Parents of black or mixed race children, can you recommend a place in the area where I can take my son to have his hair cut?

My boy is not known for his ability to sit still for any long periods of time so would be a bonus if they are quick and or are good at distracting young children.


Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Hi my partner has taken our 3 year old to Slickmanz barbers on Dartmouth Road in Forest Hill. I haven't been myself but apparently they have a children's barber seat which seemed to go down quite well! They also didn't cut away all the curls which is what I was worried about!

Make sure you don't take a child that can't seat still to Jazz's Barbers. My son is quite good seating still but when the barber pulled his hair he kept moving and the barber kept getting angry with him and pulling his hair even more.


Nightmare experience today at Jazz's Barbers with our 4 year old. I wouldn't recommend anyone with young children to go there!

Hello, my son is of mixed race and has very curly hair. I take him to 'The Little Clipper' on Northcross Road, Dulwich. They're excellent and the children get to watch a cartoon on a mini personal screen so they're entertained & sit still. I struggled to find someone that could handle his curly hair & they're been great. Can't reccomend them enough.
The barbers next to E.D station.. next to the nail shop. can not remember what it is called! ask for Bobby. My son is mixed/ghanian. Bobby is lovely,allows him to touch the sheers/razor whatever you call them! Relates it to cars, bumble bees etc.. Manages to get my son to sit still for most of it and on his own in the bigboy chair. Good luck!

    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
