Kristine’s Kuts

Wonderful!!! We tried three times and we are always happy with their service. They know how to treat small kids and kids really love them. I like the fact that even after a few months, the hair does not become strange. Great technique!

Amazing! My son is 18 months and very busy! Kristine did a wonderful job and he was entertained the entire time. She put on a movie and he was so happy! Towards the end when he got restless she had me hold him and finished up! I love his haircut! Would HIGhLY recommend for a first time haircut! Also starbucks is within walking distance which is another plus!

We love Gary!!! My son started going to him when he was 1 ½yrs old. Lots of tears in the beginning but Gary knew exactly how to work with him and was very fast. Now my son LOVES going there to see Gary and the train table. We also live in Danville and make our way to Lafayette since there are no good places for kids to get their haircut. Thanks Gary!

Came here to get a haircut for both my kids (11month son and 3 yr old daughter). She was friendly and playful with the kids. Did a great job with both of them. We were in and out in 30 minutes. A little pricey for a quick cut, but great service

Awesome place! We slipped in for a last minute appointment on a Saturday afternoon for our 7 and 4 year old girls. Great price, clean, and friendly. This will be our new go-​to place. Highly recommend!

Great place! Both my little ladies had their first haircuts here, staff is great and my girls always enjoy the experiance. $ 18. cuts and they do a fantsstic job.

I brought my boys here several times, all by appointment. My first impression of Kristine was that she was rude. However, I went back again because I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt and maybe she was having a bad day that day. That second visit she was rude again, as if working with children was something she didn’t enjoy. Then my third (and would be my last,) I noticed she was only rude to me and my boys but she was nice to other customers (we’re not white). Not going back there again! Also, they only take cash… kinda effy since its 2015.

Awesome place. Gary is the only one so far who can cut my three year old son’s hair without him screaming. Plenty of toys and videos for little kids to play with and watch.

We live in Oakland. That’s right, Oakland, and we followed GARY out to Kristine’s Kuts as my son did not want anyone else to cut his hair. It’s totally worth the drive not only for the great boy’s haircut (we are often asked who cuts his hair), but also to visit with Gary who is friendly, funny, and really talks to my son. Our neighbor goes too, so it’s a bi-​monthly carpool for the boys. Super fro-​yo nearby.

My 4 year old son has gotten his haircut twice and my 2 year old son has gotten his haircut once by Kristine. I like Kristine and Gary seems nice as well. The store is nicely lit and they have a fun car for the kids to sit in while they get their haircuts. They also have a fun train table that my kids love.

Some businesses prompt you to write a review, and this is one of those instances.
I work as a full time (temporary career) nanny and take care of 3 boys. The boys have been coming here for years. So I got dragged into taking them here.
(I can’t help but giggle to see her response of «new babysitter». But hey, considering I’ve been taking them every two months for the past year proves her ignorance for me. I don’t give a shit if I’m not a parent. I’m still a person. Plus, I’m the one who takes them to Ms. Karen’s now. Tough luck.)
Tuesday I spoke to Gary and made an appointment with Kristine on Friday for 3 haircuts. My work schedule can be insane, I’m accustomed to confirmation calls, whatever. So, Friday arrived, my schedule was insane, I forgot the appointment. Kristine called, obviously irritated. So she complains, «It’s a busy Friday. Blah blah blah. Can you give me their moms number? You’re just the babysitter anyway-​right? Well I’m booked the next few weeks so you better just call back later… Confirmation calls? No, we don’t do that.»
Anyway,
I never liked Kristine (or Gary) to begin with. They talk to parents, but never said much to me! Why are nannies disgraced? And it’s stupid to ask me for the moms number when she’s rarely been there (she doesn’t go to haircut appts or schedule them so wtf? Not to mention Kristine miraculously finding her number to express her discontent with my review when she has my number). The shop is fine, it has a train table inside. It has chairs and magazines. But when you don’t like the people-​why deal with it? I actually feel liberated haha!
They take cash or checks which is inconvenient. I’m checking out Ms. Karen’s place on Tuesday so I hope to leave a better review for her!

Came here because Miss Karen, who normally cuts my daughter’s hair and is just down the street, was out with a broken arm. Saw the great reviews, so we gave Kristine a shot. From the beginning, she didn’t say hi and treated my daughter like an object on an assembly line. The cut she gave was just ok, and she was unfriendly and was making snide remarks under her breath. At the end, when I asked her if she had a lollipop for my daughter, she just pointed to where they were instead of showing my daughter and offering her one. Surprised she gets such positive reviews on here. I’m glad Miss Karen is back at work and will continue going there. I recommend her. She’s warm, professional, has goodies for the kids, and is even cheaper than Kristine!

Kristine gave my 15 month old son a really cute haircut while he stayed entertained in the race car seat. Very reasonable price, too. We’ll be back again for the next haircut. Thanks Kristine!

When I walked in, I was impressed by the cleanliness and spaciousness of this shop. My son also loved the train table in the back. However, beyond that, I wasn’t blown away by my overall experience. Despite having no one else in the store, the owners acted too busy to say hello when we entered.
At a year old, my son was particularly sensitive at that age. And while he doesn’t usually love haircuts, he will usually tolerate them. This was the first time we brought him here and it was the first time he cried on the top of his lungs the entire time. You would think that someone in this business would be used to a crying baby but the hair stylist acted like it was the most repulsive thing she’d ever seen.
In the end, she declared that «he’s gonna hate having haircuts for a very long time». Well, that turned out not to be true because he’s had excellent and uneventful haircuts ever since… elsewhere.

Love this place! They do a great job every time and my daughter loves it there so much that she never wants to leave. The princess treatment with the glitter and ribbon after the cut is just the icing on the cake. We’ll be back again and again.

Gary is awesome! My 2 year old son hates getting his haircut and cries and squirmed the entire time. Gary was very patient and understanding the whole time. Thank you!

Took my almost 19 month old today and I couldn’t be happier! He sat in the car, watched Elmo and held a train! What more could a toddler ask for? He didn’t cry at all and Kristine was awesome and very gentle! His hair looks great! Ill be bringing my older son here in a few weeks! Thanks!!!

Kristine is the best! She is a skilled stylist who listens to requests and produces quality results. Her salon is clean, pleasant and there are toys for the little ones. Do your kids a favor and head for Kristine’s Kuts.

Gary cut my three year old’s hair. Since my wife seems to think I’m about the same age, I got a quick trim too. I was a little hesitant at first but he did a great job.
Now it’s family hair cut time together. Great job Gary!

Clean, pleasant, and brightly lit, this was the perfect place for my little one to get her first haircut. Expertly cut by Kristine, my daughter’s hair was in her capable hands. Kristine worked efficiently and skillfully despite my daughter’s cries and squirms.
Alas, I had hoped to take photos or video the experience but I had to hold my munchkin throughout the experience. There’s a cute car, complete with seatbelt that little kids get to sit in during their haircut but my daughter wouldn’t stay in it. Kristine also turned on an Elmo video but again, she didn’t take. Not Kristine’s fault!
$ 15 for the first haircut, $ 18 after that. Appointments recommended — haircuts are scheduled every 15 minutes on the hour. Free parking right outside the shop. Cash or check only.
Five stars to a patient and sweet Kristine, who even tied a pink bow in my daughter’s hair. Superstar!
