Spring is the perfect time to experiment with fresh and vibrant hairstyles for both boys and girls. Here are some spring-inspired hairstyles that are stylish and perfect for the season.
Long hair with layers can add movement and volume, and adding subtle fair hair will give it a sunny, springy feel.
The undercut, with a longer, messy top, is perfect for a relaxed yet edgy look. This haircut is super trendy and great for keeping cool during the warmer months.
If your child has longer hair, consider adding soft braids or twists around the crown or incorporating them into a half-up hairstyle. This style screams spring with its relaxed, boho charm.
A fade haircut on the sides with a textured top gives a clean yet stylish look. It’s versatile and works well for both casual and formal settings.
A lob with either light waves or straight texture is a stylish option that’s not too short and not too long. It’s low-maintenance and perfect for spring activities.
A crew cut with a subtle side part gives a sharp, modern look. It’s ideal for a neat, put-together vibe while still feeling spring-ready.
These spring-inspired hairstyles for both boys and girls are great for embracing the season’s lightness and energy! Click the button below to schedule an appointment for your child’s spring look.

Braids can be beneficial for maintaining healthy hair in several ways, including:
Braiding your hair can help protect it from environmental damage, such as wind or sun exposure. It keeps strands together, reducing the risk of tangling and breakage from friction.
Wearing braids means you’re styling your hair less frequently. Constant combing, brushing, or heat styling can weaken hair over time, so braids help minimize the need for daily styling.
Since braids keep the ends of your hair secured, they can reduce the chances of split ends, especially if you’re using the right type of braid that doesn’t pull too tightly.
Braids can help retain moisture by protecting hair from drying out. When hair is braided, it is less exposed to air, which can help prevent it from becoming dry and brittle.
While braids themselves don’t directly stimulate hair growth, they do create a protective style that prevents breakage and allows hair to grow without as much damage. Some people also find that braiding helps maintain their natural curl pattern or texture, contributing to overall hair health.
Braids can help smooth out the hair shaft, reducing frizz and flyaways. This is especially beneficial for those with curly or wavy hair.
For those with natural or textured hair, braids can offer a low-maintenance protective style that minimizes the need for heat styling or frequent manipulation, both of which can damage delicate hair textures.
Although braids can be a great style for obtaining health hair, be careful with tight braids, as they can cause tension and lead to breakage or even traction alopecia. Always make sure your braids are comfortable and not pulling too tightly! Click the link below to review of our previous blog posts on hair braiding.

Check out our blog post for a special Q&A with Arlene Maldonado, one of our Hair Stylists. Read below to learn more about Arlene and her passion for working with children as a Cosmetologist.
“I wanted to become a Hair Stylist because it allows me to be creative. It also has a direct impact on people by making them feel good about themselves. I also enjoy the social interaction.”
“I received my cosmetology training in New Jersey 2004, so I’ve been practicing as a Hair Stylist for 20 years.”
“I love working with the kids. They’re always funny and spontaneous.”
“I start by introducing myself and ask them if its okay for me to put a cape on them. Little by little I start the service because I want them to be comfortable. I also let them know their parents are there and will not hurt them. I try to explain to them that the clippers will only cut their hair and not their skin. I always try to explain the process to them and keep reassuring them that I will not hurt them and will be as gentle as possible.”
“I love all the products that we use, but my two favorite are Sprouts Leave-In Conditioner and Surf’s Up Grape Texturizing Hair Wax.”
“To enjoy what they’re doing and learn as much as possible. Also to be professional at all times.”
