No trip to our children’s hair salon is complete without a touch of shimmer! After each style, we offer a spritz of glitter hairspray to top off the look. It’s washable, gentle, and kid-safe—but it makes kids feel like superstars. Parents love it too because it’s all part of making haircut day a fun experience, not a chore. We also offer our secret special glitter hairspray for sale at the salon. So the magic continue at home.

Up-Dos for Every Occasion

Planning something special? We also offer braids, buns, and up-dos for holidays, family photos, school dances, or performances. From princess styles to sporty braids, our talented stylists know how to create picture-perfect looks that last. Several clients book an appointment just for this alone, right before a special event.

Creating Happy Haircut Memories at Pigtails & Crewcuts

A child’s haircut is never just a haircut. At Pigtails & Crewcuts Denver – Northfield, it’s a milestone, a memory, and sometimes even a mini adventure. Whether it’s a first snip or a routine trim, our children’s hair salon is designed to make every experience fun, stress-free, and special.

A First Haircut to Remember

The very first haircut is a moment parents treasure forever. That’s why we offer our First Haircut Package, complete with a keepsake card, a lock of hair, and a photo to remember the big day. Many little ones aren’t sure what to expect when they climb into one of our colorful car-shaped chairs—but with Disney movies playing, snacks like lollipops and animal crackers, and lots of patience from our stylists, even the wiggliest toddlers relax.

Haircuts with Comfort & Care

Not all kids love sitting still, and that’s okay. Our stylists are trained to work with children of all temperaments and needs—including those who may be anxious, have sensory sensitivities, or simply don’t feel like getting a trim that day. With gentle encouragement, plenty of breaks, and a playful atmosphere, we help kids feel safe and supported.

Styles Unique as Each Child

From simple trims to creative cuts, our salon celebrates self-expression. Maybe your child wants a classic bob, a spiky fauxhawk, or playful pigtails with glitter—our stylists bring out their personality with every snip. We love watching kids beam with pride when they see their reflection and say, “That’s me!”

A Fun Reward at the End

Every visit ends on a high note. After their haircut, kids can pick a toy from our Treasure Chest and leave with a big smile (and maybe a lollipop, too!). For parents, it’s the peace of mind knowing their child received a quality haircut in a safe, caring environment.
