The sensory overload, the unfamiliar surroundings, and the buzzing of clippers - yes, I'm talking about haircuts. For kids on the spectrum, they can be a very unpleasant experience.

But they don't have to.

If you are a parent of a gifted child with special needs, the stylists at Cookie Cutters Haircuts For Kids are just what you are looking for. They know just how to eliminate that anxiety and provide your child with comfort, patience, and understanding.

You might ask, okay but what’s so different about salons like Cookie Cutters Haircuts - what’s the big deal? Well, what if I told you that the salon’s stylists can go to such great lengths to make sure that your child is happy and comfortable that they would even give haircuts while walking around with them?

That may sound a little crazy but once you hear the rest, you will clearly realize that this is the perfect environment for a child with special needs.

Upon entering Cookie Cutters Haircuts’ premises, your child will be invited to choose their favorite fantasy car that they may ride during the haircut. They can choose other distractions as well, such as various shows for kids and games. Moreover, the stylists are equipped with bubbles, suckers, and balloons to make sure that your kid leaves the salon with a memory of a fun experience - so fun that they will want to go back.

Speaking of the hairstylists - they are experienced in the care and attention that autistic kids need and deserve. They will take time at the beginning of the haircut to consult with parents about what their children are comfortable with.

The salon explains that for children with Autism or sensory differences, the line of communication between the stylist and the parent is of utmost importance. For example, you should not be afraid to express every concern that you may have, such as noise or bright lights that might be triggering for your child. The stylist will take every precaution to make sure the experience is safe and fun.

Furthermore, the preparation for the haircut is as important as the haircut itself. It’s advisable that you have a schedule in mind that is comfortable for your child. For instance, a visit immediately after school may turn out to be overwhelming as kids will often come home from school overstimulated.

It’s also a good idea that you pack a toy or the child’s favorite stuffed animal that will give them comfort and help them distract themselves.

Cookie Cutters Haircuts For Kids has been in business for over 25 years. Its salons can be found in multiple Colorado locations such as Lakewood, Longmont, Loveland, and Highlands Ranch.

And, most importantly, Cookie Cutters Haircuts for Kids welcomes all children.
