The Calm Cut™ Toolkit

A sensory-safe first haircut toolkit designed to help children, families and hair professionals approach haircuts with more confidence, predictability and support.


I created The Calm Cut™ Toolkit at Sien Hair, my private sensory-safe salon in Melbourne, drawing on both lived experience and years of supporting neurodivergent, anxious and sensory-sensitive clients.
It’s also been shaped by feedback and collaboration from families and allied health professionals, including occupational therapists and speech therapists.
The Calm Cut™ Toolkit is a downloadable digital resource for mobile and desktop, with printable tools and guides to support calmer, more collaborative haircut experiences.
