First Cut 4 Kids

We took our one year old for his first real haircut on a Saturday (I say real because he’s had one other that he didn’t sit for and ended up getting half a haircut). It was like 45 to closing and we were the only ones there so no wait at all. They have the whole tv, rocket ship chairs, lollipop giving thing going on in order to get the kids to sit still which totally works. Clara was great w my little one, she said she’s been there for about 6 months but perhaps she had experience else where because she was very patient and attentive to his needs. The Unilocal reviews from priors had me skeptical about this place before going in but I would definitely recommend it to all mommies.

Took my 3 year old boys there. Three stars for one decent haircut (a nice older lady w/​glasses) but 1 star for the other one (another lady). This lady wasn’t as good w/​kids in general and a tiny bit rough. I tried to tell her that I wanted the front a little long a few times so he wouldn’t have a bowl cut. We left alright b/​c his hair was gelled, but after he took a bath, he suddenly looked like friar tuck/​jim carrey from dumb and dumber, dammit! They had a 50% off new management promotion so I would’ve been pissed if I had to pay full price for that cut. We went 2 – 3 years ago (w/​nicer staff) and also got a bad cut. The quality just doesnt match the price.

I’m giving it 4 stars because it was kind of pricey ($ 25 base for kids haircut), but I’m not going to go to a regular salon for my kid, so it’s kind of par for the course. I’d highly recommend Clara who was very patient with my toddler son, and though the haircut didn’t take very long, she really took her time and didn’t rush. She says Mondays are their quietest day.
Also, I’d read previously about «Jenny» but she’s no longer there and the place has a new owner, so you can pretty much ignore previous reviews about her.

Have been coming here for 4 years to get my boy’s haircuts. Absolutely love Maria! She is so kind and patient with the boys. She also does a fantastic job on the haircuts! I highly recommend this salon and Maria!

Came here because my daughter’s regular hair stylist is out of commission for a bit and the reviews seemed to be high for this place. We didn’t have high expectations but we were hoping for a cut better than Super Cuts. We did not get this. My daughter’s hair came out lopsided and uneven. We drove from Bellflower to here for their reviews and don’t even want to make the trip back to ask them to fix it. I don’t know how reviews can be so good for a place the ruined my daughter’s hair.

Maria did a great job giving our son his haircut considering how much screaming and moving he was doing! She was very patient and kind, making sure we were satisfied with the cut before stopping. You have to be realistic and understand that if your kid hates haircuts and moves around like ours did, the cut is not going to be perfect. We were more than happy with the results. Will be back soon!

We went to this place more than a year ago & had a very bad experience with hair stylist named Jenny. After that we never went back. Every Time my son needed a haircut I drove all the way to Santa Monica to a kid friendly hair salon. Today, I didn’t have enough time to make it to the westside & I figured I should give these guys another shot.
First cut is located inside PV mall next to Ruby’s & the ice skating place. Parking is incredibly easy. We walked in with no appointment. They were very welcoming & politely let us know the wait would be about 25 min. Hair stylist, Maria, was there. She cut 1 girl & 2 boys hair in just 25 min before it was our turn. She was super fast, so nice & friendly with the kids. & she really did a very nice job. My son cries everytime he cuts his hair, this time he was seating perfectly, didn’t move & followed Maria’s instructions. My son loves Maria. We had a really good experience this time & im so glad we went there today. The basic haircut is only $ 22 & if you get 10 haircuts your 11^th haircut would be free. They keep that record on file with your phone number.
This hair salon is very kid friendly, they have nice decorations. They have a rocket & 3 helicopters & regular chairs that are orange. Very happy & colorful.
Will definitely go back to Maria again :)

So I called earlier this morning to inquire about their $ 75 «First Cut Package» advertised on their website. I mentioned this package to her during the call and also mentioned that I wanted to give this as a gift to my godchild. She confirmed that they had gift cards for purchase. So here I am now at the RHE First Cut 4 Kids. The same lady whom I assume answered my call now tells me that there is NO package, and that they sell NO gift cards. She did acknowledge that she is aware of the website promoting this «package». Needless to say I just lost an hour or two of my life driving up here for some phantom package and gift cards.

This place is horrible, my fiancée made an appointment here for my son’s first haircut. I wanted to take him to a barber but she was scared he would be traumatized and not want to get a hair cut again and these people only cut kids hair.
So I say okay, get to his appointment she chops his Pony tail off, cuts the sides with the clippers and trims the top with scissors. The sides look butchered and all one size I asked her to blend it in and give him a fade just like mine, she says yeah your right it does look a little long so she uses a smaller size and goes over the sides again but still doesn’t blend it in. These people do not know what they are doing, they don’t know how to clean up the sides so it makes the whole haircut look like shit. I had to rush him to a barber and get it tapered but they had already cut his hair too short on the sides for the barber to work with.
For boys I would just go to a regular barber and girls a salon.
Avoid this place at all costs.
I do not know the name of the woman who cut his hair but from reading the other reviews it seems like no one at this establishment is cabable of cutting hair.

Love this place– only place I’ve taken my son and don’t see why I’d go anywhere else. Love Maria and how quick and awesome she is. I recommend First Cut to all my friends.

I didn’t think it would be so easy for my daughter’s very 1^st hair cut. I initially took her somewhere else and she lost it and was screaming so loud in the salon, the stylist was afraid to even attempt a haircut. I decided to bring her in and Maria did such a great job of putting my daughter at ease. She was careful with the haircut and even tied her hair in super cute pigtails afterwards. I would definitely go back! Oh and the cute chair and cartoons /​programs on TV definitely helped as a distraction for my daughter — she didn’t move at all throughout her haircut.

First time here. Came here from a recommendation from a friend. My son needed a hair cut for his 2 year birthday party and has really curly hair. Maricela helped us and did a wonderful job with his hair cut. The place is great for kids with tv’s, airplane seats to get the hair cut and toys. We made a appointement before hand but didn’t seem to need one as we were the only ones there at the time. Will be coming back!

Went today for a haircut for my little one and the person in the reception area instead of checking us in, began mumbling something about an appointment. There were two kids being served and supposedly they were expecting two more clients half an hour later. It’s ridiculous how he didn’t even make the effort to give a new client a good impression of the place. Horrible customer service.

We took our daughter here today. She’s 3 ½ and just had her first hair cut. They have lollipops and awards, which is great. My little girl was crying the whole time and the hair cutter did a great job and was very understanding. The owner seemed pretty nice too.

Not clean! She used the brush with full of hair from previous client on my girl ! After she was done with my little one she did not clean the sit and start with my other girl ! With same apron, Even she did not dry the kids hair or even get the hair off their face. I would never go back to this place.

I have to say this will be our sons 1^st haircut I will never forget! We had an appt with Maria, yesterday June 6^th at 2pm and she was just so gentle and super nice! I felt a lil uneasy at first because my son wouldn’t stop moving around but maria did her best to make him comfortable. After we gave him a lollipop, he was more easy to work with. Maria did an amazing job all around. She was so talkative and she was just giggling the whole time. My son ended up giving her a huge hug in the end! I definitely recommend her and I know we will come back to her in the future! Thanks maria!

Had an appointment but they made us wait 35 minutes after we arrived. Our toddler isn’t fond of haircuts but Jenny did an excellent job. Had an appointment with Rose but since she didn’t like crying babies she was rude and switched us. We left something behind and came back for it and caught Rose complaining to another about our crying toddler. I would’ve expected more of a professional service from Rose and someone that could work with kids. She didn’t seem like she wanted to work there and had too much of an attitude.

I have taken my son here for every hair cut but one haircut. Today, I want to specifically write about how awesome Jenny was in terms of interacting with my son and really giving him what I wanted in terms of a haircut. This would be his 5^th or 6^th haircut here, so they have how we like things on his record. Jenny read the record first and made sure this is what I wanted for him. Once she was done with him, she let me review her work and made whatever adjustments I wanted. I think that his current record doesn’t reflect that we like more cut off the top these days. She was super careful about how much she cut and asked before cutting by showing me what would go in between her fingers. I would go to her again any time.
My son even threw a mini-​tantrum because he couldn’t take some books that belonged to the shop with him and Jenny was so supportive and understanding. She helped me get him to cope a little better in order to part with the books. She was great with him and me!

Whatever you do don’t go to Jenny. Jenny works morning shifts 10 – 1. My son got 2 bad haircuts from her. She chopped off all his beautiful curls and it is also uneven everywhere (I will try to add a photo so you can see how bad it is). Jenny is so rude as well on the phone and in person. She is rude to me and rude to her co-​workers. Go to Maria she is so nice and does a amazing job, Maria works the 1– later shift— but be careful if you go at 1 and Maria is not their, Do not let Jenny touch your kids hair. Go 1:30 or later just to be safe.

This the second time taking the baby there the first time he was 4months old and it was fairly easy. He’s 7months now and a lot more active… The lady who cut his hair was very nice we went at the right time because there was nobody else there. The haircut was very fast and it seems like she did a very good job… As much as he moved she was able to do a good job. Except the baby got scared when the clippers came on lol I would definitely go back. I would put 6 if they had 6 haha
