I've gone here twice now for my son and we've had a good experience so far. The place is clean and very kid friendly. The first time we went there was a discount for the time of day we went for, but that was discontinued. Price is a little pricy but I'm also not very familiar with how much kid haircuts are nowadays. First time we went my son was shy of 12 months and then we went again around 16 months. He cried both times but they were patient and took their time. I plan to go again and see how it goes. read more

This was our third visit, and we've been happy with the haircuts each time. They do a great job cutting hair, but we have serious concerns about equipment cleanliness between customers. After our latest visit, both of my kids began scratching their heads at night. We checked their hair and found lice on both of them. My wife later had lice as well. While we can't say for certain where they came from, the timing and the lack of equipment cleaning we observed were concerning. We ended up treating the entire family, washing all our bedding, and cleaning our couches and cars. It has been frustrating, expensive, and time-consuming. We hope the business takes this concern seriously and makes sure equipment is properly cleaned between every customer. read more

Revisit? Yes, cute spot for kid haircuts. Great experience here for my toddler's first professional haircut. As soon as we walked in, he sprinted to the salon chair that looked like a police car. He was so excited for his turn to sit. Then he noticed the toy corner and was totally preoccupied there. I liked how clean and tidy the store was. We had an appointment, but we weren't helped exactly at the agreed time. There were two stylists and we had to wait about 15 minutes for one of them to finish with a client. I think that's where there's room for improvement -- a different system for helping customers -- otherwise what's the point of making an appointment? But the haircut was so cute and just what I asked for after showing the stylist an inspiration photo from Pinterest. She was very gentle and my son had no problem following her directions to tilt his head occasionally. When the haircut is finished, kiddos are offered a balloon and a sticker. We paid around $40, which felt fair for the helpful, fun experience. read more

We had a really disappointing experience here. We drove about 20 minutes to get my son's haircut and then waited another 20 minutes, only to be told that they had double-booked the appointment and our name wasn't even in their system. Before coming, we had already messaged them THE BUSINESS OWNER on Yelp, confirmed their availability, and received confirmation for our appointment time. Despite showing up as agreed, the employee simply said we "weren't in the system" and turned us away without offering any solution, apology, or attempt to make things right. What made the experience even more upsetting was the lack of customer service. The employee came across as rude and dismissive. As we were leaving, we still made a point to say, "Thank you," but she didn't even acknowledge us or respond. It was heartbreaking having to explain to my son why he wasn't getting the haircut he had been looking forward to after the drive and the wait. We left feeling like our time didn't matter at all. If appointments confirmed through Yelp aren't honored, customers should be made aware before they spend time driving over. read more

We've been coming here for a year, the only place I'll take my 2-year-old boy now. The space is clean, and designed specifically for kids! The play area has been a life saver during wait times while the cars and the individual TV's at each station are a great way of distracting very fussy toddlers! My son loathes his haircut, and puts up quite a fit during the duration of it. We've had multiple ladies service us and each one has shown patience and grace to him during each interaction. Weekend and Monday mornings will definitely need a reservation in advance, but during other days, we are easily squeezed into someone's schedule! I do wish their hours were a little earlier during the week, but no complaints! He always leaves fresh and happy with his lollipop and balloon! read more

Space is clean and spacious. Not the cheapest but it really makes parent life easier and it keeps our toddler looking great. Highly recommend! read more

We just went here today for my daughter's first ever haircut, and i'm SO upset. We showed the lady doing her hair 2 pictures of what we wanted as bangs, she took a glance at both and mentioned one framed her face while the other didn't. We were very clear we wanted to go with the one that framed her face. She started cutting her bangs, and I tried to get her attention 3 times before she responded, which by that time was already too late cause she had already cut too wide across. I reminded her that we were supposed to do face framing bangs, and she agreed and showed me where she was going to start framing, which was nothing remotely like the photo we showed her. It took almost 3 years for her hair to grow out to a decent length, and a second for the wrong hair dresser to ruin it. & we paid for her to do it. I'm so angry, at the hairdresser for not paying better attention, and myself for not being on top of the hairdresser, (though I shouldn't have to). She left her hair wet cause my daughter didn't like the blowdryer, but she could've at least towel dried. She did a quick nail painting that left polish on her fingers as well. Overall, I loved how kid friendly this setup was, she played in the activity area while we waited and she even got to watch Bluey while she got her hair cut, I just really wish the hair stylist had paid attention or asked if she wasn't sure about the cut we requested, so we could've gotten the look we asked for. read more

My daughter loved her first hair cut! She got a full hair wash, a cute hair style, and to finish a mini manicure she felt like she had her personal spa day! Will definitely come back friendly employees. Cute salon, very calming and they had cartoons playing. read more

If you're looking for a clean, calm and fun place to get your kids haircut, this is the place to go. As soon as we walked in my daughter was excited to sit down in the cool car chairs. My daughter was calm and ready to get her hair cut, so there was not a lot of coaxing to do, but I could tell that the team was very patient and catered to kids because they spoke to her directly and asked her questions before asking me how I wanted her hair cut. They have a TV at each station and the haircut was fast and easy. Both the receptionist and hairstylist (Sommer) were easy to talk to so I felt comfortable letting the stylist know when I wanted my daughter's hair shorter or asking questions. Genevieve loved her haircut and she said she had "so much fun!" read more

Our 4 month old had THE BEST first haircut experience here!! Appointments were very easy to make. You can either call them or reach out via IG. I messaged the owner on IG and she was extremely kind, accommodating (we were an hour late) and patient. The plaza had plenty of parking for us and the salon was an experience in itself! You step into a playful safari that's crafted for any kid of adult to enjoy. Our baby is a bit fussy but we were relieved to enter a light and welcoming space. I shared my anxiousness with the owner about how fussy our baby could be. She did not look worried and expressed confidence in knowing how to handle the situation. She handled it SO WELL!! She was extremely warm, gentle and patience with our baby. Ms. Rachel was turned on and my baby's attention was glued to the screen LOL there were minor breaks in between our baby's haircut but we were in and out within 15 minutes! We were pleasantly shocked how quick and efficient the owner was. The best part- our baby received a "first haircut" certificate along with a balloon. Our baby left SMILING and I can't wait to return when her hair is long enough for braids! Thank you for taking care of our baby and making this such a memorable and pleasant experience! read more

My 2 year old didn't cry while getting his haircut when he usually does! Esmeralda was super nice and she was able to cut his hair and do his hair line without him crying! Will definitely be back! My daughter was pretty amaze as well she was playing and having fun while she waited for her brother. read more

We didn't catch the woman's name, but she spoke Spanish and she was great. She would ask questions throughout just to ensure it was to our liking (versus some other places we've been to where they tend to have a couple styles they stick to and know to do). She was very skilled with the trimmers, clippers and scissors especially with a 2 year old that can be tough. Great vibe for the kids. Highly recommend! read more

This was such a great experience for our 14-month old daughter. They have so much patience and understanding for toddlers that have a hard time sitting still. The kind stylist even did her hair after with bows and made her feel so cute! What an awesome place. We're so happy we came here for her first haircut and will continue to come here from now on :) read more

We moved from OC to nearby and we were still going to OC for kids haircuts until now! We even tried sharkez Cerritos and it was terrible. Brought by son here for a surfer boy cut and the stylist was incredibly helpful to make sure he didn't look like a girl! I find that it's hard for stylist to make the cut something boyish without a harsh cut until we came here! And my daughter loved her trim and was completely pampered with nails and glitter it was so adorable and great service overall. Will definitely be our go to spot! Not to mention it was incredibly easy to make an appointment and we didn't feel like a burden! read more

I took my daughter here for her first haircut ever, and am so glad I did! They were able to accomodate us on short notice and my daughter had so much fun from beginning to end! A very fun kid friendly environment where kids are pampered throughout! Super cute, I got a certificate for my kids first cut and was able to keep some of her locks! A very lovely and fun experience, can't wait to go back next time! Thank you for creating this core memory for me and my daughter! She had her hair washed, haircut while watching her fave show, hair do with bow, magical glitter spray for finishing touches, a manicure and ring to top it off, and every kid loves balloons and stickers! 11/10 would recommend you to take your kids here! read more

I made an appointment for my daughters a whole month ago for the first haircut treatment. I specifically asked if they do 3b-4a hair. So imagine my surprise, when I walked into the salon to ONE overwhelmed? hair stylist. No warm greeting at all, and immediate dismissal of her ability to accept us as clients. She stated she had back to back appointments, and even when I said we were one of them, she said she would be unable to complete us in time. I even asked if she would be able to do at least one child's hair. She said she could only do straight hair to "loose curls" and that goes for the rest of the staff as well. At one point she had even grabbed their head to take a picture of their hair to send someone, and asked what do you want me to do? We didn't stick around for an answer. Completely unacceptable, unprofessional, and a waste of our time. Needless to say, my girls were very disappointed, as we were all excited for the experience. read more

Our son had his first haircut today, and my husband and I couldn't have been more nervous. As soon as we arrived, we were warmly greeted and invited to let our son explore the space. He immediately loved the chairs since each one looked like a different type of car--police car, race car, fire truck, etc. Once he sat down, the haircut began. Our stylist (I didn't catch her name) was great. She was patient, careful, and did an amazing job working with our son despite his frequent movement and fussing. Everyone was so kind and understanding throughout the whole experience. We're really happy with how it turned out and are looking forward to coming back for his next haircut! read more

We took our son for his very first haircut at 16 months, and although there was a mix-up with our appointment, the staff was incredibly kind and offered us a discount for the inconvenience. Our little one was very scared at first, but the stylist was so patient, gentle, and sweet--she really took her time to help him feel comfortable. She did an amazing job cutting his hair exactly how we wanted, checking in throughout to make sure everything looked perfect. He got to sit in a fun little car and watch Ms. Rachel, which definitely helped ease his nerves. At the end, they made the experience extra special by taking a photo of us, giving him a balloon, a "First Haircut" certificate, and even a little keepsake of his hair. I have to give major props to the stylists--this is not an easy job, especially with squirmy, nervous toddlers. They are definitely pros! We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back! read more

The haircuts are fine when you can get one. But out of the 3 times we've visited with an appointment, our appointment time wasn't remotely honored. Running 45 minutes behind schedule is pretty egregious. Not even an apology or an offer to reschedule. Just a shrug and an oh well from the staff. If you're running so far behind, maybe text the client so they don't waste time getting their kid ready and putting them in the car? read more

Took my ver scared of haircut 3 year old on a Monday! He didn't care at tower places about lollipops, cartons or I pads, but eh didn't great here.

We went to Raffi's Cuts for Kids to have our child's first haircut done. The staff are all friendly and Summer (or Sommer, I forgot how her name's spelled and I swear I remember it being not the usual spelling) did an amazing job. Our little one did not cry at all and seemed very comfortable with her. The seat being a car and with TV on playing Ms. Rachel, etc also helped, I believe. They also gave us a certificate with a few strands of the first batch of the cut hair. Would come back for his next hair cut. read more

We had an amazing experience at Raffi's Cut for Kids! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly. My son absolutely loved the place, which made the whole visit stress-free for both of us. What I really appreciated is that this isn't a big franchise filled with nonstop noise and screaming kids. It's a smaller location with plenty of seating, and it was surprisingly calm. There were no loud kids running around, if anything, you might see one upset child here and there, but the stylists are so patient and friendly that the kids don't stay upset for long.The staff truly knows how to make kids feel comfortable, and it shows in the overall vibe of the place. We'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Raffi's Cut for Kids to any parent looking for a positive haircut experience for their child. read more

This was my son's 3rd haircut (he's 18 months) and hands down the BEST experience we've had so far! The whole environment is set up perfectly for kids--fun seats, balloons, and even a TV right in front of the chair to keep little ones entertained. Sarah at the front desk was so welcoming. She was friendly on the phone and was able to squeeze me in at the last minute. Bonus points for the TV set-up at every station because Sarah was able to distract my son with a show to settled down. Our stylist, Janice was great! You can tell she has tons of experience with toddlers. She knew exactly how to work with a squirmy kid without any mistakes or making the haircut too short. We've been to a regular salon that's not typically experienced with toddlers or a salon that was extra "bougie" that butchered his haircut and we had to shave it so we were nervous this time around. We're so glad we went here and definitely plan to come back here for his haircuts. Highly recommend this place for anyone with little ones! read more

I can't say enough good things about Raffi's Salon!!! I had scheduled a haircut for my 2-year-old daughter, who had previously only had her first mini trim done by her dad, so I was a tad nervous about how her first official haircut would go. We were welcomed with such warmth and friendliness that I immediately knew we were in the best place for this experience. From the kid-friendly environment to the genuine engagement provided by both Sommer and Sara, our visit was truly memorable and exceptional. My daughter got to choose where she wanted to sit, and she picked Minnie Mouse's pink car--which was perfect since she loves Minnie Mouse. Once in the chair (or should I say Minnie car), my little one started to whine, so the ladies put Mickey Mouse on to help calm her. It worked--until she noticed the scissors. She began the haircut crying, as it was a brand-new experience, but with Sommer's kind and gentle approach, my daughter was smiling by the end. Sara played a huge role as well, distracting her with a balloon, stickers, and a ring (all of which she got to take home). Sommer finished the cut by adding two adorable pink Christmas bows to my daughter's hair. The haircut and style were absolutely precious. Now, mind you, the salon was set to close at 5:00 p.m., and our appointment was at 4:30, so we were the last clients of the day. My husband was on his way to be part of the experience and possibly get his own haircut. Neither Sommer nor Sara hesitated to stay late, and my husband was able to get a haircut as well. Sommer did a wonderful job on his hair, and Sara kept our little girl entertained by playing with her while he was in the chair. It gave me a chance to sit down and breathe--something every parent appreciates. Thank you both so much!! I highly recommend this salon for families with young children. They deliver the high-quality service you expect from a salon, without the usual stress. read more

We came on the second day of opening. I brought my daughter here for her first non- home-haircut and she loved it! she chose a Minnie Mouse car to sit in for her haircut which turned out well and is growing out nicely. She also picked sparkly hairclips to get her hair styled, and was excited to get her nails painted afterward. The place was decorated with a jungle theme and very spacious inside. Pricier than I expected for a kid's cut but it included a good amount and I'm happy we found a fun place nearby to give her a "pampering" experience. It's been a month or so since we went and my mom has complemented my daughter's haircut on several occasions and told me to make sure I go back to the same place and find the same stylist (already forgot her name LOL) for next time. She must be good though bc another family came in while we were finishing up that had followed this stylist to her new location read more
