Golden Blades Barber Shop — Local services in Cicero

I cannot recommend Golden Blades enough, especially for parents of children on the autism spectrum. My son and I had a truly wonderful experience with Antonio, the owner, who was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. From the moment we walked in, he took the time to make my son feel comfortable, working around his needs and moving at his pace.

Haircuts can sometimes be overwhelming for children with sensory sensitivities, but Antonio made the process so much easier. He explained everything as he went, gave my son time to adjust, and never rushed him. It was such a relief to see my son feel safe and at ease during the experience.

If you’re a parent looking for an autism-friendly barber, I highly encourage you to visit Golden Blades in Cicero and ask for Antonio. He truly goes above and beyond to create a welcoming and accommodating environment. We will...

They even changed the movie to something kid friendly just for my son. The clippers he used were almost completely silent so they weren't overstimulating. Great place. ...

Saw a post about this barbershop on an autism page on fb and decided to try them out. My son is usually real tense during his haircuts and fidgets and holds his ears but he slowly relaxed with the vibe of the shop. The artwork (which is super dope)on the walls was a great distraction for my son. Pedro who did my sons haircut, he was very patient and friendly talked me through my sons haircut and how he would continue with his haircuts going forward which I really appreciated. Thank you again and we’ll be back for his...
