We love the ladies at Great Bear Cut. We need to come more often so my kiddo gets used to getting his haircut. They made it seem so easy, versus me giving my child a bowl cut (using literally a bowl lol). Their salon is very clean and designed very cutely. They provide seat belts on their high chairs and tablets for the kids to watch videos and get distracted. They also give away a lollipop and a toy at the end of the visit. i'm glad they were able to accommodate us as a walk-in, but I do miss the ability of calling their salon personally, vs the super automated scheduling service. I signed up to be waitlisted but decided to just pop in the salon to check since I was already in the area. read more

Fiona cut my daughter's hair today, and it came out so great! We loved the hair glitter and butterfly clips at the end. In my daughter's words, "I was so distracted playing on the tablet that I forgot I was getting my hair cut." The salon itself is super cute and welcoming. It was really easy to make an appointment online. We'll be back for sure. read more

I've been meaning to try this place. The name changed, but that's all. Same people. Nice people. Stylist was helpful following directions and suggesting his to cut my son's hair. You might be able to find a quiet time before the school rush. read more

Our usual place was fully booked for the holidays, and we needed a last minute haircut for our 2 y.o before a vacation, which is why we booked here. We had a great experience with another stylist in the past, which is why we decided to return. However, this visit did not meet our expectations. The haircut itself was okay, but the appointment felt rushed and only took about 10 mins. It seemed like the stylist was focused on moving quickly to the next client since she was fully booked for the day. I asked for the bottom to be shorter and lightly lined up to match the V shape of his fohawk, but she declined, saying she only does that for a child's 5th haircut or later. This was his 4th, and we had it done elsewhere without issue. I understand that toddlers do not always sit still and that results may not be perfect, but I wish that had been explained and left up to me as the parent instead of dismissed. At $35 plus a generous tip, I expected more time, care, and communication. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. read more

I made an appointment online for my 7-month-old to get her ears pierced. Toni was so patient with my baby. They provide after care and gave a small bath toy too. They have a small selection of earrings to choose from. I got small diamond gold plated ones. Appointments are highly recommended. Thank you! read more

Same great team, same location, new name! Our first visit as Great Bear Cut went smoothly. We saw Toni (SO thankful she is still there) and she worked her magic per usual. The decor has changed a little bit, but still felt familiar, and we will continue to come here for our kids' cuts! read more

The Great Bear Cut - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

This used to be Snip-Its, and nothing has changed except the name and the interior, it's still the same great place with wonderful stylists. Originally we found this place while I was getting donuts one morning at BC's, and I saw a mom and her son going in while I was coming out. I thought, let's give it a shot, can't be worse than the haircuts I've been attempting. And they do an excellent job, we've been getting our son's haircut here since he was three. We let his hair get a bit shaggy because we like the look of the length on him, but they keep the look and just tidy everything all up in such a great way. The stylists always listen and gave us the exact haircut we're looking for. This is now our little guy's regular spot, and sometimes we even get to snag a donut as a reward afterwards. read more

Love bring my son here. Been coming to see Toni for a few years to get my son's hair cut she takes her time and is very patient especially with my son having autism I appreciate her and the staff their. read more

I really liked the haircut they gave my little one but the staff was very inattentive.

Super stylish cuts - my kid's undercut looks so sharp- and a gentle touch, so even kids with sensory sensitivities are treated patiently and with respect. read more

The Great Bear Cut is such a fantastic spot for my daughter. I don't write a review these days, but I need to share the experience! She loved it the moment we walked in -- "Bears, mama! A mama bear, daddy bear, and a baby!!" It's incredible how this place managed to keep her happily seated throughout the entire haircut. I wish there were more kid-friendly salons like this closer to our home. Highly recommend! read more

Karen has been cutting my son's hair for almost 9 months now, and every single cut has been perfect. She's incredibly friendly, patient, and amazing with kids, which makes the whole experience so easy and stress-free. She really knows how to make children feel comfortable while delivering consistently great results. I wouldn't trust my son's hair with anyone else -- highly recommend Karen to any parent looking for a skilled, kind, and reliable stylist. read more

This is the same shop as Snip-Its, just rebranded. Our son's stylist, Toni, is great and we're so happy many if not all (I don't know everyone) of them are still there so don't worry if you have a favorite and you were worried like us for hot minute :) Toni does a great job cutting our sons hair (thin and straight) with scissors, which is our preference and it grows out very nicely for two months before we need to return. Easy booking and good price, definitely recommend! read more

Snip Its is now called "The Great Bear Cut". Same location and staff! Love coming here!

The best haircut our toddler has ever had! We came from Larchmont all the way to Pasadena and will be back!

I have been taking my kids to Toni for about four years and she is hands down the best. She is very calm and patient with the kids. I have one that screams and yells the other one just sits there and she does awesome with both of them. read more

This place was wonderful! Toni was so kind and I loved that she gave honest input when I asked about what hairstyle would look best for my son. Considering I didn't want to cut his hair at all...I will admit that when she finished, he was absolutely adorable and the cut was just perfect! I will definitely be returning! read more

I'm glad to find out that The Great Bear Cut is at the same location as where Snip-Its used to be. The owner just rebranding it as the other reviews mentioned.

Toni is everything for us. My little guy feels so safe with her, she moves with him, when he needs the hair blown off as it falls, she takes the time to hear his needs. The cut itself is always flawless. Her blend done with such ease is absolutely seamless. We are so blessed to have found her! Thank you for taking care of us! read more

Service is always Great!! I been taking my son for the past 2 yrs. I love their new look!!
