Upon entering the styling station, parents can be close at hand where Snip-its specially-trained stylists work their Snip-its Magic while the child is kept busily entertained with custom activities featuring Snips and The Gang. Beyond the traditional haircut, Snip-its also offers a professional brand of hair care products and wide variety of kid-friendly spa services and parties.

Defined by the branded characters, stories, and a Magic Box that dispenses a prize at the end of the service, Snip-its is turning a traditionally mundane and often unpleasant experience into a fun-filled, animated adventure. Virtually unheard of in the hair care industry, the brand implements a unique and one of a kind stylist training program specifically for children with Autism, as part of their partnership with the national Autism Speaks organization.
