    Greg M.

    I brought my 18 mo old son in for a mullet (here's a before pic). I showed her a photo example. She seemed confident, so I let her go to work and focused on keeping my son occupied. 10 minutes later, I looked up, and to my horror, she'd cut off the entire length off the back-left side. Realizing my mistake in not explicitly confirming "do not cut the back of my son's hair", I had no choice but to bite my lip and let her do the same to the right side. I've had to sit on writing this for 24 hours in order to let my anger subside. My son used to compliments on his hair constantly. He was growing it for 18 months and it was completely butchered in 18 minutes. Don't get me wrong, he's still a cute kid and I don't love him any less :) But now he's a cute kid with a bad haircut. I will say this: we arrived 5 mins late, and for the last 5 min, my son was getting agitated by the scissors and getting very squirmy. Given that, I dont expect perfection. What I do expect is that if my son has long hair, and I say I want a mullet and show a photo of one, you wouldn't chop off the back of his hair, or at the very least you'd ASK before cutting off 18 months worth of hair. And therein lies the root of the problem: The business model at this place seems built around quantity, not quality. A child cut should, all things being equal, take more time than an adults, not less. Because they don't sit still and you do. But she's got appointments every 20 minutes (which includes transition time), which is not enough time to ask questions or communicate properly, pay attention, and deal w/ squirmy kids. It leaves no room for error and probably leads to a lot of stress. I can sympathize w/ the economics of making a small business work. But given how infrequently a small kid needs a haircut, wouldn't you be willing to pay a little more so the haircutter could take their time? I know I would. If you aren't particular about the haircut, this place is fine. There are a lot of toys, movies, and other distractions. And the owner does love children. But if you want someone to ask questions/listen to what you want and take their time, I'd go somewhere else. Note: 1st pic is before, next 3 are after. Blond kid is an online photo I showed for the sample of what we were going for.

    Wow. After taking C&N to see Chrissy for a haircut yesterday evening I immediately knew why she received 5 stars on Yelp. She was super accommodating and offered to cut their hair after hours. Luckily for me there was a cancellation so we were squeezed in right before swim class. Not only is Chrissy super friendly, she made C&N feel comfortable right away. She's also really quick, while being precise. C&N both got their haircuts done in a little less than 30 minutes. We were in and out of there in no time. There's different cars for kids to sit on as they get their haircut (or regular chairs if they prefer) and a TV to distract them as she works her magic. While waiting, there's also mini games to play. I highly suggest making an appointment on her website in advance if you want to see Chrissy (she also cuts adult hair), especially in the evenings or weekends. You can make an appointment up to 8 weeks out, which I did immediately after leaving. She's that good! Her prices are reasonable as well. Tiny HeadQuarters Salon is located in Sola Salon Studios, so parking is plentiful.

    She gets on when we're about to leave!

    It was my first time inside Sola Salons and I love the concept. We arrived in Tiny Headquarters Salon and immediately I thought it was kids heaven! Automobiles, games, snack machine... It was my daughters first haircut so I was not sure what to expect from her, but I came here for all the raving reviews. Just as I had expected, my daughter was scared to sit alone in the car because she didn't know what we were about to do. She's 20 months old and she has long curly hair. She had to sit on my lap having her haircut, but she had her cocomelon and snacks, so she was good! The haircut was so quick and she got a cute braided hairstyle after! I was surprised that she allowed Cristine to cut her hair, but at the same time, Cristine was so quick and gentle hands, I don't even think my daughter noticed what she was doing! After the haircut, we put my daughter in the car to get a picture and now she didn't want to leave! She was already comfortable, but there was a next customer so we had to go. We got a cute 1st time haircut and her locks of hair for keepsake. Will be back! Thank you for fitting her into your schedule!

    The five-star reviews are absolutely 100% correct. Experience was better than I could have ever hoped for. I'd give six stars, if I could. Very quick, efficient, and friendly. Thank you! Will definitely come back.

    First haircut!

    I had no way to attach a response to Christina, so I'm responding to her by this update review…read moresection. I must say her comments are a bit inaccurate. The 2nd appointment i told her how fantastic everything was & wanted same result. I was surprised how easy my hair was & needed little attention (see 1st review). On 2nd visit, I Explained briefly since I was not a known client yet only visiting for initial consultation & 1st time haircut. But the 2nd cut, the hair was too heavy on the top (I told her on 3rd visit) and the nape of the neck on one side was laying funny after I went home & after couple days washing & tried to style. I trimmed the nape and cut more off the top & sides myself and looked so much better and laid right when I finished. I told her that on visit #3 before starting, which she commented didn't look like her cut. And we chuckled. On my third visit, we consulted briefly going over what I changed & why. I DID tell her I was disappointed. Also on ALL my visits I mentioned I wash, scrunch my curls. I walk in with wavy & slightly curl to my hair & nothing hanging in my face. I rementioned to be careful of the thinning top section in back because if too short it sticks up funny. Not like a cowlick, but light enough that you can see the thinning & it won't lay right and lifts away from my head too much like a missing layer underneath. 1st visit hair I walked out with my curls more in mind than 2 & 3. Even said, I don't like hair in my face, but visit 2 & 3 I left with it straight & hair in the face. This 3rd cut, that back area around the crown is too short, unmanageable & doesn't lay right, sides are also cut so it lays in very strange directions & I have to use curling iron on all my head which is what I've gotten away from for a few years now. Even with curling iron I'm having difficulty getting sections to even lay correctly. Im fighting my hair daily. Only thing is wait for it to grow & not cry. The nape was again laying funny after washing & air dry & after trying for a week, had to have my husband cut to try & fix. On my first visit Christina analyzed my hair & growth directions which made me feel comfortable & she worked with that pattern & that's why it was perfect cut & I seriously had little need to fuss with it, see 1st review. I was amazed & felt I found my person. However, going 3 times & only 1 result that I can be happy with & not trim later, I can't return. I never mind stylists that dry & style your hair a little different, its expected. BUT it's the cut that counts. And once you get home, go to your routine to wash, scrunch & for me let it air dry, that's when you know how the hair is truly reacting & that stylist worked with your deficits & oddities. I was truly disappointed that this didn't work out!! It happens, But also do NOT say I didn't tell you how I was unhappy after the 2nd cut. I DID! & if you recall, I took the blame saying that maybe I didn't explain as in depth as our 1st session. Our 2nd visit discussion was shorter & maybe that was our downfall. I tried to recreate my verbiage as best as I could with everything I thought I said the first time, but apparently we both missed the mark for 2 out of 3 cuts. My hair didn't end up as satisfied as 1st & worse by cut #3. Going to someone new is anxiety for me because of thinning & loss. I had to resort to doing my own cuts since COVID & this was my 1st experience back in a salon in 5 years. You did take a lot of time with me, you tried (for that I've changed to 4 stars), but my hair is obviously little more of a challenge.

I had warned them about this beforehand, but no one ever seems to really take me seriously LOL. In order to not damage my hair Jane took an entire 5 hrs! working on it, and was very patient the entire time. This was both a pro and a con - pro in that my hair did not come out fried, as it often can, but con in that 5 hrs is a really long time to be spending sitting in a hair salon! They made sure I had water and a bathroom break, which was very considerate. Jane seemed very knowledgeable and specifically did different treatments for the parts of my hair that hadn't been permed before vs those that had. The top layer took very well. The cons: Again, 5 hrs... I very much appreciate them not wanting to fry my hair, but maybe a little speeding up could have been done? Also, while the top layer permed well, the bottom didn't really take - see photos. Also, just FYI, but there is no validated parking. It wasn't terrible to pay the garage, but just something to be aware of. Overall I really appreciated all the time and patience they took, to specially alter treatments for different parts of my hair, and try to not damage it. If there is some kind of middle ground to be able to do the perm and have it take completely in all the hair, and with less time, that would be ideal.
