Alex Hair Salon · TorontoKids’ Haircut in Toronto

Kids’ haircut prices

A kids’ haircut for a child under 12 starts at $35.

A bang trim at $15 is a short first step for a nervous child. See every price on the pricing page.

What happens at a kids’ haircut?

I keep the first visit short and simple and I explain what I am doing as I go.

I show your child the scissors and the cape if they are curious. Children can wiggle and that is normal. A calm short visit is better than a perfect cut that ends in tears. You are welcome to stay close so your child can see you.

Why choose Alex Hair Salon in the Annex for kids’ haircuts

The salon is at 851 Bloor Street West in Toronto’s Annex.

Children’s hair is often finer and can have cowlicks so I look at how it falls before I cut. I shape the cut so it is easy to manage at school and at play. A child who sees another person getting a haircut often feels safer. If someone else in your family needs a cut book together.

How to prepare your child

Tell your child what will happen in simple words before the visit.

• Explain the steps: Say that they will sit in a big chair and wear a cape and I will use scissors to trim the hair.
• Keep it positive: Avoid saying it might hurt. Cutting hair does not hurt.
• Choose a good time: Book a time when your child is usually rested and not hungry.
• Bring comfort: A favourite toy or a snack for after can help.

Children copy how adults act. If you stay relaxed your child is more likely to stay relaxed too. Bring a photo or tell me if the hair gets in the eyes or if you want to keep length for a ponytail.

What about older children and teens?

Kids’ pricing applies to children under 12.

For older children I confirm the right service and price when you book. For a teen who wants a new style see the women’s haircut and blowout from $80.
