Toddlers Haircut - ED recommendations?

[frankie77]

Anyone recommend a hairdressers in ED for a toddlers' haircut - looking for a reasonable price and no bowls on head if possible ;)

Thanks in advance!

Hi, we always go to Little Clippers on North Cross Road. One of their 'chairs' is a car and they also have little video screens showing cartoons. A simple cut of my 3 year old's hair was 9 pounds if I remember correctly.

Carly will come to your house and do it for ?7 or little clippers x

[frankie77]

thanks both :)

GK barbers on Melbourne Grove always do a very good job on my 3 year old son, and the guy there is very patient with him.

I'd second GK Barbers. They do a good (and speedy) cut on my 3 year old and are very reasonablly priced. I did go to Little Clippers a couple of times and the cuts were ok, but I think you pay a premium for the added extras which I haven't found we've really needed.

We've gone to Little Clippers but now always go to GK barbers on Melbourne Grove too.

Another for GK barbers.... They are very patient. I go first thing before there is a queue!

I love GK Barbers but since the lady left the chap (French I think?) doesn't cut little girls hair very well. He had admitted to me that he doesn't cut girls' hair well and is better with boys. He cuts my 5 year old boy's hair brilliantly and we always go back to him. My daughter, on the other hand, has had some very dubious cuts from him so I am now looking for a hairdresser for a little girls.

I have tried Little Clipper but find the staff mostly rude and the cuts not of great quality and the price very high.

Recommendations anyone? Thx

I can recommend Stevie Thomas, mobile hairdresser who did mine and my toddler's hair at home. She is really reasonably priced (?20 for both of us - a wet cut for me) and was very good with my little boy - I wasn't sure how it would go as it was his first haircut, but I think seeing mummy having it done first and being at home definitely helped. Here's a link to her ad:

Thanks jennypops!

Since Stevie is away, can anyone recommend someone for my daughter's first haircut (15 months)? We're in Honor Oak so would rather somewhere closer to Forest Hill side or otherwise.

Strawbs - you mentioned a Carly?

Mandy at Shear Class in Nunhead. She is brilliant with kids, great cut, not a fancy salon but excellent service. My son was 'haircutphobic' until he met her.

Network hair in Nunhead near the green- ?7, really nice cut and put my little girl of 3 at ease...

[devsdev]

Thank you - I'll try those out!

Took my twins for their first hair cut to GK Barbers in Melbourne Grove today so thank you for the recommendations and I agree with all the positive comments.

Ahmed was brilliant. Knew all the distraction techniques including a big tv with cbeebies on and did a quick, neat job at a very reasonable price (?8 a child).

We were just a walk in and he says Sundays it's normally possible to do that rather than book.

Just walked-in on a Sunday for my 9yr olds cut at GK barbers (he'd asked to go back there), Melbourne Grove - ?8 cut, highly recommended...open 10am - 4pm Sundays.

And we've used Dulwich Barbers for a rowdy 19 month old. Only place that actually managed to do it, very patient and with a smile on her face. All for ?8.

This experience was way better than little clippers that only did half his head, moaned constantly about it and still still charged me ?10.
