I can't say enough great things about this children's hair salon, especially about Sonia! She is incredibly patient, gentle, and talented. From the moment we walked in, she made my son feel completely comfortable and excited for their haircut. Sonia knows exactly how to talk to kids, keep them calm, and make the whole experience fun. The salon is bright, clean, and totally kid-friendly, but it's Sonia's kindness and skill that truly make it exceptional. My child left with a perfect haircut and a huge smile. read more

We love Sonia! She is efficient, and really takes her time... she is a perfectionist but does it in a way suitable for young children!

Everyone who works here is super kind and warm, and they're great with kids (including ones that struggle with haircuts). The price is super fair, and there are toys, books, and tvs for distraction. We always go here for our kids' haircuts. read more

I was able to make a same-day toddler haircut appointment. Girls' haircuts are currently $28 "plus." I'm not sure what would make the cost over 28. I don't envy the hairstylist's job. I did have some trouble hearing her, but overall the cut was fine. My daughter's bangs are a little uneven but not offensively so. I was a little surprised by how much work I had to do to calm down my daughter, who has had other haircuts in the past. I guess I expected the hairstylist to help me a little more in making it fun or distracting her. I'm sure I'll be back, but I'll probably rely on some home haircuts in between. read more

11/17/23 Got my son's hair cut here yesterday by Sophia. It was his first haircut- he wiggled/ hollered a couple of times but quickly calmed and sat still with watching the tv and my husband or I at his side/ holding on to him in the car. When another family came in about half way through he was done fussing and they repeatedly remarked how calm he was and how well he was doing. I "get" that kids can be wiggly and difficult to give a cut to, but that really was not the case with him.  In the moment, I was impressed with the ratings on Google and FB and the recent repeat "Best of" Award so I went in trusting he was in good hands. I appreciated how quickly and confidently Sophia worked with him but after washing the gel out of his hair last night and seeing it dry today, woah! It's actually inexplicably bad. We asked for his hair to be cut like my husband's, who was physically right there. She confirmed we wanted the back/sides tight and the top long. A small trim would be good but mostly keep the length to brush to the side. Physical example and verbal confirmation, simple enough. 1- We noticed after leaving she only cleaned up the one patch of peach fuzz that we pointed out, on his neck behind his ear-ish, but not the other. Though she cleaned all around the hairline, she just left that patch for some reason.  Hmmm, ok, not the end of the world and we have the means to clean that at home, but for a $28+ tip cut, should we have to.... 2- Today I see his fringe/bangs are extremely choppy and not in a straight line. The hair on his right is barely pinch-able and the corresponding hair on his left is incheS long. There is no rhyme or reason, just about an inch-wide strip along the left side of his head is long and the rest is... not. 3- There are chunks just.... missing in the shorter top hair too. Impossible for me to get a snap of but noticable in person. Honestly just the more I look the worse it gets. 4- Before making the first snip up top she did confirm between her fingers she was cutting the right amount. It just kept getting shorter and shorter though...  This last point is less of an issue for me and was no issue at all at the moment because, though it wasn't what I'd wanted, *if it were even* it'd grow in fine and I could maintain the sides myself. Unfortunately.... I now have to figure this whole thing out myself as I do not have the money to risk his hair "professionally" again and I do not live in the area to go right back to them.... Not that that's a very comfortable option anyway. In short... I do not understand how they are the "Best of Westchester" and have such high reviews if this is what we left with. If I could get back there I'd request a refund. It's just hair and will grow back, I'm not devastated here.... I'm just bummed that we paid over $30 for a service that was performed so poorly. I 100% could have messed up his hair *for free* I hope this can save someone else the trouble. read more

Magic Cuts For Kids - Anna cutting my 5 year old's hair early on a Sunday. Sonia and Anna are the best!! - Barbers Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

I was so disappointed to wait nearly an hour for a haircut for a six year old that took about 10 minutes. (We had an appointment and arrived on time.) what made it even worse was that there was no apology from the man at the desk, and just blamed it on a backed up schedule. A quick phone call that let us know they were running so late would have been helpful. The haircut was fine, hairdresser was sweet, but we will not be going back. read more

Being a realistic parent here, the cut never comes out the same but that's because my child HATES the sensation of cutting his hair and sometimes won't stay still. These ladies try there best and they do a good job at doing what they do especially working with kiddos. I speak for myself where I have attempted cutting my sons hair at home to save a few bucks but it's not worth the fight I get so I come here :). I personally think it's a bit expensive but you always find parking and the booking is pretty easy and almost always at the time you want it! read more

I took my son here for his 1st haircut, I had no idea how he was going to react but he behaved so well. He sat still the entire time and didn't even cry, I was honestly so shocked.. The lady who cut his hair was really friendly and worked really quickly. read more

Magic Cuts For Kids - Excellent haircuts. Beautiful braids by Sonia! - Barbers Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

I had a couple of bad experiences with this place. The customer service needs to improve. Also, one of the hairstylists is very aggressive when giving a haircut. To the point that she cut up my son's forehead. She didn't apologize and instead blamed my son for moving. I won't be returning here. read more

While I hate to write this review as I've been a loyal customer for 8 years, I wouldn't want other people experiencing unfair treatment. I had an 11:45 appointment for my son. When I walked in I checked in with the lady at the front. All three chairs were occupied and I was the only one waiting. After 10 minutes there was about 5 other kids that were waiting for a haircut that arrived after me. When one of the chairs were free the receptionist called a child that arrived after me. When I inquired about me being next she said "you didn't specify who you wanted to cut his hair". I told her I've never had to specify. She proceeded to tell me that's how it works now. I said ok, I will wait for Sonia. After waiting another 10 minutes for Sonia, they took another child that arrived after me. When I inquired yet again, she told me oh she was waiting for Sonia too, when I told her she came after me she didn't bother to care. Never was I asked who I wanted to cut my sons when I made the appointment or when I checked in. I will be taking my business elsewhere where they treat people fairly and I advise people to do the same! read more

They did a great job, and have plenty of entertainment for the kids while you wait and get the haircut. A bit pricey but they deserve it for putting up with all those kids all day. They are super close to our house, so we'll definitely be back. read more

So good! We've been taking our five-year-old here since her first haircut around age 2, and it's always been a pleasant experience. The same lady has always cut her hair, and she's adept at putting kids at ease. She's also FAST, which keeps the kids from getting too squirmy. And our kid always comes out looking good. As our kid has gotten older (and has gotten longer hair), they've started doing fancy braiding at the end, which leaves our daughter feeling like a princess. This is the only place where we've taken our older daughter for cuts, and now that the younger one is getting older, we'll start taking her here too! read more

Brought my toddler here for a first real official haircut. Being a COVID-kid, I was very worried how my child would react being in a public place, with strangers, and getting a hair cut for the first time. The experience was fantastic! The women at this place are miracle workers. My daughter was definitely timid at first but the second she sat down she was memorized by everything going on (tv, toys, the cool car she got to sit in). I was also thoroughly impressed how when they needed her to look down to cut her hair in the back, they gave her a tablet toy to keep her focused looking down. I will definitely go back! There is no way we would have had this kind of success at a regular hair salon. As for COVID, I felt very safe there. Every one was in masks. Temp checks upon entry and cleaning of stations between customers. Appointment is required to control the amount of people in there at once. read more

Love this place! Sonia does a great job cutting my son's hair. Tried a few places before this but they never seemed to get it right. Magic Cuts has now been out go to place for my son's last 12 haircuts and about to get number 13. read more

We love coming here for toddler haircuts. My 2 year old always chooses the blue car, blue lollipop, and a blue balloon. Her hair always looks adorable and she gets cute little butterfly clips in it too. You get a punch card so the 10th haircut is free. Park on the street out front and you won't have an issue. read more

My daughter had her first cut here and they were amazing!! Very sweet, caring and punctual! Highly recommend :)

This was an absolutely abysmal experience. We scheduled an 8:45 appointment. When we arrived, we were told "a few minutes" but the place was packed and they clearly triple booked appointments. Kids were impatient and screaming. Everyone was frustrated and confused. They were carelessly rushing the haircuts and after 30 minutes, we left and will never return. Save your time and take your business elsewhere. read more

Came here for my daughter's first haircut. I was expecting tears and a toddler freak out but it was such an easy experience. Daughter had a blast and we were done in no time. Thank you!!! read more

I love place. The stylists are so patient and sweet. When I took my two year old for her first haircut here, they were so understanding. They let her wander around and get comfortable. They didn't rush her and ended up cutting her hair wherever she felt the most comfortable. This ended up being on the floor by the waiting benches and also in the car they retrofitted for a barber chair. The stylist ended up cutting my daughters hair upside down and standing on a bench. That is amazing to me. My daughters haircut came out super super cute and now she loves going here. She patiently waits her turn and sits like a little angel every time now. read more

I was looking for a place for my son who is 1 1/2. It was his first haircut so was searching for a place that would make him at ease. This was the perfect place. Thee staff made my son feel comfortable as his hair was being cut. It was done nice and fast and no tears only at the end when she had to blow the hair off his face. The sound scared him. Other than that we were all very happy and satisfied. We will return. Highly recommended. read more

I take my toddler here for monthly haircuts--the whole team is amazing! My little one loves being there and they are very careful and safe during COVID, following all safety protocol. read more

The only place to get haircuts for your kids. Sonia is amazing. My only complaint is they are always very busy and sometimes they don't do a good job of honoring their appointment times resulting in a long wait even if you have an appointment, which is a bummer. read more

Sonia was AMAZINGGGG !! We went for my sons first haircut, I was a bit nervous because I really did not want to cut his hair but he really needed a good trim. Sonia was so patient with him, made him feel comfortable and took no more than 10 mins to cut his hair ! ( he was hysterical crying LOL) Came out exactly how I wanted it !!! not too short. What I loved was that it did not even bother her ( the crying ) she just kept trying to sooth him and kept cutting away. It was overall a great experience and I will def be going back for his future haircuts. I have read some reviews regarding the price, It is worth every penny. He received a balloon, a certificate and she even put his hair in a little zip lock for me to keep. read more

This place was a Godsend. My son is 4 years old and has cried for every haircut he has ever had. We decided to try this location for the good reviews and they did not disappoint. Staff is pactient and friendly. Sonia cut his hair, not one tear was shed. This was his and my first stress free hair cutting experience. I will be back. read more

This place is way overpriced just because they placed two power wheels on top of a barbers chair. Sonia is nice, but the guy behind the register needs an attitude adjustment, must be the owners son, cause he does nothing and has an attitude with clients. He will just text all day long. Don't bother making an appointment, cause you will still wait over an hour past your appointment time and get ripped of with an attitude. read more

Sonja did an awesome job with our 2 y/o's hair. The boy did not cry at all which was leaps and bounds better than his first haircut done elsewhere. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Love this place, I been taking my nephew and he loves it. The owner is super nice and kids seem to love her.

While they are not giving the kids the bast haircuts ever they do provide a fast haircut to make the experience less traumatizing for the kids. The staff is super friendly and the shop is very kid friendly with lots of stuff to keep your little one occupied. read more

This place is amazing. My son and daughter always get great haircuts and Sonya is so good with keeping little kids calm.

We brought our boy here every few weeks for several years until we moved. Sonia and her staff were always so friendly and cheerful. Great with kids. That, along with the kid-friendly vibe they have - TVs, video games, toys, balloons, etc. always made for a pleasant experience for Danny. Sonia treated us like family, and she's also good at what she does - always did a great job with his hair. We miss coming here, but would definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

I feel like I have tried every option for haircuts in the lower Westchester area and this one is my favorite so far! (And I have been to a bunch of the other "kids cut" places locally). They did a great job with my 4yr old who is terrified of clippers (see my other barber shop review for a description of that calamity) and my completely uncooperative 2 yr old. They have a ton of toys, a bunch of TVs with pretty much any dvd/show you could want, and they give lollipops and balloons at the end. Oh, and the haircuts were great too--super cute:) We had Raquel (sp?) who was so patient and kind. She put great care into giving them a perfect cut. Both kids left reluctantly, and both asked to go back soon. Given that I normally wait until they are wooly mammoths to avoid the hair dresser, this is a huge parenting win!!! Strongly recommend. read more
