First haircut was with Olga when my son turned 1. Easy breezy and he was happy with Ms Rachel on tv. I came a second time with Jennifer since my besf recommended her but I feel like my son did better with Olga. Jennifer was accommodating and had me sit with my son because he was terrified but she didn't talk to him and try to ease his crying. I feel like Olga was more tender and affectionate and my son needs that during the cut. I think it's just different personalities and that's fine, but I was also overwhelmed as he was yelling and the whole experience was chaotic. It's just finding the stylist that fits your child's needs. Anyway we're happy lol

What happened is I had called for an appointment for 3 children. I let them know twice on the phone it was 3 children and they gave me 4pm (mind you they close at 5pm). I said okay. I figured they wanted to make money since I would be paying $90 for all 3 haircuts before tip. In retrospect, if there was a language barrier or misunderstanding they should have spoke to me in Spanish which I do speak as well, their English isn't good. Keep that in mind when trying to communicate with them. When I got there the lady with short dark hair was busy, so they passed my precious 3 year old boy with shoulder length hair to the man that works there. My 3 year old has been there twice before and sits still and is well mannered. He cut my child's hair so poorly and left scissor marks and when we got outside there was a cut on his skin by his side burns. Mom's let me tell you I was upset! No one cuts my kid. This just the tip of the iceberg, midway through my 1st child's haircut my 2nd child had his haircut by the lady it was fast and they were done before my 3year olds haircut bc the man clearly didn't know how cut hair Finally, the two were done and I pointed out the marks on my toddlers hair. The lady just walked away didn't care and started calling for this adult man in line that it was his turn to get his hair cut. I said what about my daughter? She THREW HER ARMS IN THE AIR ROLLED HER EYES AND SAID "oh my god another one?!" I said yes when I called I booked an appointment for 3 children. Reader, she had the audacity to yell back "I understand!" Clearly she didn't. I said "Nevermind we're leaving" And when I said leaving I meant for good. I will NEVER go back there. Absolutely horrible experience. My daughter was sad she didn't get her haircut so I made it up to her and took her to Great Clips in Whittier (Araceli helped us, she was super nice) *************** 7/22 Since I can't reply to the owners response. I'll just edit my review as they respond. I called to reschedule or cancel my appointment for another day because I wouldn't be able to make it at 3:30pm. They greedily said no they would be able to accommodate me and take me in at 4pm. I didn't push it, they insisted. I let them know I had 3 kids. So tell me Ms. Clara since you're saying each child take 30 minutes and you are saying you close at 5pm. Why did you insist on me coming in and then angrily complain when you had clients to service? Also, why are you saying I should have spoke Spanish if you're insisting you don't have any troubles speaking and communicating with clients in English? Hmm seems to me there's a lot of contradictory statements in your rebuttal. Now let's address, the want to fix it part. While they were cutting his hair they said they could keep cutting it to "fix" it. Absolutely not, as they already cut my babies hair too short to begin with and cut my baby's skin. What else could have been done to fix this hair cut? Balding him? Pass. I had to get him out of that situation. The man who was cutting his hair the whole time was asking the owner for help because he had no clue how to cut hair. This is who you hire to cut children's hair? Really? I should have checked that man's barber/cosmetology license.

Located in the same…read moreplaza as Stater Bros, Hair by Kay is a woman-owned shop where the owner and stylists really do take the time and care for the patrons. I called day of (Friday) to schedule an appointment, and they were still able to accommodate me to come in that day. I was looking to do a basic blowout with curls. Because the stylists were all occupied with other patrons, I did have to wait a bit before getting the wash and conditioning, but that was not an issue because they were consistently acknowledging my presence and said they'll be with me shortly. After the wash, the stylist sectioned off my hair to blow-dry, and once that was done, she curled my hair. Because my hair is relatively straight, the stylist made sure that the curls stay intact by continuously hair spraying them down before I left the shop. Thanks to Hair by Kay, my curls did last for my function, and I was very satisfied!

I visited pelitos hair salon today because their posted business hours state they are open until 7:00 PM. However, when I arrived at 6:13 PM, the door was locked, and there was no sign or indication explaining why they had closed early. This was very inconvenient as I had planned my visit based on their listed hours. It would be helpful if the shop updated their hours online or posted a notice on the door to avoid confusion in the future. Overall, I'm disappointed with the experience but hope they improve their communication in the future. read more

I also liked their March Madness promotion, which was a nice bonus. That said, while the haircut itself is still very quick, I've noticed that it sometimes feels a little too rushed, even when it's not busy. The stylist seemed to be in a hurry and unfortunately, I was left with leftover hair on my forehead, neck, the back of my head and some areas weren't shaved cleanly after the cut. It was uncomfortable walking out like that, and I'm not sure if they expect customers to pay extra just to get brushed off properly, which feels odd. I like the convenience, but a bit more attention to detail and customer care would make a big difference. The person name (Patricia, if I am not mistaken, her spot is right behind the counter), who does a great job from my last visit, wasn't there when I arrived, so I was helped by someone else.
