As a parent, you have probably wondered at least once: Is it time to get another haircut? The answer is not so clear when it comes to kids. Growth patterns are different, fashions change fast, and small children do not necessarily talk when they need a cut. Nevertheless, there are certain indicators that will help to understand when it is high time to schedule a haircut among children, and, even more important, if there is a certain place where the haircut can be a pleasant and enjoyable process.
We make it convenient to have your child looking neat with their hair at Snip-its and ensure that every visit is a fun adventure. In case you are not sure when to make the next appointment, here are five obvious signs to watch out to know when to come in–along with why your child might actually look forward to going.
1. Hair Is Falling in the Eyes or Face
Among the most widespread symptoms that your child requires a haircut is when the bangs or the front layers start to creep into their eyes. This may cause discomfort when reading, playing, or doing schoolwork- and when they are pushing it aside all the time, it becomes a distraction.
In addition to the nuisance factor, longer face-framing items may also block the vision of your child and influence their focusing capabilities. When you see their hair in their eyes or their face, it is likely they need a cut.
Our stylists at Snip-its understand how to re-style bangs or shorten front layers to restore visibility, but without losing the fun or comfort of the process.
2. Styles Are Losing Their Shape
Haircuts grow out and that is completely normal. However, once layers begin to appear uneven, ends become thick, or the overall shape of your child haircut appears out of balance, it is time to see a stylist. Some styles such as bobs, fades or short trims need more frequent maintenance to keep them in top shape.
Snip-its stylists are trained to redesign current styles or suggest cuts that grow out well between visits and are easy to maintain. You will never feel that you are guessing, our staff will be there to advise you on the right time and style according to the type of hair and the lifestyle of your child.
3. Tangles Are Turning into an Everyday Battle
When children begin to wake up with a head full of knots, or brushing at bedtime becomes a constant battle, then the hair is probably too long or unbalanced. Hair can become much easier to handle by trimming the ends and cutting out split strands.
This is particularly necessary in children with longer or curlier hair where knots and matting may result in breakage or even pain. Regular haircut will make your everyday life easier and will make the hair of your child healthy, shiny and without any tangles.
And at Snip-its, we will keep them entertained and happy during the process by providing games, videos, and even a prize at the end!
4. They’re Starting to Look a Bit “Overgrown”
Even when your child is not experiencing hair tangles or having their hair get into their eyes, you might begin to see that the haircut is slightly too grown out, especially in the neckline, ears, or sideburns. This wild look may cause your child to appear untidy, despite having neat and combed hair.
A little bit of styling by a stylist can go a long way, and can give their hair cut a sharp edge and give it some structure without having to make a drastic change. It is a temporary solution, but it will give your child a very polished appearance.
Snip-its stylists are masters at making these minor changes with kids entertained, relaxed, and smiling.
5. Your Child Wants a New Style
Children are experimenters, and hair is one of the most common forms of experimentation. They may have noticed a cool haircut on a favorite character, or they may just want something new, but a child requesting a new style is an excellent way to encourage their growing independence.
Snip-its is the perfect spot for these occasions. Our stylists are trained to handle kids of all ages and personality types and know how to listen attentively and give advice on styles that fit your child’s hair type and maintenance requirements.
Although your child might not know what they want precisely, our kid-friendly atmosphere and friendly staff will assist them through the process, in a manner that is empowering, rather than overwhelming.
