Autism friendly businesses, part 1

Every so often, I will post about businesses that either cater to people with autism or are flexible in handling autistic clientele.  One such business is Magic Cuts Service Salon, located at 15912 West State Road 84 in Weston, Florida.  Below is their business card, front and back.

We found out about this place after telling people what a hard time we had cutting Jason's hair.  Because of his sensitivity to loud noise, getting a haircut at a regular Hair Cuttery or Supercuts wasn't feasible.  The buzzing of the clippers drove him crazy.  So we started to cut it ourselves in our backyard.  I am still amazed to this day that the cops were never called to my house on haircut days.  Jason would sound like he was being tortured (which, to him, that's what we were doing).  It would always take hours.  Someone finally told us to go to Magic Cuts, that they handled autistic clients.  I was skeptical, but I had nothing to lose.  When we got there, the place seemed like heaven.  One side was designed to handle adults, while the other had TVs with VCRs and Nintendo 64s for the kids to entertain themselves while getting a haircut.  When we explained Jason's problem, they were very understanding and showed me exactly how they were going to cut Jason's hair without any issues.  They use a special clipper that is SILENT!!!!  It was on and I couldn't tell until I placed my hand on it and felt it vibrating.  Jason LOVED it!!  We have been going there ever since, and Jason now actually ASKS to be taken to get his hair cut if it gets even just a little too long.  Here are some picture I took the last time we were there.

More businesses to come!!!
