We take our kids to Peek-a-Do! across the street from Southpoint mall and it is wonderful! We have been going there for 2 years now and the staff is great, it is clean and they have a great toy selection too! My daughter loves the glitter she gets at the end of her haircut, we have even gotten manicures for her and her friend! Our son was a very "reluctant" customer at first and now we can't get him out the door! He loves sitting in the boat or airplane or car and his haircuts have always been great. I highly recommend Peek-a-Do! and I know you and your kids will love it!
Another fan of Peek-A-Do! Not only is it a great environment for a kid's hair salon, but it's also a mini toy store that specializes in nifty wooden toys and puzzles and old fashioned tops. My daughter enjoys watching DVDs during the haircut and sitting in an airplane.
One nice outing is to schedule a Peek-A-Do haircut and follow up with a photo session across the street at Southpoint's Picture People.

I know many folks are fans of peek-a-do but I am not. We've only been twice (both times this summer) but I found the staff to be cold and detached with the kids and the parents. I have a neighbor who has had a similar experience. Also the cars that the kids sit in are appropriate for about age 3 and under. My 7 & 4 year olds could not fit in any of the cars. We've been to other kid hair cut places that have those kid jeeps from mattel and mattel motorcycles so even the big kids fit.
In the Southpoint area near target is Sports Clips which caters to boys and men mainly. My 7 year old thought that was fun and it was only $12 and the lady was super friendly. And at Sports Clips they also will gel or spray color in your hair for free.

We absolutely love Peek-a-Do and tell everyone about it. They do a fantastic job on my kids' hair and the staff are super-friendly. We go there for manicures on teacher workdays and then go have lunch at Southpoint. It's the only place in town that will do a cute manicure for a 4 year old and talk to her the whole time!! My younger daughter was invited to a birthday party there and didn't stop talking about it for weeks. We'll probably do a party there for her next birthday. I absolutely recommend Peek-a-Do!!
I know. Everytime I go in one and there's a screaming child (and my son was one of them last year) I nearly lose it. I can't imagine trying to deal with that every day.
When my daughter was younger I took her to Snip-Its. The hair stylist snipped her eyebrow while trimming her bangs. That's why my daughter was crying. They didn't charge us and I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
I, too, am not a fan of Peek a Dos. It's clean and looks nice, but the two times we went there, they hacked my girl's hair. She has a simple bob style and they just didn't get it straight. Everytime I look at the back of her head, I keep thinking about how I'll never go back there. Cost cutters or Great Clips are the way to go. Cheap and decent.
