Hairy Elephant Salon Special Needs Services

The Hairy Elephant is a full-service salon exclusively for kids.

Children with Autism have become a special area of focus for us. Special training for our staff, as well as information about what would be helpful to make a routine haircut easier for these children, was provided by local Autism groups.

Besides training, we work hard on the atmosphere. We even search out special tools of the trade. We utilize the quietest clippers and trimmers available professionally, and most stations have novelty cars for kids to sit on while getting a haircut. Adult styling chairs are also available for bigger kids or a child that is more comfortable sitting on a parent’s lap. Each station has a TV/DVD/VCR so children can watch one of our many movies or bring a favorite from home. We also have weighted lap pads and continue to look into other equipment to help make the haircut experience better.
