This Valley salon will have your kiddo livin' large while getting a rockin' haircut in airplanes, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Mercedes. Mani/Pedis are also available. Fittingly, "School of Rock" star Jack Black was recently seen bringing his son in for a haircut.

Hint: If you're on a tight budget and your kid isn't squirmy, try your local old school barber shop. The results can vary but for simple trims, they're usually adequate and you can't beat the price. Don't do-it-yourself. Although it may seem like a good idea at the time, those crooked bangs your kid will have to the live with the next four weeks should remind you that it isn't.
