Build a Career Creating Styles and Smiles
Are you a stylist looking for a change, or a new stylist who wants a challenge? We welcome you to join our team as a kids’ hairstylist in Buford, GA, near the Mall of Georgia. Your next salon role can be more than another chair and another appointment book. At Pigtails & Crewcuts: Haircuts for Kids – Buford – Mall of GA, our hairstylists help children feel comfortable, look their best, and build confidence. They know a haircut can be a big event for a young child.
The salon, at 3200 Woodward Crossing Boulevard, Suite A-101, serves families from Buford and nearby Gwinnett County communities. The space was built around children, with vehicle-themed styling chairs, a cheerful setting, movies, and toys. Every detail turns a routine haircut into one kids enjoy.
Owner Isela Velasco understands the salon from the inside. She worked as the salon manager before becoming the owner in 2024. Isela’s values and her business savvy support families and help stylists grow through hands-on salon experience.
Why Work at a Children’s Hair Salon?
A children’s hair salon gives licensed professionals a chance to use both their technical skills and their people skills, because every child is different. Some kids are excited about the themed chairs. Another may need extra time, a calm voice, or a short break. The stylist’s job is to meet the child where they are, while listening to the parent or caregiver.
Pigtails & Crewcuts salons are fun, creative workplaces with competitive compensation, a relaxed dress code, and family-friendly hours. Applicants should speak with the Buford salon about current openings, schedules, compensation, and benefits.
Use Your Haircutting Skills in a Focused Setting
Children’s hairstyling includes more than quick trims. Our stylists work on first haircuts, bangs, bobs, fades, clipper and scissor cuts, layers, curly hair, braids, and special styles. The work rewards clean technique, attention to detail, and the ability to adjust while a child moves or changes position.
Because the salon focuses on kids and families, stylists can build skills in providing consistent haircuts and positive salon experiences, which can lead to repeat visits as the child grows.
Learn How to Make Haircuts Easier for Kids
A professional kids stylist knows that comfort comes before speed. Simple is best: explain the next step, let the child see a tool before using it, speak at the child’s level, and notice signs of distress. A playful conversation or a favorite movie can be helpful.
Some children may have anxiety or sensory needs. Patience, flexibility, and teamwork are important. Experience with children is helpful, but the right candidate can receive training and support. Applicants should ask the Buford team about onboarding and skill development.
Enjoy a Creative, Family-Centered Workplace
Kids bring energy and humor to the salon. Our stylists celebrate small wins, like a toddler’s first haircut or an older child choosing a new style. Family-friendly hours appeal to professionals who need a more flexible schedule. Each salon sets shifts and employment terms.
What Makes the Buford - Mall of Georgia Salon Different?
Location matters when you are choosing where to work. The Buford salon is next to the Mall of Georgia, with access from Woodward Crossing Boulevard. For a stylist living in Buford or the surrounding area, our salon offers a less stressful commute and a stronger connection with local families.
The salon is kid-centered, not adapted from an adult salon. Styling stations have chairs for parents, entertainment, toys, and kid-sized experiences. The salon also offers services and packages such as first haircuts, braids, ear piercing, and hair-care products. Team members have leeway to help families as needed. Ask what additional training or qualifications may apply to each open position.
What Skills Help a Kids Hairstylist Succeed?
Technical ability matters, but the best stylists make connections with the kids. A successful children’s stylist delivers patience, warmth, clear communication, careful listening, reliability, and a sense of fun. They know how to calm a child who wiggles, giggles, cries, or feels afraid.
Parents want the stylist to understand their child’s needs. Children want to feel safe and respected. The stylist brings those needs together by confirming the desired haircut, explaining what is realistic for the child’s hair, and keeping the family informed throughout the service.
Candidates should hold the professional credentials required for the position and be ready to demonstrate their haircutting skills. The local management team can explain the exact license, experience, and availability needed for a current opening.
What Can You Expect from the Workday?
A typical day may include greeting families, confirming haircut goals, preparing the station, performing children’s cuts and styles, and helping keep the salon welcoming. Weekends and after-school periods can be busy. Teamwork matters when the waiting area is lively or a young guest needs extra attention.
Is Kids Hairstylist the Right Career for You?
This specialty may be a good match if you enjoy working with children, want to build repeat relationships with families, and like a bright, active workplace. You may be ready to move away from a full range of adult chemical services to build expertise in kids’ cuts and styling.
If you can be present, encouraging, and willing to adjust your approach, we would love to speak with you. A calm stylist can be just as effective as an outgoing one if they listen well and treat each child as an individual.
