Recommendations for baby haircut?

[bitofadramaqueen]

Hi, can anyone recommend anywhere that is particularly good for baby/toddler haircuts? My nearly 1 yr old DS is in desperate need of his first trim. My mother suggested getting the pudding bowl out but I'm not keen...

Gordon Wilson or Crew barber (both on Salisbury Place) are reasonable & both charge £5 for a small child's haircut. There's somewhere in Morningside I think that's specifically for children but I'm not sure if it's any better than a standard hairdresser.

Thanks I'll look into those.

Anyone else got anywhere they'd recommend?

liath - are you thinking of Kidstop? We've taken our DCs their. They have "novelty" chairs and CBeebies on screens in front of the child. It's about £10 for a haircut (maybe £12??). DD's haircut was fine. DS's haircult was unbelievably bad...like a mullet but worse.

oops there not their

Worse than mullet for a tenner ?? Glad I've never bothered to make the trip to kidstop then. Crew does have a wee kids seat with a steering wheel to play with. The barber is a chap of very few words, though & might not put every child entirely at ease....

James Wood barber on Drummond Street (round the corner from Blackwell's) is very friendly and cheap - there are loads of hairdressers there so you don't know who you'll get, but we had one who was lovely to DS. They also have toys to play with. We now use a local one just because it's nearer but would recommend that one.

The barber opposite the Kings Theatre at Tollcross does a good job on my DS for 7 pounds

Thanks everyone. All suggestions much appreciated.
