If hair could talk, it would have a mouth, transforming stylish head wraps into cruel mufflers and skinny headbands into orthodontia. Today's Groupon gives hair a voice without the expensive dental upkeep: for $9, you get a regular kids' haircut (an $18.99 value) at Snip-its in Sugar Land or The Woodlands.

Creating a fun and festive environment that dazzles wide-eyed youngsters, Snip-its takes the stress out of maintaining the locks of jittery tykes. A kid-friendly staff maintains manes while ensuring safety—which is of paramount concern—by providing chairs especially designed for miniature adults. During the cut, melted crayons and various knickknacks are snipped away from tussled noodle nests, leaving hairs as fresh as the day they were born. While the follicular wreckage is brushed off, children can play with a bounty of activities and games. With so much to keep young eyes occupied, the atmosphere almost feels like that inside the house that Ruth built—Disneyland.

Ensuring kids have a fuss-free haircut doesn’t have to entail bribing them with chocolates or making soothing ocean sounds into their ears the entire time. Snip-its masterminds a memorable hair-taming experience so kids can’t wait to come back, forcing them to resort to crafting wigs from leftover spaghetti to warrant a quick return trip.

Although Snip-its sometimes offers a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
