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 $8, you get a kids' haircut at Snip-its (a $16 value), located in CoolSprings in Franklin.

Providing 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 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 locks as fresh as the day they were born. After the follicular wreckage is brushed off, children can play with a bounty of animated gadgets 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 offers 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.

• We love Snip-its! My daughter will not go anywhere else. The stylists are so nice, the shop is a blast and full of fun energy and kids cannot help but have a good time. – Lisa P., Insider Pages
• My kids (both son and daughter) love Snip-its. They never wanted to get their haircut before Snip-its and now they want to go once a week (my son actually said he wanted his hair to grow faster!). – skits11, Citysearch
