We took our 13 months old baby for his very first haircut, and we had such a great experience! He did amazing and didn't cry at all. The salon is very kid-friendly and has lots of colorful visuals and distractions to keep little ones entertained and comfortable throughout their haircut. We were a little confused when trying to find the location at first, so just a helpful tip: it is located inside Sola Salons, Suite 13. We had a wonderful first haircut experience and would definitely recommend this place to other parents! Also, my baby got a certificate and a piece of hair to save as a memory read more

Ms. Chrisy is the best! Both kids go to her and she's great with them. Keeps them calm and does a great job with the haircuts. Love the whole setup and the kids do too! read more

Highly recommend! Chrissy did a great job with my girls' haircuts, and, just as importantly, the girls had a fun time at the salon. They are excited to go back! read more

The studio was so cute. Filled with distractions for my crazy energetic almost 2 year old. She was quick but patient and did the exact cut I wanted for him. This was his first cut and we're super happy with the experience. I expected chaos but he was distracted by the "Car" seat and the tv and the toy on his lap. Will definitely be back again. read more

Very cute little salon with lots of entertainment for kids. Chrisy is very skilled and efficient. There's a reason she books up so fast! Go here :) read more

Chrissy is wonderful. Kind and so accommodating for our son who didn't like haircuts and now does. Her shop is fun for kids and she always makes it enjoyable for them. We're so happy we found Chrissy! read more

Wow. After taking C&N to see Chrissy for a haircut yesterday evening I immediately knew why she received 5 stars on Yelp. She was super accommodating and offered to cut their hair after hours. Luckily for me there was a cancellation so we were squeezed in right before swim class. Not only is Chrissy super friendly, she made C&N feel comfortable right away. She's also really quick, while being precise. C&N both got their haircuts done in a little less than 30 minutes. We were in and out of there in no time. There's different cars for kids to sit on as they get their haircut (or regular chairs if they prefer) and a TV to distract them as she works her magic. While waiting, there's also mini games to play. I highly suggest making an appointment on her website in advance if you want to see Chrissy (she also cuts adult hair), especially in the evenings or weekends. You can make an appointment up to 8 weeks out, which I did immediately after leaving. She's that good! Her prices are reasonable as well. Tiny HeadQuarters Salon is located in Sola Salon Studios, so parking is plentiful. read more

I brought my 18 mo old son in for a mullet (here's a before pic). I showed her a photo example. She seemed confident, so I let her go to work and focused on keeping my son occupied. 10 minutes later, I looked up, and to my horror, she'd cut off the entire length off the back-left side. Realizing my mistake in not explicitly confirming "do not cut the back of my son's hair", I had no choice but to bite my lip and let her do the same to the right side. I've had to sit on writing this for 24 hours in order to let my anger subside. My son used to compliments on his hair constantly. He was growing it for 18 months and it was completely butchered in 18 minutes. Don't get me wrong, he's still a cute kid and I don't love him any less :) But now he's a cute kid with a bad haircut. I will say this: we arrived 5 mins late, and for the last 5 min, my son was getting agitated by the scissors and getting very squirmy. Given that, I dont expect perfection. What I do expect is that if my son has long hair, and I say I want a mullet and show a photo of one, you wouldn't chop off the back of his hair, or at the very least you'd ASK before cutting off 18 months worth of hair. And therein lies the root of the problem: The business model at this place seems built around quantity, not quality. A child cut should, all things being equal, take more time than an adults, not less. Because they don't sit still and you do. But she's got appointments every 20 minutes (which includes transition time), which is not enough time to ask questions or communicate properly, pay attention, and deal w/ squirmy kids. It leaves no room for error and probably leads to a lot of stress. I can sympathize w/ the economics of making a small business work. But given how infrequently a small kid needs a haircut, wouldn't you be willing to pay a little more so the haircutter could take their time? I know I would. If you aren't particular about the haircut, this place is fine. There are a lot of toys, movies, and other distractions. And the owner does love children. But if you want someone to ask questions/listen to what you want and take their time, I'd go somewhere else. Note: 1st pic is before, next 3 are after. Blond kid is an online photo I showed for the sample of what we were going for. read more

I relied on Yelp to help me find the right salon to take my son for his first haircut. I am so glad I did because I can see why there are so many positive reviews for Tiny HeadQuarters Salon. The salon is located inside Sola Salons with a large shared parking lot with multiple retailers. It was very easy find parking. I booked my son's appointment with Tracy. My son takes awhile to warm up to strangers so he was really upset at first. Tracy was so gentle and patient with him. She was willing to accommodate us by letting my son sit in my lap while she did the haircut. She went very slow with the scissors in case he moved his head or arms around. I was very appreciative of how she went above and beyond to try to make his first time a positive experience. On top of the amazing experience, the business owner even creates and emails out adorable certificates to commemorate your child's first haircut. I received mine this week and it is so adorable. I would recommend Tiny HeadQuarters Salon to everyone and I look forward to coming back to my son's next haircut :) read more

Toddler's first haircut was a perfect experience - great quality cut and a fun, smooth, easy experience. 120% recommend!

We had an amazing experience bringing our son here for his first haircut! Chrisy creates such a safe and calming environment (one child at a time, sitting on parent's lap, TV on), is so communicative (she seamlessly accommodated our shifting nap schedule), and is just an overall lovely person who gave our son a beautiful haircut. She's also very fairly priced and the appointment was so efficient. She even gave us little containers with his locks of hair and a certificate! We will absolutely be coming back for all his future haircuts! read more

Rasheedah was amazing with our two year old. He'd had a haircut at another place nearby that was disappointing and had Lio screaming and crying the whole time. Rasheedah had him racing in his little haircut car and totally distracted for most of the time he was getting cut. Took the trauma out of the haircut for us and him. We will be back! read more

It was my first time inside Sola Salons and I love the concept. We arrived in Tiny Headquarters Salon and immediately I thought it was kids heaven! Automobiles, games, snack machine... It was my daughters first haircut so I was not sure what to expect from her, but I came here for all the raving reviews. Just as I had expected, my daughter was scared to sit alone in the car because she didn't know what we were about to do. She's 20 months old and she has long curly hair. She had to sit on my lap having her haircut, but she had her cocomelon and snacks, so she was good! The haircut was so quick and she got a cute braided hairstyle after! I was surprised that she allowed Cristine to cut her hair, but at the same time, Cristine was so quick and gentle hands, I don't even think my daughter noticed what she was doing! After the haircut, we put my daughter in the car to get a picture and now she didn't want to leave! She was already comfortable, but there was a next customer so we had to go. We got a cute 1st time haircut and her locks of hair for keepsake. Will be back! Thank you for fitting her into your schedule! read more

Chrisy's set up is amazing! My son got his first haircut with no problems. He loved sitting in the barber seat shaped like a car and equipped with a steering wheel and sounds. She had Cocomelon playing on a big screen which provided the perfect extra distraction. When it came time to use the clippers, she knew how to introduce them so that he wouldn't be scared. From start to finish it took 15 minutes. Oh, and Chrisy is great with the parents. She gave us a little container with pieces of his hair and will be sending us a certificate commemorating his first haircut read more

My husband and I wanted to wait until our sweet girl turned 1 before she got her first haircut. Her hair grew in all different textures and lenghts so I was eager to even it all out. I searched for some time for the perfect salon that could provide this service and also provide a relaxed, calm environment for our girl. Finally, I stumbled upon Tiny HeadQuarters Salon. I loved the look and the reviews were great so I was sold! I was so nervous about how it would go because I have heard so many nightmare stories about baby's getting their first haircut. Thank goodness for Chrisy! On the day of the appt, we were running a few minutes late. I called Chrisy to let her know and she said it was no problem, to drive safely and she will see us when we get there! That put me at ease that she was already so warm despite our delay. Upon arrival she greeted us and started to prep our baby. Babygirl was not having it, she did not want to sit in the cute little chair; she just wanted to sit on me. Chrisy said it was not a problem and that she could cut her hair with me holding her. She draped us with the cap to cover our clothing but baby girl did not want that either! Chrisy said it was no a problem and only covered me. Our girl cried the entire time; Chrisy even put on her favorite songs to cheer her up but she was still in tears. Chrisy was able to still cut her hair and do a beautiful job despite the cries and fussiness of our baby. She did not complain, or even treat us any sort of way. She was kind, professional and got the job done. Once the haircut was complete, she styled our baby's hair and added a cute little bow that matched her outfit. We took a cute family picture which baby girl actually smiled and then we were on our way! Chrisy sent us a cute "1st Haircut" certificate to commemorate this milestone. We will definitely be back for future haircuts and we recommended this adorable salon to all of our parent friends! read more

The five-star reviews are absolutely 100% correct. Experience was better than I could have ever hoped for. I'd give six stars, if I could. Very quick, efficient, and friendly. Thank you! Will definitely come back. read more

Love it! Drove here all of the way from DC for the five star review for my girls' first haircut. It's literally a tiny salon, but they only work on one guest per stylist at a time, so it's a max of two clients. They just gave the salon a makeover and it pops with green and black. The two stylists are calm, pleasant professionals. The salon itself has toys, bubbles, arcade games, fun cars for clients to sit in (or regular chairs if preferred), and most importantly, two large TVs that can play almost anything requested with Disney plus and other options. The salon itself is in the back of the plaza, in Sola Salon. Try to get there extra early if you've never been there since I had to drive around a bit trying to find it. Then once inside the Sola entrance, it's like a set of indoor suites. Follow the hallway the whole way around (you go in a U) and you'll see the fun door. The haircuts were great, and the stylists asked both me and the girls what they wanted done. The cuts were quick, simple, and professional. I think my favorite part is they offered to braid the girls' hair at the end. The girls both had smiles from ear to ear! We will be back, thank you! read more

I took my daughter for a haircut at Tiny Headquarters and was totally shocked to discover that they do not follow even the most basic covid protocols-- vaccinations for staff. When I found this out, my immuno-compromised daughter was already halfway through her haircut, and I let Miss Chrissy finish. In retrospect, I probably should have grabbed my kid out of the chair and left right away-- half a haircut and all. I am totally shocked that a business that caters to children would have so little care for their safety. My daughter is healthy, but I feel like we got lucky. We won't be back. read more

Took my son to get his hair cut for his first birthday, and our stylist was very kind and informative. She took her time assessing what we were looking for and made sure my son looked his best. She was quick and her prices are more than reasonable. We will be back! read more

Our daughter's first haircut was so great because of Chrissy. She was so calm and friendly, and so fast. Our two-year-old was distracted by the chairs and the cartoons, and then didn't want to leave! We also got a container with her hair, which I was so thankful for. I can't wait to bring her back read more

Tiny HeadQuarters Salon - First haircut! - Hair Salons Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Tracy did my son's haircut. She is very calm and patient with him. She didn't rush us and always made sure that the cut was what we wanted. The salon isn't very big, so I am glad only one family was allowed inside. She also had her masked on. This establishment accepts cards and tips are cash. My son had a great experience as did my husband and I. Glad we found this place and will be back for future cuts. read more

Really cute salon and the owner was great with my daughter. She's friendly, professional, and seemed like a great person. Appreciate the small style salon as well with one customer at a time. read more

So professional! Such a great 1st haircut experience for mom, dad and son! You can tell Chrisy has been doing this for a long time.

So, I scheduled the haircut for right after my 2.5 year old son typically wakes up from a nap. He decided to wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and I have given myself no time to calm him down before the haircut. Needless to say, I was worried how he'd do during the cut. He was a little powder keg just ready to melt down over any little thing. But Chrisy was fantastic with my son. The salon is a super fun place for a kid, and he loved the variety of seats (he chose the police car with the steering wheel). Chrisy was sweet to Bradford and communicative with me throughout the cut. And she was super gentle dealing with the knots in his hair. In fact, he didn't cry or get upset once during the whole thing. I daresay, it was a completely stress free haircut. Highly recommended. Go book today. read more

Great little find for my girls. The small salon is appointment only. There are TVs and toys for distractions & with no other kids in the room helps for sure. My kids felt special and attended to. The haircuts were just as we asked for, not too much, since I'm allowing them to grow it llong, but definitely needed some tlc. Before & after photos attached. read more

Great salon, will get 2 kids in and out with 0 fussing in 25 minutes. She has video games, tvs, lollipops, car seats to help calm those tiny nerves. My kids request haircuts now. I feel bad giving this review because now the more people that read positive ones will cause her time slots to fill up. The only issue is that you have to schedule at least 2 weeks in advance because she books up so fast. read more

Chrissy was absolutely wonderful and operates in a clean space. Our son's haircut was fantastic and more so, she had a gentle touch that kept him calm and having fun. Further, she was very thoughtful and made sure to ask questions about our preferences. All in all it was an enjoyable, memorable experience and we will definitely be back for more haircuts! read more

I took my soon for a haircut today, my first time visiting Miss Chrissy, and it was a great experience. She has multiple chair options for the little ones- a motorcycle, white car, and black car.

If you are looking for something more artistic and creative than just your staple crew top cut, this is the place to go! Chrissy knew exactly what I wanted. looked at my photos I brought as examples, and really listen to me. She gave my son a non-generic haircut that was absolutely perfect for his very first time (he's almost 3). She made the experience fun with giving him his first haircut certificate, setting aside a lock of hair for the memories, and paused for lots of photos. Her salon is filled with tons of fun distractions for the kids. I can't highly recommend her and her salon enough! read more
