Where Is a Good Place to Get Baby's First Hair Cut?

We took our son to Cool Cuts for Kids on Bruce B. Downs in the Super Target shopping center for his 1st cut. They have a fire truck and taxi cab car they can sit in. They do offer a 1st haircut pkg (about $18?). They have TV's for the kids to watch cartoons during the haircut. My son is now almost 2 and we had to stop taking him to that place because he got scared of the car/truck if we tried to sit him in it. He screamed like I was really hurting him the entire time. I now found the same woman who did his first haircut there at Cool Cuts at a new place called Ultra Clips on SR54 next to Gymboree. She works part time and in the evenings, but she does such a good job and my son never cries. She has a TV there, too, for him to watch while he sits on my lap. It is much cheaper, too ($12.99). Not sure if Rhonda offers a 1st haircut pkg at this place, but you can call & ask. The phone number there is ###-###-####.

When my son got his first haircut, it was at one of the chains, but they gave us a nice card that said "baby's first haircut" with a clipping of the hair. You might ask around at some of the chains like Great Clips or Fantastic Sam's to see if they have anything like that. It was a nice memento for the baby book. I also have seen ads for a place in South Tampa where the kids sit in airplanes and cars.

There is a place in the New Tampa/Wesley Chapel area that is suppossed to be REALLY good. I wish I could remember the name of it. It's right on Bruce B Downs. They have TV's in there, so the kids can watch their favorite movie while getting their haircut. I've heard nothing but GREAT things about this place. Damn, I wish I could remember the name.

Hi A.,

That's where I take my son, Cool Cuts. He likes it there.

Cool Cuts on Bruce B. Downs (New Tampa/Wesley Chapel). They cater to kids and have a first haircut package.

I like Cool Cuts 4 Kids the best! They cut hair fast,and most important - straight. :-) They also have DVDs and games for kids
to watch and play. For smaller ones they have cars as a seats. I am sure you and your baby will like that.

Definitely the Walt Disney World barber shop. You go to the magic kingdom, it is to the left in the circle before you go down main street. It only costs $12 and includes a certificate and mouse ears that are stitched with the words -first haircut- on them.
