What actually happens between walking in and walking out

Miss Kenna, thirteen years behind the chair. Miss Halle, the second chair. Open since November 2023.

Most children have been told to sit still in a chair that was built for an adult, under a cape that reaches their knees, while somebody they have never met comes at them with clippers. It goes badly often enough that parents put the haircut off for months.

This room was built the other way around. The chairs are cars. There is a screen at every station running whatever your kid wants to watch, and an Xbox in the salon chairs for the older ones and for the parents who want a turn. Nobody is rushed out. If it takes three visits to get a whole haircut, it takes three visits.

Five plates

The room on North Oak
The floor of a hair salon, with product shelves along one wall and clients in the chairs.
01The room is one open floor, so a parent never has to leave a nervous kid alone at the back of a shop.
A small child in a red shirt sitting in a blue and white ride-on toy car.
02The little ones pick a car and get in it. The haircut happens around them while they drive.
A boy in a white t-shirt holding a black and red game controller in both hands.
03Xbox in the salon chairs. Two players, so a sibling waiting their turn has something to do.
A boy having his hair cut, photographed in black and white from behind the chair.
04Scissors first with the ones who flinch at clippers. Kenna will work around a hood, a hat or a parent's lap.
A young boy with a freshly cut and styled haircut, looking to one side.
05Sticker, sucker, and a toy off the shelf. Every cut, not just the first one.

There is no age limit here. Grown-ups sit in the same chairs and get the same cut.

Sensory appointments

Haircuts can be genuinely hard for a child with sensory differences. The clippers buzz, the cape is tight, the mirror is loud, and there is a stranger standing behind them holding something sharp.

Miss Kenna sets aside specific hours for these appointments and works them solo, so the second chair is quiet and the room is not full. Sensory Saturdays and Sensory Sundays were added in August 2025 for families who cannot make a weekday.

How to book one

  1. Open the booking page and choose Sensory Boy Haircut or Sensory Girl Haircut. Do not book a standard cut and add a note.
  2. Pick a time inside the sensory hours, which are marked in blue on the booking calendar. Appointments booked outside those hours have to be moved.
  3. If you want the first haircut package for a sensory appointment, still book the sensory cut and say so in the notes.
  4. Call (816) 298-3404 if none of the marked times work. Kenna would rather find you a slot than have you give up on it.
