Lollipop Cuts is the cutest place and Annie (and her mom!) are both amazing at giving kid cuts. My daughter had her very first haircut here when she was barely 2, and loved it the moment we stepped in, as the salon itself is absolutely adorable. Every inch is thoughtfully designed, colorful, and full of whimsical details that make it feel magical for kids. I can't emphasize enough how incredibly cute the interior is. Long before I even had a child, I remember walking by and thinking, "I hope someday I'll be a mom and bring my little one here" Annie is wonderful, and as a mom herself, she knows exactly how to make kids feel comfortable to get their haircut. I love supporting this longtime family owned business. Lollipop Cuts is such a special little gem, and I'm so glad it's part of our community. read more

I really wanted to keep giving this place 5 stars. We'd been a few times before with my daughter and always had a great experience -- it's family-owned, which I love supporting, there's a play area, and the free lollipop after the cut is always a hit with kids. Based on those visits, I recommended this place to other parents. Unfortunately, our most recent visit changed that completely. An older stylist handled my daughter's hair wash and detangling, and she was rough, impatient, and visibly angry the entire time. My daughter was telling her it hurt, and she kept going anyway -- no pausing, no gentleness, nothing. My daughter ended up in tears. When I tried to step in and ask her to be gentler, she told me not to interfere, said this was "how kids should be handled," and that she was "doing the right thing." She then asked me to stand far away or leave. I should have pulled my daughter out right then, and I regret not doing so. On top of that, payment was oddly handled -- she initially insisted on cash only, then ended up accepting Zelle instead. I hate leaving a review like this because I know how hard small, family-run businesses work, and our earlier visits genuinely were lovely. But a child in tears, being told by a stylist to stop listening to her own parent, is not something I can leave out of a review meant to help other families decide. If you go, I'd ask specifically to avoid this stylist, or watch the hair wash/detangling process closely. read more

My child's hair cut seemed rushed from the moment we sat down. My child was understandably nervous, but instead of helping her feel comfortable, she handled her quite roughly. I don't recommend this place. read more

super busy and overwhelming, like an assembly line for kids haircuts. My younger son refused completely, and my older daughter who was not supposed to get a cut stepped in to save face, but we did not want her hair cut! read more

Not too many barbers that specialize in kids haircuts but this one is literally hidden behind See's Candy on Prospect across from Trader Joe's. The family owned barber did exactly what we asked for (Psudo Mohawk) and that was refreshing! Thank you! read more

Good: Great cut. $40 (before tip). No wait. Bad: Not gentle so I don't recommend for first cuts or for children who are scared. Never answers phone. Does not accept card. CASH or VENMO. I've always taken my 3.5 year old 20 mins away to get his hair cut, to a place that's very gentle. And he looks forward to haircuts now. But that place doesn't do his cuts as well and I always walk out not totally satisfied with the style. So I wanted to try this place that's 3 mins away from me. She was fast, yet thorough, and the resulting style is great. Natalie I think is the owner did his cut. When I asked my 3.5 year old if he likes the old place or the new place he said the old place because it doesn't hurt. Natalie is not gentle and she presses the clipper guides through the scalp pretty hard. I could tell he was grimacing during but trying to be patient. She also sprays water all over his head many times. She also didn't clean his face after he was done so he had tons of hair pieces on his neck/ears/face. I would probably come back again just because she did a good job on the style. read more

First I'd like to start with the fact that this place cuts kids hair and once you enter there is a big sign saying that you will be charged extra $5 dollars if your kid complains. People inside weren't wearing mask, the two attendants were, but one of them below the nose. I went there with my 3yo boy and as soon as the lady started to cut his hair she asked if he could take his mask off. I said no because I didn't know if she was vaccinated or not, I tried to ask. I said he would keep his mask on. She made sure she messed with his mask, kept pushing to his eyes. My son was quiet and I still can't forgive myself for Not just had left this place. She gave him a terrible haircut for $30 and they don't accept cards. If this trip wasn't enough she made fun of my son's hair cut once I brought him in. read more

We are here waiting for my sons first haircut, and the maps said they open at 10am and the sign on the door says they open at 930am. it's 1020am right now and they're not open. I don't know if we'll ever come to this establishment again or not. Disappointed read more

Lollipop Cuts - Tuesday at 1025 - Hair Salons Near Me - Saratoga, California

Always a pleasant visit with quality results. Even though I now only have teens, one kid still loves getting his hair cut here.

I have never been to a child salon and really liked the experience. They were very nice and especially to the girls. I have a 9 year old and 8 year old and needed a trim. We stopped by for pizza and seen the salon and decided to give it a try. I'm from Fremont but if the girls need another hair cut I would most definitely come back. It's a cute salon and perfect for children. read more

This place is a joke now!!!! Precovid even after post covid I've taken my kids here to get there cuts. Prices were reasonable especially for kids under 6 and under, 25$ and with tip rounding up35$ at the least!! After my wife told me it was $40 each for my 4 year old and 7 year and a 20 tip for both my jaw dropped! I totally get hard times and inflation but for the %50 +increase is just ridiculous!!!!! Haircuts are not bad but not worth the what there charging now! Supercuts down the street is $22 for kids I suggest you go there. read more

I have been coming here for almost 12 years now in total! I brought my almost 12 year old here for her first haircut and now I bring my 2 little boys here. I love everything about this place. The kids hair cut chairs and the ambiance and etc. They do a great job at cutting my boys hair and are always very patient and friendly. They treat us like family and always remember us when we come in. My boys always remember there names(they are 2 and 4 so that's a big deal). I highly recommend lollipop cuts and will never go anywhere else! read more

Hi parents, PSA: I've been coming to this place for years now, pre-Covid even. Imagine my surprise when I heard Natalie and her pregnant daughter (who was wearing a standard mask) chatting with their friends (adults coming in for a cut) about how they refuse to get vaccinated. This is while my son is getting his hair cut with his mask off and where Natalie is not wearing a mask, but a useless face shield. The women are great, and will respond to your requests. I had just assumed everyone (including the pregnant stylist) would be educated and intelligent enough to be vaccinated. Unfortunately, for the safety of my unvaccinated children, I will not be coming back unless they wear standard masks and can figure out how to cut hair without taking the kids' mask off. read more

This salon used to be our favorite, since my son was little boy we used to come here to cut his hair , But today we get so disappointed .... We show the photo of hairstyle my son want ,and end up with different style, We didn't like it.. and also,owner all the time she's was talking to her assistant on their language, ignoring me standing next to her, She sprayed too much water on my son's head, and he's shirt was soaking wet, all cut hair go inside of shirt and start itching him, she didn't even put the towel around he's neck, or some salon tape protector or something , even though my son is very patient and brave boy, he never cried or complain...but this time my son complaining about the back pain in that chair, and he complain about neck pain,he couldn't tolerate the rough pushing, she was constantly repeating : head up ,chin down, pushing his head and roughly pulling hair, my son felt so uncomfortable and unhappy.... No credit cards , cash or check only and we didn't get receipt .... Definitely not coming back... read more

My 3 kids had their cut here with Natalie and Annie for years and years and they rock! 10/10 they will do a great job!

Lollipop Cuts is conveniently located on Prospect Road near Saratoga Avenue. It is in an L- shaped strip mall fronted by a bright white See's Candy. Parking is a breeze. The shop owner has done a wonderful job of re-vitalizing what was formerly a rather unlovely space. Walls ans floors and the bathroom have been gaily painted and decorated. Chairs for the youngsters are brightly-colored cars. Children enjoy choosing a color. All of them face the television screen which is raised in a corner and tuned into young-kid-friendly shows. The bathroom is outfitted for little ones and has a changing table and wipes. There is a steep set of stairs rising to a balcony play room. It's is loaded with neatly arranged toys. Some of the toys have clearly seen better days and some of the battery operated toys have been neglected and don't work. Nevertheless, the kids have a good time there. Despite the gaiety of the shop, the owner is a no-nonsense and serious beautician. I recommend you request the owner. I admired her for not talking baby talk to my 5-year-old grandson. When he balked at the electric trimmer to finish off his scissor cut, she explained that she needed to use it in order to do a good job and he relented. I was impressed. Be aware that some of the hired help do not understand English, so if you have a special request either book with the owner or stay attentive while the other beautician does her work to be sure your instructions were understood. read more

I had been here twice for my toddlers hair cut. The staffs are really rude here. During my first visit, the staff was impatient, it was my toddlers first haircut and the staff didn't let me comfort him for few secs. My second time experience was bad, it was a different staff and same attitude - RUDE. All I wanted was a simple haircut, she didn't listen to my request, but was kept cutting and adjusting even when I told it's enough and ruined a simple haircut. She was so rude and told I make it hard for her to do her job. For 30$ I expect a good haircut and decent customer service. I could've read all yelp comments before my visit. Not coming back here. read more

Still the best! I always book ahead because the team gets very busy. Love it here and won't go anywhere else.

We called and set an appointment for 45 minutes later. LO is anti-haircuts. He cried during his cut and Annie worked right through it. She did a great job. She's really good with kids and worked to make him more comfortable. My little guy sat in a fire engine chair and the cut lasted about 20 minutes. I could not believe how quickly she was (expertly) chopping his hair. The cut looks great and she taught me how to style it. My only regret was not going in sooner. read more

Terrible haircut by Annie and very rude attitude. Also very rough, not gentle as you would expect for a kid's haircut. Do not recommend.

I'd stay away. The negative comments are consistently accurate for a reason. Rude Staff - The don't listen to your request and seemed rushed. Unprofessional and begin cutting hair without truly understanding what you're looking for. 'Yeah yeah I got it' snip snip away. They speak in their language while you're around which makes you wonder what they're saying. The girl was also very rough with my sons hair, especially as she blow dried it. Highly Overpriced - 30 dollars out the door for a butcher cut. Could be a really cute concept with the decor etc. but the decor won't give my son a quality haircut for $30.00. Find a quality barber that's attentive and gentle. read more

OMG one of the WORST experiences EVER. I wish I could report them to the hair cutting police! my daughter: 3 years old, never had a 'real' haircut. Super curly hair down to her butt, gorgeous but getting unmanageable. we decide it's time for a cut and I look up places for kids to commemorate the experience. oh and we're going to donate her hair to Locks of Love. I've donated my own hair but I still go ahead and review on their website the donation procedures. There is a video explaining the simple process: 1. pull hair into ponytail 2. measure 10 inches from the longest piece (layers are ok) 3. cut above the ponytail when I mention to the woman who I am pretty sure was the owner that we want to donate, she immediately says "we don't do that". I explain that she doesn't have to do anything, just basically cut above the ponytail I'll do the rest. We argue for a few moments back and forth about it. She says the hair isn't long enough, I say it is. Argue again, the next thing I know, I turn to my mother exasperated and as soon as I turn my head the woman had grabbed my daughters hair with one hand and chopped with the other! no ponytail, no measuring, NOTHING, JUST CHOPPED IT OFF!!! the place stood still. I held my breath and didn't want to cause a scene in front of my kids, but my daughter looked in the mirror and liked it, so we all got a grip and didn't bum rush the lady. boy was she lucky. so the end result was it was one of the worst customer service experiences in my life. my daughter ended up with a cute bob, but instead of the 10 inches needed for Locks of Love, she had CHOPPED OFF SIXTEEN! yes, 16 inches that was luckily able to salvage and send off. nightmare experience read more

Anne did a great job cutting my three year-old's hair. It was the first haircut that he didn't start crying during. My child loved sitting in the little red car and watching a show on one of the iPads that are available. It was difficult to pull away from the play area too. It's where we'll go for as long as they accept us. read more

I googled for hair cut places for kids in Santa Clara and stumbled upon the Lollipop Cuts. I took my 20 month old boy for a haircut. The first thing that struck me when I entered was the car-chairs where the kids would sit to get their haircut. The ambience was simply awesome - toys all around, cars, bus, cartoon playing - it is someplace the kids would exactly want to be and providing enough distraction to get the hair cut done. My son usually gets restless after sometime but he didn't this time. And he also got free lollipops which just sealed the deal for him. Just one thing I noticed was that the stylists were not particularly kid 'friendly'. They are fine but they didn't actively interact or engage with him which you would expect in a kids exclusive place like this. Personally that's ok with me, but it did make it lose points on that elated customer experience. PS: I also saw a board that read $5 extra for children who whine. I thought it was out of place. Isn't it expected and inevitable in some cases? Aren't you already charging a premium for the hair cut taking all that into consideration? ($18) Anyways as long as that attitude doesn't reflect on their service I am ok with it. read more

If there was a negative star I would choose that. Sue, was the hair stylist for my kid. I requested her to not be abrasive, give him a little time to tell. She was rude, not considerate. Left hair cut half way. Stay away for her. Guys next door, happy cuts are way better. Cheers read more

My baby girl is 4 1/2 yrs old and today she finally was willing to have her first haircut. We came without making an appointment and luckily we were immediately helped. Cuz right after many customers came with their kids. My baby girl did great. Her hair was almost to her waist so she cut to her shoulder. After cutting her hair her hair was blow dried for her first time. The lady told me they provide a first time haircut certificate and little bag attached to save the hairs for our scrapbook. And they put a free silver star hairclip along with a dash of glitter. I wish we knew about the glitter beforehand cuz if we knew we would have asked for none since its a pain in the butt of get out of the hair. $18 for the haircut. Overall, she loved her hairstyle/haircut. We loved it. We will be coming again. read more

Lollipop Cuts - 5/16/2016 baby girl's 4 1/2 yrs old and had her first haircut...she loves her new haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - Saratoga, California

We've been here at last 5 times, starting when Kiddo was only about 15 months old. The first one, he hated and it was a team effort. The ones after that he tolerated and got GREAT haircuts. I even got my haircut there (I forgot the price, but it was cheap compared to Bay Area prices) after Kiddo because he was happily playing upstairs in their loft (that sounds weird, but it has a stair gate and a whole bunch of toys). My hair turned out fantastic and it saved me from putting it off any longer, as a busy mommy. You don't know a good thing until it's gone! We are in Ely, Cambridgeshire now and they have NOTHING like Lollipop Cuts. I have yet to find any place like them. We will just have to visit home every so often. ;) read more

Bless these ladies for effortlessly and persistently cutting the hair of my two boys for the past 6 years. Without, them, the younger members of our household would be indistinguishable from mops since I know first hand during 2020 how awful I am at cutting hair. They're patient and do a wonderful job each visit. Thank you so much! read more

Annie was absolutely amazing! My son is 2, and really hates his head touched. Being a cosmetologisy I normally cut his hair myself but he just wasn't having it. After a quick Yelp search I found Annie, and was able to make an appointment for the same day. I warned Annie prior to starting that he wasn't going to like this one bit. She reassured me it was totally ok! My son hated every moment of it, and screamed the entire time (which was totally expected) but Annie was great, she kept her cool, and tried to reassure him it would be okay. Even with all his squirming she was able to give him an adorable comb over with line up! Will definitely be coming back to her! read more

My mother in law brings my step son (12) and step daughter (9) to this place to get their haircut regularly and I'm still trying to figure out why! Our son has a very simple boy haircut, shave the sides and trim the top.... well they always without fail give him an awful haircut that he's embarrassed of and we end up correcting at another haircut place. For our daughter.... she has a short bob which they cut okay at best (it's still never even) and her bangs...... they are always so so horrible and uneven it's ridiculous! I had to have my mother fix them before holiday pictures because of how bad they were! They can't even use the excuse that they moved around because they are 9 and 12, they just simply don't know how to cut children's hair! I would never recommend this place to anyone! read more

I'm COMPLETELY unimpressed. I wish I could give negative stars. I've had some very positive experiences there, but not in recent years. My now 4 year old gave herself a haircut when she was 1.5 and they were nice enough to turn it into a modified bowl cut...which was more forgiving than I thought it would be. That was good. When they first opened and had NO business at all, I took my then 1 year old son (now almost 6) for a haircut and they did a great job...even taking digital pics of him and sending them to his daddy at work. I've been there once or twice in the interim and though it was nothing to write home about, the location is good, parking is convenient, and the playroom is really cool. The last time I was there, at the beginning of the summer to get my 4 year old's hair trimmed, I lamented to the stylist that my oldest daughter (10) has a horrible texture to her hair. She said, "grow it out for the rest of the summer, and I'll cut it in layers before the school year starts." We've been waiting all summer for this. I did have an appointment this morning but slept in. We were 40 minutes late. I understand being treated as a walk-in at that point, because I was excessively tardy...but seriously? Having me wait a fucking hour before calling my daughter? Why not just ask me to reschedule at xxx time? If it weren't for the fact that my two younger ones were completely enamored with the loft playroom, I'd have left. When V did finally make her way into the chair, I gave her my instructions, reminding her what she said when we were there last. As she holds a strand of my daughter's hair, she asked with her nose scrunched up, "So... what DID you want me to do with this?" Um.... So she went to work. Disgusted when the comb didn't make its way through my daughter's coarse hair (hey, I warned her!), she reached for a brush. She scrunched her nose again, and asked my daughter, "Did you wash your hair?" I said "YES, she washed her hair." "When was THAT?" "Yesterday." "Hmm. Must have been early yesterday. Hey V, when you wash, you need to RINSE. Rinse REALLY WELL, OKAY?" My daughter's got fucked up hair, she's not deaf, and she's certainly not stupid. And what a way to treat a fucking 10 year old. Bitch should stick with giving bobs to 3 year olds, sprinkling them with glitter, and shoving lollipops into their mouths. What we were left with at the end was: V's hair was one inch shorter. Layers my ass. Her hair looks TERRIBLE. Paying $16 for that haircut was MY fault, but there was no way I was tipping that rude ass. I'm NEVER going back, nor will I EVER recommend anyone to go there. read more

I took my son there today to get a hair cut. I was very pleased by the haircut at first, but when I asked the younger lady to clean up the sideburns, she first said "That how it go to side." I explained to her that his side burns are always neat and straight. She then said it was from the previous hair cut, then started talking in a foreign language to the older lady. The older lady said my son's hair was too course because he is older now. Really lady? He gets his hair cut every two weeks and I never had any problems with the side burns. For $16 + tip, I expect an awesome haircut, not just the experience. The employees were rude and unprofessional. I will not be back again. read more

*VERY* snooty attitude here. I brought my daughter here, numerous times and a very well SHY behaved young lady BTW. The hair stylist was rolling her eyes as my daughter has very fine and thin hair which tangles easily. Even though I brushed it well to begin with. Yes, they have all the cutesy child themes (and even market tons of OVERPRICeD toys/candies that dangle precariously in front of your little one's eyes--careful parents), but for me attitude is everything. You would expect a more warm and kid friendly approach. I have brought my children here numerous times and I didn't get any friendly, kid-friendly, vibes from them. No biggie, however, due to this last visit stylist's attitude I have decided to venture out to a more kid friendly place. read more

And...the quest for the perfect children's hair cut continues. I made an appointment for my toddler daughter at Lollipop Cuts as it was convenient the day I called. Haircut was really good. Not so great an experience. Pros: They knew my daughter's name when I stated I had a hair cut appointment Wait time was reasonable (10 minutes) Was fine with daughter sitting on one of the empty haircut cars while she waited for her appointment Listened to what I told her I wanted in a trim and tried to follow instructions GREAT secure belt to hold daughter in the toy car during haircut Reasonably clean Cons Didn't follow instructions. Specifically asked for feathered hair and the stylist gave her straight bangs instead. Much to her annoyance, I made her do the cut over. Because she tried to fix a cut the repair was crooked and incomplete, with hanging portions of hair not trimmed correctly. Stylist put GLITTER in my daughter's hair and didn't ask me first! Glitter went all over car! Asked stylist for a trim, and she gave her a 20 minute haircut, with my daughter crying the entire time. I would have been fine if I knew I was going to be charged with a haircut, but she NEVER said anything to let me know about the upcharge. Caught stylist trying to give my daughter a lollipop - she never asked me if it was ok (it wasn't) and luckily, it wasn't delivered. Still fuming about the GLITTER, lots of GLITTER in my daughter's hair - are you kidding me that they actually did this? Thanks for being SO INCONSIDERATE - my daughter's scalp and skin reacted to the glitter and she broke out in a rash for the next two days. 5 star haircut MINUS one star - GLITTER IN HAIR MINUS one star - GLITTER in CAR MINUS one star - didn't listen to instructions! Total = 2 stars Won't be returning anytime soon! read more

This experience happened about a year ago. I had been coming here for a long time and today they tried to give me a new person. They said she was good so I thought, "why not." As the lady was cutting, the owner was next to her cutting others' hair. She was giving her pointers (in another language) and trying to correct her work. This lady I can tell is very new and unsure of herself. She ends up spending an hour on a 7 year old's head! Seriously most 7 year olds can't sit that long. Secondly they tried to give my younger child to a new person. I asked for the two regular cutters but they kept resisting. When I said I had an appointment that didn't seem to make a difference. In the end the new person spent a super long time with a 7 yr old and my 7 yr old started crying. The owner had to finish/ correct her work herself which made it even longer. It was a terrible experience all around. They also raised their prices too. I recently called (Nov 2018) and a haircut for a 5 year old is now $27-32. What the heck? They think we're made of gold around here. Ridiculous. read more

Wow, do I have a interesting comment.... I recently moved to Saratoga from Woodland Hills, Ca. and needed to find a new kids salon for my family. I used to take my kids to Okie Dokie Kids Salon which is a fantastic place. I went to a nearby place called Lollipop Cuts, but we found the service to be poor and the place a little dirty for our standards. Anyway, here is the interesting part...I looked on the net for other alternatives and found lollipopcuts.com again. However, I couldn't believe my eyes, Lollipop Cuts literally stole the photo gallery pictures from the Okie Dokie Kids Salon web site and passed them as their own! Even the listed services and products were plagiarized. What a small world we live in. Lollipop Cuts recently put an under construction page on there web site, but you can still see the cache links on google or yahoo and see where there totally took things from www.okiedokie.tv. I'm glad yelp is here to provide community feedback, I will never go back to the Lollipop salon again. Not only was the service poor, but their business practices are highly questionable. read more
