Your Child Deserves to Feel Safe
Most salons aren't built for your child. Little Roots is — a private suite, one family at a time, with a stylist trained in autism and sensory needs.
“For the first time ever, my son sat through an entire haircut without crying.”
— Amanda R., Mom of Owen (age 5, ASD)
This Time Will Be Different
We know you've tried other places. Here's what changes at Little Roots.
Your child melts down the moment the clippers start. Other clients stare. The stylist rushes to finish. You leave apologizing — and dreading next time.
You have the entire studio to yourselves. Carla moves at your child's pace. If they need a break — no problem. They leave with a haircut and a smile.
Bright lights, loud music, other crying kids, strangers getting too close. Your child is already in meltdown before anyone picks up a pair of scissors.
Dimmable warm lighting, quiet room, no waiting area crowds. We prepare the environment before you arrive based on your child's intake questionnaire.
"Can you please hurry up?" You've heard it before. Stylists who don't know how to handle sensory needs, who visibly lose patience. It's exhausting.
Carla has worked with hundreds of children with autism, SPD, ADHD, and anxiety. She's seen it all and never judges. She celebrates every small win.

“For the first time ever, my son sat through an entire haircut without crying. Carla was so patient and kind. We finally found our place.”

Meet Carla
Licensed Cosmetologist & Founder
After 13+ years behind the chair, I noticed something heartbreaking: families with sensory-sensitive children were being turned away, rushed through, or made to feel like a burden at traditional salons. That's why I created Little Roots Studio.
Serving Southern Nevada
Located in Henderson, we welcome families from across the Las Vegas valley.

“Carla is the only person I trust to cut my son's hair how we like it to look!! She's amazing with him and his requests. He looks forward to getting his haircuts with her and is the one reminding me when he needs an appointment booked and his hair trimmed!”
