Where To Take Your Baby for Haircuts

Right before my daughter’s 100-days celebration, I attempted to give her a haircut because “it’s good luck” and “it’ll grow back in a few days.” That is, at least according to my mother-in-law and pretty much every elderly person we bumped into in our compound.

But then this happened…

My daughter ended up with a snazzy bowl cut and bald spot on the back.

You’d think I would have learned my lesson, but right before her 1st birthday, I got talked into giving her another haircut. Because if at first, you don’t succeed, try try again? Sure! Why not…

Well, this time there was no crying, but she did end up with bangs much shorter than I had intended, and well…another bowl cut.

I guess the DIY bowl cut is a rite of passage in every child’s life, but why hadn’t I thought of going to a professional!?

Like with everything baby-related, if there’s a market for it, there are more than a few businesses that cater to it in Beijing. As such, the city has plenty of hair salons specializing in new ‘dos for those as young as 6 months or so. They’re equipped with cool airplane and animal-shaped chairs, as well as cartoons to keep the kiddos entertained and a play area so they leave with a positive experience.

Check out these kid-friendly hair salons for kids ages 0-12.
