Your child’s first haircut is a major milestone, and at Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead, we’re committed to making it a fun and memorable experience. Whether it’s easing any nerves or celebrating the special moment, our team ensures that your child’s first haircut is a positive event that paves the way for many more happy visits to our salon.
Talk About It in Advance
Starting the conversation ahead of time can help your child understand what’s going to happen and get comfortable with the idea. Keep it simple and positive—mention how fun and exciting it will be to sit in a special chair and get a haircut just like mom or dad. You can even tell them about the cool things they’ll get to experience, like watching their favorite movies or playing with fun toys while they wait. This helps build excitement instead of fear.
Pick the Right Time & Set Expectations
Timing is key to ensuring a smooth experience. Schedule your child’s first haircut when they’re well-rested and in a good mood, avoiding times when they might be tired, hungry, or stressed. Once the appointment is set, talk to your child about what will happen. Explain that they’ll sit in a special chair, the stylist will carefully trim their hair, and they’ll be done before they know it. Let them know there will be fun distractions like cartoons or music to keep them entertained. The more they understand what to expect, the more comfortable they’ll feel.
Explain What Will Happen and Stay Positive
Explain to your child that they’ll sit in a fun chair, the stylist will carefully cut their hair, and there will be entertaining distractions like cartoons to keep them relaxed. As you go through the process, stay calm and positive—your child will sense your mood. By maintaining a cheerful and confident attitude, you’ll help them feel more comfortable and turn the experience into a fun and enjoyable moment.
Offer a Special Treat
To make the experience even more exciting, we offer a few treats for your little one! After their haircut, they can choose a toy from our toy chest, which is always stocked with fun surprises. We also have an extensive retail section filled with a variety of toys to make your child’s visit even more special. Plus, we love to give our little guests a Dum-Dum lollipop during or after their cut as a sweet reward for being so brave. It’s all part of making your child’s first haircut a memorable experience!
