5 /5 Ricardo Gomez: Tune Up: The Manly Salon - Exceptional Service for Families with Special Needs
Getting my son’s haircut has always been a challenge due to his Autism. Electric clippers, in particular, are usually a major hurdle. But our experience at Tune Up: The Manly Salon was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to Veronica.
From the moment we arrived, Veronica’s professionalism and experience were evident. She managed to keep my son calm and still—a task that has been nearly impossible at other salons. What truly amazed me was how she used clippers set to #1 without him even flinching! That’s a huge win for us.
What impressed me the most was her approach. Instead of leaving the most difficult part of the haircut for last, she tackled it right away. This thoughtful strategy worked perfectly, as my son tends to get anxious and restless after just a few minutes. By the time his attention started to wane, the hardest part was already done, and she only had the top to finish.
The added touch of offering a free drink is also a great perk. While I don’t drink, it’s nice to grab a refreshment and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere.
We’ll definitely be returning, and I highly recommend Veronica for anyone, especially parents of kids with sensory sensitivities. Her expertise and understanding made all the difference!
