This place is genius! Welcoming child decor, car chairs, cartoons to help the children stay still, speedy service, and a good haircut. First time there and I will be coming back. Highly recommend!! read more

Kinder Cuts - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

Great first haircuts location!!! They are so fast and are great with working with kids. There are so many distractions to help them get through the cut. They are so understanding if your child does cry too! Descent price for a kid's cut! read more

I needed a first haircut for my 10 month old son. His stylist was quick and efficient, turning him from shaggy baby to little boy in less than 10 minutes. We look forward to going back for his next clean up. read more

Dee did an excellent job with 9 month old Akira. Got in and out within 15 minutes... It helped that Akira was enjoying the haircut. Dee mentioned that it is better to start off kids younger. So if your kid needs a haircut and is less than a year old, i would not hesitate. I was on the fence about taking my son to a salon before this experience. I am going to return as often as needed to get Akira his professional looking trim. read more

first let me say how much Yelp helped me out on this one :) Thanks for all the reviews! Two weeks ago, I brought 2 of my boys (ages 5 and 2) to get their haircuts to this salon. I knew that it was going to be a struggle with my 2 year old, especially that this was going to be his first real haircut. We did a walk in on a friday afternoon at around 130pm. This is probably the best time to bring your kids, unless it interferes with their afternoon naps! Both my boys were seated no more than 5 minutes upon arrival. I highly recommend this salon to other parents. The staff/stylists (Kim and Dee) were great with my kids! Last Friday, I decided to bring my daughter for a haircut also. :) I read more

This is my boys 3rd. time getting his haircut there. And there will be many more visits if they keep doing what they do. As a parent who doesn't want there child traumatized for the first time, within reason of personality types that easily get frightened. This place will make your child feel comfortable. Walk in, and you get greeted by soft spoken, confident hairstylist who understand the patience needed to deal with us, the overprotective parent and the short-attention, tempered child. They give your little one a choice to sit on an ATV or a Barbie Jeep, Horse, all with a TV. playing cartoons. Or you get just the plain old barber seat if all the others are being occupied, otherwise you can wait if you want to give your little Veruca Salt whatever they want. Which in that case leads to an awesome waiting section for kids to play in. Containing games, toys, and movies. (side point: very young babies or infants need to sit with their parents on the plain old barber seat.) -safer & better for your child's safety & emotional attachment to there momma. So overall, they will dance with your child's constantly moving head as they cut each strand. They will ask from the beginning-during-end your requirements or opinion, making you a very satisfied parent. And giving our self-perceived good behaved child a lollipop. You can have one too if you ask. read more

My son has been getting haircuts since he was 6 months old but as he has gotten older it has become more difficult. He started having meltdowns to the point that the last time he sat on my lap and I held his head in place since they had already started on one side. His hair was getting too long and everyone get it was there job to tell me so. After a week of talking it up I had him excited for a haircut. There was a little wait but it flew by fast. He almost backed out but I calmed him down and Sandra got to work. She was fast and precise and obviously has a lot of experience. She made sure to wipe his neck of any stray hairs and double checked the cut. I highly recommend Sandra for boys! We'll be back soon Sandra! P.S. I love how each screen has a tv read more

My son loathes getting his haircut. We're talking hysterical crying and snot running down his nose, kind of loathe. So needless to say, we have been unsuccessful with finding a place where my son wouldn't have a meltdown the moment he saw a pair of scissors. The director of my son's daycare recommended Kids Salon and I will be forever grateful for her recommendation. This is the first time ever that my son didn't cry while getting his haircut. Sandra was a God sent! She was very patient with my son and did a fabulous job with my son's hair. She has a client for life. The only reason why I didn't give this place five stars was because of the space and lack of greeting when we arrived. Other than that, we will definitely come back. read more

Dee is just wonderful. She cuts my son's hair. She is quick and on point! Worth every penny... Great place! read more

Kim has been cutting my son's hair ever since he was a six months old baby and it has been eleven years. He never wants his hair cut by anyone else so that shows how good Kim is. read more

I strongly recommend this salon for toddlers. We were in and out in 15 minutes. My 2 year old son was all smiles because he got to sit in a police car and 'drive it'. This salon is welcoming, kids friendly and a place they want to come back to. What a great idea of having cars as chairs and cartoons playing. Thank you for a great first haircut experience. read more

Dee and Kim have been cutting all of my kids hair - 2 boys and a girl - for years now. They are great with the kids and keep up with the trends. The kids love the lollipops and both of these ladies. Easy to get a parking spot and put your names the list! read more

I've been coming here for years and it's the only place that can cut my oldest son's thick hair properly. I've tried lots of places and he's been unhappy with messed up hair. The ladies are always so nice and the haircut is always even and shaped nicely to their face. read more

My son got his worst haircut here last weekend. I don't know if I wanted to go back so they can fix it. I'm already too disappointed

My son has been coming here for almost 2 years. Diep (owner) is the best! The other ladies are good too! She is patient, gentle and she knows how to keep the kids calm. How about a lollipop? is all it takes. Kids are suckers for lollipops! No pun intended. read more

Brought my son here for the first time. He's 2.5 and flipped out the entire time, but his stylist was completely unphased. She was done in about 5 mins. It's just a plain boys short hair cut, but I was really impressed with how fast and calm she was! read more

This was my daughter's second haircut, first time at this salon and it was a much much better experience than the previous place we went to. The hairstylist was so patient and so calm. She did an amazing amazing job with her hair. Loved it! read more

Can't be easy to cut little kids hair, but they're pretty swift and no nonsense. We've been taking my son here since he was about 18 months. He wasn't crazy about the haircutting experience in general, but by the 2nd time there he realized it was quick and painless. He kind of likes the tv time and the lollipop after. We are generally in and out within 10-15 minutes. read more

Not only did my son bleed during the haircut but they totally ignored it and continued to cut.when I pointed it out they gave me a tissue to clean up the blood, no apologies or sign of concern. For my daughter they started off with a different haircut but eventually cut it very short and did a complete boy cut. I don't think it's a hygienic place for kids, not a place which understands hairstyles and cuts. Even my daughter had red scars on her neck from the trimmer. read more

I'm lowering my previous rating because the last two times I took my son here we did not have a good experience at all. Dee was rushing both times. Even the time we did have an appt and no one else was waiting. Both haircuts came out uneven. My son's request to be seated in the car during the last visit was completely ignored and he had to sit on the horse that wasn't even clean. Before I could say anything his head was already sprayed with water. What frustrated me the most though was Dee's complete disregard of the fact that my son was scared. All she had to do was to stop for just a second and tell him it was ok instead of annoyingly tapping on the tv trying to get him to watch a (very strange) cartoon. I am not going back there. read more

If you have girls older than 3 who can sit still, and who have hair that is in need of anything other than bangs being trimmed, GO ELSEWHERE. I took my three girls in today - two just wear basic bobs, and the littlest one's is tricky - straight on top and curly underneath. Oldest one's bangs were glaringly uneven, and the lady seemed totally unable to see it until I almost had to point to individual sections. Youngest one's hair was longer on one side than the other, totally uneven in the back, and once again the lady who did it just seemed to have not a clue what the problem was. Yes, they have little T.V.s (showing weird Asian anime that I nearly asked them to turn off), and fun little cars to sit on, but $57 before tip for 3 kids cuts where only one was decent is not okay. read more

I took my son here for the first time last week. He loved the chairs there and the T.V. The haircut he got was not bad either. So why the 2 stars you may ask?? Well.....when the stylist completed the cut I walked over to my son and noticed a little section of hair that she happened to miss on the top of his head. I very politely asked if she could just go over that one little area again since it looks like she may have *accidentally* missed a spot - no biggie. You could tell it totally irritated her though. What really bugged me is that she offered 2 other kids there a lollipop, but not my son - he was disappointed. Not cool. Don't take out your irritation for me on my son. Won't go back. read more

TWICE (!) BAD haircut! I gave this place a patient second try because of all good reviews here and it's close by to our house. My 2 y.o. boy is patient and loves decor and ambiance of the place. As far as the actual service quality - I am very upset! Who works there? It makes me question if those hairdressers ever received any training at all!!! First time I took my son there he had longish hair and I wanted to give him some layers while keeping the length and shorter bangs - he ended up looking like a "coconut" kid. Ok, I am a nice customer. Maybe I just didn't explain myself well. I left a tip and was on our way. Second time, my husband took him there today with a long straight hair (pass his shoulders). We were planning to grow it out, but recently decided on a change. They decided to get a short cut with a little volume on top and shorter bangs. When I saw my 2 y.o. son's new hair cut - it seemed like it would have been a good idea if they had done a better job. On the back side it was a mess - completely uneven layering. On the sides - one side was shorter than the other. I am not sure which way the bangs were even intended to be by the hairdresser. How do you mess up SO much coming from perfect one length straight long hair to a short haircut????! My 2 y.o. was busy with cartoons, so no problem there. 2 starts are for decor lollipops. I felt too bad to give just 1. I am calling them tomorrow, but at this point I am not even sure what they can do to make it up. I am not going back to that place. They maybe good for trimming some bangs with a straight line, but NO MORE THAN THAT! read more

Dee and Kim have been cutting all of my kids hair - 2 boys and a girl - for years now. They are great with the kids and keep up with the trends. The kids love the lollipops and both of these ladies. Easy to get a parking spot and put your names the list! read more

We brought our daughter here twice. The staff was quick and did a great job on the cut. But the problem is that they didn't disenfect their tools in between cuts. I didn't notice it the first time when we came in. The second time though I noticed that there was not one single jar of the disenfecting solution on any of the stations. I thought to myself well maybe they keep clean scissors in the back and switch out after each client. NOPE! The stylst just wiped down the seat from the kid who had been in front of my daughter, and then wiped her scissors off with the same towel. THAT WAS IT. Never going back, that is just gross. read more

I am not sure why my early review about this place was taken off !! I had enjoyed the cuts with Kim. Unfortunately Dee the owner was available on one cut for my son who was only 3.5 then ( now he s 5) She is very insensitive as some have mentioned. Not only did she cut my sons ear s but refused to apologize. Boys move but you have to be on watch or don't use sharp edges for sensitive areas. I would have forgiven her and gone back with Kim. But she s the owner. And did not bother to say a simple sorry. Went on to say 'I didn't cut it'., wow. As if I decided to put my sons ear s through knife actually I did put him under knife by deciding to go with this lady. If it was your son or daughter you will have sued her especially for her insensitivity. I was very happy till I ran into the owner. I have happily moved on to other salons. Be careful of Dee s insenstivity. read more

Good cut, but the lady cutting my son's hair was a real bitch and had no patience for him not sitting still. She did the aggravated-sigh thing twice and then actually rolled her eyes at him (he's 3). The place is pretty dirty, too. read more

Yelp has really disappointed me about this place. I brought my 14 month old here for his first real haircut and he left traumatized. The lady who works here really shouldn't cut children's hair. I really don't understand why/how this place has 4 stars. First off, I thought with the positive reviews the lady (I guess two work here, the one with the bangs) would be patient and receptive towards her young patrons. NOPE! She seemed irritated and annoyed that my son (as well as 99.9% of toddlers) wasn't too keen on the hair clippers near his head. She held his head down and quickly tried to finish her job even though he was screaming about 30 seconds in. Then she took a pair of scissors to finish and almost cut his finger as she furiously clipped away not paying attention or asking me to hold his hands down. 5 minutes later we were finished with his haircut and left with a screaming kid. During the haircut, this lady minimally tried to distract him with a horrible fuzzy version of Mickey Mouse in an almost broken tv screen and tried to give him a toy plane towards the end of the haircut. If I wanted to make my kid cry for 20 minutes after clipping his hair for 5 minutes I could have done that at home. NEVER coming back here even for a free hair cut. STAY AWAY! The lady is NOT sympathetic or patient with young children! PS. His cousin also got a haircut here the same day but left less traumatized. Same stylist refused to cut her hair as her mother wanted it cut. She kept saying 'no you can't do' that when her mom asked if she could give her layers in the front or trim her bangs to the side. Also when she went to blow dry her hair, she started to cry but the lady continued on saying 'she's crying bc you don't blow dry her hair.' WTF??? read more

Apparently, I was wrong about picking this place based on the good reviews. The staff was not rude but not that friendly. The cars were filthy!!!! I was so grossed out but I didn't want to be rude and leave. The older Asian woman cut both my kids hair. She put my son in the pink car which bothered us. It's his first haircut and he's in a pink chair???? Come on!!!! Seriously! She was nice enough to save hair from their cut and put it in envelopes for us. My daughter and son both recieved nice cuts but the experience of their first cuts weren't very nice. That will be the first and last time we go there due to the cleanliness. read more

I went here for my son's first hair cut, he was 10 months. The lady cut was rushing and he has curly hair. She cut him and he started crying, bad first experience. The place is dirty and the toys need to be replaced. read more

I don't recommend this place. First haircut for my one year old daughter was a mess. Entire process took less than 5 min, the hairdresser was not patient, didn't accord enough attention to details and was rushed. My daughter ended up with a half cut bang and with an overall uneven haircut! Plus they don't clean their utensils after each kid. read more

This place sucks. The customer service was awful. Sandra did my daughters hair and she didn't cut it in a straight line and the bangs were jagged. When I told her that its not straight she looks at me with a attitude and tells me it is straight!!! I will never come back here and I'm part of a big moms group and will most def tell them my experience. read more

This place has great reviews, and it's certainly set up well for kids. But my daughter did not receive a good haircut. I had to even out her hair when we got home, and she had only received a straight cut. Her bangs were well cut though. read more

Daughter's bang trim came out looking like a coconut husk. Sons was ok, little crooked n sloppy here w some loose strands. So far candy land my fav, way more thorough and patient read more

I needed a closer kids cut place and saw this was in the area. We walked in right after school let out so I was worried about a crowd. But there were only 2 kids there, and both were finishing up. The two hair stylists were nice, did exactly the cuts I asked for, and did them very quickly! Each station has its own TV screen playing a kids movie, so the kids were happy. My daughter (almost 9) is feeling a little old for a "car" chair or Disney chair, and they knew that without even asking. She appreciated getting to go in the grown up chair. Great job all around! I'll definitely be returning. read more

My 5 yr old autistic son does not like haircuts (or even hair brushing) so it's always a challenge to find a place that will do a good job and not make me and my children feel like freaks while my son screams bloody murder through the entire cut. The stylists here are very patient, listen to what you want, and move everyone through quickly (but not too quickly) even without an appointment. Plus I've never received a 'hairy eyeball' from any employees during my son's incessant screaming. LOVE them! read more

This place didn't really impress me. The lady seemed mad. My daughter was kinda looking at her in a uncomfortable way. She sprayed water on her face as she was trying to wet her hair. My fighter is 17 month old and very quite around people but she was kinda uncomfortable. The toy she was sitting on was dirty and stains all over it. Will not return or recommend. Second star for the loli pop. read more

This was our 22-month old son's first haircut and we went here based on the reviews here on Yelp. They were great. The sylist, Kim, worked really fast, did a great job, and was great with him. The salon is really entertaining for kids and the haircut was only $17. For the first haircut, they also give you a certificate and a clipping of hair to save in an envelope. I would definitely recommend this place, the staff was all really friendly! read more

My son got his haircut. Haircut was good , however place is really dirty. My son was very happy to see car chairs but it was very very dirty. Staff is very unfriendly , they won't speak single word with your kids . So kids are really scared.They are not cheap either, so wont recommend this place. read more

FAST, EFFICIENT, PERFECT! My son got his first professional haircut here. They did a perfect job and it was so fast too! I went to Snip-Its and HATED his cut and experience at Snip-Its. Kids Salon will be my go-to place from now on. AND it's not as expensive as Snip-Its. read more
