Posted by Matthew S on Tue, Jan 16, 2018 @ 12:01 PM

bestofcity17web.jpgSome of our readers may recall that the Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids Salon Franchise in Albuquerque was voted Best of the City in 2014, 2015 AND 2016. We are excited to say that they've done it again, and have been voted by readers as Albuquerque The Magazine's Best of the City for 2017! This is quite an honor to be sure, as numerous votes were cast in order to spotlight those businesses, organizations, restaurants, and people that help make Albuquerque such a great place to live!

Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids in Albuquerque is noted as not being just another kids' salon, but as a unique place where mounted cars for styling chairs, televisions and Xbox games at every station help make the haircutting experience fun and special. Additionally, Shear Madness also has an award-winning YOUniquey Boutiquey where kids and parents can shop a fantastic selection of toys, jewelry, kids hair products, hair accessories and more. And to top it off, by mixing in ShEAR Dazzled Ear Piercing (a unique ear piercing experience), the La De Da Spa, themed parties, and a great styling staff - customers are sure to find something to bring a smile to their face! 

Kimberly Abeyta, owner of the Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids in Albuquerque says that, "We are grateful for being voted 'Best of the City Children’s Salon' 4 years in a row! Thank You Albuquerque for making Every Child Matter!" Kimberly also notes how hard the Shear Madness team works to bring smiles to their customer's faces each and every day by building up personal relationships and striving to create a special memory and fun atmosphere for kids and parents alike. Additionally, Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids in Albuquerque has really perfected the art of not only giving a great haircut, but also hosting fabulous kids Birthday parties! For example, the spa party concept has been a real hit in Albuquerque. Girls are treated to wearing spa robes, getting mini manis, twisty updos, glittery makeup, and a glitter tattoo. They sing Karaoke and get to choose a headband from the YOUniquey boutiquey to take home!

Janon Otto, CEO of Shear Madness Franchising noted that, "Shear Madness in Albuquerque has always been so concerned with excellent customer service since day one!  We are so proud of this store, the stylists are excellent, the parties - the best, and now they are doing an excellent job with ear piercing as well!  We see this store continuing to build its clientele and remaining - The Best in Albuquerque!"

Where Every Child Matters!

Posted by Matthew S on Tue, Sep 19, 2017 @ 14:09 PM

From stylists who truly care about their customers, to store owners who work hard at helping make a positive difference in their communities for kids and their families, Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids is THE kids hair salon where EVERY child matters! Whether it's helping out a special needs child with a haircut, creating a memorable experience for a child's birthday party, or helping boys and girls of all ages (and maybe even some adults too) look and feel great about who they are - we love going that extra mile to bring a smile!
 
For example, Samantha recently visited one of our Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids locations, and had this to say about her visit, "My family had an amazing experience at Shear Madness! We have a son that has a sensory disorder and getting a haircut has been a nightmare for a long time. He got to pick out what car he was sitting in and what show he watched and although he still had a few meltdowns it was nothing compared to haircuts in the past. It was also great to have a stylist that understood and was patient with him. Also it was nice to see a stylist that was fluent in ASL! What a great place that was inclusive for all children!"

Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids is of course known for our amazing haircuts for kids, with vehicle chairs for children to sit in and watch a video or play a game while they get their haircut. Older kids and adults have regular chairs, but can also watch a video or play a game too (if they choose). Additionally, we also offer great ear piercing experiences, cool parties, amazing toys, fun kids games, hairbows, haircare products, jewelry, and so much more. Each of our stores is geared toward being a bright and happy place where kids and their parents can feel right at home, and have a fun experience they hopefully won't soon forget!

Kids Favorite Destinations to Combine with your Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids Visit!

Posted by Matthew S on Mon, Dec 12, 2016 @ 14:12 PM

CoolTrips.jpgIf you're like a lot of parents, you're usually trying to find something fun and memorable for you to do with your kids on summer vacation or for a fun family weekend trip. That's why we thought it might be fun to come up with some of the big attractions in each city where a Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids is located. Because like a lot of these great places listed below, Shear Madness is also a magical destination for kids where haircuts, parties, salon services and a fantastic kids boutique filled with toys, hair products, jewelry and more are waiting for parents and their kids to discover! So don't miss out - the following locations where each Shear Madness is located are also home to some of the coolest places for kids too. Have fun checking out these cool trips for kids!

Des Moines / Ankeny: Did you know that Des Moines Iowa is home to the Adventureland Amusement Park? That's right! According to their website, "Adventureland Amusement Park and Adventure Bay Waterpark contain over 100 rides, shows, and attractions including some of the country's most exciting roller coasters and thrill rides that can challenge the most avid amusement park enthusiasts." Also of note is the Science Center of Iowa, which "engages and inspires visitors by bringing learning to life...With live science demonstrations, a 50-foot planetarium and a six-story IMAX dome theater, there's always more to explore!" And of course any trip to Des Moines wouldn't be quite complete without stopping by Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids in West Des Moines (across from the Jordan Creek Mall). But don't forget - you can also visit one of our cool stores while in Ankeny too!

Albuquerque: If you're visiting Albuquerque, New Mexico, you may may want to check out the ABQ BioPark, a cool environmental museum comprising four facilities: Aquarium, Botanic Garden, Zoo and Tingley Beach (fishing lakes). Each of the facilities is designed to help foster environmental awareness, education and stewardship. Meanwhile, Cliff's Amusement Park is the only place in New Mexico with Family Rides, Thrill Rides (like the New Mexico Rattler, one of the Top 25 Wooden Roller Coasters in the world), Kiddieland and Cliff's WaterMania!  Great games and good food, too! And lastly, any visit to Albuquerque wouldn't be complete without stopping by Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids in Albuquerque at Paseo Del Nort & Wyoming!

Lee's Summit / Olathe (Kansas City): Named one of the country's 25 best science centers by Parents Magazine, Kansas City's Science City provides over 200,000 visitors annually with an engaging environment ripe for exploration, experimentation and discovery. Plus, the historic Union Station (which Science City is a part of) is also a must-see destination in itself.  Additionally, the Kansas City Zoo is a 202 acre  zoo that is home to more than 1,300 animals. In 2008, the Kansas City Zoo was voted one of America's best zoos, and was ranked number one in the nation for “African Animals and Exhibits". The Zoo was also ranked among the top 10 in the nation for “Australian Animals and Exhibits”. Also, you won't want to miss checking out Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids in Lee's Summit or Olathe!

Amherst, New York: With over 7000 artifacts on display, the Medina Railroad Museum amazes all ages with it's largest toy train layout in New York State, collections from the late 1800's to present, and huge collection of fire safety equipment! Also nearby, the Buffalo Zoo offers guests fascinating animal exhibits, naturalistic wildlife habitats, beautiful garden areas and several unique areas in which to enjoy an environment that is full of fun, adventure and history (all throughout the year). The Buffalo Zoo is open daily rain or shine - just like Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids in Amherst, New York! Check it out!

San Antonio, Texas: ASeaWorld San Antonio, kids will love getting up close and personal with a dolphin, as well as penguins, beluga whales, dolphins, and flamingoes! There's also crazy roller coasters (including one of two “hypercoasters” SeaWorld has throughout the US) and water rides as well! After a cool visit to Sea World, you may want to visit the San Antonio Zoo, which is a great place for kids who love animals, learning, and learning about animals. Finish off this memorable day with an equally memorable visit to Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids at the Forum in San Antonio, or at the Village at Stone Oak (also in San Antonio)!

McAllen, Texas: The International Museum of Art & Science is a Smithsonian Affiliate and is the premier art and science museum of South Texas (containing over 50,000 square feet of exhibit space). The museum provides a unique opportunity for visitors to participate in hands-on science exhibits and to learn original works of art while encouraging creativity and innovation. IMAS’ Permanent Collection includes Folk Art, Fine Art, Decorative Art and a modest Geological Collection. Meanwhile, Quinta Mazatlan is a beautiful urban sanctuary that seeks to enrich people's lives through educating about birds, plants, and environmental stewardship in South Texas.
