Quick info
About El Corte Magico
El Corte Magico is a combined salon and barbershop on S Broadway in Lawrence. Alongside standard haircuts, one barber on staff offers women's braiding, giving the shop a wider range than a typical cut-only counter. Appointments run by booking, and calling ahead helps for a specific barber since the shop tends to fill up. Haircuts are done for children as well as adults, with barbers taking extra time when a child is nervous or wants a parent close during the cut. The shop functions as a single stop for a family needing a range of services, from a child's first haircut to braiding work, without splitting the visit across two businesses.

Customer Review Summary
Patience with nervous or young children is what reviewers return to again and again, with several describing one barber using music and dance to ease a scared child into a cut and build independence and confidence. Parents repeatedly credit him for salvaging a haircut after "a previous salon really messed up" a child's hair, and describe him and the rest of the staff as attentive and kind with kids. Close behind, another barber earns praise for beard styling and for being "the only one here doing elaborate women's braiding," with reviewers calling him meticulous. One reviewer also singles out a stylist as a personal favorite. Several mention the shop gets busy and advise calling ahead for an appointment, especially for the two most requested barbers. Reviewers describe pricing as affordable. The recurring close note across reviews is a child leaving the chair happy after a barber worked patiently to get the cut exactly right.
