Hairy Elephant Hair Salon

Stylist was great with my granddaughter's first haircut. Atmosphere was awesome and the staff put her at ease and she didn't cry! Highly recommend!

Vikki is the best! I highly recommend her adv'd the establishment. It's always the highlight of my daughter's day!

So patient with my special needs son who cries as if he is dying every cut. I dont feel judged for still cutting it even though he hates it, like most places. Plenty of fun things to keep kids distracted dvds video games and fun cars to sit in. Waiting room even has toys too keep them occupied. Well worth the visit and the waiting list to get in. I just scheduled appointments.

I've had an appointment booked for my son for over a month now for his first haircut. As we are on our way there (I live 30 minutes away)I get a call that we need to cancel his appointment. Pretty frustrating considering I stated when I booked his appointment I said I needed it done this weekend because we are leaving for vacation. Not a good first impression at all.

Yesterday I took my baby boy who is a year and three months to this salon to have a haircut, the lady who cut my son her on the appointment at 6pm, is just super rude, and she was older lady, not a young stylist, she was old lady, trying to look younger off course, but you can't hide your age when you are old you are old, she was basically talking so rudely to me and as a mom of course I don't want my child to cry, and that was bothering her, "yeah he is crying and you will hold him, oh please, " that what she told me.

Then I told her he is crying."And then she said " oh yeah is that what all kids was do today, mom please give me a space here." All this of course with a smile at the end.of course my son end up vomiting too, because I couldn't do much for him. And all what I can do is just to wait to finish and take my son and never come back again, and that was expensive for just basic haircut to pay $28 for such a service and such personality, I wish that I told her to go to find another job or cut adults hair since she can't pair to deal with kids. I don't recommend this place to any mom.

We've been coming Here for little over a year now and had a good experience till our stylist left and been dealing with the new one I believe her name is Vicki a little older compared to the rest of the stylist, she is rude and have no patience with kids she was getting an attitude with my wife. Will not be using this place anymore. Service: Haircut

Awesome experience! All kinds of vehicles to sit in, variety of movies, lots of toys! Friendly staff and a great variety of things to purchase! We'll definitely be coming back!

I take my son here for hair cuts, and he loves the cool cars inside the salon, he picks a movie and enjoys his haircut.

The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because of Jenna Marie! She is the BEST hairdresser. Hands down we have never had a bad experience with her. She is beyond sweet, really takes her time and gives attention to every little detail. If she were to ever leave I guarantee we would follow! Now there is another "new" hairdresser that we had a recent interaction with due to not being able to get in with Jenna Marie.

She was TERRIBLE! So unprofessional, distracted and she did not listen to what we request for our sons haircut at all. I did not even want to pay I was so mad but I did anyway to avoid causing a scene. I believe she said her name was Vicki? I'm not sure. she's a little older then the other girls. Terrible terrible experience with her. I'm not sure how or why she was hired.

We have been twice there felt same. No patience nor kids friendly. The hairstylist shouted at us says that she know how to deal with kids. She has not given any space for my kid to breathe. He cried a lot as it was his second hair cut. If the kid sit silent then y do we need to go to kids saloon? I didn't understand how they are getting 5 star from so many people

We booked our appointment 3 weeks ago and we were so excited to go. It seemed like an experience, not just a haircut. It had the opportunity to be a fun place, but it was extremely unprofessional. The hairdresser was on the phone for most of our visit, and it was definitely something that should have been dealt with not while she was cutting my child's hair.

I do understand it can be hard to get things done outside of work hours, but it was extremely uncomfortable to be a part of this meeting, and completely ruined the whole experience. The only reason I did not give 1 star is because she did do a decent job on his hair. We won't be back.

I'm surprised they have so many 5 star reviews. If I'm rating them on how cute the shop is or for the value that I pay as compared to other haircut places then I would give them a five star, but I give them zero stars for their kid friendliness and professionalism. I have been taking three of my kids here for eight years and every visit and every phone call the girl at the front (and it's been multiple girls at the front)sounds like she's dead to the world and hates her job.

The hairstylists are not very kid friendly, for a kid specific haircut company I would expect everybody in there including the girl at the front to sound like they are the happiest person in the world. It's very disappointing since they are the ONLY kid specific haircut company in the area. Maybe that's why they think they can get away with it.

I recently took my children for a haircut here. We had been going for about 5 years. I took my youngest for his first haircut recently, and was dismayed to see that none of the staff was wearing masks. The St. Louis County mask mandate went into effect the day before also (7/26/21). Their main clientele are children - most of which couldn't be vaccinated if they want to.

They should show more care for the kids (and families) they serve. Even if there weren't a mandate - which there was - they should be wearing masks just because they are dealing with a large population of kids under 12 years old who can't be vaccinated. It is irresponsible, uncaring, and lacks any sort of compassion for a business that is targeted toward children. We won't be going back again.

I was shocked to walk in and find no staff wearing masks and parents not wearing masks, especially since there was a St. Louis County mask mandate that went into effect the day before (7/26/21). This business is catered to children who aren't eligible to receive the covid-19 vaccine. I have given this store my business for 5 years but I will not be back. I will support a business that care's about the safety of kids 12 and under even once there is a vaccine available for all ages.

Jenna Marie did an amazing job with our little man Ozzie for his very first haircut. She also was great with this very nervous momma. I was so nervous he would sit still, or that he would cry, or that I would leave hating his hair. It was such a relief to quickly see how much she cared about making us happy. She asked questions and listened to us the whole time.making sure she wasn't cutting too much or too little. She even played one of his favorite movies for him. Finding Nemo! We were so happy and we will definitely be bringing Ozzie back to see her again for all of his cuts.

We got our kids' first haircuts here and we were very pleased with the experience. Jamie did such a good job! She explained everything to my daughter in kid-friendly terms so my daughter was more comfortable. She cut my daughter's hair exactly like I asked, and she styled a pretty braid with butterfly clips that my daughter loved. Jamie also was very accommodating with my special needs son.

Since this was both of their first haircuts, they each received a certificate, a photo, and a lock of hair. I think that made it very special! We are so excited to come back!

Amazing talent to make your kids look their very best in an environment that is most welcoming for a fair price. Highly recommended.

For a first-time haircut, I cannot imagine a better place to bring your kiddo. They were very sweet and kept our daughter entertained. They also give you a certificate, a picture of her cut, and a little bag with the first few hairs. I highly recommend this specific location and business for infant and toddler cuts.

So I have been trying to find a place to help with my son's curly hair. Needless to say we will not be back. I scheduled a curly hair consult (which I did not get, they said the receptionist wrote it down wrong) So instead of spending an hour there it was less than 10 mins. I told her I read to cut curly hair dry and the first thing she did was wet it and started chopping away.

Its so short now hardly any curls. This was on their website of how they handle curly hair and this was not the service he recieved NOTE: We'll be cutting your child's hair DRY, then shampooing/conditioning the hair afterwards. To get the most from your consultation, it's best to shampoo and condition your child's hair as usual, but let it dry as it falls naturally so that we can detect every curl, wave and cowlick--please, no brushing, combing, clips, headbands, caps, hats, etc. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to call in advance.

We took our son to the Hairy Elephant for his first official haircut, and they did a great job! He got to sit in a cute train chair, watch videos, and got a certificate with his picture and a lock of hair. It was adorable! Our stylist did a great job too! Our son was stunned into silence, so that helps, but the stylist was fast and efficient, and his hair looked really cute afterwards. I would definitely recommend this place!

We have had nothing but fabulous experiences here! Miss Lynne is incredible with my squirmy 15 month old. She is so quick and patient as I continuously feed him snacks. Highly recommended for baby's first haircut! They give you a cute little certificate and souvenirs.

Love this place! My 5 yr old son had a great experience here. He has special needs & has a hard time sitting still, but the hair stylist (Molly) was very patient & worked very well with him. She did a great job! The haircut was great & she then washed his hair with shampoo that he picked out. They have several choices of good smelling shampoos (cotton candy, watermelon, cupcake, cherry, etc.) that the kids get to pick out themselves.

The total cost was $20. There are also some play stations with a good assortment of toys for the kids to enjoy while they wait - or before/after the haircut if there is no wait. They recommend making an appointment, but also take walk-ins. We went at 3:00 on a Thursday & fortunately there wasn't a wait. I highly recommend this place!

We took our son for his 1st haircut and Molly did great! She was patient with him moving some and I lobe the certificate they give you if you wish. It comes with a picture of them and locks of their hair. It was only $1.00 extra and it was totally worth it! I do think they could clean the toys out and also the race car seats the kids sit in a little more. Maybe their old, but they look like they need a good scrub down. The experience was great, but price wise is a little steep for a children's cut, but it was ok.

This was our 3.5 year olds first haircut and we all were a little nervous. But no fear - the Hairy Elephant and Molly, or stylist, were so wonderful with us and gave her a beautiful haircut. Great experience.

Very unhappy with the cut! Wish I could get my money back! Went there today for my daughter's (just turned 1) first haircut. Nora the stylist was nice and friendly. I told her to keep the adorable little natural swoop in my daughters bangs, as that was my favorite! I also said I wanted to keep the length in the top. She said she understood, then gave my daughter a blunt cut across the bangs!

Then cut the length throughout. It looks like a little Dutch boy / bowl cut. NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR. My husband was furious that she "looks like a boy now that she has a boys haircut. Even the "blunt" bangs were choppy and uneven. I know kids squirm but my daughter was surprisingly still and perfect. Save your $20. The cuteness factor did not outweigh the terrible cut! Here's to hoping it grows out quickly.

It's too bad there aren't more places for 1-yr-olds to get a good haircut. Don't waste your money at this one. It's expensive and yet it's dreadfully underwhelming. 2/5 - Cleanliness of Salon 2/5 - Friendliness of Staff 1/5 - Value

I was stuck in traffic and arrived 1 min past the appointment time and the woman turned us away. I had driven all the way out from the city and my sons haircut takes less than 15 minutes to do, but the woman at the front desk insisted that since I was 60 seconds past the cutoff time, that I had to reschedule. She was rude and clearly didn't care and just kept repeating herself like a robot. No management was available. Just a sad place that clearly cares nothing about a mom's busy schedule trying to manage everything. I will certainly never be back.

We had my son's first and second haircuts here. They give you a certificate with a lock of hair on it, which is cute, and the stylists were very nice and extremely patient (I suppose they'd have to be, to cut screaming kids' hair all day long). Haircuts are expensive ($20 for cut only, no shampoo). The thing that will keep me from ever returning, however, is that the salon is NOT CLEAN.

The little cars that the kids sit in for their cuts are FULL of hair from previous cuts. They need to be cleaned out WAY more often than they are, if not after every cut. Cute concept, poor execution.
