Took my almost 2 year old for his first professional haircut today. Sasha did an excellent job! We will definitely be going back to see her again and highly recommend her! She took us right at the time of our appointment. She was friendly and patient with our squirmy little guy. The haircut is exactly what we asked for and looks great on him! read more

*Updated because Lulu has moved out of state. Kurt took over my little one's haircutting, and we're still happy. We've tried a few other places here and there, but Kurt is a pro and gives by far better cuts then anyone else we've tried. For specifics on the location and my previous experiences, please see my older reviews! read more

The business itself was super cute! They have snacks and toys available and we were really impressed with that. However, the lady who cut my son's hair did a truly horrible job. I feel bad saying that, because it's someone's livelihood, but it looks so bad, almost as if she was trying to win an award for worst cut ever. Yes, I swear it was actually that awful. All our family members asked us what happened to him and where we went so they could make sure never to go! All I can say is it was a Thursday, and no one else was working that mid-morning except for this woman. I feel awful as she is also a mom and I don't want to hurt her career but it was an awful enough cut to write this review. His hair was beyond choppy, and looked piecemealed without rhyme or reason. A friend jokes that he looked like he was being shipped off to serve in the Russian army. I actually wish it looked like a clean crew cut or something like that but this was just out of this world awful. read more

First time we went I believe Sasha cut my grandsons hair so good he's never had suck a great cut we went back. Thanks so much

Kurt was so kind, accommodating and efficient! He took us in right when they opened, and we were in and out within 15 minutes for our childs first hair cut! He was very kind and we appreciated that he cared about the style but knew the babys attention span was short. Will be back! read more

I was referred here by friend of mine and have been going here for couple years for my kids and both Love getting their Haircuts now. Highly recommend this place read more

Kurt rocks! He's quick, efficient, and kind, making haircuts a stress-free and enjoyable experience for my toddler. Plus, the cuts always look great! The endless snack and toy options are also perfect for a little treat on the way out. With affordable prices and easy online booking, this has become our go-to spot for kids' haircuts. read more

My toddler has come here three times now and I couldn't be happier with our experience each time. Kurt knows how to get your kid to warm up when they're nervous and he is efficient, understanding, and good at what he does. Highly recommended. read more

Always happy with their kids cut. Always have availability and easily handles infants and toddlers. TV screens so the kids have something to watch. They also sell an assortment of hair products and trinkets for the kids. Last time I was in, I saw a mom getting her hair cut too so if there is a need, they provide! read more

The only salon I will bring my kids to. Such a clean and big shop, and friendly staff. My toddler has screamed and cried at every haircut and we were mentally prepared and even warned the hairdresser. She took some time to play with him and make him feel comfortable. For the first time ever he sat at let her do her thing. It's quite a drive from us but so worth it. read more

Loved the experience here for the kids. Family environment. Experienced barber. Good neighborhood spot.

Amazing experience, they are super professional and patient with my kid, he love it. I've taken it to other places, but this was without a doubt the best read more

Always get a great cut for my son from Lulu! She is so gentle and kind to the kids and genuinely cares about making them feel safe. Call ahead and ask for Lulu, her schedule is pretty packed so she is generally running a few minutes late, but is well worth the wait! read more

Curtis cut both my boys hair and he was excellent. Kind, patient, and worked efficiently. Of course, the haircuts were great. I could tell he had a very busy day (we were there last 6pm on a Saturday!) but he maintained professionalism and treated us as if we were his first client of the day. Will be going back and requesting him again. read more

Whether your kids are young or old, First Cut is a great salon for children of any age to get a haircut! My son used to hate getting his haircut. Then we started coming here! Lulu is wonderful. She is patient and kind. She is really great with squirmy kids that just can't sit still. Finally, my son doesn't mind getting his haircut anymore. This place is really cute. There are these little planes for the youngest kids to sit and relax in while getting a haircut. There are also televisions throughout the salon so kids can watch their favorite Disney or Nickelodeon programming while getting a trim. They also sell lots of great shampoos and conditioners for babies here. They have a good selection of natural products. These products are nice for children that are more sensitive. I wish I knew about these great items when my son was really little. For a great haircut at a reasonable price, First Cut is a wonderful place for a child's haircut! The hairdressers are so nice here! Note: This salon is now at a new location! Please check for the new address (down the street) before heading for your appointment! read more

We highly recommend this place. Lulu is the best!!! Very professional, sweet , patience, caring , best haircuts ever. We been coming here for 5 years. She also did my daughter's ear piercing:) read more

Kurt did an amazing job with my kids' hair. My daughter's has beautiful long thick hair that was super tangled we could not even brush it never mind cutting it. Kurt was super patient, highly skilled and super efficient was able to save all her beautiful hair without hurting her most places would have just cut her hair. He was truly a miracle worker. He also have a nice haircut to my son. We are so grateful and lucky to have found you! Thank you so much for all your hardwork we are so happy and ready to start school read more

Lulu was so awesome! Hunter kept crying because he hates haircuts but she made it work we love it! & we will be back. Thank you!

Okay for generic vanilla haircuts but stylists no longer wear masks even if you request it. Was told they do not have any and haven't used masks for a long time - even when there is a COVID surge. Will take kids to a professional stylist because 1. they will wear a mask if requested, 2. they will style professionally and 3. bonus it will still be cheaper. read more

We've been going to this salon since my son was one and he fit in the airplane seat. He's now 12 and refuses to get his hair cuts anywhere else, even though he outgrew the plane seat years ago. Lulu and Kurt and terrific with kids; they cut hair so fast the kid barley has time to register a complaint. But since they are watching a video, if you like, they are also happily entertained. Plus I don't know how they give him such a great haircut so fast but they do, we're always happy with the results. I highly recommend this First Cut for your children, and apparently your tweens as well. read more

Have been here 5x now and they do a fantastic job. Best to make an appointment so you don't wait too long. They have cute airplane shaped chairs for the little ones and TVs playing animated shows. The staff are well trained to deal with kids and are very sweet to them. Free 2-hour parking right out front. read more

Our daughter's nickname for about the first year and a half of her life was "Dandelion". Named affectionately so because her hair was just that.... Fuzzy, Soft, Moved like cotton or feathers in the wind, and stood straight around her head about an inch from her scalp. http://static2.px.yelpcdn.com/photo/lFqNmIlbRLzIj_FWxcLxhg/l So now that she is almost 2 and a half, her hair was finally ready for time for her first haircut. Thanks so much to Joan S. for suggesting First Cuts! This salon is catered to kids - with flat screens playing every children's channel possible. Salon Chairs are shaped like airplanes, rockets or cars. We made an appointment over the phone for the first appointment of the day as, it tends to get busy in the afternoons according to Associate Chris. Nari was a really sweet lady and asked Rachael (by name) which chair she wanted to sit in. I think that the disposition of the stylist makes a huge difference with the kiddos - I mean what person would want their hair cut by a scary unapproachable person right? ;) She gave us a little envelope with Rachael's first clipped locks of hair, and asked us throughout the cut what we liked, wanted etc. This was nice as she seemed to put us at ease by keeping us involved in the process (it was a big deal for me OK? lol) Once done, she style Rachael's hair and even blow dried it too. We received a little certificate for her first haircut too. The price was $22 for everything - which I think was really worth it for her time, attentiveness, etc. It took about 30 minutes for everything, and I like that she took her time. From my understanding, when you call ahead, you can order the First Cut Deluxe package which includes: Includes - Patented live broadcast on Internet (at select locations) to share with family abroad Hair Cut DVD of the whole cut Before-and-After Pictures Lock of Hair - Commemorative Album Shampoo Body Wash Package Price: $75.00 (*$150.00 with Internet broadcast*) We opted to get the basics, and with being first customers of the day, Nari didn't mind us both taking pictures and taping the whole experience. A wonderful experience for us all, but especially Rachael. She is such a shy girl, but actually talked to Nari throughout when had had questions, and said goodbye and blew kisses too. That's huge for the normally under my skirt behind my back shy girl. :) FYI - Rachael got the "Rachael" cut... lol read more

My 2 year 4 months old daughter finally had enough hair to get her 1st haircut. We called first to schedule the appointment at 3:15pm on a Sunday and by 3:30pm we were in the airplane. The reason for the delay was because the place was pretty packed with kids before us. Which is a good sign. My daughter was scared and she started screaming and crying when we placed her in the airplane. Lulu was VERY patient and tried to calm her down with Nick Jr., toys, and sound books. She gave my daughter time to figure out a position that will allow her to trim her hair. The final position was a STANDING position, with one leg in, one leg out of the airplane, while holding on to my arms, and her other hand was on my smartphone. That made my daughter calm enough so Lulu can start cutting. Lulu explained to me how much she was going to cut and to make sure I was ok with it. Then she started trimming away and saving the hair inside an little envelope. Within a few minutes the whole trimming was done and she tied up my daughter's hair in a cute hairdo with flowers in it. Of course by then my daughter didn't want to get out of the plane. We were able to take pictures and video the event with our own camera. For $24 a haircut, it was pricey but I do get what I pay for. read more

First Cut - First haircut. 4/2/2011 - Hair Salons Near Me - Corona Del Mar, California

After reading all the Yelp reviews I decided to take my son there for his 1st professional haircut. He is 17 months and I tried cutting his fine hair a few months back but it came out horrible. We went at 3 pm on December 26 so the place was empty. The salon is very well decorated and inviting for children. Lulu was quick and precise. He did ok for the first part but when she turned on the clippers he freaked out. She was extremely calm and patient with him. She did great job! Highly recommend this cute salon for little ones. My only negative thought is the lack of seat belt on the airplane chairs. I have an active boy and he just wanted to stand. A seat belt would have prevented so much freedom. read more

I have to write a review for Kurt because God bless his heart, my child screamed the entire time but Kurt did an amazing job. My 2 1/2 year old son does NOT like getting his haircut but Kurt was very patient, calm, and understanding. The end result looked great even though my son moved his head the entire time, I am very impressed with his work. Thank you so much Kurt! read more

They did such an amazing job on my 19 month old son!! We are both extremely happy with his haircut. Extremely careful yet meticulous. Will definitely be going back! read more

Not only good with kids but also great at cutting hair. I bring my little kids, my teenager and myself to get hair cuts. Kurt is the best! Highly recommended. read more

I am so happy with my son's haircut. I was able to get in last minute, which was so helpful and appreciated. Great prices and great service!

Took my daughter here for her first haircut and we both loved it! Great hair stylist, gentle demeanor, and cute decor. Thank you!

Lulu was amazing at making my little 18-month-old girl feel very comfortable as soon as we arrived at the salon. She had a cute show playing and my daughter loved sitting in the little airplanes. Lulu asked if I wanted a photo before she started the haircut, which I appreciated. Lulu was so wonderful at doing the haircut even with my wiggly child, and also found ways to make the entire experience fun. After the haircut she gave me a card that had an envelope with a lock of my daughter's hair and a blank space to put a photo from her first haircut. Very thoughtful! It was a wonderful experience overall! read more

my little guy doesn't like anyone touching his head and was in a panic just leaving the house for a haircut. first cuts got the job done in a quick ten minutes! highly recommend!! read more

Like many parents, we'd been delaying our 1-year old son's first haircut for fear that it would be a traumatic experience for him (and us)...or maybe not even possible for him to sit still long enough. Lulu from First Cut to the rescue! She made him feel comfortable with her soothing voice and friendliness. She genuinely seems like kids, and I think they can feel that. My son also enjoyed getting to sit in a rocket ship with a steering wheel while watching himself in the mirror. My husband took pictures while I held my son upright in the little rocket. It was very manageable and pleasant--fun, even. Lulu works quickly and the cut was over in less than 15 minutes. She even collected some of his cut curls for us to keep in his baby book. Twenty bucks + tip does seem like a lot, but I think it was worth it to spend a few extra dollars and have a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a first haircut for their little one. read more

Love the way Cathy cuts my son's hair! He's got long hair so most hairstylists want to just shorten it into a typical boy's cut. But Cathy understands the length and layers it so it doesn't look like it just got cut. She's super friendly so my son looks forward to going and chatting with her about roller coasters! Although there isn't a parking lot, there is always parking in front on PCH or just around the corner. Curt's very good as well. We've been going there since my son's first haircut years ago so long overdue for a review. read more

Another FANTASTIC visit with Lulu!! We brought our now 14 month old who still isn't quite ready to sit in the airplane seat, so she expertly draped me and went to work on him as he sat on my lap. Lulu is fantastic and I can't imagine anyone else cutting my son's hair as well as she does. She just works on whatever side and area she has access to and if he moves, she does too. She is awesome and the shop is great too. read more

Very friendly staff. A bit expensive, but my 3 year old was happy with this place :)
