Every Child Matters!

Our goal is to make every child feel special any way we can! The stylists are accommodating to each child whether they have: special needs, don’t like haircuts, cutting their hair to donate, or it’s their first haircut ever! Between great stylists, cool cars, video games, parties and the toy store kids never want to leave! When wearing our stickers and Power Bands with empowering sayings every child can remember why they are so special and why “Every Child Matters”.
