Haircuts for Kids with Sensory Sensitivities: Creating a Calm & Comfortable Experience
For many children, a haircut is a fun and simple outing. But for kids with sensory processing differences, that same experience can feel overwhelming—filled with unfamiliar sounds, textures, and sensations that can lead to discomfort or even anxiety.
At Pigtails & Crewcuts – Morrisville, we believe every child deserves a haircut experience that feels safe, positive, and empowering. That’s why we go the extra mile to create an environment where kids with sensory sensitivities, autism, or developmental delays can feel comfortable and supported.

💛 What Makes Haircuts Challenging for Sensory-Sensitive Kids?
Children with sensory sensitivities may be especially aware of things like:
The sound of clippers or scissors
The feeling of water or hair on their face or neck
Sitting still in a new environment
The presence of bright lights or unfamiliar smells
These sensations can lead to distress, meltdowns, or a refusal to get a haircut altogether.
🌟 How We Support Sensory-Sensitive Guests
At our salon, we focus on meeting every child where they are. Here’s how we help make the experience more manageable:
✅ Patient & Trained Stylists – Our team is kind, gentle, and trained to work with children who may need a slower pace or extra reassurance.
✅ Flexible & Calm Environment – We welcome parents to bring comfort items, noise-canceling headphones, or anything else that helps their child feel at ease.
✅ Sensory-Friendly Tools – We can adjust tools or skip certain steps (like using clippers) if it helps the child feel more comfortable.
✅ Visual Cues & Choices – Letting the child choose their chair, pick a movie, or even hold a toy during the haircut helps them feel more in control.
✅ No Rush, No Judgment – We take our time. If your child needs to pause or come back another day, that’s okay. We’re here for them.

🧡 It’s Personal
As the owner, I understand this deeply—my own child has faced challenges with sensory processing and language development. That experience has shaped how we run our salon. We strive to create a space where every family feels understood, supported, and welcomed.
✨ Book a Visit That Works for You
We’re proud to be a salon that welcomes all children—especially those who need a little more time and care. If you’d like to discuss your child’s needs in advance, we’re happy to chat and help make the visit as smooth as possible.
