Happy Haircuts Hints

1. Always bring an extra shirt to avoid ichy clothing on skin after haircut.

2. Watch haircutting videos with your child before first visit to help prepare them.

3. Avoid using words like cut and scissors which are scary to kids.

4. Introduce experience by using words like fun hair, pretty hair, cool hairstyle. Ex: "Let's go make your hair look cool." 

5. ALLOW CHILD TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THINGS TOUCHING HIS HAIR SUCH AS A COMB OR BRUSH. USE YOUR FINGERS TO SIMULATE CUTTING WITH SCISSORS AND DEMONSTRATE WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

6.BRING YOUR CHILD'S FAVORITE TOY OR BOOK TO USE AS DISTRACTIONS. WE PROVIDE BUBBLES, SMALL TOYS ,KID'S SHOWS, AND GREAT CAR STYLING CHAIRS!

7. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, ALLOW YOURSELF AN EXTRA 5 MINUTES AFTER THE HAIRCUTAND LET YOUR LITTLE ONE PLAY IN OUR PLAYROOM. HAIRCUTS CAN BE HARD FOR SOME CHILDREN, BUT PLAYING AFTER WILL STORE A  POSITIVE MEMORY TO THE EXPERIENCE WHICH PARENTS CAN HELP THEM RECALL PRIOR TO THEIR NEXT VISIT.
