Your child can sit on your lap, on a booster board across the arms, or in the regular chair. Change your mind halfway through if you like.

“He sat on my lap the whole time and nobody rushed us. Ariela let him hold the cape, and we left with a haircut and a smile.”
Kathia R.Parent of a first-timer
“Both boys back to back, one trip. They picked the booster seat and the barbers worked around them.”

Questions parents ask
How young is too young for a first cut?
We welcome children from their first birthday, and earlier if hair is in the way. Come when your child is ready.
Can my child sit on my lap?
Yes. Many first cuts happen on a lap, with the cape over both of you.
Can we walk in without a booking?
Yes, when a chair is open. Waits vary; the board shows who is next. A booking holds your time.
What if my child gets upset halfway?
We pause, let them hold the clippers switched off, and take a break. Stopping is always fine.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. Ariela speaks English and Spanish, and this site is in both.
Ready for the first cut?
Pick a time, or walk in when a chair is open. Tell us it's a first haircut and we'll slow everything down.
