If you’ve ever faced a battle at the mention of a trim, you know just how tough finding the right hairdresser can be. Tears, struggles, and anxiety at ordinary salons often leave both children and parents dreading the experience. That’s why so many families are searching for a true “child friendly hair salon near me”—a place where children relax, have fun, and leave with beaming smiles.
Kids Hair Play is redefining what a children’s haircut means across the West Midlands, with three imaginative salons in Sutton Coldfield, Hagley Road, and Wolverhampton. We don’t just give great haircuts—we create happy memories. Here’s what sets us apart, how we can help your family, and how to secure your child’s spot at your nearest Kids Hair Play.
Why Pick a Child Specialist Salon for Your Family?
Let’s face it: most barbers and beauty salons aren’t built for little ones. The tools, chairs, and even the way stylists interact can be intimidating for children. Kids Hair Play flips the script—every detail in our salons is designed with your child at the centre, making salons approachable, playful, and positive.
Our passionate, highly-trained team brings both technical skill and heaps of patience. We get to know your child, working at their pace and never rushing the experience. While our scissors work wonders, our play spaces, decorations, and unique touches make waiting (or even getting a haircut!) genuinely fun.
A Fun-Filled Experience, Not Just a Quick Cut
At Kids Hair Play, haircuts become exciting adventures. Each salon features novelty seats shaped like cars or in vibrant colours, inviting children to play pretend while they get their trim. Our playful theme is more than visual—expect bubbles floating about, colourful balloons, and captivating children’s TV shows or games to hold your little one’s focus.
Forgot the old “sit-still-and-hurry-up” routine; in our salons, movement and laughter are absolutely allowed! Children can explore sensory walls and soft play areas, or choose their own cartoons and tunes for stress-free pampering.
Extra Patient, Sensory-Friendly, and Autism-Aware
If your child has sensory needs—or if you simply want a stylist who gets the jitters and wobbles—Kids Hair Play is for you. We have created a truly welcoming, low-pressure zone for all kids, including those with autism or sensory processing differences. Our stylists are skilled in adapting to every child’s needs, whether that means using quieter clippers, breaking the haircut into little steps, or taking a breather to play halfway through. We succeed where others give up.
Above all, there is zero judgement and no pressure. We’ll never force any child to sit through a haircut if they’re not ready—trust and comfort always come first.
