For many families with neurodivergent children, the traditional salon experience can feel overwhelming. Bright lights, loud noises, and bustling activity often make haircuts a daunting task. That’s where Clipt comes in—a compassionate solution designed specifically for kids and adults with autism and sensory sensitivities. 

Founded by Amy Johns, a mom and former teacher, Clipt connects families with licensed, sensory-friendly hairstylists who bring the salon experience right to your home. These stylists are experts in creating a calm, judgment-free environment, meeting each child where they are.

Booking with Clipt is simple. Download the Clipt app on iOS or Android to search and schedule an appointment with a caring stylist. They will come to you, then you can rip and rate on the app. Experience a haircut tailored to your child's unique needs, whether that's taking extra time, breaking the session into steps, or accommodating sensory sensitivities.

Parents often share how Clipt has transformed their child’s experience, turning haircuts from a dreaded chore into a manageable—and sometimes even fun—event. The in-home setting allows kids to stay in their comfort zone while building trust with a stylist who truly understands.
