A curated list of kid-friendly hair salons in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)

(Last updated: October 10, 2024*)

“I haven’t taken my kid here yet, but after hearing how super kid-friendly Parkside Barbershop is for kiddos from a fellow daycare parent, we’ll definitely be checking it! This place apparently has no bells and whistles and simply and happily keeps their three year old calm and easy going during his cuts. They’d been to Melon Heads and get why it’s popular for first cuts, but this dad insists that Parkside’s cuts are way better, and most of all the stylists are fantastic keeping at toddlers happy during their trims!” - Anonymous Real Mama (as heard at recent toddler birthday party) | ****https://www.instagram.com/parkside.toronto/

"Took my son here for a kid’s haircut and the owner, Jimmy, greeted us upon arrival and took care of all our needs. My son is usually very scared of haircuts, as he is a toddler and I have had trouble taking him ANYWHERE for a cut. It has always been a dreadful experience, but Jimmy made him feel comfortable and eased all his worries throughout the whole cut. He didn’t even cry once! He had so much fun.

It was also super helpful that they had multiple TVs there and he even offered to turn on Paw Patrol for him.

The feel when you walk into the shop is very bright and lively, all the barbers were welcoming. The place is new and very luxurious feeling. Will be our go-to spot from now on! Love, love, love that they have multiple promos going on ATM.” - Brenda | ****https://www.instagram.com/blackdiamondbarbershopinc/

About the Melon Head Children’s Hair Car 2100 Bloor St W #2 location.

“We have been bringing our son here from 18 months. The haircuts are quick and they do a good job. The staff know how to work with kids. Our son is now older and more able to sit still for longer so we'll likely be transitioning him to my husband's barber which is much closer to us, but this place was really great to have while he was little and we're grateful for it and highly recommend it to other parents of little ones.” - DV | ****https://www.instagram.com/melonheadkidscuts/

“Hey mamas! I wanted to share that my super talented friend, who usually does hair and makeup for film and TV 🎥 started an amazing in-home hair and makeup service. She comes over to cut my hair and my toddler’s 💇‍♀️ and we love it! She is occasionally in Roncy, and usually has a few spots open. If anyone’s interested, feel free to DM her directly! It’s such a fun and easy experience 😊” - Anonymous Real Mama | ****https://www.instagram.com/muandhairbylisa/

“We go to Moretti's on Roncy for our kiddo’s haircuts now. It’s $35, but it’s a legit cut. Frankly, Melon Heads wasn't the best for us. My kid's hair type is super straight, so there's no room for error if not cut perfectly even. That said, Melon Heads has an excellent atmosphere for kids, and I'd definitely recommend it for a first haircut.” - Anonymous Real Mama | ****https://www.instagram.com/morettihair/

“Oh well… I wasn’t taking her to Toni & Guy I knew that much and I needed someone who would be willing to cut a crying toddler’s hair. I knew she’d be cranky. Well as luck would have it I went in post lunch rush to Top Cuts just down the street and there was a lovely lady who was willing to attempt it. I later found out that she has a two year old grandson so her patience was explained! Oh and if you’re wondering, yes I was braving this first haircut all by myself! I had no backup personnel on standby for entertainment.” - Yashy, Parenting To Go | ****https://www.instagram.com/topcutsofficial/
