Mimi, Annie, and the team have always done such a great job on my twin boys. We have been going here for years and if you know anything, I rarely write reviews. However, it is well past time and I should not keep this hidden gem a secret anymore. Kinder Cut is not only a great place for a stylish cut for babies, toddlers, kids, but also for adults. I also cut my hair here, first for efficiency and time saver, now because they give me a quality cut for an affordable price. The salon is also a fun vibe for children. It's colorful, has wall stem toys, and has a floor projector games for kids. I highly recommend this place and have been going here for years and plan to do so for years to come. read more

This place is the worst i will never bring my kid here anymore. It was our second experience, but my child just hate it and cry all the time due to the rough treatment. Full of angry ladies hating their lives and their jobs, I can't believe they work here cutting hair for kids. If I can put 0 stars I would. read more

I've been coming to Kinder Cuts for several years, which is why this is disappointing to write. I have a child on the autism spectrum, so consistency and timing are very important for us. There was a serious incident where a stylist cut both of my son's ears and he was bleeding, and it was brushed off like nothing happened. I had to step in and ask her to stop. That alone was very concerning. On top of that, appointments have become extremely unreliable. I always call ahead to avoid long waits, but we've been delayed 30+ minutes multiple times, which is very difficult for a child who cannot tolerate waiting and can have meltdowns. Most recently, I was told 15 minutes, but it went well past 30 with no clear communication, so I had to leave. I basically just got up and left. I will not come back. read more

The service here is always amazing! The lady's are the sweetest they make me feel welcome every time! They don't treat me just like a client! My boy comes out handsome each appointment! They make sure we are satisfied. No complaints! So glad we found a trust worthy children's salon close to us! Forever our home for haircuts! read more

We love this place! Never a long wait but if a little busy it's okay because their play area is great! We especially love that they can do a great comforting scissor cut for our child who doesn't like loud noise (he's autistic) unlike other places we've tried, it's not overstimulating and loud! It's also not crazy bright or severely busy with 20 people cutting hair.... As usual they did great! They have many clean cars or other seats for them to choose from and a kids show on the tv.... All around great experience and they have a points system for a discount. Very sweet professional staff as well and plenty parking! read more

I previously had Kim who was amazingly patient and caring to my son on the spectrum. The only additional support he needs to his haircut Is patience from the Barber. We went through a few barbers before being Kim's regular client. 1 of the 2 barrbers working this very morning reminded me that she didnt want to cut his hair because she had a bad experience (2 years ago) with him in the past. I asked her if she even wanted to try. She recited the bad experience from 2 years ago once again before telling me its up to me. I didn't feel confident in her patience so we left. My son has been a regular customer of this establishment since he was 2 years old. He's 9 now and it's kind of sad that this is the way we end this relationship. If anyone knows where Kim or Ann went, those were their best barbers. Let me know plz read more

We've been coming here for a while, and Mimi is the only stylist I trust with my 11-year-old's hair. He's very particular about how his haircut turns out, and Mimi always takes her time to make sure it's perfect. She's patient, kind, and really pays attention to the details. The wait time is always short, which is a huge plus! If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and does an amazing job with kids' haircuts, ask for Mimi, she's the best! read more

I am extremely dissatisfied with both the haircut and the customer service at this salon. If I could give it zero stars, I would. My daughter needed a haircut, so I scheduled an appointment for Monday at 4:30 PM with Ngan Kim. When we arrived, the receptionist saw us but walked away to assist another client. She stood at a barber chair and shouted across the room for us to "sign in" without even asking if we had an appointment. We ended up waiting for about 17 minutes past our appointment time. Normally, I wouldn't mind a short wait if it were busy, but this was a Monday afternoon, and they weren't busy at all. When Ngan finished with her previous client, I waited in line as she rang them up. During this time, she didn't acknowledge me at all. When she finally finished, I politely asked if they prioritize appointments or mainly take walk-ins so I would know for future visits. I explained that we had an appointment 17 minutes earlier and asked when it would be our turn. Ngan bluntly replied that she could take us now, without offering any apology or reassurance. As she worked on my daughter's hair, she was noticeably unkind and rough, even though I was right there. Children can be fidgety, which is exactly why we chose a salon that advertises itself as specializing in kids' haircuts. Initially, I planned for my daughter to get a full haircut, but after experiencing the poor customer service, I decided to only request a bang trim. Ngan loudly informed the store owner and coworkers that my daughter was just getting a bang trim and then called me something rude in Vietnamese, not realizing I could understand everything. To make matters worse, Ngan didn't even wet my daughter's hair before cutting. The result was a choppy and uneven trim. When I asked her to fix it, she kept cutting it shorter and shorter, completely ruining her bangs. She even tried to blame the uneven cut on a "cowlick," which my daughter doesn't have. As a licensed cosmetologist, I know I could have done a better job myself, but I wanted to treat my daughter to a salon experience because she enjoys it. Furthermore, after Ngan finished the trimming, she didn't even bother to dust the hair off my daughter's face. I had to grab a tissue to wipe them off myself. By then, she had already walked away, showing no concern at all. While I didn't say anything, it certainly left a bad taste in my mouth. Unfortunately, this visit was a complete waste of our time and money. I do not recommend this salon, especially the stylist Ngan. She didn't even deserve a tip. read more

I took my 22 months grandson for hair cut and I showed her the picture and asked her to keep 1" and half longer , she said OK yes but she used the clippers and finished the hair cut in 5 minutes and it's all uneven. She was not ready to listen. My god never ever I will go there . Plus if anyone goes be careful, who uses the clippers without guard on him on his neckline . Such a horrible job. It was Kay. read more

Took my 6 month old for his first haircut and they were amazing. They have a cute 1st haircut package, where they save the hair as a keepsake and give the baby a certificate. Perfect environment for an infant to get their haircut. They have cute kiddie cars and the hair stylists are so friendly. recommend! read more

First time coming here we walked in got help pretty fast Z , I've always heard great things about it ! The service was friendly , very nice people. I requested a comb over and she did great ! Especially with my son moving a lot and crying she works around it ! I was so amazed on how patient she has ! You can tell she's gone through this! So if you have a little one that is a cry baby or doesn't let them cut their hair Come here ! Definitely will be comming back . We liked the little play area ! You definitely feel welcomed and not shamed and that's something every place should feel like . ESPECIALLY with a crying kid lol read more

I took my daughter for her first haircut with Kay. She did such an amazing job getting the face frame cut. I recently scheduled a second appointment because my daughter's hair grew so fast! read more

Never again! I never really cared for this place but my kids seem to enjoy it and my son, who's autistic, really loved this place. Never cried here. The haircuts were decent. But after yesterday no more! There was three ladies in there. One stopped cutting hair to clean up around the shop. While she was cleaning up the shop, she goes to the back of the store where me and all of my kids are playing on the little jungle gym, they have back there, and there's a piece of the foam mat that I guess was apart from the rest so that the lady saw my kids playing and just pushed it off to the side no big deal. The other lady who was cutting some kids' hair, turned around to stop what she was doing to be nosy to what the other lady and my kids were doing. She was mad she was pointing at my kids and I don't know what she was saying in her language to the other lady.But all of a sudden, she starts going towards my kids and says, in a very angry voice/tone move it, please! Just because you put the word please at the end doesn't mean that you're not being rude. My kids did move, but so did I i got up, went over to her and told her to never speak to my children that way. She said, I said, please, I said. Please stop talking to my effing children like that! I used the word please does that sound nice? She did a half apology, because everybody was staring at us! I walked out and told them I would never be returning with my five children! read more

Had a great visit at Kinder Cuts today. my son's hair looks amazing. Mimi was fantastic and very patient.

Our go to place for kid haircuts. It's a tough job, but the employees always do a wonderful job, are nice, and try to make it fun, even when the kids are not cooperating. I appreciate their work! And the car chairs, toys, and lollipops are a plus! read more

I have been taking my son to this place for haircuts since he was a baby, he is now almost 8 years old. Mimi is wonderful! She is patient, kind, and does a beautiful job giving my boy a handsome haircut. For years he was afraid of the hair trimmer and she took her time with him building trust with him and just using scissors until finally she was able to use the trimmer without him crying. She worked magic! We ended up moving up to Brentwood and made the long drive all the way down to San Jose every time he needed a haircut because of her excellent service. She is worth the drive! We recently moved out of state and we will come back to visit her, and get a cut (I've had her cut my hair too!) every chance we get. Thank you Mimi! You are the best! read more

Beware! Do not go here for kids haircuts, I repeat, do not go here! My son and I went to this place and had a bad experience. We just wanted a trim but she kept cutting his hair more and more. She wouldn't listen to us and I really wanted my son to have a great experience like I did when I got my haircut here when I was little. Completely different owners and it's just not the same. Now I have to go somewhere else to hopefully fix his hair, oh well lesson learned. read more

Been here once before and my son likes here because they have kids TV show while getting the hair cut. But this time is terrible , the lady is Roughly shaving my son's hair , and my son call out said is hurt. The lady is very impatiently and said is not hurt. Come on?? Give a kid hair cut, at least someone has to be patient and nice . We will not going again, I rather to find some place is nice to the kids. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would... I was referred to go here by a friend. I REGRET IT. my son had beautiful hair. I showed the lady pictures of what I wanted for both boys. their hair came out horrible. SO SO SO CHOPPY. Bangs straight across their faces and not their hold head of hair was uneven and just plain horrible. this place does not know how to cut hair. I am very disappointed at how bad their hair cuts were. I even went back to ask for a refund and they wouldn't help us, only to fix it but no way would I ever ever ever ever come back here. I still want my refund. I had to go pay so much more money to fix it at another salon. read more

First Haircut for my baby girl! So I was very nervous! But, I couldn't believe how at ease I was by the absolutely PHENOMENAL customer service, AMAZING hair cut (EXACTLY what I asked for), and WONDERFUL interactive place to take your kiddos to get their haircut! They even saved me a piece of her hair and gave us a certificate to remember this special first time experience! Thank you SO MUCH Kay!! We can't wait to come back! read more

Excellent excellent service no matter who your stylist is. I highly recommend Kinder Cuts for all special needs families! They are considerate, kind and very patient. Because my kiddo has special needs, there was a time he was anxious during our appointments. They have always encouraged us to come back so he could get used to the process. Now he doesn't mind haircuts, thanks to all the stylists who have been patient with him. read more

Came here this morning to see of I can get my son haircut fix from other place there messed up his hair. This place is insane. Lots of people and long line. I would recommend making an appointment if you can. $20 for a kids haircut is kind of pricey. Kim was the lady we got. She not so friendly and I felt she had no patience. Haircut came out ok. Not sure if I would be coming back. read more

Do not go to this place as they will scam you. I was quoted $80 for a hair coloring service for my child over the phone. We showed up at the appointment time. After my child was ready and seated in the chair, i was told that the charge was $250. Expectations were already set for my child and it was hard to walk away. I ended up having to pay the full $250. Beware of this place. It is a scam read more

Excellent experience for the first haircut of our 19 month old daughter! She enjoyed the music and decoration of the salon and didn't cry! We were expecting a super tough time, but it ended up with an easy job! Credit goes to Kim who was super nice, fast, and clean! She recommended to put the baby on the lap so she feels comfortable and it was absolutely the best way for the first hair cut experience. Thank you Kim and the team! Excellent job! read more

Kay was super passionate an care how my son was scared at first but he let her cut his hair an was super quick. Awesome job thanks we will be back. read more

I can't even express how happy I am that we found this place. Everything was SO fast, our appointment was at 4:30pm, we were out by 4:40pm! We even waited for a little bit and honestly I think letting my son play with the toys and get a feel for the store made him more comfortable to sit for his haircut. He chose which car to sit in, and she got started on his hair right away! There's so many things in the store to distract them like other cars to sit in, the tv, toys, paintings on the walls, and of course other kids getting their hair cut too. She was SOO fast and I'm so impressed with his hair! Of course he doesn't have a perfectly straight line up or anything but its a kids haircut! He didn't cry at all because she was so fast he didn't even have time to register what was going on. It was $25 and they prefer cash tips. Definitely recommend this place read more

I came with my 10 month old son to get him his first hair cut. Many friends and family told me about this place and how great it was so we decided to give it a shot. We first checked in on their iPad and waited to be called. Once it was our turn, the lady told us to pick where we would like for our son to get his hair cut and we picked one of the cars. She asked if it was his first haircut and we said yes and she was nice to give us a lock of his hair and a first haircut certificate. The downside was when she asked us how we wanted his haircut . I explained I wanted a number on top and another number on the side. She said, "what do you mean? I don't understand with numbers" Um ok. Then she said I should have come in with a picture of what I wanted. Why can't I explain it? I tried explaining it and she kept saying she wanted a picture. So I find a picture and she gets cutting. The haircut itself was great and she did a wonderful job. I just felt like it was a factory. One kid was done and NEXT! They would clean but Not disinfect between children. read more

I told them I wanted them to give my son a trim and they instead cut his whole hair off. My son started screaming and she just didn't care. She didn't try to calm him down, clearly it was too much for him so I carried him in my arms and she kept trying to cut his hair. I had to tell her to stop and give him a break. The haircut was horrible and they shouldn't be cutting kids hair! I would give negative stars if i could read more

Disappointed in this place. My son is two years old and he hates haircuts. We've been to this place three times and the lady that usually works there was really patient despite his tantrums; however, today was not the case. It was a different lady that worked and she could not handle my son. She gave him a HORRIBLE haircut. (See photos) There are bald spots, long hair sticking out, and uneven layers. She had the audacity to blame it on my husband that "Next time, hold his body tighter." We will not be back. read more

They are kind, encouraging for the kiddos who are a bit scared and quick! This is our go to spot for our kids haircuts :)

First time coming here and first thing I noticed was a fan on? Hello Delta Variant is spread via the air why it that on? The second thing I noticed is the place did not look that clean at all with hair everywhere and hair on the seat my daughter sat on. The lady spoke in her language while she cut and was a bit rough with my daughter. Haircuts were ok but I was not wowed. The cost was $20 per cut. As we went to pay the lady who wrung us up took off her mask behind the plex glass WTH!!! I ran out of there! I don't recommend going here for a haircut since we did not feel safe at all! read more

Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2015 Kinder Cuts is my go to place to have my toddler's haircut. Ian had his first haircut when he was one year old in Los Gatos with his Lola Beth; his second haircut was at Kinder Cuts. Kim is the only hairstylist at Kinder Cuts that has cut my son's hair. She is careful, precise and does an amazing job of cutting hair when he was a little one up until now. The entire shop is clean and well maintained. Upon entering you'll see the front desk and on the right you'll see the area where they have hair products for sale, on the left is the waiting area for the parents and kids with a tiny activity table. In the middle of the shop there are cars for boys and girls that your little one will sit inside when they get their haircut. They have this fun activity area towards the back of the right hand side of the shop with puzzles, books and toys. On the left hand side area of the shop in the back they have play structures with slides etc. They very back of the shop is an extremely clean restroom with changing table for those who have little ones in diapers. Moms and Dads can get haircuts here too (though we've never tried it out). Kim is the main reason I come back here because she's a fantastic hairstylist and works hair magic with my little one. I love the welcoming environment, the cleanliness and the televisions that play kid friendly movies which keep everyone entertained. This is definitely a favorite in my Yelp Notebook! Noelle's Notes Request Kim- she's the best! Reasonable prices Family friendly environment read more

They charge more than it states on the service menu and up charge even more if you use a credit card to pay. I went in with my 7 year old for a simple cut and the menu said $25. I was charged $27 for a "scissor cut" and apparently they charge more than stated on the menu for that. I was charged even more because I was paying with a credit card. During expensive times like this, I just want honest prices and no surprises. The cut was fine, nothing special. read more

Surprisingly bad experience just now, compared to my first experience. Lady opening was rough with my child. I arrived at 10:25pm they open to the public at 10am. Lady there was not prepared or ready for the day at all. Lights were off and nothing was prepared at the front desk, I even had to turn on their iPad and log into the check in app for the lady. The employee arriving late to work isn't my fault, totally on her and bad for the owner since her employee can't even open on time. My son hates haircuts (he's 2 what do you expect), didn't help the situation by being rough and holding his head forcefully. Then afterwards she proceeds to tell me I need to hold him tighter on the body to hold him down for next time. Seriously?! I literally wrestled my son to keep him steady for you. I would have gone to Angel Cuts on Branham and Meridian but the lady we like was on vacation so I came here instead. Usually I Tip these women $20 on top of the $20 price for the haircut. This is the first time I tipped only $5 I would have tipped $0 but that isn't me since I'm not heartless. I understand these women probably work for low wages. But how they treat the children and the parents greatly will influence their tip range. To the owners please educate and develop your team with their interactions with young ones especially the ones already afraid of the haircuts. And check in to make sure they open your facility on time. That doesn't mean work starts at 10am. They should get their 15-20 min to prep and make ready everything so when 10am rolls around they are ready and not rushing around which puts them in a bad mood from the start. Unfortunately this will be my last time here with any of my children. Hopefully you all have a better experience then what we just had. read more
