    Girl's haircut
    Christie P.

    We arrived early to let our nervous kids explore before their appointment. We were pleasantly surprised when they asked if we wanted to be seen early since the kids were comfortable & ready. My daughter is *very* picky about her hair, but was absolutely stunned by how pretty it looked after her cut. My son who usually complains with the buzzer didn't complain at all & had a great time. He was joking with his stylist We will absolutely be coming back here again. These are the best haircuts our kids have received.

    Her hair was wet so the chop and unevenness was not visible when the stylist offered me to approve.

    I have been here once previously and I believe the stylist then was Virgina... she was perfect. Not much is needed for a kids haircut but this kid had a better cut from Great Clips (for keeping hair actually even). Today's haircut was a hack job. I also don't think they should include the gratuity on the total bill, since it is a toy shop and good luck escaping without letting your kiddo pick a reward for their excursion. Giving 20-25% tipping options on a $50 total ($35 haircut), why would guests tip on toys? After today's result, we will not be returning.

    Hair style by Claire

    We love Little Locks! Claire does an awesome job on my little one's hair. Great place if you're looking for a first time haircut, they make it special with a certificate. My daughter loves the atmosphere, the toys and Claire's sweet patient energy! Very affordable and super cute style. I can't wait to bring my son next.

    Equally AWFUL, not even close to eyebrows. This is 2025.

    It's really frustrating that this place is so disappointing, especially given its location. I first visited in 2024 for my son's first haircut. Despite having an appointment, we still had to wait 30 minutes. The staff were rude and unwelcoming. I came for a bang trim only. It's clearly specified on their website that the cut is supposed to be at eyebrow level. Look at the pictures--they cut it super short, uneven and I cried when I got home. I decided to give them a second chance, being very specific that I didn't want his bangs to be cut too short. The woman who handled the haircut clearly didn't know how to deal with my son crying. She was visibly shaking, and not only did she cut his bangs way too short, but they were also uneven. She even laughed and said, "Oh, I thought it was going to look worse." Please read all the negative reviews, I am not the only one that experienced this. Never coming back.

    Musing over which toy to pick

    Highly recommend! We have been coming here for years. We drive down from San Marcos. I have used both of their locations Solana Beach and La Jolla both great in their own ways. La Jolla is our personal favorite. All of the Stylists do a great job but Kim is our fave!! Romi is the Owner and she is super sweet and welcoming even when she is swamped with calls she still checked us in and took care of us while we waited for our appt. The toy store is fun for kiddos too and is another part of making a haircut a look forward to activity for the littles. I even heard some little 8 to 9 year girls come in while we were waiting and they remarked "we love this place, it's so cool." (With awe in their eyes) I don't even know if they were getting a haircut. They had me get a giant rainbow slinky down for them to peruse. Anyway, just an all around fun experience for the kiddos. Best to book in advance, (we do it online: www.littlelocks.com) if you can they are quite popular!! And I totally get it. :)

    Ask the Community - Little Locks

    Who would you recommend for a boy with long curly hair, we just need a trim and love his long curls?

    I think Marisol in Solana Beach does a great job. She's cut my sons hair now three times and he has natural waves. We even asked for her to keep it lengthier, a little curly in the back and she has been very open to suggestions.

    For my sons first haircut is it free or discounted with hair donation?

    We do cut hair for the donations, customers take care of mailing it to the Hair Donation organization of their choice. Most of the organizations ask for minimum 10 inches length from tip to tip. Our first haircut price is $27, priced same as a… Read more

    Do you just do cuts ? I wanted to get my daughter's hair braided. If so what's the average price? Thanks

    We do braid too. Braids without cut starts from $20. Please give us a call to discuss more. Thank you!!

    Do you have lots of experince doing long haircuts for boys with curly hair? Just above shoulder length? Thanks!

    Yes, we have stylists with plenty of experience on long curly hair.

    Do you have a stylist experienced with curly hair kiddos?

    Yes, we have experienced stylists to work with curly hairs.

    Are there options for cut to take place outdoors?

    When I called, they were back to indoors only. It would be really nice if this was still an option for those who request it!! Many are more comfortable with things outdoors in general, right now, since open air is a safer option, when possible.

    How much for a 22 months old? Does he have to wear a mask for the haircut? Thanks
