Kids sit still when it matters
Most shops rush a kid's cut. We don't. Here's what parents in Mission Valley say after bringing their kids in.
My son usually squirms the whole time. Here, he actually sat still and watched the whole thing. The cut was sharp and clean.

First haircut for my daughter, and they were so patient with her. She left smiling and her hair looked great for school pictures.
