Are you searching for kid-friendly Edmonton hair salons? My kids and I have tried a few over the years, and combined with recommendations from other local moms, I’ve put together this list of the most kid-friendly Edmonton hair salons around the city — from dedicated kids’ studios to family-friendly salons that just happen to be great with little ones.
As a family photographer serving Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and the surrounding area, I always tell my clients to book haircuts about a week before a photo session—that way it has time to settle in. However, it’s still fresh enough to look sharp on camera. Speaking of which, if you’re due for a family session yourself, this is a great time of year to lock one in — check out my fall mini sessions or get in touch to grab a date before they fill up. And if you’d like more Edmonton mom-to-mom recommendations like this one, join my free moms’ group!
Before your appointment, it helps to talk to your kids about what to expect during a haircut, and to be prepared in case your little one resists a first trim — most stylists are understanding when it’s a child’s first time. It’s also worth explaining your contingency plans to your hairstylist ahead of time, and asking about their policy if the haircut doesn’t quite go as planned.
The salons below are compiled from word-of-mouth recommendations as well as Google reviews.
