Gayle did a great job! She was warm and friendly with my son and made him feel comfortable the whole time. She really listened to what I was asking for in the cut. It came out even and she was reasonably priced! Would highly recommend! read more

Gayle is amazing! We went in for our son's first haircut. She did such a great job at keeping him occupied while cutting his hair. Even in moments when he would not sit still, she worked with it and was able to cut his hair. She also allowed him to "help" her cut his hair to show him that clippers are not a scary tool. Highly recommend Hair Bears and Gayle for hair cuts, including first time haircuts. read more

Gayle is the best of the best when it comes to working with kids. Our toddler had a less than stellar experience at a previous kids' hair salon and was terrified of getting his hair cut again. Gayle is patient, kind, and has such empathy for the little ones. Highly highly recommend! read more

Gayle is amazing with kids. I'm definitely coming back. No video games needed here, she loves to talk to the kids and the kids enjoy intereacting with her. read more

Had a great experience for my 3 year old. Very interactive. I love how she was explaining everything to my son as it was happening all while making it fun for him. Plenty of toys to keep children occupied and no need for screen time. Very reasonably priced as well read more

Gayle is great! Our son was 20 months old when he got his first real haircut at Hair Bears. Gayle took her time to show him the clippers and spray bottle so he wouldn't be afraid. He loves to sit in the vintage red truck and play while he gets a haircut. I'll never take him anywhere else. read more

100% come here. Don't even wait... just text her and schedule an appointment! Our toddler has had his haircut by several different people and places and Gayle is the best. For the first time, my son didn't freak out. If you just observe her interact with kids, you know that she's a professional at working with kids. She knows how to talk to kids and make the haircut more "fun" for them, especially toddlers! Not only was she quick to make my son feel comfortable getting a haircut, his haircut was really good! Gayle knows how to work with my son's swirl on the back of his head... first time ever, my son left a haircut without little hairs sticking out at the top! She's amazing! We will be back again and again! Thanks, Gayle! read more

This is the second hair cut we've gotten at Hair bears and she's very good with our kids. They're usually scared at first but they calm down very quickly with her friendly nature and fun personality. There's plenty of toys for the kids to play with while waiting their turn. She does adults hair as well so you can get a cut from her as well. It's the only place our kids have gotten haircuts from and unless we move away we'll keep going back. read more

It's my son's first time. I was nervous since I don't know how he will react to the buzz and cut. But, thank goodness he had a good reaction and a good experience. I appreciate Linda's patience and willingness to adjust and accommodate my little one. She's so nice and understanding. Thank you for making my little one look handsome and cute. Now, this will be our go to haircut salon for him. read more

Great work kids. She's got all the tricks to put your little bear at ease during the first few cuts. Now he LOvES going to get his haircut.

My son has been a wiggly, crazy, catastrophe everytime I have gotten his hair cut before but not here- he was great! Gayle was phenomenal; you can tell she has so much experience and patience with little ones. I felt super comfortable and so didn't he. He only got upset at the end when I told him he couldn't keep the dragon he was playing with. The haircut is super cute and I will absolutely come back. And the price was also great; I would have paid double! Absolutely come here (only don't... because I love her availability) but seriously do! Because she's fantastic! 10/10 highly recommend. read more

Gayle was awesome with our 8 year-old grand-daughter and made her feel at ease getting her hair trimmed. She talked to her one-on-one giving her hair tips, chatting about school and just being really friendly, like she's know her for years. I will definitely return for the next cut! This is a very small salon so you feel like you're getting all the attention, love it! read more

Hair Bears is our go-to spot! Lynda always does my son's hair and is so sweet and fun to chat with. She is so great with little kids, especially toddlers, and totally helps my son overcome his nerves. Getting his hair done is not at all stressful anymore, and he gets excited now to see his "friend" for his cut and get his balloon and candy afterward. Call or text for an appt and they will take great care of you!! read more

My children needed haircuts so I called and they were able to accommodate both kids the same day. The cut for all children is $25. My toddler did so good for his first haircut. Both my kids loved their haircut and were happy with the results. Will return when they are due for haircuts read more

Gayle is the best with little kids! Very chill vibe and is really great at distracting the kids with her spray bottle of water. If you're looking for an experienced hairdresser with great results, go see her! read more

Excellent job taking care of both of my boys. They will be returning for their next haircuts for sure!

Great place for kids' haircuts! Have been here twice with my 7 yr old and 2 yr old. Both times had great results! The owner is very patient while cutting hair and extremely thorough. You definitely don't feel rushed. She definitely has a way with little ones to make them feel comfortable. And, of course, the results speak for themselves! Highly recommend! read more

Came because of the promising reviews, however the haircut was mediocre. You're better off going to a haircut chain.

So I have taken my son 3 times and the last time I decided it will be my last. There is a lady there named candy or cookie something like that idk but she did my son's hair last week and it didn't come out how i wanted at all and he wasn't even moving . She went up wayyyyy to high he literally looks like an army brat. She skinned him 2 spots so it looks horrible. There is hair around the ear still. The line up wasn't great. For the price I pay as a parent for my son's hair cut is $15 so with tip it's $20 and his hair cut has never been worth it. I gave 3 stars because they are good with the children and give them toys to play with and ballons at the end. The hair cuts aren't great but they do good with difficult kids. O need to find a better hair cut place for my son who sometimes cries but since he doesn't move I think his hair cut should come out way better read more

Gayle is great with kids. She has a little car that kids sit in to get their hair cut. She take instruction well. I didn't want it too short and she cut the length perfectly. Great people skills. Super friendly. Koa had been here a total of three times now. She has lots of toys to keep kids busy, a basket of lollipops, and a huge helium tank to blow up a balloon at the end for the kids to take. She's been cutting Koa's papa's family's hair for over 30 years! I'll be coming here for Koa's haircuts every time we are in town and will probably even schedule a visit to nana and papa Allen in the OC around it's time for him to get another hair cut! Thanks Gayle!!! read more

Absolutely fantastic children's hairdresser. Children's specialists are few and far between and Gayle and Cookie have been doing this for 30+ and are consummate professionals. They cut my hair from the time I was 18 months until I moved away to college and now they cut my son's hair when we are in town visiting the grandparents. I would wholeheartedly recommend you set up your own long term tradition at Hair Bears with your child! read more

Long overdue post. Gayle is excellent with kids haircuts- especially boys. Reasonable pieces and great cuts. Highly recommend.

Updating review because their price has increased from $16 to $20 for kids. Gail cut my boys hair and did a good job. The boys leave happy with their balloons!! She added on a $1 fee to use a credit card. This salon could use a good cleaning or makeover... read more

We found this salon on Yelp and took our son here for his very first haircut. This place is the perfect spot to take a young child who needs a haircut. They have lots of toys to entertain the kids. My son loved sitting the barber chair shaped like a old car. We will definitely be taking our son back here for his future haircuts. read more

Gayle cut my sons hair not too long ago and she was absolutely amazing. My sons the shy type but warmed right up to her and let her work her magic. Completely and totally thankful for the whole experience and her skills. We will be back!! read more

I've been seeing Gayle since I was a child - I got my 2nd haircut ever from her. And now, I'm a 29 year old man who is happy to puzzle all of my friends when I tell them that I still get my hair cut at a child's salon. Gayle is not only a friend, but she's great at her job. I always go early to hang out and chat with her, and she is great as she ever was with kids. She knows how to cut a screaming, thrashing about child's hair as if the kid was sitting still. Cookie has also been there since the good ol' days - and on a few occasions, I've gone to see her in a pinch. She's great, too. Both of them are just amazingly kind and talented women. The problem now? I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. The solution? I get my hair cut only a few times a year when I'm visiting Mom and Dad. read more

Getting kids' hair is not fun. But this is about as good as it gets. They have toys in the waiting area and the ladies who work here have the right blend of trying to distract kids or "tough love" to just get it done if they are freaking out - - and they are themselves unfazed by anything going on. They are only clearly invested in the community. I'll also add that there have been times we left our credit card behind and they arranged for us to get it after business hours, or when my wife forgot her card and they just told her to send a check. Highly recommend for kids. read more

First time haircuts for my 4yr old and 1 yr old, can't complain because everyone did a great job, my kids were in and out in less than 20 mins ! It's a small hair salon and has a cute little car full of toys for little ones, which works quite well. At the end the kids get balloons and lollipops ! Very satisfied costumer and will be back soon. :) read more

Love this place!!! All the stylists are super friendly and welcoming. My daughter (almost 2) has come here three times and we leave happy every time. I always leave with new education on how to style her hair and when I should come back for a new trimming. I do prefer Gayle to do the work, although everyone is very nice. They are quick, friendly, and my daughter always leaves with a treat. Definitely recommend. read more

Looking for a quick and affordable haircut for your small children? This is the place! Love the fact that it's been around forever, and the hairdressers have seen and handled it all--my screaming 2 year-old did not faze them! My 4 year-old got a perfect haircut, the toddler's was the best it could have been considering he was squirming and screaming the whole time (baby's 1st haircut). We were even given a lock of his hair in an envelope as a souvenir ...Did I forget to mention the awesome classic collection of toys at Hair Bears?!? We will definitely be back! read more

My son dislikes everything about haircuts and we came here today with Cookie and he almost started a tantrum when we had to leave . She did an amazing job and we will be back read more

I don't live in the area anymore, but I used to get my hair cut there regularly, and it was great. Wonderful place for kids: Gayle and the girls really know how to calm them down and get the job done. There are plenty of toys to keep the little ones entertained, and the whole feel of the place is like getting your hair cut in a neighbor's kitchen. Not all kids are controllable, though, and not all parents care to control their kids, so if screaming and crying bothers you (Gents), I'd suggest being the first or last appointment of the day. There's nothing quite as good as stopping by on your way home from work on Friday evening and getting a shampoo and a haircut from a pretty girl! read more

Amazingly smooth haircut! We brought in our one year old who was not having the best day, but Gayle was extremely helpful and patient! Definitely coming back! read more

Gayle is awesome!! She cut my sons hair for the second time today while he was screaming the entire time. Not only did she cut his hair perfectly but she was trying her best to comfort him along the way. It's not easy cutting a 2 1/2 yrd hair who is constantly moving. She had lots of patience and will definitely recommend mom's to bring their little ones in. read more

I love Kim! She's quick, friendly, and informative! We found her about 5 months ago when I wanted someone to style my daughter's hair for her baptism. We have returned to her for a first hair cut and trims! She's just super nice, very likeable and good with kids and does great hair...what more can you ask for! Take your little one to go see her, you won't be sorry!!! read more

I wouldn't suggest taking your child here. It's so dirty, the seat, the toys.. I am not comfortable taking my child here and would recommend it to friends. Nothing special about the haircut, so you're better off with a cleaner place and friendlier folks. read more

Have been going to Hair Bears since I was little. So friendly and always nice to catch up with the staff. Do a great job with kids, adults, and up-do's! read more

We LOVE this place for our little boys hair cuts. We have NEVER had a bad cut and the price is very reasonable. They are all sweet people and take time on children. Recently we saw Chelsea and she was AWESOME too! Would highly recommend. read more
