Pick the right time
Mornings after breakfast beat late afternoons. Booking online on Vagaro means no waiting around, which matters most with little ones.
Prepare them
Talk about it beforehand, show them a photo of the shop or a video of clippers, and let them watch a parent or sibling get a cut first.
Tell your barber
Mention noise sensitivity, a cowlick, or a style they're excited about. Barbers adjust: scissors instead of clippers, breaks, a slower pace.
Keep it positive
Praise the result, take a picture, and book the next one. Many dads and sons at Original Walker's book back to back with the same barber for years.
