed not one ounce of personality, and it was $17! She did braid it and put glitter in her hair which was a nice touch, but other than that, it could have been a super cuts and I would have left with an extra $10 in my wallet. We won't be back. read more

Heather is good, but if you get anyone else, it's hit or miss. One lady (I wish I could remember her name) cut my son's hair so that one side of the back was crooked. I took my kids back after she was gone and Heather fixed my son's hair, as well as my daughter's slanted bangs. read more

I will NEVER take my son here. I got a $50 gift certificate for kids kuts. I presented the gift card to the "owner" and said,"I would like to buy some product." She looked at the certificate and the first thing she said was, " I don't know who A.E. is" (A.E. is the person who authorized the gift cert) then told me that the gift certs are "usually" for cuts only. I told her I am not cutting my sons hair I just wanted to buy shampoo. I walked out very disappointed. My husband walked in, I told him we could not use the certificate. She told him the same thing. He turned around and gave the certificate to a Mom that was waiting for her kids to be finished. VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

I have been here before and walked in. My 1 year old got a super cool haircut. I called today and it was busy. When I finally got thru, I was asked to hold. I was on hold for 10minutes only for them to tell me there first appt is 4 hours from then. Drive across the street to supercuts and waited 10min! read more

I was very disappointed in my grandsons hairstylist. She was very impatient and obviously not able to deal with children under five. She kept saying impatiently... Hold him still! This is why we went to this kind of place....thinking that they deal with children. And it was a lot more money than the place that we ended up taking him to which did a great job. read more

I have had my daughter's hair cut at this salon by the owner Rey for 2 years and never had a problem. Rey does an excellent job with her hair. She spins her in the train haircut chair during the cut and makes it fun for my daughter. They also have a train that run around the shop and a play area with a slide. My daughter loves to get her haircut here. We've also had our haircut by Heather and had a great cut and experience. They usually have coupons so check out there website before visiting. I would highly recommend them! read more

Will not be coming back. Today was our first time there and the lady that cut my son's hair was so rude! His cut was ok, but her attitude was terrible. She said like two words to me. Not friendly at all. Very, very disappointed! read more

Don't go here. They hacked my sons hair so bad I excused him from going to school the next day. White walls, seriously? It will take at least a week for the damage to grow out. I am so upset, but the damage is done. I just hope this does not happen to anyone else. read more

I had taken my two girls here for haircuts for about 3 years and it had been fine. My daughter had one bad hair cut, it was crooked with a few long pieces left uncut. So I came back the next week to have them fix it and the lady washed it and said it wasn't crooked which everybody who saw it said it was. I showed her the long pieces and she snipped them off and then said she would charge me the full price again to cut anymore. She was very defensive and I told her she lost 5 loyal customers between my kids and my sisters but the owner just stood there and watch and didn't seem to care. They also ask the kid if they want layering and then upcharge you without asking the parents. They are priced much higher than pigtails and crew cuts and I have been much happier with the hair cuts their. They even do a nice little layer without charging more. read more

On a whim I brought my youngest here because he desperately needed a haircut. I had brought my other son before and we received okay service, was met with unfriendly hair stylists, or the salon was closed when it was advertised being open. Anyway, as I mentioned, I was desperate. However, my little guy has special needs so I was bracing for a horrible experience. He was paired with the most amazing stylist, Kai. She was beyond AMAZING in every sense of the word, and my son was so very comfortable with her. We have since gone back to see her again. Unless we move out of state, I will NEVER take him to anyone other than her! read more

The best salon for kids. No matter the circumstances--crying or being too wiggly--my boys always leave with a great haircut. It's easy to call ahead and make an appointment, but we sometimes just walk in too. The stylists are all great with kids. I will not go anywhere else! read more

My 20 month old son has had his hair cut twice there. The staff is really friendly and kids enjoy the kid seats. They are fast and its not a huge blow to the pocket book. read more

Been bringing my two boys (age 11 & 7) here for the last 5 years to see Heather. She does a great job with their cuts. In fact, my oldest son grew his hair to donate it and she took her time to get the most hair for the donation. My youngest son is in the process of doing the same and she is always patient with them. Excellent service. Clean salon. Warm atmosphere. read more

Ariel has been cutting my son's hair for over two years. She did his first big boy haircut, and we won't go anywhere else. She's patient, quick with the buzzer and scissors and gentle with her tone and her demeanor. Ariel definitely makes my fussy son feel comfortable. He looks like a million bucks when we leave Kids Kutz! Thank you Ariel for being an important member of our team!! read more

This place is amazing. They have a train table and a play house with a slide in the waiting room. My son was so excited. This was also his first successful haircut outside of our house. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and did a great haircut. They also wanted to make sure the other mother there and I were pleased with the way it was cut or if we wanted anything different. They have regular seats and fun cars and trucks to sit in for the little ones. They also have a ton of hair product for both boys and girls. I was surprised to see they also cut adult hair as well. It's great if you're in a time crunch and get your hair cut the same time as your kid or bring them to play while you get your hair cut, great for stay at home moms. read more

Came here tonight after leaving Great Cuts in Encinitas. Friendly staff, clean shop and just a great experience for my daughter hair cut. Will be going back. Thanks! read more

After much procrastination, I made an appointment and took my 4 year old daughter for her first haircut ever and was totally pleased with our experience. Amelia knew just what to do to make her feel comfortable. My daughter told me she was nervous as we pulled up the car, even cried during the hair washing (in hindsight I should have prepped her about that) and then asked me why we had to leave as we were walking out the door. Total transformation! I think the Elsa braid with sparkles must have sealed the deal. We will definitely be back! read more

The customer service is poor at best unless you are dealing with Amelia and Ariel, the two stylist who are also competent at cutting hair. So if you are in luck of calling and getting one of them to answer the phone and getting the appointment with them this is a good place for a kids' cut. Otherwise, stay away. read more

EITHER DO NOT GO HERE OR DO NOT SEE OUR STYLIST! I will not name names but I can tell you that the stylist was tall and thin and had long blonde wavy/curly hair. She arrived 7-10 minutes late for our scheduled appointment. She was somewhat flustered, disconnected, rushed and extremely unfriendly. She asked how I wanted my daughter's hair cut. I told her to cut a few inches and help take some weight off with some layers. The stylist washed her hair super aggressively and did nothing nor was empathetic whatsoever when my daughter expressed being in pain THREE TIMES at the shampoo bowl! She then yanked through my daughter's thick, curly mane with her comb and then finally decided to change to a brush which she also yanked through. I explained that my daughter has some sensory issues and she needs to be more gentle. She didn't even turn my direction and kept hurriedly brushing. Shame on me for not leaving that instant! What was I thinking?! I was horrified after she made her first cut. The layers were sooo short! I jumped and told her but she literally shrugged me off and said it was correct. She then cut a shelf on the front, right side of her hair! It looks like the singer Ava Max in a really bad way. The layers are way too short and uneven around her head and the right side of her hair looks like a disconnected shelf/bob. I now have to pay to take her elsewhere to get it fixed. I'm sure that hairdresser will recommended evening out the mess by cutting it into a Bob. A final note that the cut was way overpriced and you must pay cash or check. They have an in salon ATM machine which makes me wonder if it's an attempt to make more money and not report their taxes. I feel awful for putting my daughter through that. Will never go again. read more

My 16 month old hates haircuts, but we were able to entertain him at Kid's Kuts with the toys and he loved the train set they have in the front. Haircut was as good as can be expected with a toddler that won't sit still. Vee did a great job and was quick. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because the toys and train set were dirty and sticky and I'm OCD when it comes to cleanliness. read more

So glad I read the online reviews for this place. I booked an appointment for my 3 year old son to get his first haircut. Rey did an awesome job. Kept him busy, took time to talk to him, asked me questions about how I wanted his hair. We will definitely come back. My son was finished before he even had a chance to think about fussing. And he loved their train table in the waiting area. Highly recommend. read more

Great cuts for kids but the hours on the door are not the hours that they are open. We showed up at 630pm on a Monday night and they were closing up. The girls said that they stop at 6. The hours by the door and this Yelp site both say 9-7 M-F. read more

I was looking for a new place to get my daughter's hair cut and a friend of recommended Kids Kuts. We went in today and saw Gabi . My daughter immediately warmed up to her and Gabi was so sweet with her. She washed her hair and gave her a really pretty braid. We were so happy with the experience and we will be coming back again! read more

I've been coming here for the past three years my son had his first haircut here and I loved his haircuts by the owner, and a few other stylists until yesterday! She completely messed up my sons hair. Some spots are more bald then others! I said a 1 all around her mom and the rest usually do an amazing job and she completely messed up his hair style! Perfect! A day before my wedding right? Now I'm going to have to pay for another stylist to fix his hair! Never coming here again! I noticed at the beginning when it was "getting blended" and she said no I'm blending it in little did I know some spots are more bald then others she did a horrible horrible job! One side is fully buzzed the other well blended. And I'm so upset with the fact I'll have to spend 40 dollars on just his haircut. I desperately needed a haircut so I completely trusted her usually it's her mom who does an amazing job! read more

The place was Awesome Great for kids but The hairstylist that did my sons hair was HORRIBLE she's rushed his hair cut so it's so obvious where it's all messed up. It literally looks so uneven especially for 20 dollers for a messed up haircut f that. read more

Took my son in today - disastrous cut with Clarissa, back was uneven, you could see the scissor marks in his hair and the front was totally crooked. Thankfully Ray was there, and she corrected the mistakes that the first stylist made and was very professional and friendly - my 3 year old was not pleased about having to get two haircuts! Anyway, we'll be back, Ray saved the day. I think Clarissa's probably better with older kids, not squirmy 3 year olds. Great place, very kid friendly. read more

I had to have my hair cut twice in like four days because a haircut I got was terrible. Im 34 and was worried about going to kidz kuts but Amelia promised to fix the disaster that was my hair so gave it a chance. She was amesome and now so is my hair! I highly recommend going to see her read more

I love bringing my son here! He went to so many different salons, and each one couldn't fit his hair properly. Not here! Stacy took the time to listen to what I wanted, really studied his hair texture, and then gave him the best haircut ever! We've been coming to her for a while now, and just love it every time! read more

My daughter has been going to Ariel here for about 4 years, she is 11 now. Ariel is AMAZING! I started going to here about 1.5 years ago after seeing her but adults and my mom now goes to her too. I never really had people say anything about my cuts in the past, but now, after ever cut she has done, I have had MANY MANY compliments. I trust her to just do what she feels will look good and each time, it is perfect. Plus she is super fun and funny! I am sure others are good too, but Ariel is our gal. And to make it even better, I don't have to plan far ahead. People laugh when I tell them I get my hair done here, but always want Ariel's info! read more

This place is the BEST! Whether you are a kid or an adult, this is a great place to go. Delores and Rene are the best. They are quick, skilled, and very reasonably priced. If you need a cut or color this is a great option. You will fall in love with the salon and the lovely ladies who work here! read more

Amazing cuts! I have been going here since I was like 3 and I have had perfect haircuts every time! This time I went for a short spiky look and again it looks perfect! Kids Kuts specializes in cutting kids hair, and I have only seen 2 kids out of hundreds cry in there. Highly recommended for all ages. ;) read more

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE. DO NOT take your kid here. This place is so unprofessional I have no idea why they are still open. My husband took our 3 year old here last weekend and returned with the absolute worst haircut I have ever seen on a human being. Not only was it an awful cut, it was completely uneven. He had chunks of bald areas on his head. I am not even kidding. This woman must have been completely untrained or was either on drugs or just thought it was funny. To make matters worse, my husband said he was protesting with everything she did and all she did was huff about it and keep doing a horrible job. He said he should have known when he walked in because all the women were on their phones when he walked in and they barely even looked up. Completely unprofessional and rude. I took my son to Sport Clips immediately after and all the women there were horrified when we walked in. They basically had to buzzcut him to make him look presentable. read more

We brought our 15 month old son in for his first haircut. Based on the reviews, we asked for Rey. Unfortunately, the experience was not as we had hoped. Instead of easing our son into the new surroundings and getting him comfortable before his haircut, she went straight to cutting this hair. The result? A screaming child throughout the haircut. Rey was very sweet throughout the experience, but I wish that she took some time for him to warm up to her. She also didn't cover his clothes so we had to spend the rest of the day picking hair off of his clothes. If I knew, I would've brought a different outfit. read more

Frustrated by the lack of customer service, they have lost our business. I have always gone to Kids Kuts with my 2 kids. I have always thought it was overpriced and nothing special but went because it does cater to kids with the train area, climbing house, and special salon seats for the kids. However I am always upset with the customer service and now I won't go back. I gave them my daughters name when we walked in but the hair dresser never wrote it down. After taking 3 other people ahead of us and not being apologetic or trying to right the situation, I will not go back. Instead we went to Supercuts in Encinitas and had the nicest stylist who was great with my daughter. We did wait but they took our name and were able to assist us at that time they said they would. Complete with lollipop on the way out, it was less expensive, better customer service and a good cut! read more
