What types of hair do you cut?

We cut and style all types of hair – straight or curly, thick and wavy or fine hair. Do you (or does your child) have hair that is challenging to cut and style? No job is too challenging for the stylists at Locks of Fun!


What makes your hair cuts special for kids?

Well, it’s not everywhere you can get a haircut in kids salon chairs such as a police car while watching a movie! Children can choose from kids salon chairs such as police cars to Barbie jeeps, from tractors to fire engines! Plus, they get their choice of a DVD movie to watch or Game Cube or Xbox game to play, which help to make the time go by faster. They’ll enjoy FREE popcorn and juice too. When they’re done, they’ll receive a coupon for a FREE special treat at a nearby store! All of these “rewards” make getting a kids haircut worth it for just about any child!

 

 

 

 


Why are there no mirrors in your salon?

We have found that, children who are upset during a kids haircut, get the most upset when they can see their hair being cut. So, we’ve removed the mirrors! Instead of mirrors, we feature flat screen television displays, where kids can watch their favorite movie or play their favorite Game Cube or Xbox game. Removing the visual complication and replacing it with a pleasant distraction makes a kids haircut more pleasant!


Enjoy the Play Area at Locks of Fun while waiting for a haircut

What can my child do while waiting for their appointment?

While your child is waiting, we feature a fun play area with a slide, as well as an interactive train table. Plenty to keep your kids occupied for the few moments while they wait their turn!
