We have been to Kids Snips before and it has been fine (over 10 years ago) This past week my toddler decided to cut her own hair, it was an absolute mess. I tried to get her into adult salons, but there were no openings, so we took a chance here. Jennifer was fantastic!! She took her time with me. Explaining what she thought we could do, how to blend it and make it cute. Showing me pictures and example. I was really worried but it turned out amazing and I will definitely be back to her! I am so appreciative of her helping me and my daughter out! Here are before and after pics. The choppy one is before and the adorable bob is after. Thank you Jennifer!!!

Love this place!! My son has his 1st haircut with Jessica, she is excellent! The certificate was so cute!!! I will definetly come backl! Thank you!

The hair stylists that work here are true saints! We took our son for his first haircut here. The stylist was so nice and patient with our son. He got to sit in a cool car and got to watch the cartoon of his choice. After the haircut was done, we were presented with a certificate “keepsake” when a piece of his curl and photograph of him post haircut.

I couldnt believe how smooth the process went for my son. It was his first hair cut and he is usually afraid of stranger. The lady who took care of him did a great job.

Very flexible and professional. Scheduling was easy, especially since I had to reschedule at the last minute. Stacy was so good with my daughter, I could not believe how [relatively] still she was sitting... But they certainly know children and have all the right distractions in place to make it a positive experience. Electronic tablet, cartoons, all sorts of toys... Many (if not all) purchasable. Oh, and we got to sit in a miniature police car with working steering wheel! We will definitely be back; the price is right, and the haircut was awesome.

We had requested bob cut for my daughter. There was no layering done by stylist Stella. She just chopped hair in 5 mins and said she was done. Not happy with the work for the price we had paid.

Jessica was great! She was patient with my hyper kids and really know how to cut. We just moved to the area and we’ll be back.

I love the patience they have, I mean I know its a place specifically for kids but they go above and beyond to do it right and as comfortable as possible for the kiddos

Good place to bring kids. They know how to deal with kids. They are fast and making a good job 👏 👍

I recommend booking with Charmie! My son is a worm when it comes to haircuts but Charmie did a great job! She was super gentle. Thank you!

Stacy was amazing with our 1.5 year old who cried the entire time. She did a great job and was very fast. Made a hard situation a lot easier. Thanks Stacy!

Really liked our haircut with Jessica. Our 2 year old stayed really calm with her and she did a great job hearing what we wanted and making it happen

We got our 10 month old a hair cut. The haircut experience and process was very easy but we were surprised at how unclean the cutting station was. There was a lot of left over hair on the seatbelt and seat and floor around the station our daughter was in. We had to several times ask the stylist to remove the hair and eventually I just started brushing off clumps myself as she insisted it was already clean.Totally understand the time crunch theyre under with social distancing requirements but was still surprised that large clumps of hair werent cleaned up between kids. Im worried about the cleanliness of the scissors/equipment if they are ok with the seats being visibly covered in hair.

We went here for our first haircut. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!. The hairstylist Nikki was in a hurry, guess it was the end of her shift. The experience left us ‘traumatized’. Our son cried and cried most of the time, turning all red, the stylist was cutting and cutting, even I told her to stop ‘cause we can do this another time. She even asked me: ‘why, is there something wrong?(felt some kind of attitude in her voice)Anyway I feel sorry for this, I really wanted to be a nice experience, we were so waiting for this day. I should have really stopped her, or maybe reschedule the visit with somebody else.

When I took my toddler there I thought they’d make him feel good, not scared. He had a big wound on his neck, the haircut was awful and all because my “child was moving all the time”- they said. The lady was in a hurry to get her next customer and didn’t even try to make the environment friendly so that my kid wouldn’t be so scared. I thought they were professionals but on the contrary! And also all the toys are for buying.

If youre going to have a policy of turning away clients who are 5+ mins late to their appts, maybe post that on your website or something. Thats a super rigid stance to take for a place that specializes in working with children. I knew we were a little behind schedule when we headed out for our appt today but if Id known the window was that small I honestly wouldnt have even bothered. Im sure one of your competitors will be more accommodating.

Jessica is absolutely amazing and does such a great job with both my daughter and sons hair every time. We enjoy going here the most for the kids haircuts.

Weve been taking our kids to this location for almost 10 years now and have always received great service. We are especially thankful now for all the precautions that they implemented. Our son is immunocompromised and we are quite nervous about going to public places with him, but felt very safe here. Definitely recommend!

Excellent service and my son had a lot of fun. The staff was very polite and addressed our questions.

We were 6 mins late for our appt this morning and they refused to give my son a haircut due to the strict 5 min late policy. They didn’t tell us about this policy over the phone and we were only 1 min late past 5 mins - completely ridiculous. They lost a customer for life

Great staff and good location to have haircuts for the kids. Got appointment immediately and the staff listened to give our son an awesome haircut. The toy selection may put a hole in your wallet.And like others said the toy racks crowd the place making it difficult to get around and very minimal seating to wait. Would appreciate few more chairs and a coat rack.😑

Very talented and are great with kids haircuts.

Made up their own rules and will no longer let in kids under 2 without a mask despite the CDC saying “Cloth masks should NOT be worn by children less than 2 years old or anyone who has trouble breathing or is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.”More frustrated that they didn’t make that clear before loading my 13 month old in the car, etc. and the woman at the front was stumbling with her words and made it uncomfortable and awkward like we were in the wrong. My family is strict about masks and follow the protocols to a tee to keep everyone safe but have yet to run into this situation. Unfortunate because we really liked Jessica but we will be taking our business elsewhere.

My son who literally just turned 2 barely three months ago was denied of a haircut from KidSnips in Arlington Heights. All because he won’t keep a mask on. He is delayed in speech and there is no way he will comprehend keeping a mask on. His daycare and his therapists recognize this and they don’t enforce him to wear one because he will get agitated. There is an obvious difference between a child who just turned two to an older two year old who has a better comprehension of following directions. Being in a business who specializes with kids, SHOULD understand that! I have never been more disappointed of the ignorance and lack of knowledge when it comes to this pandemic. Both my kids have been going to this location in the last 15 years. #thereareexceptionstoallrules

This is the most fun place I have ever seen for hair cut. My kid just got his first hair cut. The place is full of kids stuffs and they are pro in handling kids. Natasha is amazing. Highly recommend for kids under 3 years.. mine just turn 2.. loved it.

Jessica is amazing! Patient, caring and styles great, my 2.7 years old loves her :)

Great kids haircuts. A little pricey. Lots of toys in the store so a bit tempting for the little ones but overall very professional.

Never coming back here again, Ive taken my 22 month old son several times here since he turned 1 year with Charmie and last time I went they made a huge scene because he wasnt wearing a mask. Even after putting it on him and holding his hands down while he was crying, she still didnt want to cut his hair, made no sense since she had previously cut his hair several times while he was crying before. Thanks Charmie and your manager for making me decide to never come back here again!

Have been going for 4 years. Like everyone but especially jessica and lana. Very quick and easy with children. Prices are somewhat high so I just stretch my visits until I Really need to go

They made the OWN RULE BY MAKING MY 17 MONTH OLD TO PUT A MASK ON!! HE WAS SLEEPING i told him i will him on my lap and she cant cut him the worst stuff ever !!

Let me start from saying that our grandson is a bit fussy when it comes to getting a haircut. Natasha was super professional and fun to work with. High fives and even hugs after getting out of the chair.Very friendly atmosphere and great attitude from all of the employees as well!Amazing Job Natasha!

I was really nervous about taking my 2 year old for a haircut so I had been cutting his hair (which takes forever with varying results). We saw Jessica and she was so nice, cut his hair so fast, and did an excellent job! I would definitely recommend going here!

Great to be back. Staff was ready. Stations sanitized. Before coming in they asked health questions and checked temperatures and had sanitizer handy. Thank you for a safe experience

Jessica is amazing! My son is 18 months and she did a graet hair cut

I was just 5 minutes late to the appointment and the lady at the phone said she cant take my one year old appointment anymore. Sorry to say but I think it is very rude.

Maria is sooo great with kids. I been going to her for 3yrs. Sweet woman and very great with kids

Very happy that we made the switch to KidSnips. Very safe and great stylists. Will definitely keep coming back.

Didn’t like the experience at this salon, Stacy was in a hurry obviously, and the service was in a rushed manner, even though the salon was empty. Eventually I was not satisfied with the final result and price that we paid.

We brought our little guy (hes 2, for reference) here for a vacation haircut (this was our first stop after getting the rental car!), and they were awesome. He liked getting to watch a show, the cool chairs, and picking a prize from the treasure chest at the end. A great place for haircuts!

It was a very good place. We were able to walk in for our toddlers haircut. They had a tablet to help distract him along with all the toys. At the end he was able to get a lollipop and a toy from the treasure box. Definitely a place to take young kids for their haircut.

Absolutely love this place! Maria is so delicate and gentle with my son Lucas. Definitely A+ 😎👌

KidSnips is the perfect place to take kids to get their hair cut. The stylists all know how to work with kids and are incredibly understanding and patient. My daughter loves getting a lollipop and small prize when shes done. Just beware: there are also toys everywhere in the store for purchase.

Ask for Nikki. She is wonderful. My son is very difficult when it comes to getting haircuts. She was amazing with him. My Wife and I will definitely be going back. 😃

We love María, she is very patient with our child and we are always pleased with our sons haircut.Also very friendly workers here. My favorite kids snips location we dont mind driving from Round lake to Arlington Heights when we get service like this .

My kid was there there times. First two times were great but last cut was terrible! The women (I believe her name was Nikki) cut my daughter’s bangs really really short (I even showed her picture how the cut should look like). I like the place but I do not recommend this hairdresser.

Fast and friendly! Jessica is the best!

I really like this Kids Snips specially the Arlington heights one! We love Maria she does an awesome job cutting our sons hair mushroom style.

I came here for my sons first haircut at 18 months in August and they did not require him to wear a mask. State guidelines read kids under 2 are not required to wear masks! So I went for another appointment this week and my son is 22 months and they did not want to cut his hair because they wanted him to wear a mask and he didn’t leave it on. The girl said it was state guidelines that required him and that’s not right ! I’m very disappointed

Maria did my sons first haircut today and she did an awesome job!

Natasha is the BEST! She listens to what I want for my boys and delivers 100%. The boys are so good for her! We will always make sure we see Natasha when we go!I love the treasure chest, too! My son gets 1 lollipop and 1 treasure from the chest. My son definitely earns those items for being such a good boy!

Maria is the best at this place. My baby was always crying with other girls, but Maria is making herself invisible and the boy is pretty quiet. Thank you, Maria. 10 stars)

My grandson had a great time. Was his first haircut & wanted to go back in after we left.

Natasha did a wonderful job styling my nieces hair. She was going to the concert and she needed to have a nice hair to perform. She has very heavy and long hair and it took long time to style it but at the end it was gorgeous. Natasha braided is so perfect and it stays for the whole day. Thank you so much!

They are very careful and safe thanks for my sons haircut

The lady made my daughters hair look like a little boy.

We’ve been here a few times now and have been pleased every time. We will continue to visit and glad we found em! Great service and pricing.

We came here for our daughter’s first hair cut. The stylist, Nikki, was ver accommodative and my child did not have any problems getting her hair cut. She was playing all the time, no crying at all. We also asked for a before and after picture which they accommodated. So over all, it was a great experience.

Great haircuts and atmosphere. Haircuts are fast and well done. They have iPads for kids to watch, cool cars for kids to sit in and tons of toys available to buy. I had an appointment for which they were right on time.

We brought in our 15 month old grandson for a haircut. Despite everyones best efforts, he cried through the whole experience. Everything was just too new for him. Maria, the hairdresser, was kind, patient and very skillful. We left the salon with a very nice haircut indeed!

Loved the experience we had because of the special needs by little has. Our stylist made sure that he felt comfortable with each step! Thank you!

They rushed through the haircut for all 3 of my children. The employees try to be nice but I can tell they are stressed out. I will not be going back. The value for the price is not worth it to me because I place high value on customer service and quality of service.

This location is pretty nice! I always go to barrington but this time we tried this one. Always friendly and do a decent job

This location is very tiny! Lots of toys crowding the entire store. It’s hard to get through the place. Very annoying! There was a lady named Natasha who did not listen very well to my instructions on my one sons haircut. The other lady there did a great job at listening to what I wanted. I guess it just depends on who you get. I don’t think I’ll ever come back to this location. I’ve had better experiences at their other locations.

Jennifer was friendly and did great with our 2 year olds first haircut. They have a lot of fun seats and distractions for the little ones to get the haircut done quickly.

Very helpful, experienced professionals who know how to work with (and around) a moody 3 year old :)

Excellent staff and stylist. Very good with my son and gave him exactly the cut he wanted!

I did not write this review after just one/first visit experience, because very often those can be just one-time accidental haircuts. Only after we repeatedly had 5+ star experience with hairstylist Natasha, I decided to write this review and highly recommend this hairstylist to all parents who care about finding a person who would be a true professional who loves kids and makes picture perfect kids hair cuts. Before Natasha at Arlington Heights we had experience with a different hair stylist at a different kids salon in NW suburbs where my kid started screaming after the stylist would start using trimmer right away- she was most likely having a hard day, tired, was short on her schedule and did not care at all about my kids haircut. My kid was in panic, the hair cut was awful and I believed that it would be a long time before he would not be afraid of hair cuts. Then we met Natasha at Arlington Heights Kid Snips... She is 100% professional working with kids. She just starts talking to a kid like he is a grown up: engaging him into a conversation like there are only two of them in a room, gaining his attention from the very first minute. My son LOVED her right away. She is so natural with kids! She just knows their psychology: instead of just starting to use the trimmer she engages the kid into the process, showing it to him, explaining what it is (without any of those artificial sweetie words, but involving him into the process asking him to press the button, etc. It only takes seconds of her time. The result? Well, we have been repeatedly getting Picture Perfect kids hair cuts with Natasha, like the ones from the kids models in catalogs, every single hair trimmed (and my kid sitting Completely quiet!!!!). My kid is so in love with Natasha, he is all over her, behaving like an big boy, has been asking me to go her only, getting ready for her, telling her stories, etc.!!!I do have 10+ years of kids hair cuts experience. My older kid has seen a lot of hair stylists but never the one as Perfect as Natasha! And I have been seeing so many of them, believe me.I would highly recommend getting Natasha as your kids hair stylist if you are looking for somebody who is truly professional and have natural approach to kids! She is Awesome! I wish we have met her years before.

My sons love it here. The toy shop is great. The staff is wonderful with kids. And parking is easy.

My daughter always gets a great haircut and loved the pixie dust and flower in her hair. Sure you pay a little more but sometimes a happy haircut experience is worth the price.

Great experience. It was my daughters first haircut and she loved it. She wants to go every week now:))) Special thanks to Lana!

Good for kids....I hope they open some stores in Florida as well.

We went to this place for our babys first haircut. Natasha was simply amazing...We wanted a zero trim and she was nice enough to redo a few spots on request. She is very professional and highly recommended

Maria was soooo sweet with my son ♡ As soon as we came in to the salon he was scared and crying, when it was his turn, Maria hugged him and calm him down. She taught him not to be scare of the clippers. Love the haircut!!! Thank you Maria, you are an angel!!

Everyone is super nice and great hair cut. Nice place to get toys and they even wrap.

My 4year old had no issues and didnt cry due to the exciting atmosphere. Our stylist was superb as well.

Great job! Knowledgeable and experienced staff

Great place very friendly. My 5 year old son wont get a haircut anywhere else.

My kids always have a good experience there and we love my sons haircut.They stylists pay attention to details and actually listen to the parents request.

Great place for kids haircuts, they were very nice and professional and would definitely come back here again for my kids.

My wife and I love this place. My 1 yr old, however, does not. :)

Stacey is fantastic! She does a great job, is patient, and always gets my 2 year old son to sit still. I would highly recommend.

Took my 1.5 yo to kidsnips! Natasha took care of my sons 1st haircut, which was a total success! Natasha was professional and fun at the same time! It was a good experience and the results were fantastic! I highly recommend Natasha!

Took my 13 years old daughter to this place, as Natasha was recommended by my friend. Natasha was very accurate, everything was cleane, and took appropriate time.She did a little trim and braided her long hair beautifully. We recieved so many compliments and my daughter now only wants to go there. Thank you Natasha!

This place is great! Lana is amazing! She did great job styling my sons hair! Highly recommended!

My kids first haircut, and they really did their best.

Really friendly place, your kid will be in good hands 👍

This was the first time we were cutting my daughters hair and I was nervous. My daughter on the other hand not so much, she was looking forward to it. Maria greeted us, allowed to watch an ipad and started on her craft. I am one of those folks that have a special connection to hair and I was a little hesitant to ask if it was ok to keep her hair. When I finally did get the courage to ask, Maria was so understanding and so kind to allow me to keep my daughters hair in baggie. Mind you it is not so easy to keep grabbing hair while the master is trying to work on his art. Overall, great experience and at the end weve received a certificate and my daughter was super excited to pick out some toys from their treasure chest. Great experience.

We took our 13 months baby for his first ever hair cut here, received warm welcome greetings from service manager for check in. We chose one of the available cars with infant belt to click few selfies before our appointment began.Our baby hair stylist was very friendly and patient with my kid and with us. She showed some of the measurement sizes and how it looks after hair cut. We choose the size 1 for our kid, he was well behaved and hair crop was done in less than 10 mins, however little cranky at the finishing stage.They gave us the souvenirs of little chunks of my kids hair, first photo click after hair cut and certificate. Over all experience was good, charges for hair cut is moderate for kids.

I always take my son to this place, smiley staff. Or barber Jessica, was very friendly, my son was happy to get his hair cut and small you

Always friendly and professional.

We went to kidsnip for my 15 month old son’s haircut. I want to trim zero cut and natasha does it absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this place

Jennifer has been cut my sons hair since the beginning and she absolutely wonderful. I would recommend kid snips and Jennifer to anyone.

Great hair salon for moving targets!

Kid snips is an Okay place for a babies hair cut. I would not see any reason to go here after the kiddos are above three years old. They give haircuts for a high price. We are always out of there in under twenty minutes but It’s the same price as an adult haircut.

They always give my son a great hair cut...

Natasha was very nice and great with my son. $20 for a first haircut, but you get a certificate, a lock of hair and a picture.

Took our 23 month old, after previous experiences at regular salons we were not wanting to go through another haircut. Took me in for an appointment same day and Natasha did a wonderful job. I still dont know how they do it but they kept a 23 month old hyper toddler in place. Wow! Just amazing. Great place, toys all around, they even let you pick a kids movie for them to watch while getting a haircut. Thank you!Edit: now going back with my 2nd toddler. He hates regular salons and I’m sure he’ll be amazed here.

My son always enjoys coming back and getting a hair cut was never an issue, rather a positive quality time everytime we stepped in. He is 4.5 now so barely fits in the car, but the haircut itself was always right what i was describing or better. Never too short or ackward looking. Recommended

I would not even give my experience a single star.I went there for my babys first haircut and the experience was horrible.I went here thinking the first haircut would be comfortable for my son as the professionals are trained to handle kids especially for whom this is a completely new experience.I had seen the reviews and felt comfortable going here.Jessica was our stylist and she made very little attempt to help calm my son and I felt rushed. He did cry a lot through the whole experience. To begin with the seat (car shaped) wasnt even cleaned.The seat had lots of hair left from the previous appt and when I pointed that to her she simply brushed a few with one hand and thats it.I absolutely disliked my experience here and felt so let down as his first cut was suppose to be special. The photograph that was taken for keepsakes was taken immediately post the haircut and while he was crying. I would think atleast she would let him calm. Really left this place frustrated and annoyed.I would never take my son here.

Maria did a good job with my girls bangs!
