PA Hairstylist Opens Sensory-Friendly Salon for Kids with Special Needs!

This is so wonderful!  My cousin is autistic and I know my aunt would love have this option.

 Here are the details:

Hairapy by Laura opened its doors in 2021 at 808 Bethlehem Pike in Erdenheim, Pennsylvania. The family salon is open to all ages, but Laura considers individuals with special needs to be her specialty.

Laura, a 20-year industry veteran, tried everything to make him comfortable during a haircut. Sometimes, the only option was waiting until the child fell asleep.

“They tend to not enjoy haircuts because the sound is right next to their ears,” said Laura. “Just having another blow dryer going, the phones ringing, it’s magnified by thousands of times.”

Hairapy by Laura can be reached by phone at (215) 377-9365.
