Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids

I took my 16 month old here to have his first haircut. I booked the “first hair cut experience” which was supposed to give us double normal appointment time to make sure everyone had time to get comfortable have fun. Right off the bat the stylist seemed to be in a hurry, did not listen to what we wanted from the haircut and definitely did not listen when I told her this was hard for me to see his curls cut. She didn’t encourage my child to get comfortable or give him time to adjust, actually cut his hair without the cape and kept telling him sternly to “sit still”. The entire cut probably lasted 5 mins. The haircut it’s self was awful and our first haircut experience was awful. The manager did a good job listening to our frustration and gave me the number to the owner who I still have not gotten a return phone call back. We will never be returning to any of their locations and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Couldn’t recommend Shear Madness enough! We are first time parents and brought our 2 year old here for her first hair cut. I was very hesitant because her hair is extremely curly. Kendra was our hair stylist and she was absolutely fantastic. From the friendliness to the employees, to the kid friendly environment. I really couldn’t think of a better place to bring our little girl! Will absolutely be returning for all future haircuts.

We had my one year old son’s first haircut at Shear Madness in Lee’s Summit today. Our stylist Maddy did such a great job and was so patient. My son was very squirmy and fussy the whole time and the cut still turned out great! I don’t know how she managed to do it but I’m very impressed! Highly recommend!

Great place to get a haircut for your kiddos. There's different chairs for them to sit in: car, motorcycle, train, firetruck, etc. (6 vehicles total) so your kid can act like they're driving the whole time. They're very kind for first haircuts and don't use clippers (just the scissors) to not scare the kid. They have screens for each of the charis so the kids can watch their choice of show from a selection. There's a lot of toys in the front of the store. The haircut with the clippers wasn't perfect. Rather, it could have used some work. I think they probably think their clippers are barber grade (they are not), so they only go over the hair once when they should be going over it several times... and there were quite a few stragglers. I will say, this would probably be a bad place to take a kid who gets overstimulated: toys, bright lights, lots of tvs, cars to ride. I imagine it would be hard for a child with sensory issues.

Took my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter to get a haircut Saturday. The girl obviously did not know how to just “trim” Curly hair. I could have done better. Wish i hadn’t paid for seriously 3 maybe four snips and terrible braids( didn’t even part her hair straight ) Hair was uneven when we got home. Asked to have her bangs shaped up, wouldn’t trim them because she has curly hair. If you can’t trim CURLY hair say so. Will NEVER go back there.
