Frequently Asked Questions
There's no specific age requirement for a first haircut. Some babies need a trim as early as 6-8 months, while others don't need one until they're toddlers. We recommend bringing your child in whenever you feel their hair needs attention. Our stylists are experienced with children of all ages and will work with your child's developmental stage and comfort level.
Talk positively about the haircut experience beforehand, using words like "fun" and "special." Consider scheduling the appointment when your child is well-rested and fed. Bring a favorite toy or tablet for distraction if needed. For very young children, it helps to visit the salon beforehand so they can see the space and meet the stylist.
Our stylists are trained to work with wiggly, nervous, or upset children. We can work quickly and efficiently, take breaks if needed, or allow parents to hold younger children during the cut. We never force a haircut and will always prioritize your child's comfort. If we need to stop and reschedule, that's perfectly okay.
