Can anyone recommend a good place to get my son's hair cut?!? He is a squirmy 2 year old who doesn't like to have his hair cut...big surprise, so I would prefer a place that specializes in children! Anyway, we live in Clearwater and have been driving to "Gel-Ee-Beans" hair salon in Brandon because Casey was the only one who could get a decent haircut on my little wiggleworm! Well, she is no longer there so of course, I would love to find a place a little closer to home. Please don't say KidsClips on East Bay, because that woman is horrible!!!!!
Thanks so much for any advice!
Short cuts in the International mall. The only way to do my daughters hair is for me to stand up holding her. I was very impressed that they cut her hair quickly and evenly with me holding her. They worked around me. They talk to all the kids like they are people to. They did raise their rates which I am not to happy about since I have 2 kids it gets expensive but they are great.
My daughters get their haircuts from the local barber shop
I'm fortunate to have my mom, who gives my squirmy 3 1/2 yr old daughter a haircut, but I have heard the frustration from other moms who are looking for someone who's good with little ones. Several friends have tried Kids Clips on East Bay and have been very disappointed as well.
There's a salon in Seminole called Class Act Salon. Ask for Nikki Huth. My friend takes her 3 1/2 yr old daughter and 2 year old son, who are quite squirmy, and they both get wonderful haircuts. Nikki has a 3 yr old son and is wonderful with kids. The phone number is ###-###-#### and it's located at 10754 70th Ave N, Seminole, FL 33772.
Best of luck,

Hello K. - I am not recommeding KidClips but did want to share my relief in hearing another parent complain about that place! My husband I took our kids there once or twice, thinking it would be the best place, we thought it would be kid friendly. We now cut our sons hair at home - he dislikes haircuts so much this is the only solution. We bought our own "buzzer" at a local drugstore for $20 and do it ourselves. Our son is still scared but at least we are in control of what happens. Our daughter being older is taken to our salon and is dealing better with the haircuts. Good luck.
My daughter works at a salon in Palm Harbor, Toes Up on Alternate 19 just north of Tampa Road. This is a day spa not a kids salon but she has been cutting her younger sisters hair for 4 years and does almost all the kids that do come in to the shop.
Worth a try. Her name is Sara ` ###-###-####
Good Luck

That woman at kids clip on East Bay is HORRIBLE!! Everytime I would take my son in I would tell her what I wanted and each time she buzzed his hair! I finally found Short Cuts at International Mall in Tampa (Dillards End). We make a day of it and play on the play ground and eat at the food court. It's an awesome place! They listen to you and do exactly what you want. Kids have a tv at their station and watch their favorite movie. He can sit in a jet airplane, a jeep (you really can move the steering wheel and it really moves the tires. REALLY patient with kids...LOVE IT!! Someone recently asked the same question and I think three of us moms responded SHORT CUTS!! GOOD LUCK! I know it's so hard to find someone who works well with kids.
Hi ,I used to work at Short Cuts in International, I was there for many years till it closed down.. :(. But now I have opened my own hair salon for kids in the South Tampa Area!!! :). My name is G., and I have worked with many children in Tampa. the name is Classic Haircuts for Kids. 3635 Henderson Blvd, Tampa,33609. ###-###-####.
I took my son to Short Cuts in International mall when he was 18 months and the whole time he was squirming and standing up and down and she still did a wonderfull job.They give you a first hair cut certificate and give you the first lock of hair if its your childs firts time recieving a haircut. They also have the little cars they can sit in to make it more fun for the children!!
