Places to get kids’ haircuts in Chicago

This hair salon is all about the little ones. Kids will be distracted by the brightly colored room along with the videos they can watch while getting their hair cut. With seven additional locations in the suburbs, there's no excuse for floppy bangs and overgrown bowl cuts.

Pickle's Playroom has it all: a large indoor playroom, an inviting cafe and a hip hair salon. Kids love the huge slide area and the air traffic control tower, and parents adore the café, which serves Metropolis coffee and tasty snacks. As an added bonus, you can get your kid's hair cut in the salon, which also sells hair products and accessories. (Psst! The staff is trained to pierce ears, too.)

This Spanish- and English-speaking hair salon stocks all kinds of kids' hair products, accessories and toys. In addition to haircuts, stylists will do various braids and up-dos, along with free bang trims for repeat clients.

This Colorado-born hipster barbershop does great cuts for a reasonable price. With seven locations throughout the city—from South Loop to Wrigleyville and Wicker Park to Streeterville—it's easy to pop in for a quick cut or beard trim. A little known secret: They also cut kids' hair. They do a great job without the kiddie hoopla at kids-only salons.

This New York transplant may be best known for its playspace and Rockin' Railroad music classes, but this one-stop shop also has a mini-salon. A little car chair is set up in the front of the space for little ones to get a quick trim before heading to the gym to run off some excess energy.

This local chain of forest-themed hair salons is all about the littles. Each haircut chair is a different vehicle (think pink convertibles and blue locomotives) and there are plenty of kids' games, video games, books and toys to keep them occupied while they wait.
