The Cutting Crew

My little boy had his first proper haircut with Kathy today and it was amazing. She made him feel so comfortable and gave him a brilliant new trim ready for the new year. The room is fantastic and full of things to keep him occupied. Kathy was so attentive and fun with him and I cannot thank her enough for such a positive experience!

Finding someone like Kathy has been such a blessing for us. Barbers who truly understand are so rare, but she has an incredible gift. From the very first visit, she created a calm, welcoming space with no pressure at all. She spoke gently, explained everything step by step, and always gave my son the time and space he needed. What means the most to me is Kathy’s patience and her natural ability to adapt — whether that’s lowering the noise, letting my son explore the clippers, or pausing for a break when things felt overwhelming. She built his trust in such a kind and genuine way, turning something that was once stressful into a positive, even enjoyable experience. The beautiful room she has created upstairs makes it all the more special. Now my son doesn’t just go for a haircut — he goes to see Kathy, to enjoy a chat, and to leave feeling proud of himself. The confidence she has given him is priceless, especially considering how much he used to dread having his hair cut. Kathy doesn’t just cut hair — she creates trust, comfort, and joy. I couldn’t ask for more, and I’m so grateful we found her

We just had our first haircut with Kathy and it was just exactly what we needed. A calm, relaxed space and approach. My son has said “we need to go back there for every haircut day”. He has never been positive about going for haircuts before and it’s such a relief. No doubt we will be back (and back again)!

We absolutely love Kathy! She is amazing and made my son so confident now having his hair cut, hes no longer scared. The excitement he gets now when I tell him we’re off to see Kathy he can’t leave the house quick enough! Highly highly recommend 🩷

We really struggled getting my son who has Autism a hair cut for years, I read about Cutting Crew in an Sheffield Star ad and decided to contact Kathy, before I knew it we were booked in and I was amazed at the wealth of knowledge and experience Kathy had. She has created such a calm sensory environment and Cooper now can’t wait to go back every few weeks for his haircut with Kathy. I highly recommend Cutting crew, especially for anyone of any age dealing with Autism, anxiety or special needs. Absolutely fantastic service 5 ⭐️
