Our approach

No rushing. No tears. Just happy curls.

01

Gentle & patient

We go at your child's pace, take the time to get them comfortable, and keep the whole thing fun. The chair should be a place they enjoy.

02

Cut in their natural curl

We cut dry, in their natural texture, so we can see exactly how their curls fall and shape a cut that actually suits them.

03

Parents learn too

You'll leave knowing exactly how to wash, detangle and style their curls at home, so wash day stops being a battle for the whole house.

For parents

First time? Here's what to know.

  • Come as you are. No need to wash or pre-style, we'll handle everything, gently, in the salon.
  • Stay close. You're welcome to sit right with your child the whole time, whatever helps them feel safe.
  • Bring the family. We've moved into a much bigger space, so siblings and family are very welcome to come along.
  • Nervous little one? Tell us when you book. We'll go slower, keep it playful, and never rush.
  • Leave knowing more. You'll walk out with a simple at-home routine that actually works for their curls.

Parent questions, answered.

What age are the kids services for?

Our Curly Kids Cut is for little ones under 12. If your child is 12 or over, book our standard Curly Dry Cut instead, they'll be in exactly the same expert hands. First proper haircut? Let us know when you book so we can allow plenty of time and go gently.

Do you cut wet or dry?

Dry, in their natural texture. Cutting dry lets us see exactly how their curls fall so we can shape a cut that suits them, and it's less overwhelming for little ones than a wet cut.

My child is nervous. Can you help?

Absolutely, this is what we do. Tell us at booking and we'll take our time, keep it fun and go at their pace. There's never any rushing.

Can I stay with them?

Of course. You're welcome to sit right beside your child for the whole appointment.

Will I learn how to care for their curls?

Yes. Every kids appointment includes hands-on education so you leave knowing how to wash, detangle and style their hair at home.
