Kids’ first haircut: tips for parents

Inside Nonehz Barbers, Central Dunedin

A first haircut can feel like a big moment for kids and parents. A little preparation makes it much easier.

Before you go

Talk about the visit in advance. Explain that the barber will trim the hair with clippers or scissors and that it doesn’t hurt. Choose a time when your child is rested and fed.

Bring a photo

A picture of the style you want removes the guesswork, especially if your child can’t explain it yet.

What to expect

At Nonehz we offer kids’ haircuts for ages 13 and under, as a standard cut with no fade or as a low, mid or high skin, taper or burst fade. Our barbers keep it gentle and patient, and finish with light styling. Check current service times on the menu.

During the cut

Let your child sit still in the chair if they can. A short chat or a favourite topic helps. If they get restless, a quick break is fine.

Father and son, or brothers

If you’re bringing more than one, our Father & Son and 2 Brothers combos let you book back-to-back cuts in one visit.
