A child’s haircut usually goes better when the appointment has a simple plan: the correct age-based booking, one useful reference and a realistic everyday style.

Choose by age

Kids Cut (12 & under) is $20 for 20 minutes. Kids Cuts (13–17) is $25 for 25 minutes. Select the age-appropriate appointment so the booking matches the published service.

Use one clear reference

Pick a photo with hair texture and density reasonably close to the child’s. Explain what matters most: keeping length, cleaning edges, reducing bulk or creating a softer transition.

Explain the appointment simply

A calm, direct explanation can make the chair feel more familiar. Avoid adding pressure around sitting perfectly still; clear preparation is usually more useful than a long list of rules.

Think about everyday upkeep

A school haircut should work on an ordinary morning. If low maintenance matters, say so before the cut begins and ask how the top should be brushed or arranged.

An age-appropriate booking plus one useful reference keeps the appointment focused.
