How to plan a kids’ haircut in Winnipeg

A kids’ haircut goes more smoothly when the artist knows what you want and your child knows what to expect. Here are a few simple ways to prepare for a visit to Artistly on St Anne’s Road in Winnipeg.

Before the appointment

Pick a time that usually works for your child. If they are tired or hungry at a particular time of day, choose another opening when you can. Tell them in plain words what will happen: they will sit in a chair while an artist trims their hair. A favourite small book or quiet activity can help during a wait.

If your child finds clippers, noise or a cape uncomfortable, call the salon before booking. Explain what has helped at past appointments so the team can tell you what is possible.

Explain the style

Bring one or two clear photos of the haircut you have in mind. Show the front, sides and back if those details matter. Tell the artist how short is too short, whether the hair needs to stay out of your child’s eyes, and how much styling you want to do at home. Photos are a starting point; hair texture and growth patterns can change the result.

For a first visit, a simple trim may be easier to discuss than a dramatic change. Ask the artist how the cut will grow out and whether your preferred style needs regular upkeep.

At the salon

Arrive with enough time to settle in. Let your child know they can ask a question or say if something feels uncomfortable. The artist can explain each step as they go. If your child needs a pause, speak up early rather than trying to push through.
