When we first walked into our local Cool Cuts 4 Kids, I was immediately impressed at how fun and kid-friendly the entire salon was.  All of the furniture and decorations were brightly colored and the waiting area had plenty of neat games and toys as well as a cartoon movie playing on the small television.  We were a walk-in on a Saturday afternoon and so I was expecting to have to wait at least 15 minutes or so, but was pleasantly surprised to be ushered in to a barber's chair within a few minutes.

Here's where things really got neat!  The lady asked me what movie Riley would like to watch during her haircut and showed me a large bulletin board with about 30 movie titles on it.  I selected an Elmo movie and the lady popped it into the small television's DVD player located right in front of the barber seat.  Now that's a great idea to get your child to sit still and not move their head around!

I thought that the barber chairs themselves were extremely cool.  They were all in the shape of a car, complete with a working steering wheel and a small ringing bell on the dash.  Riley immediately started to drive the car and play with the steering wheel.  She barely even noticed the lady putting the cape around her and combing her hair.

The stylist was very kind and knew how to work with children, for any time Riley got antsy in the chair or started turning her head this way and that, the stylist would ask her a question about the film she was watching.  This automatically made her sit still and focus straight ahead so that she could answer the lady back.  In just a few minutes, the stylist was finished and Riley never knew what happened.

I think she was so engrossed with steering her toy car and watching the movie, that she completely forgot she was also getting a haircut!  The lady then used a blow dryer and a round brush to style her new 'do.  Riley liked this a lot and it was so cute to see her hair get fixed like this.  She even gave Riley a small white bow hair clip to put in her hair and we were ready to go!

Cool Cuts 4 Kids has a totally fun atmosphere and is completely centered around haircuts for children.  They make the whole process as fun and entertaining as possible for both you and your child.   If you are looking for a great way to get your child looking their while heading back to school this year, then give Cool Cuts 4 Kids a try.  They definitely live up to their motto of "Fun for Kids, Easy for You"!
