We can't say enough great things about KidSnips, especially Rashall. She's been cutting our son Braven's hair for the past two years and recently started with our younger son, Otto, right around his first birthday--and she has been nothing short of amazing. Rashall is incredible with kids. Not once have either of our boys cried in her chair. She keeps them entertained, works efficiently, and somehow delivers a consistently great cut while doing it. What we really appreciate is how communicative she is--she talks us through what she's doing, explains what she thinks will work best, and makes us feel totally comfortable every step of the way. We genuinely love coming here. And honestly... if I had hair on my head, I'd let Rashall cut it without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend. read more

This was our second visit. Our first visit was fabulous and the stylist was great with my daughter. However, our recent visit was less than awesome, Brenda seemed frustrated and seemed to have not worked with children previously to be honest. My daughter is an active 4 year old who likes to squirm and move. Prior haircuts, I could easily get her redirected with an iPad. It started with my daughter being uncomfortable with the hair wash, as the angle her neck was hitting the sink was uncomfortable and no towel was Put behind her neck , so it was Just skin on porcelain. Alright, no big deal on to the cut. I was very much involved holding her head still for the stylist. I could barely hear Brenda giving my daughter direction, so I'm not even sure My daughter could hear either. The haircut was longer in length than both my daughter and I wanted but I was just ready to be done at that point rather than asking for an additional inch to be taken off. Finally the blow dry, my daughter started crying as a result of the blow dry with the round brush. She doesn't normally cry with hair brushing or drying, so I'm not sure what she was feeling. Recommendations for more confident girls stylists would be appreciated! read more

Andrea did not listen to what I wanted for my son's first haircut. I asked her to keep it long, just clean up some longer pieces. She gave my son a buzz cut. read more

Over all not too bad of an experience but Be very careful, not the best haircut. But my son likes the place so I will be back. read more

Always a great experience at Kidsnips! My son is bad with the Clipper but they still made his hair look good even with him fidgeting. The distractions at Kidsnips are needed. Haircuts only take 15 minutes. Normally the kids get a free small toy they can choose but I've only been offered this once. So if that is what they typically offer then they should tell people. read more

Ms. Brenda and the front desk receptionist (I'm so sorry I didn't get your name) we're so sweet and patient with my daughter. It was her first haircut. She had a meltdown and was overly sensitive to being touched. I was going to just cancel the appointment but they suggested my daughter play with some toys and acclimate to the environment until she was ready. Took other clients for about 15min to allow her to adjust and then did an excellent job with the cut, despite her moving and having to move quickly to avoid another meltdown. It's definitely an autism-safe space and I will be booking in the future. Thank you! read more

KidSnips - Bob cut with Ms. Brenda - Toy Stores Near Me - Oak Brook, Illinois

We have been to this location for a number of years now (eldest is 11 y.o to give you a time frame) and we love the "First Haircut" experience. Today we had our appointment set with Rashall. The appointment was for a "shampoo and kids haircut". I decided to go with her only availability for today because of the mentions in some reviews here..and let me tell you. SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT. My son is 4 (soon to be 5) and hasn't let anyone touch him with clippers in 3 years. Today, her warmness and gentle demeanor allowed my son to feel comfortable enough to have clippers used and he didn't even complain- not once. Rashall was so sweet and constantly reassuring and checking in with my son it was such a joyful experience for all. We have definitely found our go-to stylist. Thank you Rashall for your kindness and engagement. You are phenomenal! Little guy was so happy with his fresh cut! read more

Haircuts for my kid have been a nightmare since his first haircut. Booked with Rashall for the first time and he was upset at first but within a couple minutes after following her advice he stopped crying and stopped trying to fight. Definitely best haircut he has ever had along with the experience. She is the most knowledgeable stylist with children that I have met and I'm so thankful I booked with her! Rashall, you are amazing and definitely made our day and cannot wait to see you again! Thanks so much!! read more

My wiggly kiddo who has been quarantined at home for 3 months during COVID was in desperate need of a haircut. I chose this location for a few reasons- 1. I wanted a place tailored for children. 2. Being in oakbrook mall, it is open air up to the store, which made me feel better about venturing out in public. 3. My friend used to work for KidSnips and I know they do a great job! I booked my appt online which was simple. The website encourages you to park in the blue garage, which has an elevator super close to their door. I was the first appt of the day. They had aomeone waiting outside who checked me and my son's temperature 3x each and asked a few screening questions. Debbie was the one who did my sons haircut. She was patient and skilled, moving quickly to cut the hair of a child who went right into stranger danger mode, having not had to interact with people in so long. He cried and wiggled pretty much nonstop but she handled it with ease. Be sure if it is your child's first haircut to book it as such- you get a certificate and lock of hair w a photo to take home! All in all, we--- ok, my child was not, haha- were happy with the experience and how the cut turned out! read more

Thank you Rashall for giving my 10 month old son his first hair cut! He cried the entire time and Rashall was such a pro. She was so quick, gave mini breaks if needed and finished the job. My boy looks so handsome. We will be back! read more

My 3.5 year old had a haircut with Toni. We were expecting the worst because he's hated getting them in the past, especially if we try to use the clippers. Toni was amazing! She worked with my son and was so patient with him. Not only did she give him a great cut, she was able to use the clippers and he didn't cry one bit. In fact, he was laughing and joking most of the time. Highly recommend Toni and will be going back to her soon! read more

My 2 y.o. son has been going to this location for a while now. We always book Cathy! She is great with him and goes out of her way to give him the best haircut. He always comes out looking so handsome and the short style he gets lasts a long time because it is so even all around. With a boy you need that! I enjoy carressing his round head after every haircut! Cathy is the best! He also usually gets a toy after, and the shopping/lunch afterward isn't bad as its in the Oakbrook mall. read more

Had an appointment at 2:30 with Rashall. It was my son's first haircut! We had such a great experience, Rashall was very sweet and accommodating towards my husband and I, allowing us to sit next to our son meanwhile she did his cut. She was very engaging and patient! We will definitely be coming back to her! read more

We took our son for his first haircut at KidSnips with Rashall. We cannot recommend her highly enough! She was so gentle and efficient with our son, helped us pick the perfect hairstyle for him, and gave us such a wonder first professional haircut experience. We will definitely be her regular customers! read more

Our 2.5 year old son got his first haircut with Rashall. I must say -- I had anxiety leading up to this day and I hated the idea of cutting his long wavy hair. Rashall is truly a gem. She is efficient and so great with children! You can tell she loves what she does. Lexie was also great in welcoming all of us, too. So kind! We live in the city but making the 50 min drive is worth it. Thank you to the folks at KidSnips for making my son's first haircut a memorable moment for us all. read more

Rashall has cut my kids hair for YEARS. We absolutely love her. So much, I have convinced my husband to get his haircut here. She has never failed us. We have even recommended her to all our friends because they get compliments on their hair. Will never go anywhere else. She's the best! read more

We had a wonderful experience at Kidsnips today! My son went in for his very first haircut at just shy of 18 months. I chose his appointment with Rashall based on other great reviews. She did not disappoint! She was great with him! She cut his hair quickly and checked in with us along the way to make sure everything was good! She even packed me an extra bag of cut hair for a keepsake I will be having made. We will definitely be returning! Thanks again! read more

Had a great experience with Sydney at KidSnips! She totally listened to what I was asking for with my son's haircut and made some suggestions as well. The set up in the store is great for kids (but be prepared, lots of toys for sale!) Overall a great experience! read more

Scheduled online for my sons first professional haircut. They were 15 minutes late to taking us in, with a 3yr old this seemed like a half hour. I was disappointed there were no TVs, but instead they had a tablet propped against the mirror, already set to Blippi, great. There have lots of toys available for purchase with prices going up to $50. The stylists were openly talking about what they had bought from the dollar store to put on the shelves.That being said, items are disproportionately marked up. I requested trim, to even out the backyard haircut I had done last. She went straight to the clipper length she thought was appropriate, and buzzed the sides and back shorter and higher up than I would have preferred. I had to interject to keep the top as long as possible. The stylist was not exceptionally gentle or patient. She had me physically hold his head to the side and down so she could cut around the ears/neck. For a 10 minute haircut, $25 is a bit much. The price seems to be a few dollars more than Snippets in Yorktown mall which has a better AV set up including salon chairs with video game activities. At checkout we were given a $5 off next visit coupon. It would have been nice if it were $5 off for first time customers who have registered on the website... read more

Rashall at Oakbrook is THE best hair stylist I have ever been to. She cuts my adult Bob style to perfection! I get tons of compliments on this cut and can recommend her highly. She also cuts my kids hair equally amazing! read more

Got home from getting about 3" cut off my daughters hair by Cathy. Washed my daughters hair when we got home and as I brushed it out it was shockingly uneven. There is a 2" difference in length from the left to the right side. Wouldn't go there again. The manager did reach out to me a few few days after the experience. They offered to have their seasoned stylists fix my daughters hair. Although nervous about bringing my daughter back, Debbie took her time and fixed the mess that Cathy had left us with. I appreciate kid snips professionalism and wanting to right the situation. This star rating I gave is specific to the haircut my daughter was provided by Cathy. Not by the seer I've I received from kids snips. read more

KidSnips - Very uneven cut by Cathy. What was supposed to be a 3" trim turned into over a 5" trim only on the left side of my daughters head. - Toy Stores Near Me - Oak Brook, Illinois

Do not take your child here if they have an aversion to the clippers- the stylist will complain the entire time. Not worth time or money.

My husband took my son here this past weekend to get his hair trimmed. They were able to fit him in last minute and did an excellent job with his hair. My son has thick hair and wanted a very trendy hairstyle. They exceeded our expectations. Thank you KidSnips! read more

There are no amount of words to show how amazing Rashall is ! We have been coming to her for over a year and she is the best! In the beginning with my youngest boy (who would always cry for every haircut) she was very patient and attentive to him, he's now so comfortable with her he sits in the chair alone and enjoys getting his haircut from her. She gives both my boys amazing haircuts every time and I'm a very picky dad when it comes to them getting haircuts! She is the absolute best and am so thankful we found Rashall! read more

Took our 14 month old son there last night for his first haircut. Honestly I was super nervous about it but as soon as we walked in I knew he was in good hands. We made an appointment and were seated immediately. He loved being seated in the fire truck and Ms. Cathy was super sweet, patient and efficient with him. We received a lock of his hair, picture of him after his great cut and a certificate to commemorate the day! I would highly recommend this place for your children! It was $22 and I gave a decent tip as I know this cannot always be easy for these folks to deal with our kids! Thanks Ms. Cathy!!! We'll see for the next one! read more

Perhaps I just hate hair cuts, even when my children get them. However, I wasn't a fan of my son's most recent hair cut. The staff is friendly enough, accommodating and helpful. Yet, my son's haircut was not similar to the picture I had chosen. I wanted to keep his 4 year old mane the same, but cleaned up and slightly shorter. She went too short. :( The establishment is very cute, where a child has the ability to "ride" in a car as they receive the cut. Add an iPad to the mix and the kid is happy. Yet, I don't like the prices($22 for a young boy!) nor do I like the results of my son's cut. I still gave 3 stars, though, as they gave my 7 year old daughter's first haircut where she was able to donate at least 6 inches to Locks Of Love. This haircut was free!!! read more

Today was another great experience with Debbie! My son isn't a huge fan of haircuts but she is so patient and kind and knows exactly how to handle my 3 year old. She takes her time and explains what she's doing as she goes. We come once a month and I am so happy every time. Eaaay to get an appointment and a wonderful and clean place to go! Highly recommend debbie! read more

4 stars. My heart wants to give 'em 5 stars, but my wallet didn't agree! We like this place. Even my hubby will get his hair cut, sometimes, for convenience. It goes like this: *Make an appt, arrive 5 mins early, pick out your DVD, jump in the fun kiddie chair, watch your movie while getting styled, jump out of the chair looking fresh and clean, pick out a toy, pay, and leave. My son has been getting is hair cut here off and on for about three years. We love Miss Keisha! She is speedy and the quality is top-notch. They do a great job here - especially with 1st hair cuts. They are good with the kids, take pictures, give you the hair in little baggies, and a certificate for the scrapbook! Well worth the money - it's an event! If I were to take issue with this establishment, I would be rooted in the price point and the availability of "qualified" barbers. It's a bit pricey for me and Miss Keisha is the only person that I would allow to cut my son's hair due to her depth of knowledge in Black haircare. Apparently, other parents share my love for Miss Keisha - ethnic and non-ethnic, alike - her book fills up quickly! This place is BUSY! So, I would suggest making an appt. Also, there are coupons floating all around that will allow your little one to pick out $3 in free toys after the service - never go here without it! This place is like a toy store that gives great hair cuts! read more

I could not be happier with an outcome of my son's recent haircut. Not only there was no wait time - I made an appointment 45 minutes before coming but that was the quickest and cleanest haircut my son got in a very long time. The stylist did amazing job not only communicating with me but explaining to my four year old what she is doing and he was going with it. We will be coming back since it was the first time since my son first haircut where he didn't scream bloody murder! Thank you !! read more

Needs to improve communications and clarify grace period policy. Also, respecting customers would be nice too.

They were really great with my autistic toddler. Super kind and patient. The stylist had a lot of good advice for helping my child get through the haircut. And in the end my kid looked great! Best haircut my child ever got. read more

I have never had such a horrible experience... we have been coming to kid snips in oakbrook for a few years. The last few months we haven't had the best experiences. There's a new manager that's been there on Sundays and just about every single time we have waited until our hair stylist has freed up. We always get there on time, even early most times. They always take others before us if a customer is late and make us wait, 15-20 minutes sometimes, but since we drive all the way to Oakbrook we have been willing to wait. Well, I guess they make exceptions as to WHO they are willing to see once they are late. The ONE time we are 10 minutes late, they REFUSED to let us wait and said we had to come back another day. Safe to say we will NEVER be back at this location!!! If I could give this place ZERO stars I would! read more
