Try these raved 10 places to get toddler haircuts

Your child might be one of those born with little or lots of hair. Regardless, they will be needing their first haircut. Babies with long hair constantly struggle with hair getting into things and places like eyes and mouth. Trimming and cutting them off is probably best, and sometimes you might want to get it done from home or a familiar place where the child feels most comfortable since this is probably their first haircut. If you are planning to get your toddler’s hair trimmed from home, you should probably get tips and guidance from professional kid hairstylist. As a first-time mom, I have no clue regarding what needs to be done. But if you prefer to skip the fussiness of having to calm and convince your toddler to sit patiently through the process, then heading to a kiddie saloon is probably best for you. 

Before your baby is ready for his or her first haircut appointment, you must have had a lot of time to do your research and find out about the kiddie saloons in your area and all the services they offer. In New York, where I reside, we have quite a handful of good toddler saloons which I will introduce later. Just make sure the saloon meets all of yours and baby’s requirements.

Start having haircuts conversation a few days before your appointment to allow your baby to prepare his mind and be ready for what’s about to come when it’s time to visit a hair salon. They might have questions, and that will give you an opportunity to be able to calm them. Be sure to choose your words carefully and not use confusing or big vocabularies. 

Talking to your toddler about how much he or she is going to have fun in the hair salon is a great way to get them excited and interested in visiting hair salons. Let them know you're looking forward to their trim or new style. 

Best haircut experiences happen when children are rested and well fed. If children are cranky, anxious or tired,  the haircut should wait. Often, mornings are the best for haircuts as children are rested and ready for fun. 

You might decide to bring your kids favorite treat or be prepared to buy some snacks for your baby to snack on if necessary. Luckily most salons sell or offer kiddies treats.

Secondly, instead of cutting hair at home, if you decide to take your child to a professional kid hairstylist (which is always best), make sure you have gotten enough time to make your research and find out about the available kid salon in your area. You don’t want to travel for miles before your child can get his or her haircuts. Always asks the hairstylist questions and what your concerns are if you need to.

You should always use a kid salon time as a special way for you and your baby to bond. Most kid salons don’t always end with just a haircut, most of the facilities are design specifically to entertain and engage kids. You can use that time to get your toddler some educational gears like bedtime story books and interactive materials. Kids learn to socialize with other baby’s their ages more easily in a fun-filled space. Thirdly is to always ask about their hygiene standards, if you are taking your baby’s clipper (which is always best) for his haircuts, always ask them to sterilize or clean it well after every use. Overall, just relax and breathe easy, if you are in a professional salon, the hairstylists are extremely experience and trained in regards to handling kids. Have fun and enjoy every haircutting experience.
