Who It's For
Parents, carers and grandparents booking for children up to age 11 who want a neat, age-appropriate style that fits school life and play. Ideal if you value a patient approach and a finish that looks good without fuss.
Great for straight, wavy or curly hair. Suitable for children who are new to salon visits or who prefer a quieter, step-by-step experience.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Your appointment is 45 minutes, giving time to settle in, consult and shape the cut carefully.
First visits may take a little longer as we build trust. Morning or early afternoon slots often suit younger children. For siblings, book consecutive appointments so each child has focused time.
Please arrive a few minutes early. If your child becomes unsettled, we can pause, adapt the approach or reschedule.
Aftercare & Maintenance
At home, brush gently from the ends up, and use a small amount of detangling spray if needed. For curls, apply a light leave-in conditioner and avoid heavy brushing on dry hair.
Aim for trims every 6 to 10 weeks to keep the shape tidy and comfortable. Fringe trims can be booked between visits when needed.
For school mornings, try simple routines like a low pony, soft clips or a quick scrunch for curls. We will show you easy techniques before you leave.

My daughters and I have been having our hair cut at Matthew Clulee for about 10 years, with the wonderful stylists Anna and Kelly. This Easter Saturday we took my 22 month old grand-daughter for her first ever hair cut there. They treated her like a little princess with the full salon experience: wash, cut and blow dry - and she loved every minute!

My 10 year old daughter had a significant amount of hair cut off by the amazing Fatima - the whole salon treated her like every other paying customer giving her the full salon experience, attention and time which is lovely as you do not always experience that with childrens cuts in some salons. Fatima was fantastic so caring and attentive throughout . The cut it beautiful and came home with one happy and confident young lady.
