Kids’ haircuts: Salons in Singapore for newborn and children’s haircuts
1. LAKids Cowboy
Wouldn’t it be good if you or your partner could head somewhere for a quick trim and have the kids’ hair cut at the same time? Sure would, which is why we love LAKids Cowboy. It’s Singapore’s first parent-child haircut and styling concept, and when we checked it out, we were suitably impressed.

2. BabySPA
If you’re looking for a newborn haircut or if your slightly-older-but-still-tiny toddler needs a trim, look no further. At BabySpa, your kids’ hair is in good hands. If you’ve also coo-ed over videos of babies in pools with adorable neck floats, this is the place! The wonderful stylists will ensure the gentlest of haircuts while your baby watches a kids’ show, sitting in a toy car. And, if it’s your baby’s first haircut, they can come to you with one week’s notice. Suitable for kids from newborn up to two years old.
BabySPA, locations at Punggol Oasis Terraces, Harbourfront Centre, Northpoint City, and Westgate.
3. Scissors Paper Stone
This salon for kids is one of our faves. It takes out oodles of the stress that comes with getting your kid’s hair cut, and it’s all thanks to some nifty gadgets. Register your child on the iPad at the counter and then await snip time. Your turn? It’s over to the red racing car seats. Those scissors and clippers make light work on your little ones – the games and cartoons (or toys for babies and toddlers) keep them still and happy. Your children will be quietly groomed in no time. Easy peasy.
Scissors Paper Stone, three locations at Forum the Shopping Mall, Marina Square and Parkway Parade.
4. LittleRedDot
At this kids’ hairdressers, only walk-ins are accepted, which can mean a slight wait at busy times. The good news is you can call them on the day itself to be placed in the queue and reduce the wait on-site. Regardless, it’s a great option for getting the a hair cut for your kiddo or newborn. Its central location at Forum gets the thumbs up from us, and the quick, stylish haircuts keep many parents coming back. The fact that you’re already in a great shopping mall for families means there’s plenty to keep you occupied both before and after the snip! A great barber for kids to add to your list.
