In my experience, JCP is the very best place for autistic kids to get hair cuts. I have taken my kids there for years and I like that they can look into their appointment system and see that my son has special needs, no need to EXPLAIN anything. Plus they know us. Caprice and Michael are excellent. It is never crowded in there and they open early on Sunday if you have a child who doesn’t want to overhear blow dryers. Mine actually enjoys the sensation of sitting under the old fashioned hood dryers (he also likes the sound of fans), and Michael indulges him with that for a few minutes, but when he was much younger a hair cut was absolute torture for him. No idea why it was. You’d think it hurt. Thankfully, he likes having his hair washed and cut now, and they even shave him if I ask.
Chick-fila is in the JCP parking lot so if you want to promise a snack or shake for good behavior, it is right there.
