I have been taking my two girls here for a year now and we have always had incredible experiences! We have had haircuts, hair tinsel, first ear piercings, and manicures... all of which have been fantastic. We look forward to our next visit! read more

Karissa is so nice and the shop is SO clean. I love the play area and so does my girls. My kiddos have had a few haircuts and my youngest loved the tinsel. I had my hair cut and received a free touch up to get my dead ends off. 100% recommend! read more

I had really high hopes for Curious curls and was excited to take my daughter in for a bang trim before her birthday photos. Their website shows a very cute and welcoming salon. While I wouldn't discredit that it indeed is very cute. It was far from welcoming. This was our first time and last time visiting this children's salon. When we walked in, no one was In the lobby- that's fine we waited a minute and the girl came from the back with no smile on her face zero acknowledgment and walked to the computer. I said hello first, and gave her my daughter's name. Still received no pleasantries. She said "okay" and I don't believe she said anything before walking to the back again. She never asked if we'd been there before or if it was our first time. I'm assuming by our appointment file she could see that we never been there before... She gave zero welcoming- never let know us to enjoy the little play area while waiting before she would come back. Nothing indicating that my daughter could go play with the toys They have there while we waited. She just walked off. That was a bit offputting. She had zero smile on her face. She seemed miserable to be there. Definitely did not make us feel welcomed. Then when she came back to get us again with no smile on her face or even a pleasant welcoming face, we followed her to the area where they cut hair, I got my daughter in the car & She made zero effort to really interact with my child or Make her feel comfortable. As far as the bang trim- I SHOULD have trimmed the bangs myself at home rather than coming here. I might as well of gone to great clips. I wanted the bangs right at the brows not above... I knew right away they were gonna be shorter than I wanted... the girl grabbed a chunk and made a big cut. And at the end I believe she was attempting to add some texture... she took the TOP layer of the bangs and cut "add texture" it looks like in uneven mess. She asked to blend the bangs to her hair and I said please. But WHY does the one side have this big chunk of hair on one side while the other doesn't? I would like to mention my child sat still the entire time. She didn't pull away, or cry. She sat nicely. My daughter bangs look awful for her photo shoot, I could cry honestly & I will never return here again read more

what a wonderful experience! my daughter and I did the birthday with a bestie and my MIL came along for an ear pierclong. It was the best time and we can't wait to go back! read more

The owner Karissa is always there working just as hard as the rest of the staff and is super friendly. Very calming colors in the salon and extremely clean. My son has sensory issues with haircuts, but April is the most patient stylist and made his haircut so fun. It was by far the best haircut he's had, and it was stress free. Highly recommend, especially if you have children with sensory needs. Only thing I would recommend is calling ahead to check to see if you schedule at the same time as baby ear piercings, as the crying can overstimulate some. read more

Melissa did wonderful with our autistic daughter today! She was very patient with her and explained everything she was doing. Absolutely recommend for any neurodivergent kiddos! read more

I've taken my 4 year old several times now and each time he is so content and distracted enough to let the stylists do his hair! He's usually squirmy but not here, he is able to watch his favorite show, suck on a lollipop and sit still while he gets a hair cut! The stylists always do a stellar job and will make sure you're satisfied with the cut before you leave. The atmosphere is perfect for toddlers to play before and after their cut, and lots of yummy drink options and the cutest product selection from little small businesses to shop from! I'm thankful I have a place I know my kids will enjoy going to and I know we will never go anywhere else! Even if you don't live in Salem, I say it's 100% worth the drive! read more

Pretty good experience. Was hoping for an amazing one since it was my son's first haircut but it was pretty good. Annoying thing was I scheduled his appointment more than a month in advance and they texted me the day before saying they needed to move it to the next day. Just frustrating when you work your weekend around something and then has to change because of some sort of scheduling issue they made. I wish there was more decor/cars/toys for boys and the choice to choose what car to sit in (we got the pink one). I expected our stylist to be a lot more upbeat, interactive and engaging considering it's a kids salon but she was still nice. The haircut was just okay. Kinda choppy but I guess maybe that's cuz it was on a baby who moved around a bit. Although he did really good for his first time. Probably wouldn't come back but I think the potential for this to be an amazing place is there. read more

They had plenty of toys in the waiting room to play with that that started the cut experience fun. Our stylist was shy, she was kind and was being very interactive with my son . she worked great with his curls and gave some suggestions for how to style which made hair come out better than i had planned. read more

Wonderful calm experience and my boys had a blast! Thank you! Our second time here and definitely will be back!

My son's first hair cut ever after 8 years of growth. I was hoping the stylist would know hair, specifically curly hair. He had long curly hair and wanted to donate the hair. The only thing we asked the stylist was to keep a length to be able to put his hair in a small pony tail. She forgot and chopped off his hair very short and uneven. And then she still had to cut more just to make it look decent, so now it's nowhere close to the length we wanted. I felt so bad for my boy. He was not happy that his hair was too short. I had to say things to lighten the moment like, "Don't worry, it will grow back." This was his first experience cutting his hair and I have to say it was not good. The stylist said if I didn't like it I didn't have to pay, but maybe she just shouldn't have charged me at all. Then I asked for product for curly hair and what she sold me does not help the curls curl. I thought this place would be better than a barber because of the length we had to work with and wanted, but now I don't know where to go. Pic 1-Sample of what we wanted lengthwise.

Trinidy made my 9 year old feel like a princess and made her look like one too. It was a great experience and I would recommend them to my friends & family. We will definitely be repeat customers! read more

A little tricky to find the first time but totally cute inside. My little one is 6 and she got hair tinsel done today, totally adorable and by the time Anita was done my little was insisting she needed more tinsel which is huge cause she's kinda shy until she gets to know you. They took their time with her so she was comfortable and she got bubbles and a sucker on the way out. If she would get her hair cut I know she would come here read more
