Best Places for Kids' Haircuts in Philadelphia From Baby Haircuts to Cool Teen Spots

Submitted by Lindsay Li on Sun, 02/04/2024 - 9:00am

Whether you're getting your kid's first haircut or your teen needs a cool new cut, these salons and shops will take care of little Philadelphians.

Getting the first haircut is a big milestone moment. Will you excitedly cut off those baby locks as soon as possible in favor of a more refined 'do? Mark it with the first birthday? Or even wait until they are old enough to tell you that they demand a haircut. Whatever your choice of timing, when you are finally ready to make the appointment, you want to make the experience a positive one. You might want to start with asking if your stylist does child haircuts, especially if you have a good relationship. But if that's not in the cards, there are plenty of choices in Philadelphia.

Let's be honest, teens can be tricky, too. A lot of these salons are also perfect for your growing kiddos.

Looking for more fun things to do with your littlest one? Check out our Baby Activity Guide for all the age-appropriate fun for your babe. We've also got tons of great fun for those tweens and teens, too!
