Kids are a blessing in our lives. They lighten up our lives and spread joy around all the time. Kids of this era are conscious of their looks and they want to keep up with the current trends. The new parents can totally relate to this. The first thing that the kids want is a haircut. As much as they want they also dread that session. They have their own apprehensions as kids which we can totally understand.
Not only kids, but we do also know that parents have concerns regarding safety and hygiene. “Is the salon hygienic?”, “are they trained for this?”, “what if my baby gets hurt?”, “is it the right time to get it done?”, these questions might be bothering the new parents.
We will make it easier for you and answer a few of your questions so that your mind is at ease.
WHEN SHOULD I GET A HAIRCUT DONE FOR MY KID?
This depends on your baby’s hair growth pace and how long is it. Usually, the pace is fast for babies and you might have to get it done at an early stage. For some, you can wait until they turn into toddlers.
Some parents want their babies’ hair to grow long and decide to wait for a few years until the haircut and some get it done as soon as it grows a bit long. Either way, sooner or later, they have to get it done and a bit of mental preparation is needed for that.
HOW DO I PREPARE MY KID FOR THIS?
Never keep it a surprise for your kid because they surely wouldn’t like it and all of you will have a tough time at the salon, you, the kid, and the person who’s giving the haircut. So what should you do?
Keep mentioning a haircut a few weeks prior to when you are planning to go. It helps them get ready for the day. You must also tell them why it is being done and how it will be done. For example, you can tell them that it is only done to make the hair shorter and it will make you feel better in the summer seasons.
You can walk them through the process of how it will be done. You can tell them, they need to sit on a chair, water will be sprayed on their head, a professional will be using a pair of scissors to do this and every other minute detail.
If you do this, nothing will come as a surprise to them at the salon and they might remain calm through the entire haircut session.
WHERE SHOULD I GET A HAIRCUT DONE FOR MY TINY TOT?
Once you let them know they will be having a haircut soon, you will clearly know if they are ok with it or if they need more time. If they are reluctant, you need to give them the time they need and prepare them more. Eventually, they will be ready even if they are a bit apprehensive.
The fret is quite common which is why you need to choose a salon that knows how to deal with kids and is trained to give them a haircut. Many kids might need a distraction like a cartoon being played or having cartoon posters around or giving them a book that they like, during the process.
At the House of Pepe salon, there are professionals who are well trained to do this and also have the decors that are kid-friendly. We have made sure it makes them feel like a safe space.
We know this isn’t just enough to remove anxious thoughts from your head completely. So, here are a few tips that you can follow that will help you and your kid get you through the session:
* Go the time they’re active and have had a good night’s sleep the previous day. This way they will not be cranky.
* Carry their favorite toy along. It will keep them happy and makes them feel at home.
* Carry their favorite treats along. If you see them fret or if they are in a bad mood, you can treat them and they will instantly feel better.
