I know it might not look so good, but have you thought of doing it yourself? I cut my son's hair in the bath when it is wet and he is distracted by toys. I have seen hairdressers offering cuts for c. ?15 for toddlers and I cannot even fathom how they would get my son to sit still in a chair for more than 30 seconds without wanting to get down and/or flailing wildly and incurring the wrath of some sharp scissors. My son is 15m so maybe it gets better the older they get.


Anyway, if you can bear it, doing it yourself might be a good option!

i've only ever been charged ?5 for my son and that was at Village Way and Headnizm. Both were really nice and good with kids. Village Way give a free first haircut to your child if the parent is a regular there.


one friend tells me that her daughter was quoted ?15-20 for her first haircut though. thinks paces vary so do ask for a price idea. i do sometime also do baby ko's hair myself when he is asleep as he is becoming a wriggler now!

I've found that my 2 daughters behave better for haircuts at home. I used a pair of baby scissors to start with as I was too scared to use anything sharper. But generally have got a better cut myself than the hairdressers have managed.


Key to good behaviour is the lollipop at the end. They'll do anything for one.

I would recommend Attractions hair salon on Brockley Rise (Honor Oak). Both of my children have their hair cuts there and they are a really child friendly salon. Both of mine (boys!) totally love having their hair cut so must be good. If you google them you will find their details.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
