I am so happy my friend told me about this place. I have 2 kids that for the first time look forward to getting their hair cut. This salon is perfect for kids and is very stimulating with the tv's screens, bright colors, and rocket ships as chairs for the younger children. When my son gets his haircut, he loves to play the video games, and my daughter likes watching cartoons. What I love about First Cut is that the salon is kept spotless. They do such a great job keeping the store clean, which makes me feel really comfortable. And having the children entertained while they get their hair cut, gives me time to relax. I've been there three times so far and have tried different stylists each time. Each one seems to be just as skilled and caring with my children. I've always walked out very happy with their haircuts. I have already recommended this place to my friends, and they're just as happy. read more

Love the staff working here. Definitely recommend this place for any babies first hair cut. It's a bit pricey for a haircut (more than when I used to get them) but being that I've tried to cut my son's hair, I'm more than glad to leave the job to profesionals. read more

First Cut - First hair cut! - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Rolling Hills Estates, California

This the second time taking the baby there the first time he was 4months old and it was fairly easy. He's 7months now and a lot more active... The lady who cut his hair was very nice we went at the right time because there was nobody else there. The haircut was very fast and it seems like she did a very good job... As much as he moved she was able to do a good job. Except the baby got scared when the clippers came on lol I would definitely go back. I would put 6 if they had 6 haha read more

First Cut - Haircut time - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Rolling Hills Estates, California

Really bad hair was uneven. Lady did not use the clips correctly. When I told her it was uneven she said that how kids hair is uneven. My son has a full set of hair but they made it patchy. I had to cut his hair at another place where they fixed it. read more

Great place my grandson 3 yrs old had the best experience getting his hair cut for the first time.

Bring my toddler for her haircuts even though they are pricey my daughter loves coming here we cut her hair once a year so we compromise with the pricing read more

We have been going here for months and I can't believe I still haven't wrote a review. Our son is 7 and he's so fidgety, they have so many things to entertain the kids and it helps so much!!! We luv his hairstylest, she always does exactly what we want with his hair!! Amazing!!! read more

Up until two weeks ago, my 3 year old son used to hate getting his hair cut. Not only would he scream and cry, but his hair cuts turned out uneven because he couldn't stop squirming around in his chair. I am so thankful my friend recommended First Cut. It's a bit of a drive for me, but well worth it. This salon caters towards children and they have TV's, DVD's and video games to keep them preoccupied. My son loved watching Wonder Pets and for the first time, he did not cry! He was actually happy and surprisingly asked to go back the next day. The hair stylists all seemed equally careful and caring, and the best part is that the salon was very clean. I've been to a bunch of salons in my life, and this one is by far the cleanest I've ever seen. I feel very comfortable recommending this salon to my friends and family and I will definitely be back. read more

Had an appointment but they made us wait 35 minutes after we arrived. Our toddler isn't fond of haircuts but Jenny did an excellent job. Had an appointment with Rose but since she didn't like crying babies she was rude and switched us. We left something behind and came back for it and caught Rose complaining to another about our crying toddler. I would've expected more of a professional service from Rose and someone that could work with kids. She didn't seem like she wanted to work there and had too much of an attitude. read more

Whatever you do don't go to Jenny . Jenny works morning shifts 10-1 . My son got 2 bad haircuts from her. She chopped off all his beautiful curls and it is also uneven everywhere ( I will try to add a photo so you can see how bad it is) . Jenny is so rude as well on the phone and in person. She is rude to me and rude to her co-workers. Go to Maria she is so nice and does a amazing job ,Maria works the 1- later shift--- but be careful if you go at 1 and Maria is not their , Do not let Jenny touch your kids hair. Go 1:30 or later just to be safe . read more

I am giving this place one star because of the attitude shown by one of its employees. There are two - one with black hair lady (BHL) and other is blonde. BHL was rude and did not take time properly cut my kid's hair. She looked irritated that she needed to work. For a business where PR is very important, I am surprised that she still has a job in this industry. read more

We went to this place more than a year ago & had a very bad experience with hair stylist named Jenny. After that we never went back. Every Time my son needed a haircut I drove all the way to Santa Monica to a kid friendly hair salon. Today, I didn't have enough time to make it to the westside & I figured I should give these guys another shot. First cut is located inside PV mall next to Ruby's & the ice skating place. Parking is incredibly easy. We walked in with no appointment. They were very welcoming & politely let us know the wait would be about 25 min. Hair stylist, Maria, was there. She cut 1 girl & 2 boys hair in just 25 min before it was our turn. She was super fast, so nice & friendly with the kids. & she really did a very nice job. My son cries everytime he cuts his hair, this time he was seating perfectly, didn't move & followed Maria's instructions. My son loves Maria. We had a really good experience this time & im so glad we went there today. The basic haircut is only $22 & if you get 10 haircuts your 11th haircut would be free. They keep that record on file with your phone number. This hair salon is very kid friendly, they have nice decorations. They have a rocket & 3 helicopters & regular chairs that are orange. Very happy & colorful. Will definitely go back to Maria again :) read more

See all

For a kids' haircutting place, First Cut's ambience is much better than most. The place is clean and comfortable. Kids books are available and flat screen TV monitors are in every cutting station. Staff is nice. Only bad part was the actual hair cut. Our appointment was a Sunday, thirty minutes before closing. My son's hair was long enough for the stylist to work with; virtually a blank canvas. All she had to do was cut a bit of the bangs, thin and trim the sides and back. The stylist gave him a crooked bowl cut in the front, didn't thin out the sides (we couldn't tell at the time because his hair was wet), and the back was noticeably crooked, as if the stylist's head was tilted left the whole time. We asked her to fix it but she was making it worse. We gave up and paid our $26. A waste of money. read more

I'm so disappointed with my daughters haircut I had to cry. It was her very first haircut since she was born. she's turning 4 in a month and a half. I asked for a shoulder length hair cut and the lady cut her hair just right below her ear looking like a bowl cut. she actually cut it shoulder length first then she took an inch and a half part of her hair (that i thought she would layer) and cut it. I didnt of course show my daughter that I was dissappointed but I made sure that i'm not leaving the lady any tips! my daughters gonna have to celebrate her bday with this bowl cut hair. read more

After taking my niece to First Cuts for the second time, I decided it was time for a review. What a great place! Let me explain that Rebecca is four years old and has always flipped out (not in a good way) when my sister took her for haircuts. My sister's friend lives near PV and mentioned First Cuts last year...so we decided to try it. The salon itself is adorable (and clean!!!) and she has so much fun there--when we told her it was time for a haircut last weekend, she actually jumped up and down! There are video games and DVDs--they just keep the kids entertained so the grown ups can actually relax for a little bit. So far, we've tried two different stylists (I'm blanking on the names), but they were both really patient and actually very talented... she has such a cute haircut right now. read more

So I called earlier this morning to inquire about their $75 "First Cut Package" advertised on their website. I mentioned this package to her during the call and also mentioned that I wanted to give this as a gift to my godchild. She confirmed that they had gift cards for purchase. So here I am now at the RHE First Cut 4 Kids. The same lady whom I assume answered my call now tells me that there is NO package, and that they sell NO gift cards. She did acknowledge that she is aware of the website promoting this "package". Needless to say I just lost an hour or two of my life driving up here for some phantom package and gift cards. read more

Not clean! She used the brush with full of hair from previous client on my girl ! After she was done with my little one she did not clean the sit and start with my other girl ! With same apron, Even she did not dry the kids hair or even get the hair off their face. I would never go back to this place. read more

Came here because my daughter's regular hair stylist is out of commission for a bit and the reviews seemed to be high for this place. We didn't have high expectations but we were hoping for a cut better than Super Cuts. We did not get this. My daughter's hair came out lopsided and uneven. We drove from Bellflower to here for their reviews and don't even want to make the trip back to ask them to fix it. I don't know how reviews can be so good for a place the ruined my daughter's hair. read more

Cute place! Great for first haircuts, but not the cheapest place to go to if you have more than one child. They treated my little ones with care which made their first haircut experience a great one. I guess what really sells this place is that they are visually appealing and tend to hire staff on the younger end (at least that was the case the last time I was there). Other than that, there's nothing super different about how they cut hair. I did appreciate the fact that they handed me an envelope with strands from my kids' first haircut. But after that initial first cut, I decided to save money and take them to a local place which has been wonderful since. read more

My nephew went here for his first hair cut and they even had a service where they could stream live to grandparents who don't live in the area so they could watch! It was insane! Everyone is so great, and we continue to take Wesley there whenever he needs a haircut! read more

Took my boys here for a cut every time before I moved further. Great service! Patient personnel! Great for kids! The theme is great. Cartoons and lollipops to keep kids still. Love the place! read more

I was curious about this cute shop so I just walked in. The cheery decor and ambiance reflects that of the the staff. A very friendly environment which makes it fun for kids when getting a hair cut. There are TV screens at each station for entertainment. The kids will have fun and the staff was professional and didn't mind answering questions event though I wasn't a customer, YET! read more

This place is unbelievable! I took him here since he starts to cry when it is time to cut his hair. Hence the name "First Cut" when he starts crying the lady with balck hair and glasses tells me she will not cut his hair if he is crying. I could not believe a salon named "First Cut" turned down a crying child. Horrible service these klady should learn to work with children!! read more

We took our daughter here today. She's 3 1/2 and just had her first hair cut. They have lollipops and awards, which is great. My little girl was crying the whole time and the hair cutter did a great job and was very understanding. The owner seemed pretty nice too. read more

I didn't think it would be so easy for my daughter's very 1st hair cut. I initially took her somewhere else and she lost it and was screaming so loud in the salon, the stylist was afraid to even attempt a haircut. I decided to bring her in and Maria did such a great job of putting my daughter at ease. She was careful with the haircut and even tied her hair in super cute pigtails afterwards. I would definitely go back! Oh and the cute chair and cartoons / programs on TV definitely helped as a distraction for my daughter - she didn't move at all throughout her haircut. read more

They cut my children's hair without my permission thee father took them, they kick and scream the hairdresser and she still cut their hair. What a piece of crap place. So disappointed read more

Maria was very patient and took her time with our little one! This was his very first haircut at 1 year old. We got a certificate with a lock of his hair. She also took our picture. We will be back! Thanks again Maria! read more

First time here. Came here from a recommendation from a friend. My son needed a hair cut for his 2 year birthday party and has really curly hair. Maricela helped us and did a wonderful job with his hair cut. The place is great for kids with tv's,airplane seats to get the hair cut and toys. We made a appointement before hand but didn't seem to need one as we were the only ones there at the time. Will be coming back! read more

Maria did a great job giving our son his haircut considering how much screaming and moving he was doing! She was very patient and kind, making sure we were satisfied with the cut before stopping. You have to be realistic and understand that if your kid hates haircuts and moves around like ours did, the cut is not going to be perfect. We were more than happy with the results. Will be back soon! read more

We took our one year old for his first real haircut on a Saturday (I say real because he's had one other that he didn't sit for and ended up getting half a haircut). It was like 45 to closing and we were the only ones there so no wait at all.They have the whole tv, rocket ship chairs, lollipop giving thing going on in order to get the kids to sit still which totally works. Clara was great w my little one, she said she's been there for about 6 months but perhaps she had experience else where because she was very patient and attentive to his needs. The Yelp reviews from priors had me skeptical about this place before going in but I would definitely recommend it to all mommies. read more

I am really disappointed about this place. I hate my son's haircut. Is just horrible. Some parts are longer than other one's. His hair is so uneven. His dad is going to take him to another place hoping they can fix his hair. Augh you can't imagine how mad i am. read more

This place is the perfect salon for kids! All the stylists have experience working with children, and are good at what they do. I took my 2 year old son here for a cut and he did not want to leave. It's like ChuckECheese, but with haircuts. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Great place to take your little ones! Love the decor and the feel of the place. It is always clean and tidy. My son will actually sit still for his cut so it is way worth it to me to pay a little more for a drama free experience. To get a true haircut this is the place to go. The staff takes their time and they are super friendly. read more

Have been coming here for 4 years to get my boy's haircuts. Absolutely love Maria!! She is so kind and patient with the boys. She also does a fantastic job on the haircuts! I highly recommend this salon and Maria!! read more

WOW! I cannot say enough good things about First Cut! Great environment for kids! My son was so excited to be sitting in a rocket and watch his favorite movie (Toy Story) that he forgot about the haircut! It helped a lot that we had an amazing stylist, too! Jenny was so patient, and kind.. I am so grateful to her for making his first haircut special and memorable. When I first came in, I showed her pictures I printed online of what I wanted and she listened! She really took the time to understand what we wanted and didn't make us feel like we were rushed. She got to know us (my husband, my son & I) by name and made sure my son was comfortable. She had us put him in this awesome rocket ship (instead of the usual boring hair-cutting chair) & asked us which movie our son liked off of a movie menu! He was so happy to be sitting in a rocket like his favorite character (Buzz Lightyear) and watch Toy Story he forgot he was getting a haircut! I totally thought he was gonna freak out and he actually sat quietly. He did squirm a little, but Jenny was soooo patient and kind with him. She talked to him the whole time and made sure with us that the length and everything was ok, too! She even let us get all the first haircut pictures and put aside a lock of his hair! Needless to say, his haircut came out great!! Perfect little surfer boy haircut EXACTLY as I described it! She gave him a sucker and a balloon and put his little curls in an envelope for me dated with his name on it and decorated with these cute little froggy stamps!! I cannot thank her enough! First Cut was an awesome salon, but Jenny really went the extra mile and because of her we will be long time repeat customers!! Thanks again!! read more

My experience here is mixed. We've been here 4x now and first 3 times was with Jenny. Jenny did a great job cutting my 3 1/2 yr old son's hair. Jenny is a sweet older lady who used to be a preschool teacher. Since every time we went at 10am, she was there, I think she works mainly in the mornings. Since my son started going to preschool every morning, I took my son in for a haircut in the afternoon last week. We got another lady and she did a horrible job. I wish I got her name to warn other people, but it was a lady with long blonde hair, curls on the sides. With all the TV shows you can watch like the Wiggles, my son was not moving at all. So she cannot blame the bad hair cut job on him being difficult. Believe me, he was stiff like a zombie. Well, when we were walking out the door, she came back and said she needs to fix something on the back. So she did. That should have been a warning sign... The thing that really bothers me about salons is that they put gel on kids' hair. It may look good when you walk out, you never know if the hair cut is actually straight or not until you wash your child's hair. So, after washing his hair, I saw that it was a total disaster. The back wasn't short enough and his bangs were straight, like one of those old school Asian "put a bowl on your head" hair cut and it was crooked. This was after $22 plus a $5 tip!! I really wanted to go back to have them fixed, but knowing that we can't get Jenny (since I can't take him in the morning anymore) I've decided to pay another $20 to get his hair fixed elsewhere. This time, it came out much better and the lady who fixed his hair had to cut off a lot in the back. This proves that the other lady didn't cut much in the back at all. So, after $27, what did she actually do??? Other than giving us a horrible hair cut, I have no idea. We won't be going back there again...unless we can go there in the morning. read more

Took my 3 year old boys there. Three stars for one decent haircut (a nice older lady w/glasses) but 1 star for the other one (another lady). This lady wasn't as good w/kids in general and a tiny bit rough. I tried to tell her that I wanted the front a little long a few times so he wouldn't have a bowl cut. We left alright b/c his hair was gelled, but after he took a bath, he suddenly looked like friar tuck/jim carrey from dumb and dumber, dammit! They had a 50% off new management promotion so I would've been pissed if I had to pay full price for that cut. We went 2-3 years ago (w/nicer staff) and also got a bad cut. The quality just doesnt match the price. read more

First of all, this place is soooo cute- it's really perfect for kids! It's very colorful, bright, has all kinds of things that kids love- like TVs, video games, DVDs, books, etc. It even has rocket ships that the kids can sit in while they get their hair cut--which is so cute. I really love how clean this place is too--it makes me feel better to take my son somewhere clean and neat. They do a great job with cutting kid's hair (which is not easy!) and I've found that all the stylists I've tried are equally good. At first I thought it was a little expensive for a hair cut for a kid- but then after seeing all the amenities and seeing how much my son likes being there (which is a huge relief for me), it's totally worth it. read more

Went today for a haircut for my little one and the person in the reception area instead of checking us in, began mumbling something about an appointment. There were two kids being served and supposedly they were expecting two more clients half an hour later. It's ridiculous how he didn't even make the effort to give a new client a good impression of the place. Horrible customer service. read more
