Ask anyone who has worked as a stylist before and they will likely tell you that cutting children’s hair comes with its own set of challenges. Children by nature generally find it difficult to sit still, particularly when someone is trying to get them to sit still. Depending on their age, they might not follow instructions or even know what the instructions mean. However, one of the necessary evils of being a parent involves taking your kids in for haircuts. With that said, keep reading for some of the most important qualities to look in a Santa Monica hair salon when your kids' shaggy do's need trimming. Has Specific Experience with Children’s Haircuts Find a hair salon with many years of experience in the business and art of doing hair, but more specifically, find a salon that has stylists who have experience with cutting and styling children’s hair. When a stylist is working with an adult’s tresses, it is just a matter of instructing them how to position their head in order to achieve the best results. But when working with children, again, simply giving instructions will be more difficult, if not totally ineffective. Find a salon and a stylist that has several years of expertise cutting and styling tiny heads of hair. Maintains a Kid-Friendly Environment Next, look for a salon that has a kid-friendly environment. Most salons have styling products and bottles of hair products right in the reach of little hands. A salon is a place abounding with scissors, razors, and hazardous chemicals, so make sure that your kids can be safe there. That is not to say that you should let your kids run around willy-nilly, but things happen and if your child manages to break free, they should at least be in a safe environment. A salon that specializes in cutting kids’ hair will likely have an area where kids can be kids and play, read their own age appropriate books or magazines, and basically feel comfortable there. Knows How to Motivate Children Most kids do not really love getting their haircut. They have to sit still and be careful while the stylist is cutting and styling their hair. Rewards can be a great motivation to get kids to get through the hair cutting experience without major tantrums and breakdowns. Look for hair salons that offer rewards or other motivators to encourage good behavior during the haircut. Some salons will offer balloons, treats, or even reward certificates for kids who successfully complete their first haircut and for subsequent visits to the hair salon. Can Help Out the Whole Family Whether you visit the hair salon every six weeks or every six months, you might want to just go as a whole family. By finding a salon with well-rounded expertise, meaning they serve all people from toddlerhood through adulthood, you may be able to save money and can certainly save time by just going to the same place to get the perfect coif for everyone in the family. So while it is important to make sure that you go to a salon and see a stylist who is proficient with kids’ hair, it may also interest you to get all the family’s haircuts in one shot. While you and/or your child may be dreading going to get a haircut, it is possible for it to be a good experience for everyone involved. It is very important that you know what to look for in a quality Santa Monica hair salon. Not only should they be proficient in doing hair for the whole family, but they should also know how to make the experience more comfortable for your kids and of course have a wealth of experience in cutting children’s hair specifically.
