About
Keeping haircuts (and childhood) fun…for everyone.
KidSnips is a kids hair salon group, mom-owned business founded by a couple of women like you — parents who wanted to get their kids’ hair done in a place that was easy, affordable and with stylists who actually liked kids, and knew how to cut kids’ hair. And where parents could get a cut too, and maybe pick up a toy or a great hair care product and check a couple more things off the to-do list!
So that’s what we did back in 1997 when we opened our first hair salon. A place where a kid can be a kid, and anyone in the family can get a great haircut or style. Now, with 8 locations in Chicago and the suburbs we’re keeping haircuts … and childhood … fun.
A hair salon actually made for kids.
We’ve all been there – the salons made for adults with quiet, spa-like music and so-chic stylists. Or the ones more like assembly lines — just trying to get people in and out as fast as possible. Nothing wrong with them … except, if you’re a kid, or a parent who loves one, sometimes you can leave those kinds of salons more stressed than when you came in.
Our child-friendly, family-focused kids hair salons are no-stress, guilt-free zones where families can enjoy spending time with each other, all while getting a great haircut. Or braid. Or temporary color. Or up-do. Or …


We love ALL kinds of kids.
Many of our stylists have been with us for a long time (some since our salons opened over 20 years ago) because they love kids and are amazing at what they do. They are also trained in working with all kinds of kids, including those who are fearful, have special needs or sensory issues, or are in wheelchairs. So no child is left out from having a good time here.
Good-for-kids hair products and toys.
At KidSnips we care about the details at our kids hair salons. That’s why even the professional hair products we use and sell are handpicked by our stylists to work safely with children’s delicate hair. And all our toys are carefully curated to be fun for kids, and easy for parents to love! (You’re welcome… )
