Kids' Haircuts in Chelmsford
Getting a child’s hair cut is mostly about patience. If the barber is rushing, the child picks up on it, and the whole thing becomes a fight that puts them off for the next year.
We book sensibly so nobody is waiting, and we take the time to let them settle before we start.

What you get
Under 11s pricing on both classic cuts and skin fades, with Tiago and Tom.
A barber who will talk to them rather than over them, and who will stop if they need a minute. Grant, one of our regulars, started bringing his two year old in because of exactly this.
The same finishing standards as any other cut. Neck and ears tidied, and a proper look at the back before they get out of the chair.
Who it suits
Children under 11, at the under 11s price. Older than that and it is the standard price list, which is only a few pounds more.
First haircuts included. Tell us when you book so we can leave enough time and not put anyone under pressure.
Between cuts
Children's hair grows quickly, so four to six weeks is a normal gap. A slightly longer cut on top will stretch that out if you would rather come in less often.
If they found it hard the first time, book the same barber again. Familiarity does most of the work the second time round.

“Been going to Jackson for my hair cut for some time now, he's excellent and maintains high standards on every visit, his attention to detail is second to none and is worth every penny, so much so I even started to take my 2 year old son. Jackson makes him feel at ease as he is very patient with him making the whole experience easy and enjoyable.”
