Helping your child prepare for their haircut
Haircuts can feel overwhelming for many reasons: unfamiliar sensations, unexpected sounds, uncertainty, communication differences or a difficult previous experience.
Our resources let children explore the haircut process before their appointment - with no pressure and at their own pace.

Parent's Guide
Practical tips for a calmer first haircut experience.
This parents guide covers simple ways to prepare your child, build confidence, and make haircut day feel smoother for the whole family.
Visual Schedule
This visual schedule breaks the haircut process down into simple, easy-to-follow steps, helping children build familiarity with the experience before they arrive. Whether your child loves routines, benefits from visual supports, or simply likes to know what to expect, this resource can be a helpful tool to use together at home.
Feel free to print it, talk through it, colour it in, or pop it on the fridge in the lead-up to haircut day.
