Anna, the owner, is the best! She was incredibly sweet and kind to my wiggly and ticklish 3 1/2 year-old. She was very gentle around a head scar and did exactly what we asked. She's now in a new location and we are sad she's no longer in her other shop, but we are happy to support her wherever she goes. You can absolutely tell she's been cutting kid's hair for years. read more

Anna Marie was wonderful! Highly recommend Little Kuts. We took our almost 2 year old for her first haircut and Anna Marie made her feel comfortable, didn't rush into anything, and we had a tear-free, delightful experience! So appreciative of her patience, calm energy, and ability to engage with little ones. She has many different types of toys to keep them busy while she cuts. We will be coming back! read more

My two year old isn't a fan of haircuts, but but Anne Marie has the magic touch! She's wonderful with kids, I'd highly recommend her to parents of little ones read more

My son loves this place. He is not a easy boy when it comes to a haircut, we been to numerous places. But when he tried with Anna Marie, she helped him to be calm and enjoy his haircut. Now, he only wants to go here. And Anna Marie is really skilled person. She is professional and great with kids. Thank God we met her. If you are looking, don't waist your time. Go here and look for Anna Marie. You will be happy. read more

My son is deathly afraid of hair cuts because of the clipper sounds so I've taken on the responsibilities of either cutting his hair myself or letting it grow forever. This time I let it grow from my previous hair cut which I butchered so I decided to go to somewhat professionals. Little Kuts first of all always had a lot of availability. l called at 9 am and made a reservation for 11 am, very easy. This was my third time and I've never had a problem especially this being a Saturday with getting a quick reservation. They had plenty of chairs open. They have a nice play area for kids to wait in full of toys and they barbers, especially the one I had was very friendly and full of patience. My son cried but it wasn't a melt down and it seems he is progressing. Downside is it's a bit expensive for a kid's haircut but I think kind of worth it for seeing as my son doesn't like hair cuts in general. He is 3. It was 30 dollars for a fade haircut with comb over. read more

Little Kuts - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

We had a great experience here! The staff are friendly but more importantly know how to manage little ones. My son is almost 3 and is very squirmy and not too comfortable with scissors or trimmers, but Anna was able to expertly cut his hair while keeping him distracted. It's also exactly what we wanted. The atmosphere is engaging for the kids, as well, with toys to play with, things to climb on, and lollipops! We'll definitely be going back! read more

Little Kuts - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

My 18 month old takes a while to warm up so needless to say, I was nervous. However, it was not needed because Anna Marie is a pro and it's obvious she's worked with kids for a while. My son was so comfortable and calm. He ended up with a great first cut and it was a wonderful experience for my family. Cannot recommend Anna Marie enough and will definitely return for another fresh cut. read more

Love Anne Marie!!! She did such a great job with my 2 and half year old daughter. I love how she tried to make my daughter comfortable and engaged her the whole entire time so she wasn't afraid. This was my daughter's first hair cut, and I'm so glad I came here. I highly recommend it! read more

It takes a lot to get me to review on Yelp, so here it goes: We've been to Little Kuts before, and had an ok experience. Our 17 month old needed a haircut and they got the job done. What took us by surprise the first time was that we had to wait about 20 minutes despite making an appointment. If you're not familiar with their appointment system, it's insisted upon and they even take down your credit card information. Which brings me to our most recent experience this weekend. We made an appointment, we confirmed said appointment through their automated text, and showed up to Little Kuts on time. When we arrived the woman behind the receptionist's desk told us they were "behind" and we would have to wait. When asked "How behind?" She said two others were ahead of us. Two other appointments?!?!? Why make appointments then? Why send out a confirmation text instead of notifying us about the delay? We wouldn't make a big fuss about it, but it just bothers us so much because they make a big deal about making an appointment in the first place. We didn't stay - the place was packed and without any estimate of when they would be ready for us, it made more sense for us to leave. Don't waste your time making an appointment, it's unlikely they'll honor it. read more

Took my daughter for her 1st haircut. Abigail was great!! She is very professional, calm and patient. She offered toys and a lollipop and during the cut some cookies. Smooth and easy experience. My daughters haircut looks fantastic!! Highly recommend. read more

Son didn't get the best cut (would rate 3/5 stars) but the location is so close to home. We returned for another cut and place was closed at 4pm even though closing is at 6p. Came back the following week on Wed, same thing, They were locking up at 3:50p with 6pm closing time. 3rd time I called ahead of time and receptionist said they were booked until 6p. I walk by (we live in theneighborhood) and yes you guessed it, place was closed at 4p. read more

Little Kuts - Closes early a lot. I guess it's cool they put a sign up each time. - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

We've been bringing our 3yo and 1yo and love how comfortable Anna Marie makes them. She really takes her time with kids. She notices if they're becoming overwhelmed and makes the effort to help put them as ease. Always a good experience! read more

Anna Marie cut my boys hair. She was great. She let my son get comfortable in the room with some toys before starting and she played him some kids music on her phone. She was gentle and took her time so he looks good. I'm going back to Anna Marie for his hair cuts. read more

Anna Marie is the best! My almost two year old son was very nervous and did not want a haircut. But she was very patient, gave us tips on how to ease him into it, and gave him a great haircut. So grateful to have found her and this business! read more

Anna Marie is currently personally seeing clients; the salon reviewed by some people here had to close because of Covid. I was very nervous for my 21 month old son's first professional haircut. The few times I tried to trim his hair at home there was a lot of screaming and head shaking. Anna Marie was amazing. She answered my phone call promptly with a text and fit me in right away. When we got there, she spoke to my son and I with respect and kindness, answering my questions and agreeing to do a haircut I showed her a picture of. Every time my son decided he no longer wanted to be there, she quickly, calmly and effortlessly distracted him with words or toys. There were no tears at all. And the haircut was so good. We will keep coming as long as she will have us! read more

My daughter (who is almost 3) just got her haircut by Abigail. Abigail knew how to cater to her. She was patient, gave my daughter options, and made her feel special and comfortable. She trimmed her bangs (nice natural wispy cut) and was able to cut the rest of her hair just fine. Looks great. She even added on a beautiful braid, pink bow (that my daughter was able to pick out from a nice selection), 2 stickers, and added a nice finishing touch of glitter sparkle (from a spray) to her hair. In the end, my daughter wouldn't stop looking in the mirror and couldn't stop smiling. She definitely felt pampered by Abigail. read more

We tried cutting our baby's hair at 5 months and my husband who cut hair for many during his time in the army and during the pandemic gave up after trying to trim our squirmy and crying baby. It's definitely worth it to pay someone else to do it! Anna was able to see him within a week of calling and he got a wonderful haircut in under 10 minutes after several position changes and no meltdowns! Even after a month, his hair still looks great and we'll see Anna again when baby needs another haircut! We found free street parking on Union. If the front gate isn't open, there's also a entrance on the side with the parking lot. Anna's salon is on the first floor and has a window. read more

Took my child to a nearby "discount" haircut place and was not impressed. Came back here to Little Cuts - what a difference. They are experts with kids, and their haircuts are great. My son enjoys watching a movie while getting his haircut, then playing with some toys and getting a treat afterwards. Thanks! We will be back. Note: they don't take credit cards anymore, but with the speed and accuracy of their haircuts, and providing an enjoyable experience for my son, it's worth it. read more

Anna Marie was wonderful! My son had never had his haircut done by anyone other than his grandmother, however, she lives long distance and my son needed a haircut. At first my son was very shy in the new environment and with someone he had just met. Anna Marie helped him feel comfortable with the surroundings, the chair and the scissors and comb. By the end my son didn't want to leave with all the toys and activities around. And his hair looks wonderful! read more

My son loves getting his haircuts with Anna Marie. She's kind, patient, and works very well with kids. Not to mention, she does great haircuts! We visited the new location today. It was easy to find and we had no problems with finding free parking on the street. She was well prepared and made it a wonderful experience for my son as always. read more

We took our 1yr old for his 1st haircut and Betsy did an amazing job. Thank you so much for being gentle with him and always having a smile and talking to him. I am happy he did not cry or moved so much. Definitely recommend Little Kuts, they are friendly, have a nice play area, and they give a 1st haircut certificate + you can keep a little bit of your baby's hair. I am definitely going back. read more

Little Kuts is the BEST place to take your little child for a haircut! After trying a few places prior, I can confidently say that Anna Marie has a special gift for connecting with your little human and making them feel comfortable and safe. We started with her around 11mo and I wouldn't consider taking my son elsewhere now. I am grateful to have Anna Marie in our community, hopefully for years to come!! read more

Anna Marie was great with our toddler! She helped us figure out what cut would work best for his hair type, was very calm and efficient with the cut while he watched cartoons on her tv, and gave him a preview of each step before she did it (spray bottle, comb, scissors, buzzer). read more

My son is terrified of the buzzer clips and I've tried a few places already and it's just not a good experience. I came across Anna Marie's page and read the reviews and sW that other parents were having issues with their little ones getting a hair cut as well. From what I read, I could see that she has patience and that was enough for me to pick up the call and make an appt! There were still tears that were shed but she was able to give him a very nice haircut with just scissors! Then he had so much fun playing with all the toys she had available. She goes out of her way to engage and make my son feel as comfortable and safe as possible. I even jumped in for a trim because let's be honest, sometimes it's hard to get away to do things for ourselves. Thank you Anna Marie for a great appointment. See you next month! read more

The last time I took my son there will definitely be his last. I always ask for the same haircut. Keep it long on top and clean up around the sides. I would say that only 1 out of every 3 times, they get it right. The only reason I continue to take my son there is because there are not very many kids salons in the area. The only other one I can think of is the shaggy monkey but they are always booked. The last time we were there, the woman who cut my sons hair wrapped the cape around him to protect him from falling hair. The way she snapped on the button on the cape was rather than hold it between her fingers, she pushed it against the back of his neck to close it and the edges of the button cut and bruised him. He was sitting on my lap and started crying but I just thought it was because he was tired and didn't want his haircut. (Although he's not one to ever fight it.) Ever since his first haircut, he would just sit with no problems. When she removed the cape I saw the welt on the back and pointed it out to the woman. She said "oh. It must be an allergic reaction the the metal." I knew it was BS but didnt argue because I'm not a very argumentative person. I took him there one more time after this, I asked for the same thing (with a different stylist) and I noticed that she was cutting it way too short. I didn't say anything because what could I do by now? It's already cut. Then she combed it sideways with a lot of water and I thought nothing of it. It wasn't until an hour or so later while my son and I were out did I notice how badly cut his hair was. By now it has dried and not only was it short, it was completely crooked. It was a lopsided bowl haircut and even that wasnt straight. It was longer on one side than the other. His hair cut looked worse than Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber. I will never take him here again. I'll just take him to a regular salon where they will probably charge me double but it doesn't matter at this point. For those who want to see his haircut, I'll try and post it on Yelp photos for the business. read more

Little Kuts - His terrible haircut. Not what I asked for. And not even a good "bad" haircut - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

Great spot to take your little ones for a haircut. The hairdresser was very patient and good with my son. Provided lots of toys and distractions to help settle my two year old down. The haircut was also top notch. Would return again. read more

Went for the first time today and Anna Marie was wonderful. My son's hair is curly and she helped me find the right cut for his type of hair. She's definitely great at what she does and my son felt comfortable with her. She was the only stylist there and it was very peaceful and a good environment for kids to relax. And the cut was excellent! read more

Anna Marie started cutting my daughters hair at 2 yrs old and she is about to turn 5 now. Every time we visit she pulls out these tricks that she has up her sleeve to entertain and and position the child into the position she needs. My daughter has always felt comfortable and asks when she can go back to get another hair cut. The first time I brought in an image of a cut I wanted and she nailed it, this last time she just trimmed it and taught me how to do a twist hairdo that is now our favorite new do. Can't say enough, thank you ! read more

We are so glad we found Little Kuts, especially for my little girl's first haircut. We felt completely safe getting haircuts in an outdoor TiKi Bar transformed hair salon. My kids had so much fun that they want another haircut the next day. Thank you Anna at Little Kuts for the awesome haircuts and getting my kids ready for their photoshoot next week. We will be back! read more

Little Kuts - Mikki is great, she did his first haircut and we've been coming here ever since. - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Pasadena, California

Anna Marie delivered awesomeness every step of the way! We're new to Pasadena but our twin girls DEF needed haircuts. We looked up places and contacted some - Anna Marie was FAST to answer! Prompt Customer Service - like two minutes from calling - she gave us clear options for appointments. Done and done! We came in and she made our daughters feel special off the bat. She gave the cuts we asked for AND along the way, gave tips on how to deal with things in our lives like swimming a lot in chlorinated pools. She even BONUS - taught us Dads how to braid for the Summer. Then, get this: put "Mermaid" glitter in the braids which caused our girls to swoon with delight. Cheers and thanks to such a sweet and talented Owner! read more

Calming atmosphere for kids. Quick and reasonably priced hair cut. Parking behind the building through the driveway.

Went in today for my little one's 1st haircut and I was pleasantly surprised. They were accommodating and polite. Not over the top special but I like that they give you a 1st cut certificate. Nadia was very calm and definitely knows what she is doing. Little one got a little fussy towards the end but she was patient. Update: My 2nd experience was far from the 1st. Called to make a day of appointment and the gentlemen said to come in around 5:30 and if I can't make it to please call back and cancel. Around 5:15 I called as baby was being a bit fussy so knew it wouldn't be a good day for a haircut. I explained to him the situation and all he said was well now you are on a walk in basis only. And I told him well I'm sorry but thing happen with kids. He was like your phone number is linked to our system and that can't be changed. With businesses closing every single day... you would think they would care about customer service. They've lost a customer for life as I'm one to stick with place. read more

Because of the 15 minute time cap, my son's hair is unevenly cut all over the top, and it's shorter than it's ever been. First and last time coming here. read more

15 minute limit per cut. And they watch that clock closely. If you ask for a fix, you get 30 more seconds. The good is that some children require a quick cut because they're frightened or hyper. The bad is that the haircuts go wrong too often. And I understand stylist can have off days but it occurs more frequently lately. The cut is no longer important to the salon - moving kids in and out every 15 minutes is their top priority. We are not returning. Too many consecutively bad haircuts. read more
