Cool Tops in Rockridge
Re: Haircut for a 10-year-old boy (Feb 2005)
You should try the new Cool Tops in Rockridge. Across from BART,
just off College Ave. We just had a great experience there with
Marissa.

Cool Tops in Lafayette
Re: Haircut for a 10-year-old boy (Feb 2005)
We've been going to Karen @ Cool Tops for the past 3 years and
love her. Their # is 925.284.5360. My son (now 7) has only had
his hair cut by Karen (except for once -- big mistake) and she
does a great job. The salon is set up for kids and they have
videos to watch as well as toys to play with while they wait for
their appt. It's worth a drive through the tunnel, as the big
mistake haircut was at the Cool Tops in Oakland off College.

I think Cool Tops in Lafayette is great. We've been everywhere
from Solano Avenue to Rockridge and Piedmont Avenue and have
found Cool Tops the best by far. The stylists are far superior,
thet have movies for the kids and your little one can have
his/her haircut sitting on a horse, motorcyle or racecar.

I always take my son to Nancy at Cool Tops in Lafayette. We've
had mixed experiences with other people there, but Nancy has a
gentle manner and talks to my son and encourages him through
the haircut. She always asks what we want to do and how to cut
it (i.e. scissors or shears). Their ''chairs'' are a car, a
motorcycle, and a carousel horse. They also play videos for the
kids to watch during the haircut.

We live in Oakland and had tried several places.
We thought we found the perfect place--Cool Tops in
Lafayette. While it was a 20 minute drive, it was very clean,
had distractions to keep my son still, and I liked the cuts.
Then we had two bad experiences in a row. In the last one, the
hairdresser never showed up due to transportation problem--which
she called about 15 minutes after our appointment was scheduled.
The owner made no accomodation and told us that we should just
come back later if we wanted a cut. This was even though there
were no other customers in the store, there were two other
stylists (including the owner) sitting waiting for their next
appoinments, and not only did I have my 4 year old son, but a new
baby. So we've gone back to Snips again.
