Sharkey's Cuts For Kids - Bristow
2026-08-15T18:10:39.737Z
We take my son, who has ASD and sensory issues, to see Lupita for his haircuts. We’ve been about 4 times now, and I truly can’t say enough good things about her.From the very first visit, Lupita has been incredibly patient with him. She has never once made us feel like she was annoyed or frustrated, even when his haircuts were extremely difficult. She gives him breaks between cuts when he needs them and has always gone above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. She even rewarded him once with one of her own personal Pixar pins, which meant so much to us. He still has it to this day!Haircuts used to be something I absolutely dreaded. Because of his sensory issues, my son would scream, fight, and become extremely distressed. I would have to sit him on my lap and hold him as tightly as I could just so he could stay still. At one point, we even shaved his hair completely bald just so we wouldn’t have to put him through another haircut for a while.But every single time we’ve gone to Lupita, it has gotten a little easier.Yesterday was a HUGE moment for us. To my surprise, my son actually wanted to sit in the fire truck all by himself!!! He didn’t cry, he sat still, and only reached for my hand a couple of times. Even Lupita was surprised!! We both could not believe it!!For some families, it may seem like just a haircut, but for us, this was a really big accomplishment!We will absolutely continue bringing our son to Lupita. We are SO thankful for her kindness, patience, and the way she has worked with him at his own pace. She has truly made something that used to be incredibly stressful so much easier for our family!
