Haircuts for kids have come a long way since barbers trimmed locks around a metal bowl. However, getting a toddler to sit still is another matter. The solution seems to be solved by the new wave of child friendly hairdressers. Whether your kids love being pampered, hate having their hair cut or are just a little shy of going to the hairdressers, we have the right solution at our children's designed hair salon.
They don't have to sit in a chair, if they prefer to stand, sit on the floor or sit on your lap they can. We believe that everyone is unique and that your experience within the salon should be the same. We often have parents contact us for advise, so we have added this section to give you a bit of an insight to our approach.
I am the proud owner of EK Hair, I started the business in 2013. I have always loved hairdressing even from the age of 16, I won my first award at 17. I love helping people in any way i can, from raising money to staying on later to see a special client. I ran the Bristol 10K for The Grand Appeal and trekked the Great Wall of China Trek to raise funds for Diabetes UK.
My son has been coming to EK Hair for 5 years, the staff are incredible at accommodating his special needs. From using BSL (British Sign Language) with him to ensuring his routine is kept, he feels happy and content throughout what elsewhere would be a very daunting time. EK Hair do a fantastic job at meeting so many different needs to make their business as inclusive as possible.
Bath time can be a struggle for some little ones, we often have parents asking us for advice. We suggest lying the child on their back so that all the water runs away from their face. Use a small container or shower hose to limit the water flow onto their head. You can also give them a towel to hold over their eyes!

My 2yrs old son enjoyed himself sitting in the airplane & watching Thomas while Nessa (the elf) was cutting his hair! He keeps telling me now he’s hair is long & Elfi needs to cut it!

Brilliant place for children's haircuts. There is videos for them to watch to keep them sitting still, fun seats which my son really enjoyed as he could ring the bell. Chloe was great at talking through what I wanted done with his hair and taking a bit more off when asked as I wanted to do it in stages!

Chloe has been cutting my son’s hair for years and always does a brilliant job. She has turned the experience of hairdressing from traumatic to joyful for us. Today, she did a brilliant of restyling my hair and I am so happy with it. The whole team are always so welcoming, patient and kind.

My little girl has additional needs & the mother of her hair stylist used to work @ her nursery so knows how to communicate with her & how she reacts in certain situations. This place is amazing & I will always take my little ones here for as long as it’s open.

I just had my 2.5 year old sons hair cut with Nessa. It was our first time visiting Ek Hair and I'll definitely be a repeat customer!
Everyone there was super friendly and made so much effort to engage with my… son. They have a big selection of DVDs that he could choose from, toys that distracted him from his haircut and he loved ringing the bell in the fire engine.
Other places we've had his haircut try to work through his fidgeting and discomfort but Nessa did everything in her power to make him comfortable and make sure that he was okay with having his hair done. I'm so grateful!

I am sooooo happy with my sons hair cut experience today. Nessa is incredible, professional, patience of a saint, I could of cried of happiness after the hair cut . My son won’t even let anyone brush his hair let alone cut it . After a few horrendous experiences else where , it was a dream . Nessa brushed and cut my sons hair no tears at all,… infact he was smiling and laughing throughout. Nessa was so engaging with Freddy , Freddy trusted her completely on just the first meeting . She took her time to make him feel comfortable , I didn’t feel rushed . The whole experience was

My little lad had his hair cut by Nessa today, it was the first time we have been and we are super impressed. Nessa was amazing with him and explained what was happening all the way through. We had the stick man dvd playing and his own little aeroplane seat ending with a biscuit treat! Thank you ✂️

My daughter had her hair cut for the little princess trust. She was made to feel at ease and Chloe was amazing talking us through what was happening. Lovely chairs and great the kids can watch films at the same time. Her hair looked amazing will be going back. Emily was very happy with her biscuit at the end.

A hair salon of choice for myself and my young daughters. Over the years Chloe and Nessa have dealt with all sorts of tricky situations with my girls and were fantastic making me feel at ease (I suffer with anxiety). A warm welcoming place. 5*

Nessa at EK hair is something special, always got a smile and she is so good with the kids. Haircuts are always quick and painless, I am more than happy to spend a little extra and get the whole experience
My daughter always looks forward to her haircuts. She chooses her favourite DVD and which vehicle she wants to sit in, the biscuit at the end is a great gesture. Thanks!

We are so impressed with EK Hair. All the staff there were welcoming and friendly. The shop set up is perfect for children, especially our Autistic Son. Who until now taking for a hair cut was a stress inducing nightmare for him as well as us.
First off, Nessa the stylist who cut Reggie's hair was so patient and professional, she addressed Reggie with such a calm and beautiful manner it put Reggie and us at ease right away.
Nessa followed him around, reassuring him and letting him explore. She has worked wonders with him, there was no meltdowns or bursts of anger which Reggie has had with other

I highly recommend E K Hair! Nessa was the lovely lady who cut my sons hair, she was patient, kind and done a fantastic job with my little boys hair.
The place itself was very clean and welcoming, fun little seats for the little ones to sit in, televisions to keep them entertained and a little biscuit as a treat at the end.
It was a perfect first hair cut experience for me
my partner and my son!

Travelled to Bristol to get my sons hair cut especially by Ek. Throughly disappointed, not happy at all. My son had beautiful hair with curls, I asked the lady to keep the curls but just to shorten it slightly but keep the shape. Trying to keep my son still, didn’t notice that she had cut all my sons curls off and make it really really short. He had a side fringe and she had cut it out at all different lengths. His whole hair is at different lengths. It’s upsetting looking at my sons hair. He will now never get his curls back as he’s 16 months old. Extremely unhappy. We will not be returning
