A child’s first haircut: how to prepare

For a child, the barbershop is a new place: noises, a high chair, a cape, a person they do not know. With a few small steps, the first haircut becomes a nice memory.

Before you come

• Choose a time when your child is rested, not close to nap time.
• Tell them what will happen in simple words: “we will tidy your hair just like daddy’s”.
• When you book, write in the notes that it is the first haircut.

At the barbershop

A parent can always stay close. We take it slowly and make pauses when needed: no rush, no pressure.

A little toy or a cartoon on the phone helps a lot to keep still for a few minutes.

After the haircut

Many parents keep a lock of hair from the first haircut. If you would like that, tell us before we start.
