Cartoon Cuts is a primary-colored kids' haircut chain where the name of the game is distraction. The waiting area is filled with toys, puzzles, art supplies, and video game stations.

Like most salons, this local chain offers a variety of hair care products and accessories for sale, including its own line. Be prepared for other temptations, like Pokemon paraphrenalia on display, as well.

Should your youngster be ready for his or her first piercing, Cartoon Cuts provides this service too. Ears only.
