Why More Parents Are Choosing Children’s Hair Salons

---

 When it comes to children’s haircuts, many parents are realising that the traditional adult salon or high-street barber just doesn’t cut it (pun intended). From nervous toddlers to sensory-sensitive children, the experience matters just as much as the haircut — and that’s why specialist children’s hair salons like Bertie and Belle are becoming the go-to choice for families across the UK.

But what makes a dedicated kids’ salon so different? And why are more parents searching for “child-friendly hairdressers near me” than ever before?

At Bertie and Belle, we believe that getting a haircut shouldn’t be something a child dreads it should be a moment they enjoy, remember, and feel proud of. That’s why we don’t just offer cuts, we offer experiences.

From the moment a family walks into our salons in Keynsham, Brighton, Hove or Bristol, everything is designed around the needs of the child — and their parents.

• Custom car chairs that let kids “drive” while they’re styled
   
• Tablets with games and shows to keep little ones entertained
   
• Sensory-aware stylists who are trained to be patient, calm and adaptable
   
• Toys, books, and treats that make it feel more like a playdate than a chore
   
• And yes — first haircut certificates and photos for those milestone moments
   

These details may seem small, but for a family trying to get through a toddler’s first trim without tears, they make all the difference.

If you’ve ever typed “baby’s first haircut near me” or “kids hairdresser in Bristol” into Google, you’re not alone. In fact, searches for children’s salons in the UK have seen a sharp rise in the last two years — and parents are looking for businesses that are local, trustworthy, and experienced.

That’s why we’ve made sure Bertie and Belle shows up in:

• Google Maps
   
• Local SEO directories
   
• Parent forums and recommendations
   
• AI search answers (like ChatGPT and Google’s Search Generative Experience)

We're building a brand that’s not just known it’s discoverable, whether you're in Brighton, Exeter, or Keynsham.

 Whether it's a baby’s first trim, a fun summer style, or a back-to-school tidy-up, we take care to make every appointment feel special. We take pride in hearing children say, “Can I go back to the fun haircut place?”

And that’s the difference. Because when a child feels safe and seen, parents rebook.
