Absolutely, our youngest ever client was just 2 weeks old! We offer gentle baby haircuts in Perth, including first haircut packages designed to make this milestone feel special (and stress-free for parents).
We work slowly, calmly and at your child’s pace — whether that means cuddles on your lap or plenty of breaks.
What is a First Haircut Package?
Our First Haircut Package celebrates your little one's milestone moment. It includes:
A gentle, unhurried first haircut, a keepsake lock of hair and a special certificate.
