This place doesn't deserve any stars. My husband made an appointment online through their website for my son who just turned 1 for his first haircut. We showed up 10 mins early and there were still 2 kids ahead of us. One in the chair and one other waiting. So she was behind schedule. I told the lady my husband wanted my son's hair to be faded on the side but don't cut the top. I even showed her a picture. She replied with "yeah, yeah he want a boys haircut." She absolutely did not listen. The sides were sloppy, uneven and patchy. My mother in law even pointed it out to her and she never fix it. She also cut the top of my son's hair even though I explained to her I did not want the top to be touched. By the time I noticed, it was too late she was in the middle of cutting the top of his hair. Now, I understand if my son was a wiggle worm and cried throughout the whole process but he was the complete opposite. He sat still the entire. Didn't cry once. By the time it was our turn, we were the only customer there. She had the time to fix her mistakes. She chose not to. I was so unhappy with the whole experience but i still paid $30 which came with a picture and a small bag of his hair. read more

We took my son who was 13 months at the time to get his hair trimmed, he was super fidgety and tired. Yet they did a great job making sure to be as even as possible and not over stimulating him to get more upset. I really recommend this shop, they have specials seats for you g toddlers and they get a little prize for after if you ask. Everyone here is super sweet and helpful. read more

Traci does a great job with my son every time! He looks so handsome and she is great with kids. It's easy, and cheap, and right next to Tutti melon, so that's a bonus! Highly recommend!! read more

I am grateful to SNIPZ in Novato. I have been taking my daughter there for a few years and now I get my hair trimmed there as well. The staff is always friendly, kind and accommodating. Prices are great. I would definitely recommend SNIPZ in Novato. read more

My son got a terrific cut from Tracy yesterday. She knew just how to cut his thick forward growing hair so it swoops nicely to the side and the cowlick doesn't pop up. She took my notes perfectly that it was picture day the next day and I didn't want it too short. She was also fast and hilarious, too! For the record, we have had lots of great cuts from Devone too!! read more

We were impressed from moment one... professional, patient, and my daughter didn't cry. An A+ in my book! We drive from Sonoma just to go to this Snipz- we'll worth it! read more

Kid Friendly Awesome Staff Expert Haircuts Affordable My boys have been getting their haircuts at Snipz since they were babies. They are now 13 and 11 years old. I absolutely love this place! When we walk in the Snipz staff knows my boys names and always cut my boys hair to perfection. The salon is emaculate and clean. They have Covid precautions in place. I had a crazy day and needed to bring the kids in an hour early. I called and asked if they could bump up their appointment time and they made it happen. Grateful! They always provide exceptional customer service and great haircuts. Thank you for civiizing my boys! read more

Wonderful hair salon that caters to children. Ann Marie has cut my daughter's hair twice now and she does an amazing job.She is also so kind to my little one and makes sure she is very comfortable throughout the hair cut. Easy online appointments and in a great location as it is close to Target and Costco and various other stores when you are out and about running your errands. I highly recommend! read more

Honestly I did not want to write a review, but something busy be said. I had done a consultation with Mary Ann and during the consultation, I showed her pictures of my daughters hair and I explained to her that I keep my daughter's hair braided. I asked for a simple cut of 2 inches minimum. When she first began to cut her hair, Mary Ann showed me the length of hair that she wanted to cut off of my daughters hair, I agreed as she only showed me that it was 2 inches that she was going to cut off her original length. after speaking to the owner of the salon, I was told that I was going to receive a full refund which I have not received. Overall, I am unhappy with the quality of service that I received and if your child has any textured hair, I would not let them go here. Mary Ann explain to me that she had over 20 years of experience cutting hair while she cut my daughter's hair, It seems like she let the scissors take control of the haircut. DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN TO THE SALON. read more

No complaints! My son had his first cut here when he was 11 months old. We've gone to other barbers and he did terrible. He's more relaxed here since they're toys to play with, iPads to play on during his cut, and lollipops. Plus, the stylists are very friendly! We come all the way from Vallejo and it's worth the long drive! read more

Tracey and Anne Marie were great. Both of my daughters left with stylish new hair cuts complete with bling strings. One of the bling strings fell out and they happily put it back in free of charge. Online booking is very easy and convenient. read more

First impression was that the girls working there don't have the personality to work with kids. They weren't very warm and welcoming. Felt as though they just wanted to get it out of the way. Still i stayed in hopes of finding THE place that could actually cut my sons hair really well. My two boys have very different hair textures. My older boy has thick, abundant hair with a mind of its own. In hopes that the stylist knew what to do with it more than I do, I explained what I wanted. When she was done, and got home, I realized she did a terrible job blending the sides, the front looks like bad bangs and should've been more textured. Totally not worth the $25 I paid. The little ones doesn't look as bad because he has curly hair so luckily can't tell. Never again for us !!! Thanks but I think Great Clips does a better job. read more

I took my 15 mo. old son here for a little trim. His hair was previously cut in the bathroom with my husband's clippers so it was growing in all crazy. Imagine that! We made an appointment online and we made it in right on time. They got my son set up with an ipad and used scissors and a couple of snips with the clippers to get it all cleaned up. They were friendly, moved quickly, and made sure I felt comfortable with the style before saying goodbye. We had a great experience, and will most likely be back for the next one! Thank you! read more

Cut my hair too short. I have to wear a hat all day and am embarrassed to take it off.

My ten year old found a cut in Seventeen magazine that she had to have. I told her that the cut we got wasn't going to look exactly like the magazine photo, but we bought it in to Rosa at Snipz anyway. Still can not believe the amazing hair cut my daughter got! it's shape, it's movement! Ok, I'll admit it, I'm a little jealous!! :) Thank you, Rosa! read more

I just want to say that Tracey is hands down the best! She is so patient and kind. She is a beyond talented hair stylist. Not to mention that my four year old son adores her. If we are in the shopping center he asks if he can go in and see Tracey to get a haircut. If that doesn't septal volumes, what does?! We've been going since my son is one, and I wouldn't trust anyone else. I must say that every time we go in all the staff is so friendly and welcoming. They have child comfortable chairs as well as iPads loaded with games and shows to keep the children entertained. And the best part?!? The children get a price after they've had their hair cut. Thank you Snipz for making what could be a difficult experience so painless and easy. We are so grateful to have you in Novato. read more

Ok i came back with my older daughter for a quick trim ( thanks to all the chlorine ) and decided she should get the " works" ... Wow! My daughter looks more relaxed than i do when i get my hair done ! She looks so happy! And she just loved the ipad and of course the feather. My daughter just loved rosa. I posted some pictures because my baby girl looks so happy !!! 2 great experiences and im seriously contemplating getting my hair done here . Im just waiting for my son to grow hair faster and we will be back read more

Updated to reflect the second hair cut and prior to the third experience where Inhope things are better - they set the bar high the first time so we shall see! We had a bad cut pre Thanksgiving For my little one. I am understanding as the first one was phenomenal, we went on a really busy day and they got us in last minute and we cut corners and did not do the proper treatments as we should have for a little one who has long gaps between cuts and hair that gets very dry and brittle. However, although I love consistency, children change, as parents we push to get things done last minute trying to keep up with schedules and we can't expect perfection every time and we must remember to show our children how to handle a situation in business where we feel things weren't handled correctly and how to address and resolve the situation head on instead of walking away and closing a door over a single bad experience. Headed back today or early next week to prep for a season full of sun and chlorine that will without a doubt leave already easily tangled locks more prone to tricky messes and frustration with those knots! Also hoping to get a product recommendation while I am there. read more

They always give a great haircut and are thoughtful about it. Pleasant and a decent price. read more

This place was an amazing find! My son desperately needed to be shorn and we had some time to kill so we came here as walk-ins. Had to wait about 1/2 hour for the next open slot which we happily did next door at Starbucks. The stylist was Colleen and from the moment he sat his butt in the chair I knew we came to the right place. She went out of her way to make him comfy and settled (ok, he's 8, not a toddler) and made sure to get both his opinion and mine about where to start taming the mane. I have noticed with his recents cuts that the back always comes out uneven, never realizing that he's actually got a BALD SPOT at the nape of neck until Colleen pointed it out. She said that if she cut it even with scissors, the hair would lay in such a way that made it look very uneven. A thorough explanation convinced me that going with "business trim"at the nape using the clippers would straighten it out (as opposed to "business in front, party in the back??? HEAVENS!). Also, she clued in right away that his thick hair would benefit from some strategic thinning and would allow it to grow back evenly and nicely. This was what sold me on this place--I cannot tell you how many times we've had his hair cut only to see it get shaggy after 2 weeks. We are about a month into this cut and it's still lookin' great. We'll definitely be back and asking for Colleen! read more

I've taken both my 6 year old boy and my 3 year old girl to SNipz and I have to warn parents that the experience is hit or miss. It truly just depends on the stylist you get. My boy had his worst haircut ever here. He enjoyed the iPad and the toy after the cut, but he looked terrible for 2 months until it grew out enough to take him else where. During that same appointment my little girl got her first haircut from another stylist. That went smoothly, and she even left the salon with a braid with pink glitter. I took her there and she got another good cut by Devone. But yesterday we met Carolyn. She has terrible bedside manners. She was rough on my girls hair, made her cry immediately. She wouldn't stop cutting as I tried to calm my daughter. My girl now has completely unevenly cut hair. And also much shorter than what I expected. I will never go back to Carolyn and warn all parents to avoid booking her. I do honestly think the employees here are overbooked and don't have the patience or skills to deal with the needs and moods of children. I'm adding a photo of my daughter's hair before and after the haircut so you can see I'm not exaggerating when I describe the uneven result in my daughter's beautiful hair. read more

You guys are wonderful. You made haircuts for my daughters the most fun experience ever! Thank you Carolyn and Tracy!!!

Carolyn has consistently given my son the best haircuts that flatter his face and grow out smoothly. She's fast, friendly and considerate of children's' needs. And responsive and helpful! We really appreciate Snipz; my daughter's hair is also well styled! read more

Walked in today and they said they were booked and had no openings the rest of the day. I tried making an appointment for next weekend right then and there but they were too busy to accommodate this so I told them I would book online and left. When I went to book online less than 5 mins later for an appointment for next weekend I found that they had several openings for this afternoon. Ended up taking my daughter to Supercuts two doors down, it was cheaper, the stylist (though also busy) was super friendly and my daughter's hair looks awesome. read more

Carolyn did my son's first haircut, and even though he was fussy and afraid of the clippers, she was a total professional and finished his haircut in about ten minutes. He looks great! Would absolutely return. read more

Tracy is the best!! She's been cutting my sons(6) hair for 5 years! Always an adorable cut! He adores her! She makes it fun! Everyone working at Snipz is so friendly. He can't wait to go for his cuts! read more

So happy with this place. Thank goodness they are so so so patient because my son is crying and screaming the entire time! But, they will remain very calm and collected! The price is affordable and it is great that they have an understanding of a kid that is not so keen on haircuts for the time being. They also have toys, tablets, and other things to distract the kids which really helped. read more

We have taken our toddler for all of his haircuts here. They always do a fabulous job!

Very efficient. They are taking COVID seriously by limiting people in the shop. Great haircuts, my kids are always pleased - as are we.

Every time I think about our experience at this place, I feel disappointed. Here was our experience: They changed our appointment time. When we arrived, they had scheduled my two kids in appointments that were later than we'd planned, and back to back. This is challenging for parents, y'all. By the time they cut the kids hair, we'd been in the salon for an hour, and the kids were over it. The stylist didn't seem to know how to communicate with kids. She washed my daughter's hair and couldn't seem to get out all of the soap, which was frustrating for my 3-year-old. I think she was stressed out because the other stylist was sick, and she was on her own, but I feel like this should be something the owners could work out. I didn't really appreciate or like that they had iPads as distraction, especially since they didn't ask me if my kids could use the iPad. I wish I would have known that they have iPads, because we try to limit the amount of screen time the kids watch. Expensive! For two kids, we paid around $60. This is too much money for a kids haircut, especially for a mediocre experience. Plus, the style was pretty meh. I wanted to like this place. But I think we'll stick with other options. read more

My son got a fantastic hair cut this morning from Tracy - I highly recommend! They are super great regarding Covid protocols too!

My daughter loves this place and seeing as she's only had a handful of haircuts that's a compliment! She had both Colleen and Devon cut her hair and they both were excellent- friendly, professional, and gave great cuts! Thanks!! read more

We have two boys (5 and 2) who can be... difficult... during cuts. The stylists they had, Tracy and Carolyn, were wonderful! They worked their magic quickly enough to give a great cut without the boys losing their patience. Worth the price! The boys look cute, are happy and so am I! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would I have been somewhat happy with this place for very simple trims but today they lost a customer. My wife went in and saw Tracy and she asked to just get a little tiny bit cut off of my sons hair and she cut over 4 or 5 inches off. As my wife pleaded with her to slow down on the cutting and told her she wanted it to stay long Tracy just kept talking the whole time and not listening to what my wife was asking her to do. I have never wrote a yelp review in my life but this got me so upset that I will be letting everyone know how bad her service was. read more

My son just had his first haircut today with Devone and she did such a great job!! She was patient, kind, and totally took it in strides with however my son was feeling. No tears or screaming at all, we will definitely be seeing her again for all future haircuts. Pricing was reasonable too, well worth! read more

Kendra does an amazing job. She is so kind and sweet. Will be going back to see her again.
