Bringing your kid to the salon to get a haircut can be daunting, especially if you’re doing so for the first time. As if their hyperactivity isn’t enough, some kids may also run at the sight and sounds of a regular salon.
That’s where the salons that specialise in kids’ haircuts come in handy. They’re special salons designed to keep the little ones entertained, relaxed and happy, as hairdressers accustomed to working with kids do their magic. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best kids’ haircut salons in Singapore for a fun, easy experience for you and your child!
Kids’ haircut at fun locations
Scissors Paper Stone
Fun Fact: Scissors Paper Stone wasn’t named on a whim! “Scissors” stands for the grooming service that is at the core of their business, “Paper” represents the array of educational toys available for children to play with there, and “Stone” embodies physical fitness for your child.
Most children aren’t known for handling waiting times very well. Thankfully, this kids’ haircut salon employs a reminder service, where you register for a queue number on an iPad so that you’re free to walk around the shopping mall with your child before it’s their turn. Don’t underestimate how cutting the unnecessary queue time can make the entire haircut experience go a lot more smoothly for you and your kid!

EC House Kids’ Corner
You might have heard of EC House before, but did you also know that they have stations within the salon dedicated to cutting kids’ hair? The kids’ haircut areas have kiddy rides instead of regular salon chairs, so your munchkins can enjoy themselves while getting their trims.
EC House is known for being one of the most affordable places to get haircuts for adults, and this still remains true for their kids’ haircuts. Your child’s haircut will cost an affordable S$12 at most outlets, or S$15 at 100AM, AnchorPoint, SingPost Centre, Thomson Plaza, and One@Kent Ridge. Check this page to find out which outlets have kiddy rides available.

Poika & Tytar
Getting children to sit still for just a while is already a challenge – what’s more for the entire duration of a haircut. That’s why, Poika & Tytar have cute “booths” for each kid to sit in while getting their hair cut.
The “booths” are cute chairs that are shaped as different types of vehicles, like cars and trains, so your kid has an extra fun time at the salon! The TVs in front of the booth also stream cartoons so that your child will be happily entertained as the hairstylists trim away.

Huaxia Taimaobi
You probably knew that Chinese parents sometimes celebrate their baby’s first month by shaving their hair. Did you also know that the tradition goes further where some parents not only keep their kid’s hair as memento, but even choose to turn them into calligraphy brushes? This practice apparently goes all the way back to the Tang dynasty, more than a millennium ago.
These calligraphy brushes are called taimaobi, and Huaxia Taimaobi is one of the centres in Singapore that provide this service. Founded in 2003, Huaxia Taimaobi’s brush-processing masters boast at least 25 years of experience in their trade. They welcome visitors to their brush-making facility at Toa Payoh to witness their meticulous process. Brushes can cost from S$38 to S$400+, depending on the design and type of wood you’d like. If you do choose a brush, your baby’s haircut will be free of charge.
If, however, you simply want a haircut for your kid without any frills, Huaxia Taimaobi charges S$21.40 for a trim done at their outlet, and S$60 if you’d like a kids’ haircut done in your home.
