About

The salon focuses on children and tweens. According to the salon, it has been giving haircuts for more than 24 years and has given over 10.5 million, and it reports that 97 percent of clients recommend it.

A standard kids' cut includes a wash, cut and blow-dry. The setting is built around play: children can sit in novelty car chairs such as a police cruiser, a Barbie Jeep, a race car and a Mini Cooper, and watch cartoons or Netflix during the appointment. Boys' and girls' cuts each come with a balloon and a lollipop.

For a child's first haircut, the visit includes a certificate, a lock of hair to keep and a photo. Parents can book a haircut or a wash and style in a private lounge while their child is seen. Appointments can be booked online, and the phone number is (224) 408-2097.

Older children and tweens have a Tween Lounge with Xbox stations. It hosts the Curls, Curls, Curls! service, which includes a minicure, a choice of glamour ring and curl styling, and the Day of Beauty package, which covers hair, nails and makeup for up to one hour. Children who feel anxious or sensitive to sensory input can prepare for their visit with an online custom social narrative.

The salon describes its environment as clean and fun-filled, and it plans its services around making young clients comfortable, including those who need extra preparation before a haircut.

A bright, playful space with car-shaped chairs, cartoons and a Tween Lounge.
