Kids who are anxious about haircuts

My child REALLY doesn’t like haircuts…

This is a lot more common than you probably know, and this is why Giggles and Scissors offer haircuts in the comfort of your child’s home.

The biggest help in this situation is understanding that when a child goes near a pair of scissors, the first reaction from a parent is “NO”, “don’t touch”, “they will cut you”, “hurt you”, “ouchy” and so on… But what happens when you take them into a hairdressing salon? They are placed in front of a mirror, told to sit still while a stranger (in most cases) waves a pair of sharp scissors around their face, ears and head. It is ok for your little one to be scared, upset or angry about haircuts. It won’t last forever and when they get past that “fear” it usually won’t return! The most important thing is that you educate them why they need to get haircuts and that no matter how much they may not like it, it’s something that just has to be done.

Parents’ haircuts

Can I have my hair cut while you’re here to do my child’s? Absolutely! Giggles and Scissors has a “word of mouth” home salon in north Brisbane. Pam has been hairdressing for 11 years and 70% of her clients are adults. She understands how hard it can be getting out of the house for “you” time, so chat to Pam about it when you make your child’s appointment.

For more info regarding Giggles and Scissors’ mobile haircut pricing, please visit their website. Whilst Pam services most of Brisbane, please check if she covers your area. If not, she has a home studio where she can see you.

Testimonials

Lavelle Hair salon

We came along to your braiding course a few weeks ago and I wanted to say a huge “thanks” for your expertise and patience. It sounds silly but it’s so satisfying learning a new skill. Still need to practise but we are on our way!!‘ – superstar braider

All you need is Lavelle. I have finally found my forever hairdresser. I’ve never felt so relaxed, comfortable, listened to and so happy with the results ever….and the playroom….the playroom! My 4 year old daughter loved hanging out playing and watching Netflix while mummy’s hair was restored to normality. The little things and the big things are taken care of with a rare mix of professionalism and personal touch. I feel like a person and not a number. Thank you Sarah and Susie.‘ – Susie

Sarah and Susie are true artists. I trust them completely to either honour my requests or to make suggestions that will flatter me. I’m not exaggerating when I saw that I always get heaps of compliments on my hair. Thanks to them!‘ – Julie

You will be well looked after by the staff at Lavelle Hair. I don’t think I’ve ever met a team with such personal customer service as Sarah and Susie.‘ – Susan
