Twelve and under. Same standard.

A proper haircut for children, from barbers who are not fazed by wriggling, and thirty minutes that does not depend on them sitting still for all of it.

01The appointment
  1. 01

    We talk to them, not over them. What they want counts.

  2. 02

    Cut in stages with breaks if the stages are what it takes.

  3. 03

    Clippers introduced slowly for a first haircut, or not at all if they are not having it.

  4. 04

    Finished quickly once the shape is there. Nobody is held in a chair for the sake of the clock.

Book this if

  • First haircuts — tell us at booking and we set aside more time
  • Children who have had a bad experience elsewhere
  • Booking back-to-back with your own cut

Worth knowing

  • Thirteen and over is a full-price adult cut. It is the same work by then.
  • If they are having a genuinely terrible day we will stop, charge you nothing, and try again another time.
