Kids haircuts made easy with Pixie Curtis

Hair cuts are a part of modern life.

But try explaining that to little kids who are horrified by the very idea.

To be fair, you can’t really blame them. The reality of a visit to the salon is complete strangers getting up close and personal and with sharp scissors too. Not surprisingly, a huge number of children aren’t too keen to be involved.

The good news is there are simple steps you can take to ease any anxiety and ensure your little one gets a rocking cut too.

First of all, find a salon that is often frequented by little folk. This can be a kids’ only salon or, a regular salon with stylists who are confident with kids. One such salon would be TONI&GUY Bondi Beach.

At our salons we employ kid-friendly stylists who will know how to chat with children and keep them relaxed and will understand if they get a little antsy.

Hairdresser Kelly Wright, owner of TONI&GUY Bondi Beach, loves having kids visit – and she knows exactly how to handle them.

“We ensure kids will be comfortable, relaxed and spoilt too,” says Kelly.

“We have hot chocolate and Tiny Teddy biscuits as a standard and can put their favourite cartoons on the iPad. Being a mother of two, I am used to having little ones as visitors.”

The beauty here is that when kids are relaxed parents will be too. This means they can explain the cut they want for their child and, because he or she will be sitting comfortably (and staying still), actually get it.

A good kids’ stylist will also be able to recommend styles and looks to suit your baby’s particular look. Yes – even kids’ look best with a style that flatters their hair type, face shape and also, complexion.

On that, Kelly says on-trend kids’ cuts are slightly different in 2018.

“Boys have gone shorter this year,” explains Kelly.

“There’s a trend of shorter/clippered back and sides. Girls are enjoying long bobs with fringes and braiding is always a favourite. Of course, we also take into consideration school requirements when consulting.”
