Your child’s first haircut is a milestone we cherish just as much as you do. That’s why KidSnips is known for turning this moment into something extra special! With personalized certificates, a lock of their baby hair, and a fun, celebratory atmosphere, we make sure this memory is as heartwarming as you’ve imagined.

We know first haircuts can come with a mix of nerves and excitement (and maybe some wiggles too)! Take a peek at our tips to keep everything smooth and happy.

Step 1

Prepare for the Big Day

  • Talk It Up: Excite your child about their first haircut by turning it into an adventure. Let them know they’re going to get a “super cool new look” and remind them that they’ll a special keepsake.
  • Pick the Perfect Time: Schedule the appointment between mealtime and naptime to ensure your child is well-fed and well-rested. A happy, full tummy and a well-rested kiddo make for a smoother experience!
  • Bring Comfort Items: Pack a favorite toy or blanket to help your child feel at ease. Having something familiar can make the new experience less intimidating.

Step 2

During the Haircut

  • Make It Fun: Our stylists are experts at making first haircuts enjoyable. They might use bubbles, play silly games, or let your child snuggle on your lap if it helps them feel more secure.
  • Distraction is Key: Your child can watch their favorite shows on an iPad or choose from a selection of engaging distractions to keep their mind off the haircut.
  • Take It Slow: Our stylists understand that this is a big moment and will proceed at a pace that’s comfortable for your child. If they need breaks or a moment to adjust, that’s perfectly fine!

Buzz-Worthy Praise from Parents

“I can’t stress this enough – if you’re taking your child anywhere than here it’s a mistake. I just left my son’s first haircut and first of all, it’s also a little toy store so if you have to wait a little there’s toys EVERYWHERE. The lady at the desk was absolutely amazing and just as involved as the people cutting the hair. The stylist was so patient yet got it done quickly. I cried and they had tissues ready ! 😂 the price is absolutely phenomenal and the staff beats that. 10/10”

“What a great experience for my son’s first haircut! The stylist had a calming yet playful approach with my 18-month-old. She was very patient yet efficient. She took pauses at just the right times. They had iPads, bubbles, and other items for distraction. At the end, my son received his first haircut certificate with locks of his hair and a picture with his new haircut. I would definitely recommend this place for young children. We were very pleased.”

“As a first-time mom, I was admittedly very nervous taking my very active 13-month-old son for his first haircut, but I knew I had to bite the bullet someday as his mop head is getting too rowdy. I was pleasantly surprised at how well he did. The stylist was talking to him the whole time and had several tricks up her sleeve. He got a certificate with his lock of hair and a photo. In the end, I walked out with my now little man.”
