Cartoon Cuts the Entertaining, Stress-Free Salon for Kids

I’m pretty sure my kids would rather clean the bathroom while eating dirt lollipops than get haircuts. And honestly, I kinda feel the same based on the way they react when we go to get haircuts and the numerous botch jobs we have endured over the years. Thankfully, this all changed recently when we discovered Cartoon Cuts, a fun, entertaining, stress-free salon for kids.

Cartoon Cuts was founded over 25 years ago by a busy mom of two active toddlers who hated getting their haircut. Sound familiar? She decided to start a salon just for kids, complete with televisions at every station, colorful decor, and even an elephant washing station. 6 million haircuts later, Cartoon Cuts is still the go-to salon for hair services for kids of all ages.

My kids don’t have the easiest hair to cut or style. One has super curly hair that can quickly become unruly and the other has very thick hair with two huge cowlicks. At other barber shops and salons, I felt like I got the brush off if I tried to point out these specifics and the cut was always the same (you guessed it - the bowl cut!). For the first time, the Cartoon Cuts stylist really listened to me and cared that my kids got the cut and style that was best for them. And it worked. Their hair looks fantastic.





In addition to the regular Cartoon Cut, Cartoon Cuts offers the Baby’s First Haircut, which comes with a first haircut certificate & keepsake lock of hair; Dad/Mom and Me Haircut; Braids, Blow Outs, and

more

. Cartoon Cut’s stylists are specially trained to work with children of all ages and needs, and many have undergone training to work with children with special needs. They can handle everything from cradle cap to lice prevention and have a full line up of salon products for purchase. There is also a good selection of affordable toys (Reward or bribe? You decide.), and bows, bracelets and other pretty things.



Join the Cartoon Cuts Cheaper by the Dozen customer loyalty program and after 11 full price haircuts, your 12th haircut is free! There is also the PrePaid Plan where you can Buy 5, Get 1 Free. If you have 3 or more children, then you will definitely love the More The Merrier program.



What struck me the most on our visit to Cartoon Cuts is the sense of care and loyalty that was apparent even to a first timer. Several of the stylists have been with the salon for almost a decade and many, many families have been faithful customers since bringing in baby number one in for that very first cut long ago. I saw hugs and high fives and care given to each client - and the parents - that walked through the door.



Now, instead of dreading their next haircut, my kids are already asking when we can go back to Cartoon Cuts. My only regret? Not discovering Cartoon Cuts sooner!
