    We went a couple of times and they never disappoint. Everyone there is so nice and Katy is so sweet and skillful. They also have a number of covid safe procedures such as dividers and disenfecting. They give the child a tablet to watch with their favourite shows playing while having their haircut, and a sweet treat afterwards. A lovely experience all in all.

    Great service, lovely team taking time and care of the kids haircut. All covid safe with gowns,masks and a cleaned station once a chair is released for the next cut. The shop side is well stocked with a increased selection of kids shoes and clothes as well as other goodies.My kid preferred place for a bit of pampering, personal tablet entertainment while cutting the hair and chocolate treat at the end.

    Would definitely recommend! Took our 16mo for his first haircut not knowing how he’d react. Katy was fantastic and our little one was totally relaxed and at ease, if a little wriggly. Respected COVID precautions well and the iPad was a helpful distraction too. Was expecting to pay more. Brilliant haircut, will definitely be back, thanks!

    My son is on the spectrum and used to have long hair as he couldn't stand to be touched on his head to have it cut, we tried a few places and he'd become really distressed and anxious, so we left it. Then when he was 5 he decided on his own that he wanted to have shorter hair so we decided to try here (altrincham branch) based on positive reviews and a recommendation from someone at my sons school. He loves it, he's been visiting here for about a year now. He has Chelsea to cut his hair and he really likes her, she's patient with him and respects his sensory boundaries, she makes him feel listened to, he loves how she uses praise led encouragement and calls him a superstar and a funny bunny. He looks forward to coming for his hair cut now and calls it time to visit his friend Chelsea! It's a bit of a journey in for us, about an hour if there's bad traffic (and traffic CAN be tricky on washway road sometimes) but we consider it to be worth it due to the positive experience had upon arrival. I can't stress enough how distressing haircuts were for him prior to finding this place and we gave up completely because it would always end in screaming, panicked, anxious sobbing. But once he had made up his own mind that he wanted to try a proper haircut - I couldn't recommend here enough as a perfect starting point to begin your child's haircutting journey/experience.

    Went for a first hair cut for our little person. Really friendly and while there were tears Chelsea was great at keeping us all calm. We’ll be going back regularly

    Today my son and I visited Little Bigheads in Altrincham and received outstanding customer service. Feet measured and school shoes accomplished plus a pair of trainers. Sarah was fantastic in helping my son and brought out several pairs to try, plus with insoles so school shoes will last a bit longer! I also want to highlight that my son is 10 years old and a great selection of shoes for his size. We are super pleased, thank you so much! Nina and Lukas

    My son had a wonderful first haircut from Katy in Altrincham. She spoke to him so calmly and made us feel relaxed and not rushed during what was initially quite a scary time for him. At the end he was so happy and was almost high-fiving the staff. I know he'll be really happy to go back. All the recommendations I was giving by friends were correct 🙂

    Fantastic first haircut experience. Warm and friendly staff. My little girl donated her hair to the little princess trust and she was really made a fuss of. Thank you.

    Attended last week and my two girls had their hair cut by Katy. She was amazing with my them. She spoke to them in a soft manner which put them at ease and listened to their ideas and made them feel confident. Will definitely be returning as their hair cuts were fabulous and was very pleased with the whole experience.

    We did the daddy daughter branding session and the girls were so good. Very patient with me and gave some great tips to help with styling and caring for our daughter hair.they did such a good job of keeping our toddler entertained and happy during the session, which is a miracle 😂

    This hair dressers is simply the best hair dresser I have ever been to with my child. The staff are amazing, my little one LOVES watching the tablet to keep her still and calm whilst she has her hair done. They also sell amazing T-shirts and shoes for the kids too (and they also get a little treat at the end of the hair cut too which is a brilliant personal touch)

    The team were really understanding about a late cancellation during the busy run up to Christmas and then called me back with an alternative slot when one came up. I got there a little late and my 2yo was a bit unsure as only his 3rd visit. Katy was really patient, knew how to settle him, did a really quick cut that looks beautiful. Amazing work, fantastic customer experience.

    My daughter loves this place - staff are kind and hard working. There's a great shop for shoes and clothes, and the kids haircuts are great

    Brilliant staff, all really patient and understanding of my toddler's reluctance to have his hair cut. Highly recommend.

    I came today for a dad and daughter hair styling tutorial as I am pretty useless and felt rubbish I couldn't style me daughters hair. The team really helped me and we're such lovely people I honestly can't thank them enough. I can't remember the ladies names but they were both absolute stars and taught me a great deal. Thanks so much mike

    Katy is the best. She is fantastic. She does my sons hair when we go. My son has autism and Katy absolutely goes above and beyond to accommodate and make his experience pleasant. Because she is the best she has a large waiting list so we have had to go with Jo who gets easily flustered and left my son with an uneven hair cut. I realise my child is autistic and gave her the benefit of the doubt and booked in again but still she was flustered, it was a rush service, the cut was not what I asked for and for £20 I didn’t like it. The website says that the cater to autistic children. The problem is the staff vary from Katy to Jo so it depends who you book in with. The shop itself is lovely, child sized chairs, iPads with Netflix, a bowl of sweeties, a space for siblings to wait. And the shop at the front sell some beautiful shoes and clothes. There is parking at the back and the shop is accessible from the back car park as well as the front.

    I didn't get the name of the wonderful lady that did my sons hair today but she was perfect. So patient and worked with us while my son was quite upset. He's 2 and doesn't like getting his done! But will definitely be coming back here.

    A wonderful shop! I always get my little girls hair done here they are so lovely. A added bonus is you can buy kids shoes and other kids stuff too. I will take some photo's next time.

    Little bigheads is great. Our son has only had two haircuts and both were at little bigheads. We were recommended it online and the service has been fantastic both times. Really caring and understanding staff, excellent and child friendly set up inside and tablets prepped with Netflix to distract little ones whilst they have their haircut. Really fantastic

    Our 9 month old son Rhys had his first haircut with Katy today. She was so patient and lovely with him and really took the time to make sure he was happy and occupied - even roping in another one of the girls who he seemed fascinated by haha! Thanks so much for making his first haircut such a pleasant and easy experience! 100% would recommend. See you again for the next one! Beth, Stephen & Rhys x

    Yesterday it was our first time in littlebigheads. I absolutely loved the idea that there is a shoe shop at the front with some other bids and bobs that you can buy for your little ones and the hairdressers at the back. My boy is usually not very keen on having his hair cut that’s why we used to wait until we go abroad to his favorite hairdressing salon for children where he usually has his hair cut twice a year. But I decided to give it a try and he loved it. We will be definitely back for more hair cuts as it is local and my 3 year old has approved it :) thank you very much for our happy experience yesterday!

    Fantastic experience on getting my little girls first hair cut I had been worried all week leading up to the appointment if my little girl would sit there and have it done and they made it so easy they put on her favourite programme while her hair was being cut and made me feel very welcome excellent customer service thank you so much Katy and Leanne will definitely be coming back again

👍👍 The store is big and beautiful. Everything is very organized. Prices are what you can imagine from Adidas: expensive. The general t-shirts are not bad in price at all from £22-£28. Magnets are £4 as well as keyrings. Very nice quality stuff tbh. Loved it.

😠 Found a £10 note in the store. I had my children with me so explained that when we find something that is not ours we hand it in, in case someone is looking for it. I found a couple of staff and handed the lost £10 note to them. As I walked away with my children I overheard one of the staff telling...
