A children's salon that sends the haircut home with you

We are on North Oak in Gladstone. Kids cuts are $25, and the first haircut package is $35.95 with the photos, the scrapbook page and the lock of hair in an envelope.

What goes in the envelope

Package, not an add on
Kept

A lock of hair

Cut, taped down and labelled with the date, so it does not end up loose in a drawer.

Kept

A scrapbook page

Made up while you are still in the shop, with room for the before and after photos.

Taken

Before and after

Two photographs. One with the hair they walked in with, one with the hair they leave in.

A close view of soft brown hair loosely braided.
The lock goes in an envelope with the date on the front.
Handed over

A balloon

On top of the sticker, the sucker and the toy off the shelf that every haircut ends with.

Good to know

Sensory first haircuts

Book the sensory cut and mention the package in the notes. Same keepsakes, quieter room.

Sensory appointments

Some children find a haircut genuinely hard. The clippers buzz, the cape pulls, the room is bright and full of other people's noise.

Miss Kenna holds specific hours for these appointments and works them on her own, so the shop stays quiet and nobody is waiting on you. Sensory Saturdays and Sensory Sundays were added in August 2025.

Kenna has been cutting children's hair for years and has worked with kids who are shy, nonverbal, frightened, or all three on the same day.

Booking one

  1. Choose Sensory Boy Haircut or Sensory Girl Haircut on the booking page.
  2. Pick a time inside the sensory hours, marked in blue on the calendar. Anything booked outside them has to be rescheduled.
  3. Adding the first haircut package: book the sensory cut and say so in the notes.
  4. If nothing on the calendar works, call the shop rather than giving up on it.
