Where to get a child's haircut that doesn't cost the earth?

[dulwichquine]

We used to go to the Little Clipper but they've put their prices up to ?13 which strikes me as really pricey. Anyone got any other suggestions? Thanks!

Yep GMs are ?15 now! Get a mobile hairdresser to come to your house - find a recommendation on the boards here. I used Lena Sousa and she did a 4 yo for ?7 and a 2yo for ?5.

Another barber shop? The one in Melbourne Grove only charges ?10 for a man. Lots of recommendations on the forum have been made.

Oh yes - the one on Melbourne Grove, definitely. She's lovely and v good with children. She's only cut my son's hair but I'm sure she'd trim a little girl's hair too if you asked.

Bokis in Herne Hill only charges ?8 I think.

Definitely the other hairdressers on Melbourne Grove (across from the ice cream shop). Jenny cuts both my boys hair, is extremely good with children and gives a great cut. She charges ?8 but I always give her ?10 because she is so good.

Jazz on LL recently did a good job on my 2, including wriggly and water-hating 1 year old.

From memory ?10 a pop.

Have you though about doing it yourself? After paying ?10 like a fool for the lady at Little Clippers to spend 2 minutes lunging at my 7-month-old (he has a lot of hair!) with scissors only to result in a terrible cut, I decided I couldn't do a worse job myself. I've done it twice now and it was easy and he looks great.

We go to the barber/hairdresser beside the post office on Forest Hill Road (near the Co-Op, at the end of Dunstans). It was ?11 for my son but she spent ages cutting and layering (he has loads of very thick, straight hair) and did a great job.

We had a serious mullet-tastic experience at Jazz on Lordship Lane but I think that was probably because of my bad instructions!

Agree - the new shop on Melbourne across from scoop is fantastic for kids! Lovely gal - takes her time...

[dulwichquine]

Thanks for all the suggestions, very helpful indeed. There are alternatives out there! This is why the EDF is so good!

Village Way next to Bushells is ?5.50 for my 3 year old !!

Barbers on corner of Peckham Rye and Barry Road charge ?9 for children and the service is superb. Coffee/tea and biscuits/sweets offered while you wait and even a beer if preferred

[dulwichquine]

Thank you again!

[KikiMac]

As ever, go outside ED to get reasonable prices! Nunhead Lane 'Network' is great too. Cinzy (sp?) is lovely and charges ?6 i think...

Hello,

Rang GMs for an appointment for tomorrow, they said ?10 for my 3yo boy and ?14 for my 5yo girl...!

Can anyone help - what's the name of the other hairdresser on Melbourne Grove, the one opposite the ice cream shop? I'll give them a ring and see if any cheaper.

Thanks

Claire

Another recommendation for GK Barbers on Melbourne Grove. I took my 3 year old boy this morning and he has just had one of the best haircuts he's ever had.
