Which Haircut Service Should You Book?

The correct service, and the corresponding price, depends on the work involved and your child’s needs.

Standard Boy's and Girl's Haircuts

A standard haircut works for a routine trim or a familiar style. Review our boys’ haircut guide or girls’ haircut guide for style ideas and tips on what to request.  Tell the stylist how much length to remove, how your child wears their hair, and how much styling you want to do at home.

Haircuts With Shampoo

Haircuts with shampoo options need more time for the kid-friendly wash. A boy’s haircut with shampoo is $40.95. A girl’s haircut with shampoo is $38.00 to $45.95.

Specialty Haircuts

Specialty haircuts cover detailed fades, longer layered cuts, precision bobs, and major style changes. Boys’ specialty cuts start at $35.95; girls’ specialty cuts are $34.00 to $35.95. Bring a photo and ask whether you need a specialty appointment.

First Haircut Package

A baby’s or toddler’s first haircut is an important milestone. The First Haircut Package costs $32.95 and includes the haircut, a keepsake certificate, a photo, and a lock of hair to take home.
For families wanting to preserve this milestone, the extra $5 over the standard cut is worth it.

Bang Trim

A bang trim costs $15.95 and covers the front bangs only. Bangs keep hair out of a child’s eyes between full haircuts. The trim does not reshape the whole cut.

What Is Included in the Kid's Salon Experience?

When comparing children’s haircut prices in Buford, GA, consider the complete experience. Haircuts can be difficult for children who are nervous, active, sensitive to sound, or new to salons.

Pigtails & Crewcuts salons are designed for children. Kids can choose a fun styling chair, watch a movie, and meet stylists who regularly work with young guests. They understand that babies may turn, toddlers may wiggle, and older children may want to explain their style. The value is in having the entire experience of haircut, setting, and communication centered on the child.

What Can Change the Total Cost?

Your total could be higher than the $27.95 standard haircut price if you need additional services such as:

  • Include shampoo with the haircut
  • Choose a detailed or specialty style
  • Book the First Haircut Package
  • Request detangling before the haircut
  • Add an updo, styling, blowout, or other service
  • Buy hair-care products to use at home

Thick hair, severe tangles, or a major change may require more work than a basic trim. Tell the salon before your visit so the team can recommend the right service.

How to Get the Best Value for Your Child's Haircut

Use these tips before the appointment:

  1. Check the live booking menu. Prices can change after an article is published.
  2. Choose the correct service. A bang trim will not replace a full haircut, and a major restyle may need a specialty appointment.
  3. Share important details. Mention tangles, sensory sensitivities, clipper concerns, or a big style change.
  4. Bring one or two photos. Show the length, shape, fade, layers, or bangs you want.
  5. Discuss maintenance. Ask how often the style should be trimmed and what it needs at home.
  6. Confirm add-ons first. Ask the price before approving shampoo, detangling, or styling.

Back-to-School Haircuts and Hairstyles for Kids in Buford, GA

by

The first day of school has arrived. Buford City Schools and Gwinnett County Public Schools begin the 2026–2027 school year on Wednesday, August 5th, 2026.

So, families are out shopping for supplies, organizing backpacks, planning lunches, and trying to return to a regular morning schedule. For children, a fresh back-to-school haircut can help them feel prepared for the big day.

Pigtails & Crewcuts: Haircuts for Kids in Buford–Mall of Georgia helps children begin the school year looking neat, feeling comfortable, and ready to smile for first-day photos.

Why Get a Back-to-School Haircut?

A haircut is more than just removing length. It’s about confidence, comfort, and helping a child feel ready for a new beginning.

Children experience many emotions when a new school year begins. They may be excited to see their friends but nervous about meeting a new teacher or entering a new grade. While a haircut is a small thing, looking neat and feeling comfortable can give a child an extra boost of confidence.

A new haircut can also make mornings easier. A proper haircut is faster to brush, style, and manage before leaving home. Removing dry ends, shaping bangs, and trimming hair around the ears helps reduce the time spent fixing hair during the morning rush.

When to Schedule Your Child’s Haircut

Because the days immediately prior to school opening can be busy with Back-to-School Haircuts and Hairstyles for Kids in Buford, GA, parents should schedule back-to-school haircuts several days before classes begin.

Booking an appointment three to seven days before school starts gives the child and their haircut time to settle down while still looking fresh on the first day. Parents also have time to practice styling the new haircut at home.

For families who couldn’t schedule an appointment before August 5th, it’s not too late. A haircut during the first week of school can still help a child begin the new year with a clean, comfortable style.

Popular Back-to-School Haircuts for Boys

The best boys’ haircut is one that fits the child’s hair type, personality, school routine, and interest in daily styling. Below are a few popular choices from our boys haircuts guide.

Classic Tapered Haircut

A classic tapered cut is shorter on the sides and back with more length on top. It looks neat and can be worn naturally or styled with a small amount of hair product.

Clipper Cut

A clipper cut is a practical choice for active children. The sides and back are cut short, while the top may be blended with scissors. This low-maintenance kids’ haircut doesn’t require much styling.

Fade Haircut

A fade moves gradually from shorter hair near the neckline to longer hair above. Parents can request a low, medium, or higher fade depending on how short they want the style.

Textured or Longer Cut

Children who prefer longer hair can keep the length while receiving a trim around the eyes, ears, and neckline. Adding texture or layers can help thick hair feel lighter and make longer styles easier to manage.

Popular Back-to-School Haircuts for Girls

Girls’ back-to-school haircuts can be short, long, layered, curly, straight, or anything in between. The goal is to choose a style that suits the child and that the family can manage at home. Some popular styles highlighted in our girls haircuts guide are:

Bob Haircut

A chin-length or shoulder-length bob offers a clean shape and works with many hair types. Note that a longer bob can still be long enough for a ponytail.

Long Layers

Layers remove extra weight and add movement without taking away too much length. They can help define curls and make thick hair easier to brush.

Bangs or Face-Framing Pieces

Bangs can create a fresh look, but they require regular trims. Try side-swept bangs or longer face-framing to keep the hair away from the eyes as it grows out.

Trim for Long Hair

Most children do not need to make a major change before school. A simple trim can remove dry ends, improve the shape, and make long hair easier to detangle.

Pigtails & Crewcuts offers a Style Book for both boys and girls, showing examples that families can review before an appointment. Bring a photograph to show the stylist the type of haircut you desire.

Easy Hairstyles for Busy School Mornings

A school hairstyle should be comfortable, secure, and simple enough to get ready before the bus arrives.

Easy options for girls include:

  • A ponytail with a headband
  • Two braids or pigtail braids
  • A half-up ponytail
  • A low bun
  • Braided buns
  • A side braid
  • Natural curls with a clip or headband
  • A short, textured style brushed to the side

Parents can save time by gathering brushes, combs, hair ties, clips, and styling products in one container. Choosing clothes and preparing backpacks the night before can also leave more time for hair in the morning.

Avoid pulling ponytails or braids too tightly. A secure style should not cause pain or place too much pressure on the child’s hairline.

Why Regular Haircuts Matter During the School Year

A back-to-school haircut is a great start, but hair continues to grow throughout the year.
Regular trims help maintain the haircut’s shape, keep bangs away from the eyes, remove damaged ends, and make daily grooming easier. Children with short hair may need appointments more often than those with longer styles.

Routine appointments help children build trust with their stylist and make personal care a normal part of life. A stylist who sees a child regularly learns how their hair grows, which styles work well, and how to help the child feel relaxed.

Pigtails & Crewcuts promotes its Back 2 School Hair Crew at participating salons. A qualifying back-to-school appointment unlocks local discounts during the school year, although benefits and terms can vary by location. Families should check with the Buford salon for details.

Preparing Your Child for a Salon Visit

Parents should help their child know what to expect during a salon visit. They can talk about the haircut and explain that the stylist may use a comb, scissors, clippers, or a spray bottle.

They should allow their child to help choose the haircut when possible. Giving children a voice in the decision can comfort them and get them excited about the result.

Be sure to tell the stylist about sensory sensitivities, past haircut experiences, or anything that may help the visit go more smoothly. Bringing a favorite comfort item can help younger children.

At the Buford–Mall of Georgia salon, children sit in vehicle-themed styling chairs and watch a movie or play a game during their haircut. The child-focused setting makes haircuts more enjoyable and memorable for families.

Back-to-School Haircut FAQs

When do Buford and Gwinnett County Public school classes start?

Schools in the city of Buford and in Gwinnett County begin classes on Wednesday, August 5th, 2026. Families should confirm dates and school-specific information with their district.

Scheduling three to seven days before school is ideal. However, appointments during the first week of school are still fine.

Clipper cuts and classic tapers for boys, and bobs, long bobs, and shaped layered cuts for girls are all easy to maintain. The best choice depends on the child’s hair texture and preferred length.

Short styles need attention every four to eight weeks. Longer styles may go eight to twelve weeks between trims. Growth rate, bangs, curls, and the desired style can change the schedule.

Bring one or two clear photographs showing your preferred style. Parents may also bring a favorite toy or comfort item and should share information about sensory needs with the stylist in advance.

Yes, but with the goal of keeping hair out of your child’s eyes. A stylist can remove dry ends, add layers, shape the hair, and trim around the face to make hair manageable during school.
