I called Rapunzel's an hour and a half before closing, looking for a quick last min appt for my 5 yr old daughter who gave herself a swift haircut to the entire right side of her head, as many young children do lol. I expressed that my child has moderate autism and has never had a haircut before, besides her bangs trimmed by me every couple months. Mary immediately squeezed us in between another client who was due to show up 20 mins later. She was very sweet and gentle with my daughter, even getting down on her knees for the perfect angles, as to not move my baby girl around too much and startle her. AMAZING! She didn't mind one bit, explaining how they often need to finagle awkward positions to cut elderly clients hair in nursing homes as well! Even more impressed then, she continued to talk my child thru her haircut, not minding at all that my nonverbal daughter, who is brand new to talking, was mimicking every word from her mouth. She had a friendly smile on the entire time and made sure to leave as much length as she could, salvaging a lot more hair than I had anticipated she would be able to do. There was another stylist there as well, who was very friendly and helped give the place a warm inviting feeling to the atmosphere. She offered to clip together a sweet piece of my daughter's hair, as a keepsake of her very first haircut, and gave us her locks with a genuine smile. I will absolutely use Rapunzel's hair salon again, I am definitely extremely pleased with the end result, my princess looks as wonderful as can be! Thank you, Mary!!Service: Haircut
