Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids

Do NOT take mixed children here. They clearly do not know how to cut curly hair. Took my 2yo son for his first haircut.His hair was quite long. Asked for the sides to be faded with a #3 on top to keep it longer but even. They did not listen to a single part of it since he looks bald with a #1 all around his head. If you don’t understand or know what you are doing say that and we can go elsewhere. We will never be back! Absolutely horrible experience steer clear if you have curly hair!!!!

I took my granddaughter to this location in Northland Kansas City, it was horrible. I was told that the stylist are able to style ethnic hair which was a lie. We came in and paid for service that we did not receive. I paid for a Diva Day with a hairstyle and got a messy nail no manicure or pedicure. Her makeup made her look like a clown. They were braiding her hair like Buckwheat, not sectioned or combs. Her hair was dirty and dry. The manager gave us a mean stare the entire time and stated that was being rude and disrespectful to one of workers in which I wasn't. I felt so unwelcome and uncomfortable. I paid for something that a 10 year old could have done. She was so upset that didn't get what she was expecting for her first salon experience. As a licensed cosmetologist, this location is not trained to style hair for Black children. Only one stylist came to help that was nice. I give the entire experience a 1/2 star. They should do better.

Great experience the first two times. They do everything the can to make it as fun for kids as possible. Stickers, temporary tattoos, fun jewelry, candy and toys. The staff is great with kids too. Can be a little expensive especially with the additions but makes it much more enjoyable when your kid is having fun. Well worth it.

We tried to get appointments at two other shops because the last time we went to Shear Madness (Olathe) they did a rough job, but I figured we’d give this one a shot since it was a different location. As we walked in, a mom was angry at the stylist because the back of the cut was uneven and the stylist tried to tell her it was a cowlick (it wasn’t). Unfortunately we got the same stylist and I showed her a pretty common boys cut (shaved sides, LONG on top). My son came in with a lot of length so it shouldn’t have been an issue. Tell me why this lady cut his hair so short and unevenly that the only way to fix it would be to shave him? At the register, the manager saw it and offered to fix his bangs (since one half is up to his scalp and the other half was longer), but I said no because I didn’t want it any shorter. My poor kid left there so sad about his hair. Unfortunately, we’re just going to have to let it grow out a bit and gel it so it doesn’t look so awful. This was the final straw for Shear Madness and we’ll never be back

my fiancé, took our son to get his haircut. Our appointment was at 1:15. He said when he got there there was a lady on the phone that just totally ignored him and nobody else was there. He waited for a little bit and then he finally just told my son to go pick out a seat,  the woman from the front totally ignored him and walked to the back. He said about 5 to 10 minutes later that woman and another woman came out. One of the women had tattoos on her arms. He said he couldn’t remember her name, but she looked drugged out and started talking to my fiancé to begin my sons haircut when my son was getting Squamish because he was afraid of the clippers my fiancé asked her if they could use the clippers that are quiet I know that sounds funny, but they’ve used them before there, this is not our first time going and the lady acted like she didn’t know what he was talking about and then she asked my fiancé why my son was making funny noises and if he was OK because he kept moving around totally inappropriate first of all, you work in a business that revolves around cutting small children’s hair and a lot of those small children are afraid I was just very disappointed and if I had been there, I would’ve definitely spoken up. He just wanted to hurry up and get the haircut done he didn’t want to say anything because he didn’t want her to maybe purposely cut our son because she was frustrated or something but he said both of them were very rude and suspicious looking like they had been doing drugs and they were the only two in the shop and no other people were there 10/24/23
