my 9 month old son's hair is getting really long in back and on the sides. i need to have it cut somewhere where they're used to dealing with babies who never stay still for a minute. anyone have recommendations??? thanks!
If you've got the money, you can try a place like Kid Snips or Cookie Cutters. They take pictures during the haircut and create a take-home certificate for the baby book with a clipping of hair. It's quite precious. Plus, Kid Snips plays a DVD (that you choose, or you can bring) on a personal screen for your child, which will keep your child sitting still. Kid Snips was $24 without tip. That's pretty darn expensive for a simple 10 minute haircut!
We also did the $20ish first haircut at Cookie Cutters. It was cute to have the picture, and the movie worked well. Plus there was a slide to go down afterwards. They also have cute little cars for them to sit in, which helps. After that, we've just gone to great clips...they're good with the kids & get it done fast!
KidSnips, for sure!
Let those precious lock grow until he can sit on his own. you won't believe how attached you become to them.
There's a really nice place in Schaumburg on Wise Rd. near Roselle Rd. run by a mom (and her aunt and niece work there too) that is so kid-friendly. They are used to the wiggling, will cut his hair while he sits on your lap (and they have cut mine while my baby sat on my lap too!) They also have a toy corner for when he's older and you can get your hair done. They do a nice job.

Very reasonable prices too.
We like Kidsnips in Oak Brook.
Snippets in Yorktown Mall is good too - same concept as Cookie Cutters (different little cars/horses to sit on plus DVD's and toys to entertain your child). You can't go wrong at a place like that because the hair stylists are very patient and specialize in cutting hard-to-sit-still babies, toddlers and kids!
I take my daughter to Klips 4 Kids in Schaumburg off of Wise Road. Their phone number is 847-584-9440. We see Lisa. All of the hairdressers are fantastic! If you go to their website at www.klips4kids.com, they have coupons too. Their prices are higher than a discount hair salon, but the kids get to play with toys while they get their hair cut. How they can cut bangs while the kids are looking all around is amazing! I can't cut my OWN bangs straight! The kids get a balloon when they are done. My daughter LOVES it there! Mms and Dads can get their haircut too at the same time! Fantastic place!
Kidsnips is awesome with little kids - for the first haircut, they take a picture and give you a certificate of first haircut and some of the hair they cut off. It is a great keepsake.
