Salon Trips with the Little Ones
How do you know when it’s time to bring your little one to the salon for their first professional salon service? We service all ages of children and perform a variety of services for them, so we’ve developed some helpful tips to consider when thinking about booking a salon appointment for your young child:
There is no best age to start - it depends on your child’s unique hair needs. It also depends on their level of comfort in a salon environment, with new faces, and sitting still for periods of time. We tend to think that the younger they become comfortable with caring for the health of their hair, the better!
The salon is a place where we often have loud noises, lots of energy, and lots of new experiences that can be intimidating for children. For first timers, consider coming in for a consultation in the days before your scheduled appointment so we can allow your child to meet our team and feel comfortable coming to see us. We’d love to show you around!
Consider nap times and meal times when booking. Make sure your appointment time is scheduled so that your child will be prepared to sit in the salon chair for periods of time. We’re happy to provide WiFi codes for your tablets, just don’t forget to pack headphones.
Gently detangle your child’s hair before their service begins. This helps your stylist provide a more calm, comfortable start to the appointment and gain the trust of your little one.
