Definitely the most fun place to work. I've never had so much fun giving children a reason to smile! Monkey Dooz is the best place for children to learn that they're people too, to give them joy, and to let them know they deserve to have awesome hair! I knew the minute I started there that I had met my sparkling match, and there is nothing like it!

This was one of my favorite places when I was younger! I loved getting all pampered and dolled up. Excellent customer service, and overall an excellent experience!

Mariah S. - Long-time Customer

I took my daughters to Monkey Dooz for haircuts, "updooz," and for their birthday parties. Twenty years later, my girls still speak about the wonderful memories and how it helped inspire them to feel better about themselves!
