Quick info
About Styles & Smiles
On Henderson Dr in Jacksonville, Styles & Smiles is a hairdresser that takes appointments for cuts at every age, including first haircuts for toddlers. After the cut, children receive a certificate marking the milestone, sometimes along with a bag of their trimmed hair or a sucker. The stylist walks kids through each step of the process as it happens, talking them through the haircut to help ease them along the way. The shop opens Tuesday through Saturday and stays closed Mondays and Sundays, with appointments booked in advance rather than taken on a walk-in basis.

Customer Review Summary
Parents come mainly for a child's first haircut, and reviewers consistently describe the stylist as patient with toddlers who cry, scream, or pull away. One parent of two year old twins says she stayed sweet and still finished quickly while one twin fought the cut. Another, whose four year old autistic son was nervous, says she talked him through the parts he was unsure about and did exactly the cut requested. A mother also mentions the stylist's mom holding the door for a double stroller and bringing a tissue mid-cut. One reviewer dissents, calling the visit unfriendly and telling parents seeking a baby's first haircut to go elsewhere. Still, several say they will book again, and one says a son who screamed at three other shops stayed calm here. Keepsakes come up repeatedly: a first haircut certificate, a bag of the child's hair, and a sucker.

“Honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars. I stepped out on a limb and got my son’s hair cut here awhile back. She went above and beyond to listen to me and do his hair exactly how I wanted it. Fast forward to today - I went in to get my …”

“Ms. Alexandria did phenomenal on my boy’s hair. She was so so sweet, and is the best kid’s stylist I’ve encountered. She talked them through each stage of the haircut, and reassured them when needed. My son told me he “really liked that place” when we left. Will absolutely book with her again when the time comes!”

“It has taken me far too long to leave this review and for that I apologize. We took our 17 month old to get his first haircut. After a bit of research we found Styles & Smiles in Jacksonville NC and the reviews lead us to believe that Ms …”
