Children are most welcome in the salon, just like all our curlies.
I have children, so it’s essential to inform you of what is required. If we are prepared as parents, we are not in an awkward, uncomfortable situation. I’ve been there. I get it.
Curly Cuts pricing structure
Our pricing structure is unisex, so the same price is for all ages. Please keep the following in mind, especially if you don’t think they could last long enough in the chair.
Curly cutting is very different to a traditional quick cut. It’s not a quick 10 or 20 minute kids’ haircut like your child may be used to.
An individual curl cut will take the same as any other head of curls, adult or child. Usually, a curly cut requires 45 minutes to 1 hour in the chair.
- Children must be able to sit in the salon chair independently (not on a parent’s lap).
- Due to a previous arm injury and ergonomic reasons, I’m unable to cut hair while a child is sitting on a parent’s lap.
Which appointment should I book?
We recommend that most children book in a dry curly cut only. This takes approximately 1 hour.
Why is our cutting different
We cut children’s curls just as we do adults. It’s all freehand without combs and using our hands as tools on dry hair. Because we do a lot of freehand cutting, we need the head of hair to be kept still for the safety of our stylists and your child. This is different from using a comb and having the control of pulling away if a kid moves. This may be difficult for toddlers or very young children.
Important information about safety
If a child moves too much, we would not be able to complete such a complex freehand cut and may
refuse. It’s too dangerous for both of us.
Hair must be completely knot-free, or we will refuse the appointment. We can’t cut curly hair with
individual curl techniques when there are knots in it.
I recommend that all parents assess the above before booking in. If you have a question, please email us at [email protected]
