I took my very wiggly cow lick ridden 3 year old here for his first professional haircut this morning. My husband had been cutting his hair but we had to admit that we needed a professionals help. His hair was a mess. We dropped in right when they opened and were seen very quickly. My son loved the car barber chair and Dee, who I believe is the owner, was very quick and patient. My son looks super handsome and he loved the whole experience! read more

$17 for a haircut. and i think $5 for bang trim. It was money well spent as my 20 month screamed and squirmed as she cut his crazy long locks. She was amazingly unperturbed and snipped very efficiently even though he was yelling and trying to break free. even though I and my son were draped with the smock i had hair everywhere on me and him. Kinda irked me that the hairdresser walked away and left us take of the smocks and to brush all the hair from our clothes. using a blowdryer would have helped get some of the hair from my clothes. Thankfully the suckers are a nice bribe to quieten him down. My 4 year old loves going to get her hair cut because of the promise of the suckers. The entertainment that they play on their tiny screens to distract the kids looks pirated and does not help distract the kids. The quality and sound are so poor its pointless. read more

Took my son again to Kids Salon and had another great experience. I was reluctant to take him as he is scared of the sound of hair clippers and usually freaks out. He did freak out and squirmed and cried but we left with a cute hair cut. Not only was the hair cut cute but they worked very fast. I apologized for my son kicking and screamin and the hair stylist didn't seem the least bit annoyed. I also appreciate that they accept credit cards because I forgot to go to the ATM prior to our appointment. read more

So far so good...my son went here for the first time today and it was our best experience yet. He didn't cry at all (well maybe a little) and our stylist was really patient with him and super quick. I recommend them...I'll update if my experiences change read more

My mom and I took my 15 -month old son to get his first haircut here yesterday. I love the fact that we were the only customers. We were able to take lots of pics of my son getting his first haircut without anyone watching. Also, loved the fact that my son did not cry when he got his head shaved. The lady was really nice about us wanting to keep his cut hair, that she even had an envelope to put it in and a first haircut certificate. It was definitely worth the 20 min drive out there. read more

Super friendly staff, cartoons, toys in waiting room. Usually not a long wait. Recommend this for children's haircuts.

I made an appt the day before and even though she already had a client in there (I am assuming a walk-in) she took us at our scheduled time and was very honest about the cut I wanted my child to have. I was very happy with the results and the price! read more

I hesitate to review this place, because it's so great I'd almost like to keep it to myself! I started going to Kids Salon when my son was 2 years old, and had cried hysterically every time we'd gotten his hair cut anywhere else. Kids Salon's appeal is that at 10:30 on a Saturday morning, it was quiet, peaceful, and the perfect atmosphere for my son. It was a nice change from the typical kids salons in the area, where you walk in and are bombarded with loud cartoons, kids running everywhere, and 6 different stylists blowdrying and clipping. My son sat quietly and watched the movie on a little flat screen TV directly in front of his jeep/salon chair, clutching his lollipop. The woman who cut his hair was very patient, and really took her time to give him a decent haircut. Was it the best haircut he's ever gotten? No, probably not. The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because after years of going to Kids Salon, I eventually went elsewhere and got a much better (although more expensive) haircut for my son. But, he's older and braver now. When he was a little guy, I knew I could take him to Kids Salon and he didn't shed a tear, and for that they definitely deserve 4 stars. read more

I took my kiddos (1 & 2) here today for the first time. Yes, it's a little dirty but not too bad. The stylists were nice enough and kept the kids happy. My daughter's bangs are a little too short and will look a bit nerdy until they grow out and there are a few obvious strands that were overlooked that I'll have to cut myself. But even if I have to clean up her hair, it'll still look better than if I tried to hogtie her down and do it all myself. They did put a cute clip in my daughter's hair after the cut, but it looks used so, um, "thanks" but gross. This is not the place to go for a super-cute, hip kid's cut but if you're in a hurry and in the area, it'll do the job. read more

This place was OK for my son's first hair cut. the second time around, I got an irate lady who kept on huffing and puffing every time the Lil 4 year old would turn to look at the TV above her . She also did an eye roll on me . I got bugged and left her with only $2 tip and she did a pout to the lady in reception which really annoyed me. Is there any other good place nearby for kids hair cuts in San Jose? read more

I have been to a number of these types of places, and, lets be honest... some of the people that work in them are shell-shocked from dealing with high-strung tantrum-prone kids all day/every day. But the woman who cut my daughter's hair was really good and patient and helpful. I have 5 year old twins and I had recently cut my son's hair, and he started squirming so much I just stopped when it was close to being finished. Anyway, we were getting my daughter's haircut and the woman there finished with my daughter and offered to and then proceeded to finish up my son's cut too. She straightened the back and trimmed around his ears with a trimmer. --And, she wouldn't take any money for it! We will definitely go back. It was $17 for a cut, but they have so much fun stuff for the kids getting the haircut and distractions for siblings that aren't (or are maybe waiting for their turn), that it makes haircuts painless (for parents). read more

See all

If your kid sits still, doesn't cry/wiggle then this place is for you. My 2-yr.-old son gets scared & cry easily so he had to sit on my lap. She did the best she could w/ scissors since he's afraid of the noise of the buzzer. I wished she would have kept going to make his hair a little shorter & thinner but I guess it's understandable since he was fussing so much. I've been to Candyland Cuts For Kids in south SJ & they would keep going despite my son's cries & I think I like it better. They charge the same price as this place but too bad I live too far to drive all the way down there hence I gave Kids Salon a try. read more

We took my 2 year old daughter here for her first haircut and had a nice experience. She loved the special car she got to sit in during her haircut and the tv with cartoons on didn't hurt either :) It was really fast (seriously, probably 5 minutes) and she didn't object at all. They listened to what I asked for and gave her the perfect trim/layers that I was looking for. $20 for a 5 minute haircut felt a little steep, but there were no tears so I consider that a win! read more

Came in for the first time for my son who turns two in a month and his hair grows like crazy! This is also the first time letting someone other than family cut his hair. I won't lie,I was a nervous wreck. We came in ten minutes after opening. They greeted us nicely and asked if it was his first time. They took us in right away He sat in the Jeep chair and didn't squirm. The lady cutting his hair was named Dee. She was fast and did exactly what I wanted. Being the time being my son gets squirmy she was patient and did the job great! Its somewhat a drive from my house and it's kinda pricey for a kid haircut but I really wouldn't mind coming back! My son came out a happy camper! read more

Nice place for kids haircut..very patient staff. Have had good experience there except last time where there was hair all over my kids clothes and they didnt bother to clean it saying it they have to be washed. read more

I have taken my son here a hand full of times. I have had a few of the ladies that do a good job! he just gets a regular short cut... If your looking for something a little more artistic I would take your child to your own stylist. read more

Love Kids Salon! I have been coming here with my twin boys for over 7 years. It is my go to place for kids cuts. Always reliable and they have fixed my kids hair when we've gone elsewhere. Prices are reasonable ($17) and rarely go up. They accommodate all kids even those that hate haircuts. There is a little play area in the back and you can shop the hair supply store while you wait. read more

I took my son here when he turned 2 for his first haircut because of all the good reviews it has on Yelp. The waiting room was nice for kids with tons of toys to play with and also little TVs to play video games on for the older kids. Aside from the 2 other family's there when we came in, (with their toddlers, who were screaming and crying) our experience was very nice! We went in on a Sunday, hours from 11-4 and were seen in about 5 min.There was a poster on the wall with about 20 photos of diff. boys haircuts you could get which i thought was helpful when its hard to explain what you want. My son did not want anything to do with the motorcycle or horse or other cool chairs that he could have sat in, so instead i sat in a reg. salon chair and he sat on my lap. The stylist Dee worked very quickly, and did not mess up when he was moving around. They let him do whatever he wanted. He was playing with helicopters, eating a lollipop, and was given a squirt bottle so that he could squirt the mirror, and the table, and even the stylist LOL. She was never "put out" by anything he did. We were in and out in about 20-25 min. We left with a cute haircut, a lock of hair, and a certificate for his first haircut! I will be going back because my son actually had a good time! read more

I took my 2 yr old here and the stylist was great! After a poor experience at another salon my son wouldn't sit in the kid chairs. The stylist suggested that I hold him on my lap and that worked. He sat pretty still and when he moved the stylist worked with him. I thought the pricing was reasonable. The four stars instead of five are because the chairs could have been cleaner. Everything else was great! read more

I took my son ( who is 3 1/2 yrs old ) here and it was an awesome experience! I made an appointment an hour prior to the haircut, and it was smooth sailing from there. My son got to choose from a motorcycle, scooter and Barbie 4x4 ( he chose the pink Barbie 4x4...don't tell my husband ;) or a regular chair. He was seated right away and started watching cartoons while sitting in his own 'car'. Dee went to work right away! She was very fast and efficient. It all took less than 10 minutes! And my son looked FABULOUS!!!! I have found my son's new hair salon!!! read more

I have been taking my 7 year-old here since shortly after they opened, as it's very convenient to where I live. They've always done a really nice job. Today, for me, was the big test of them as a 'kid' salon, though. I brought in my 17 month-old son for his first salon haircut. Again, wonderful, *careful* haircut. She dealt very well with him being a normal squirmy one year old, and really made sure he left happy and looking very handsome. When it became clear he was 'going to blow' if she used clippers to trim around his ears, she adjusted and switched to scissors. Wonderful establishment. Completely worth $17. read more

We just got back from cutting my 18 month-old girl's hair. I am in love with this place! The lady was very patient with my girl. I haven't been to other kids' hairdresser before so can't really compare the decoration, however I like the decor here, it's not overwhelming and my daughter seemed to like it there. I will definitely go back! read more

The best place for Kids cuts! Dee is fast and professional. Kids come out looking great and the price is reasonable -- what else can you ask for? read more

The best haircut my son has ever gotten. Well, in my opinion, and I'm picky. My son was kinda squirmy and didn't like to sit still (even with a personal TV right in front of him) but the haircut came out great. The lady who cut my son's hair was very patient. She also offered to trim my daughter's bang for free. There's also lots of toys and treats for little ones. My daughter really likes the small ribbon they gave her. read more

Love this place! I've taken my son twice and his hair always comes out looking great!

Went here for little man's second haircut. We did not like our experience at Kindercuts, and were a little wary to try this place but after the Yelp reviews we thought we'd give it a go. So glad we did! He did not cry once, and they did a great job. I LOVE the haircut. He was distracted by the jeep he sat in and the TV at the station. He did so great, and didn't want to leave the play area afterwards. Definitely will return. read more

My wife and I brought my daughter to get her first haircut here and we had a good experience with them. Kim was very patient and made sure that she did a good job. Thanks Kim! We will see you in a couple months! read more

I have taken my kids to a number of children's salons, and these were the first haircuts that I thought looked like real hair cuts! Usually it looks like the kid was wriggling around in the chair, and has kind of a "who cares, it's just a kid" look to it. Both of my daughters (2 and 4) were calm while she cut and she really was patient and took her time. I will definitely return. I wish she had a safe play area for the kids. The salon is open to the shop next door, and I am afraid my 2 year old will try to explore it when I'm not looking. read more

I brought my four year old son here for the first time. He enjoyed it very much. They have televisions right on the counters in front of the seats so the children can be distracted while they are getting their hair cuts. He didn't give the hair dresser any problems, he was too busy watching Wonder Pets. The environment is just plain fun for him, now when I tell him that it's time for a hair cut, he asks for this place. read more

Pretty cool place for a kid! They put their Comcast cable on for the kids to watch, candy, car car seats, like the battery powered jeeps, SO COOL, and they are quick with fussy kids like my girlfriends son. It is pricey but you are really paying for the cable bill and car seats haha. She lives around-ish in the neighborhood so if you want to come out here for a pricey experience but you have a harder kid to cut their hair, definitely come here! These women were great at distracting!! read more

Have brought my twin boys here for their first and second haircuts and they did a great job.

They did an excellent job with cutting my daughter's hair. I wanted something manageable for my 3 year old daughter and the hair stylist recommended to do a bang. It turned out really well and I am very pleased read more

We have been taking our boys here for 10 years. They know our kids' hair and how to cut it. Recently one of my sons' needed a haircut and we missed their closing and ended up at Supercuts down the street. They made a mess of his hair. The next time I brought my son to Dee she said, "who cut his hair last - it's terrible." My husband comes here too and he started to come because he couldn't get a consistent hair cut anywhere else. This shop is not just for kids, but for anyone who wants to keep the same hairdresser and a consistent cut. read more

3rd time is the charm!!! My sons stylist was soo verbal and asked me a few times if I liked the haircut so far..And was soo sweet and kind with my son! He started to cry but she comforted him by explaining the tools she was using ..she even got him to smile!!! My husband and I were amazed at how well this visit went!! Love Kids Salon!!! :) read more

I've been taking my son, Bradley here for years. Never had a problem & they are very good!

My daughter's hair always looks super cute after a trip here. I highly recommend it over Kinder Cuts which gives a very cute first haircut certificate and lock of hair, but the cut was crooked. read more

I took my 14-month-old daughter here to get her first haircut. Our stylist was Sandra and she did a phenomenal job! My daughter is a squirmy little thing and spent all twenty minutes trying to escape from her seat or grab the comb/scissor-type tool. Sandra was very calm, patient and made me feel extremely comfortable in a situation that, to be honest, I was dreading! Her haircut turned out adorable - exactly as I wanted it to. The salon was neat, clean and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely be bringing my daughter back for future haircuts. read more

We arrived just after 3 other families did, but the hair dresses worked quickly and professionally, and there are video games and toys in the back of the salon for kiddos to be occupied with. My 4-year old son loved the race car chair and the fact that he had his own tv with Mickey Mouse on while he got his hair cut. He's a special needs child and they were great with him. At $17 for a haircut, this is $7 cheaper than where we went before and about twice as fast. They recommend you go between 1-2 during the week for the least waiting time. read more

We have been coming here since my older son was very little. Now he's a pre- teen and is very specific about how he wants his hair. Dee is awesome! They are quick and do a really nice job- that's what you're looking for in a kids haircut place. We've always had a really good experience here! read more

They did a good job cutting the hair of my 15-month old toddler, but he cried the entire time. The lady did not make much of an effort to comfort him, except She offered a lollipop. We don't give sugar to my sun, so it did not really help. We will not going back again, because his tears does not worth how well the cut may be. read more
