A kids haircut in Singapore goes far more smoothly at a salon built for children, where car- and plane-shaped chairs, cartoons and unhurried, child-friendly stylists turn a dreaded chore into an outing. This guide rounds up children's hair salons that lead on little ones — from babies' ceremonial first cuts to school-age styles — each checked against its own website or listing. Treat it as a shortlist to explore, not a strict ranking.

1. Scissors Paper Stone

Scissors Paper Stone is a children's hair salon that says it wants to "make the most out of every haircut" because kids deserve fun, seating little ones in car- and rocket-shaped chairs with iPads, games and cartoons to keep them still. It runs on a queue-number system rather than fixed appointment slots and operates several outlets, spanning central malls and the east. By its own account it caters to everyone from babies through to primary-schoolers.

2. Bonbon Blowout Bar+

Bonbon Blowout Bar+ describes itself as a family hair salon serving newborns, toddlers and children of all ages, and "one of the few salons that serves the whole family under one roof". It says its stylists are trained to work with even the youngest clients using a calm, unhurried approach, and it also runs an island-wide home-visit service for cuts done at home. Its outlets sit at Marina Square and Downtown East.

3. BabySPA

BabySPA specialises in the very young and says it was the first in Singapore to offer baby water-training, massage and haircut services, catering to infants roughly from one to 24 months old. For a first haircut it seats babies in a toy car with a children's show playing while staff work gently, and it offers a home service alongside its outlets. Locations include Punggol and HarbourFront.

4. Huaxia Taimaobi Centre

Huaxia Taimaobi Centre is a Toa Payoh specialist in a baby's ceremonial first haircut, best known for turning the shorn fetal hair into a traditional Chinese calligraphy brush (胎毛笔) as a keepsake, alongside umbilical-cord mementos. Operating since 2003 by its own account, it frames the first cut as a milestone rather than a routine trim and says it has made keepsake brushes for tens of thousands of babies. It suits parents who want the customary first-month shave handled with care.

5. Kids 'N' Me

Kids 'N' Me is a long-running children's salon tucked into United Square near Novena, a mall geared towards families. Little ones can sit in a car seat and watch cartoons while veteran stylists handle everything from a simple short-back-and-sides to a full mohawk, and staff keep toys on hand to settle nervous first-timers. It also offers a temporary colour spray for special occasions.

6. Poika & Tytar

Poika & Tytar is a dedicated kids' hairdresser where children sit in vintage-style car- and aeroplane-shaped chairs and watch cartoons through their cut, in a colourful space with wall decals and a small play area. It shares premises with an adult salon, so a parent can get a trim in the same visit. It operates in the east of Singapore; confirm the current outlet and opening days before heading down, as its location has shifted over time.

7. LAKids Cowboy

LAKids Cowboy, a parent-and-child concept from homegrown haircut chain EC House, is built so a parent and child can be cut at the same time rather than one waiting on the other, and even provides capes that let a small child sit on a parent's lap. It says boys get a "little gentleman" treatment while girls can pick accessories to finish the look. The main outlet sits inside VivoCity at HarbourFront, in front of an outdoor play area, with a weekend chair at Great World.

8. Little Red Dot

Little Red Dot is a walk-in family salon in Forum The Shopping Mall on Orchard Road — a mall so full of children's shops it is nicknamed "kids central" — and it has become a go-to for children's cuts as a result. Its stylists are described as patient across the whole spectrum, from toddlers facing a first haircut to teenagers after a restyle. Adults can be cut in the same stop.

9. EC House Kids' Corner

EC House Kids' Corner is the child-focused format of the budget haircut chain EC House, with selected outlets fitted out with vehicle-shaped kiddy-ride chairs — spaceships and cars — and playful circus or beach themes to distract young children. It says its stylists are trained to handle babies and toddlers, and the Kids' Corner branches lean on walk-ins rather than appointments. It is the value-focused, heartland-friendly option here.

How to choose

  • Match the salon to your child's age and stage. A newborn's ceremonial first cut, a wriggly toddler and a school-age child all need different things, so a baby-haircut specialist, a themed kids' salon and a family salon are not interchangeable — choose for the child in front of you.
  • Look at how they keep children calm. Car- or plane-shaped chairs, cartoons, tablets, toys and a small play area genuinely cut down on meltdowns, so ask what a salon offers and whether the stylist is used to nervous or sensory-sensitive first-timers.
  • Check walk-in versus appointment, and time your visit. Many kids' salons run on walk-ins or a queue number, which can mean long waits at weekends and after school, so go early or on a quiet weekday and confirm the day is not a rest day.
  • Confirm what the cut covers and who does it. Ask whether a wash or fringe-tidy is included, whether they are comfortable with your child's hair type or texture, and, for a first haircut, whether they can set aside a lock of hair if you want a keepsake.
  • Weigh location, parking and siblings. A salon you can reach easily — ideally one that can also cut a parent or sibling in the same trip — is far more sustainable for the regular six-to-eight-week cycle than a one-off destination across town.
