Awesome experience! We took our 21-month-old for his first official haircut, and he had a great time. It's a really colorful, inviting place with plenty of toys and books while you wait. He immediately gravitated to one of the car-shaped chairs. Charlie did an awesome job throughout, saved some locks, and gave us a certificate with it. She was super engaging with him and was clearly experienced, with a steady hand whether she was using scissors or clippers. Honestly, the only time he complained at all was when we left. We'll definitely be back! read more

Trixie's Cuts for Kids - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

As the Mom of a 5 year old who really is uncomfortable getting hair cuts and possibly even a little scared... I am so thankful places like this exist. If you need to get your child or children's hair cut I highly recommend you take them here. We walked in and were able to get a hair cut within a half hour. I didn't think to call ahead (totally my fault) as I wasn't sure we were staying but they were very nice about it and made time for us. They sell quite a nice selection of children's activities, toys, games and craft projects. My daughter picked out a couple while we waited. The environment was warm and welcoming. The seats are little cars where the child can safely buckle up and watch a small TV in front of them. My daughter who usually will not watch TV was completely entranced by the nice variety of children's cartoons displayed on the TV screen. Charlie did my daughter's hair and she was absolutely fantastic with my daughter. My daughter was completely at ease the whole time. She found the experience quite enjoyable and was treated like a Princess complete with a lovely Elsa braid, a touch of temporary rainbow hair colors just for fun, and she topped it off with glitter. It was a fantastical hairstyle that looked like it was straight off the set of a Disney movie. All in all it was a truly wonderful and unique experience. My daughter said she "felt pretty" which was the best part. read more

Trixie's Cuts for Kids - Charlie created this beautiful masterpiece complete with color and glitter. It was like a work of art! - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

Pros: EXCELLENT hairstylist, works quickly, involved mom every single step getting approval and made professional suggestions. CONS: the place was absolutely DISGUSTING, the floors are black with crud and slippery, the walls, windows etc were greasy and fingerprinted everywhere. The car seat chairs the kids sit in for cuts, was falling apart, non of the buttons worked, was filthy. They did not sanitize the chairs after each child (esp during flu season) The TVs were embarrassing, they charge $20 a head but can't afford a tv newer than 1998? They even still had VCR MOVIES. I would be completely embarrassed if I was the owner. fresh paint, professional floor cleaning and some updates would really make the difference of a returning customer or not. Sadly I won't be returning due to the lack of cleanliness. read more

After my last visit with disappointing results, the owner reached out to me to schedule an appointment to correct my daughter's haircut. She was super invested in making sure we were happy with the results-- and we were. She even did sparkles and a braid, which my daughter loved. It was great in terms of customer service, and most importantly to me, the haircut correction looked so much better. read more

Trixie's Cuts for Kids - "Blunt cut bob" - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

Covid safe for kids. Great cut quickly even with a screaming toddler. They will put on a movie to distract kids during a haircut. I will go back again. Nice choice of toys and candy for kids. read more

Always very patient with my child. You are in and out quickly and get a good cut. We've been coming here a long time and are happy. They have movies and video games to make things go fast. Thanks Trixie's! read more

I recently took my daughter here for a back-to-school trim, and will never EVER go back to Snip-Its. Nothing wrong with them, but here's why I'm forever into Trixie's: -I'm a quirky person by nature, and so is my four year-old daughter. So the atmosphere of the salon, with its toys, race car chairs, and mini TVs where my daughter could watch "Frozen" really set the stage. -Geraldine did not mind stopping in the middle of my daughter's cut so they could both rock out to "Let It Go". I'm talking, full belt, no mixing, sing your face off. It was wonderful. -Geraldine gave my daughter an absolutely charming French bob that suits her personality to a T, and not only was it stylish, it was surprisingly quick. She really has a great method with children. All my daughter could say for the next couple of hours is, "I just love my new hair cut!" BONUS: Some people may not like this, but we're a glitter family, so when Geraldine poured glitter into my kid's hair, she couldn't stop beaming. -I'd much rather support a small business that charges about the same for a cut and gives such wonderful personal service, than a corporate machine that sees my child as another number. We will definitely be back! read more

Had a Living Social deal for here, arrived at the time the salon opened and no one was there, went shopping next door to wait it out and see if they were just late. When we went back my daughters both had their hair cut, however my daughter had to stand while her hair was cut?? We have visited "kids" salons and my own salon never has the "stylist" had my kids stand while they cut their hair, a strange and non effective way of cutting kids hair in my opinion, salon was also haphazard & disorganized, as far away from a NYC hair experience as you can get read more

Thanks for squeezing us in on your busy day! And thank you for helping restore my daughter's hair from the mayhem it was. My girls are so happy with their new "do's" and so is their mom. Thank you!! :). We have a new hair place!! read more

Geraldine is a hair cutting ninja! She managed an amazing first cut on my 20 month old boy with no crying! They have an adorable first cut certificate and attach a small lock of hair in a plastic bag. A-DOR-ABLE. I run a business myself and it's these kinds of personal touches that make customers happy. You can tell they are all very passionate about what they do! The car chairs and the toys were super cute. All the toys in the waiting room kept my 4 yr old entertained. Top notch! read more

My son is on the autism spectrum and I will never take him anywhere else but Trixies. The place is welcoming and accepting, perfect for kids and Geraldine does an amazing job both with cut and patience. Worth the drive for us! read more

Now threatening legal action... A simple apology or an effort to understand what my issue was would have gone so much farther. I can only imagine how many others she's threatened the same thing. read more

I just noticed that I had gotten a reply to my updated post. Part of me thinks I should just leave it, but part of me is extremely disturbed at how much the owner will lie in order to discredit a negative review. You can show whatever "time stamp" or footage you have. If arriving within 5 minutes of my scheduled appt is extremely late then yes, we were extremely late. And I politely asked for the tv to be shut off bc I don't give my 1 year old screen time. The rest are blatant lies as well. The owner is probably banking on whoever is reading this to just believe whatever she posts. The over the top replies also show that she needs to work on her professionalism. read more

We stopped in on a busy Saturday & received excellent service. The staff was friendly and great with kids. My daughter received many compliments on her new haircut. I liked that the waiting area was stocked with toys that the kids could play with, instead of just the "toys for purchase only" setup that many other kids' salons unfortunately provide. read more

I had a great experience getting my 2 year old's hair cut here! I easily got a same-day appointment, and she did a great job despite the unavoidable toddler wiggling. Plus there was so much to keep him occupied - he got to pick out a movie, had a sweet car-chair to sit in, and countless trucks/trains/toys to keep him distracted. He was even allowed to stay and play with all of the toys for a while afterwards, and was legitimately upset when we had to leave! He's already asked several times if we can go back! I'd definitely call that a win. read more

I had my daughters 9th birthday here last Saturday. The online pictures don't show that the party is in a very small room. I had a 12 kid party so it was kind of hard to keep all children and parents in one small room. Some of the manicures looked rushed and the hostess could of been a lot friendlier since they are dealing with children. I expected them to also be dressed a little more presentable for a party. $300 for a very small room was a little much for what they offered. I would not suggest a party there. read more

My toddler struggles sitting through haircuts. Geraldine was wonderful and did a great job to help calm him down. Usually his hair gets butchered because he is wiggly but the cut was great! Would highly recommend, especially if your child does not enjoy getting haircuts. read more

We went today to get my daughter's first hair cut. They were awesome and despite being busy they got us in quick and really did an awesome job. Very accommodating!! We will be returning customers!! read more

My daughter has only ever gone to this salon and has her hair cut by Geraldine. I have never had a bad experience. My little one is a handful, but they do everything it their power to make it a positive experience ever time she goes (I.e. Bubbles, movies of her choice, singing, talking to her, toys, etc). We go every 6 weeks (she keeps her hair short) and have never had a problem with getting in. I recommend Geraldine to anyone who is looking for a talented, kid stylist, who can get the job done well and quickly! read more

This place is amazing. My son always had issues at the salon, so for a while, we were cutting his hair at home. We decided to give this place a shot and everything went so great. He sat in a little car quietly and watched Toy Story. The stylist was great and my son actually kept asking to go back. We will be back for sure. read more

We have had nothing but positive experiences with Trixie's Cuts. And I have used a Living Socials and Yelp deal with no problems. My son who really hates getting his haircut will tolerate it with Geraldine! She's terrific at distracting him with various shows, bubbles, toys - she has a lot of good tricks up her sleeve to keep kids happy! Also she is very accommodating. I can get pretty particular about my children's hair and she always makes sure that I am also happy with the haircut! She really does a terrific job! I am not sure why there are any less than stellar reviews here as we have always been very pleased. We make the trip from the shoreline to Milford, just for Trixie's Cuts! read more

This place was perfect for a 15 month old's first haircut. The stylists are like ninjas and they have a treasure hoard of things to distract the kids with. The only minus is that I said I'd heard horror stories of moms bringing their babies in and coming out with man haircuts. Unfortunately I feel the same way- my baby came out looking way way older. I'm sure I'll get used to it but it's a little unsettling at the moment. read more

Save your money and find a real stylist. No matter how many times I explicitly said leave all the length on top, she massacred it. I am so upset, because even though hair grows- this is going to take awhile to grow out and now we can't do anything about our family pictures. I will never go back here and will let everyone know that this place is a sham. Unless, of course you are looking for subpar stylists that can't follow instructions. read more

I'm not sure what happened with the negative reviewers, but I've had nothing but positive experiences at Trixies! It is always a cinch to get an appointment and I've never waited longer than 5 or 10 minutes for my children to be seen (plus, there's plenty of toys and books to keep them busy while they wait!). The stylists are unfailingly friendly and work hard to make my childrens' hair styling experiences good ones -- videos, bubbles and comforting words :) I've always been pleased with the cuts that my kids (one boy and one girl) have received here. I will continue to go to Trixie's for my kids haircuts and would not hesitate to recommend it to others! read more

I've been to this location three or four times. I had a 10:30 appointment for my 3 year old grandson this past Friday. We arrived about 10:20 and another customer walked in no more than 15 seconds before us. As far as we know, that customer didn't have an appointment. We told the woman that we had an appointment, but she told us we would have to wait. She called someone else to come in, but that person was coming from Hamden, so it would be at least 1/2 hour. My grandson is autistic and doesn't like to get a haircut to begin with, so this just made a difficult job harder. We left and ended up taking him to a local barber who did a great job. We won't be back to this store. read more

Trixie's is a great place to have your child's haircut. Geraldine, the owner, and her staff made us feel welcome the moment we walked in the door. I have twin three year old boys. There was plenty to keep one son entertained while the other son got his haircut. There are car chairs for the kids to sit in while they got their haircut. The boys were e amused by the music the cars makes. The kids also could watch a show/movie or play a video game. Geraldine was gentle with the boys. She talked to the kids and kept them engaged during their haircut. The boys haircuts turned out great. They received tons of compliments. I would highly recommend Trixie's to my family and friends. read more

Trixie's was the BEST! We were visiting from New York City and my 2 year old desperately needed a haircut. At that point he had had about 8 haircuts, all of which were nothing special and sometimes just plain bad. With Trixie's there was no issue with making an appointment for the next day and when I met the owner and her husband, I was floored by how warm they were. Best part of the experience was the my son got the BEST haircut to date. My only issue is that we can't travel 2 hours each time he needs a haircut, but for the professionalism, quality and price, it is probably worth the travel. I really wish I could transport Trixie's to NY! Thanks so much for such a great experience! read more

I went here last June. We were in the area doing some shopping and I saw the salon. I had seen it advertised before and had read great reviews. My daughter only needed her bangs trimmed. When I walked in there was a birthday party going on. The 2 people working were rushing around looking very stressed. The woman greeted us and asked what needed done. I explained to her that I needed to get my daughter's bangs cut. I said that I did not just want Them straight as I did not like the look of thick bangs. She immediately said she knew what I meant and that she would do wispy bangs. She then went over to the guy who was There and started arguing about something having to fo with the birthday party. The guy then got up and as he is going to the party room trips and almost falls trying to go back behind the curtain they had put up for te party room. The place was very small and everything was cluttered. The bang cut went fine and the woman was decent. But my daughter's bangs were a mess. I understanf it was busy and chaotic with the party going on. But I.would of rather her tell me that. At first glance when she was done it looked it ok. But later I noticed it was all uneven and there were even parts on the sides that hung down longer. My daughter had her dance recital the next day and this was upsetting. read more

Our first visit to Trixie's was this week. Love the haircut my daughter got (I wish my hair looked that good!) not to mention the great service. The stylist took the time to braid (and glitter!) my daughter's hair, which she loved. And she was so great with my daughter. Only negative thing was that the place looks like it could use a makeover :) read more

Love this place! This is the only place I am taking my daughters from now on. My two little ones have a ton of hair so before my oldest was 2 I have had to get her bangs cut multiple times. But when she needed her first official haircut before her 2nd b-day we decided to try Trixie's. The atmosphere is fun. The stylist here was amazing with my daughter. They played Frozen for her. Managed to give her an even cut even though she was turning her head like crazy. Additionally she put in an "elsa" braid and glitter, they asked my permission first, at the end of the cut. Lastly, they are very reasonably priced. I would recommend this place to anyone with little ones. read more

Trixie's is the best! It is the only place my kids will go for a hair cut. My kids love Geraldine, she is so gentle, kind and fun. They love sitting in the cars and playing video games or watching a movie of their choice while getting their hair cut. We have been going for years and never had to wait if we had an appointment. read more

My husband and I took our son for his first haircut today and it was the greatest experience we could have ever hoped for! A huge thank you to Matt and Geraldine, their professionalism and patience was abundant! Everyone was so sweet and understanding. Even though Our 15 month old son cried and fussed through out the entire cut, Geraldine and Matt were super fast and so sweet to all of us. They have endless options to keep the children happy...movies, fun chairs, decorations and toy everywhere! Matt was even nice enough to blow bubbles for our son and did his very best to keep us laughing! Geraldine is extremely talented, I have never seen anyone do such a fast haircut and still have it come out looking so amazing. We will be back again and again, hats off to Geraldine and her entire staff. You are all very talented, patient, sweet and very hard workers. Thanks again! Keep up the fantastic work. read more

Such a wonderful experience for my grandson who is not a fan of getting his hair cut. Staff was very friendly and patient with him. ( I think her name was Natasta). I was also extremely impressed with how family friendly this salon is, I will highly recommend this salon. read more

Hooray! Finally, a kid friendly salon that is affordably priced and professional. There is plenty to keep your kids busy while you wait (which is never long) yet does not have all of the annoying noise and lights that other kids salons have. YOur kids will leave with a top notch stylish haircut and you won't leave with a blazing headache It's the only place we'll even think of going. Plenty of parking and an awesome staff too! read more

I been taking my 3 yrs old daughter there for almost a year, she loves it ! I don't have a single complaint, the hair stylist is very good with kids, my daughter always wants to come back for a haircut, I recommend it 100 %. read more

The first time we went, after we got home we realized my daughter's hair and bangs we're pretty uneven. The second time we went (we gave them a second chance) we were made to wait for 45 minutes after our appointment time! We weren't given any explanation. After 30 minutes I asked when we were going to get her hair cut and were told it would be another 15. I think they skipped us somehow, they seem fairly disorganized. This meant we were waiting through my 3 and 5 year olds lunch time. Again the cut needed an extra trim when we got home. We were given $5 off the cut but that just wasn't enough of an apology after such a long wait for my kids through lunch with no explanation. I honestly think we only received the $5 off because I asked what was going on. Bottom line you can get a better hair cut and better customer service elsewhere. read more

So I bought a Living Social deal for Trixies Cuts for Kids. I attempted to use it one day when we were in the area and was told I needed to make an appointment. No big deal. A few weeks later I called to make an appointment and was told that I could only come during the week and weekend times were not available "because we rent out our chairs to other stylists and they won't honor the Living Social deal". (That was no where in the fine print of the deal). I explained that I didn't live in Milford and normally go there when I am visiting my parents. With some hesitation I was told I could come on a Saturday. When we showed up the place looked like it was a cross between a toy store and a storage area with 3 hair cutting stations thrown in their. We then had to wait 30+ minutes while she finished up two other children (I assumed that when you made an appointment you would be taken roughly around that time). I didn't feel like the place was clean. The woman working that day had food spread all over the registered area. I find it hard to believe that it is ranked the #1 kids salon in the state and is run by a top NYC stylist. When I gave my feedback on Living Social "cheap haircuts but very unprofessional, dirty atmosphere" their response back was a personal attack on me and my husbands business (they obviously looked me up on the Internet to get the name of my husbands business-----seems like they stalked me). They should just take the feedback at face value and make improvements to their business. I will NEVER go back their and would NEVER recommend it. read more
