Under 16 Haircut

What's Included

The Under 16 Haircut follows the same consultation-first approach as our adult cuts, adjusted for pace — a quick, simple chat about the style, the cut itself, and a tidy finish. There's no pressure to sit perfectly still for forty minutes the way an adult service might run; the appointment is paced to suit whoever's in the chair, with breaks built in if needed rather than treated as an inconvenience.

Parents or guardians are welcome to stay with younger clients throughout the appointment, and most do, particularly for first haircuts or with younger children who are still getting used to the experience. The barber will talk through what's happening as they go if that helps keep things calm.

This is a genuinely popular service for local families in St John's Wood precisely because it isn't treated as a lesser version of an adult haircut squeezed into a shorter slot. The same standard of scissor and clipper work applies — it's the pace and the approach that flexes, not the quality of the cut itself.

For nervous first-timers, the barbershop environment itself often helps rather than hinders — sitting in the same chairs as everyone else, watching other cuts happen around the room, tends to be less intimidating for a lot of children than a separate, overly clinical kids' section would be.

Who It's For

Any client under 16, from first haircuts to regular school-term trims. Suits nervous first-timers as much as confident regulars who just want a normal barbershop haircut without any of the noise or fuss sometimes associated with children's hairdressing. It's a solid option for parents looking for a barber in St John's Wood who'll take the time needed rather than rushing a young client through, and for older teenagers who'd rather sit in the main barbershop than a separate kids' service entirely.
