    Absolutely cannot say enough good things about Meika and her skills! She works so efficiently and quickly so my 3 year old doesn’t have to sit for too long. I love how patient she is and the welcomed distractions of turning on his favorite show, turning the blow dryer on while using the clippers and getting the job done! Highly recommend Meika if your little one needs their hair cut!

    Meika at Shear Candy is truly amazing! She cuts our toddler's thick hair, and despite all the head movements that come with being a toddler, she works her magic every time. Not only does she make him look great, but she's also incredibly fast—we're usually in and out in just 15 minutes. Meika’s skill, patience, and efficiency make haircuts a breeze for both our little one and us. We’re so lucky to have found her! Highly recommend her services to anyone, especially parents with toddlers!

    Incredibly friendly, warm and easy going. Some people get flustered with toddlers especially squirmy ones like my 2.5 year old and Meika is adaptable and works with your toddler. Her space is not over stimulating. He loved the little race car chair. Her price is fair. She already had great reviews so happy we went with her.
