What steps do you take to ensure children feel comfortable and safe during their haircut?
We know that a child’s haircut can be a daunting experience, especially for first-timers. That’s why we’ve designed everything—from our salon layout to our stylist training—to make children feel safe and excited. Our stylists are trained to connect with kids, using techniques that keep them calm and engaged. We also provide distractions like books, toys, and TV shows to make the experience enjoyable and memorable. Parents often tell us it’s the most stress-free haircut their child has ever had.
How do you make haircuts a fun and memorable experience for kids and parents?
We believe a haircut is more than just a service—it’s an experience! From themed chairs to friendly conversations, we ensure kids leave with smiles as big as their new styles. Parents love the little details we add, like special photo opportunities or celebratory certificates. We’ve even had kids ask to return just because they had so much fun!
Can I book additional services like nail care at your salons?

What inspired you to create Bertie and Belle?
Bertie and Belle was born from a love of making everyday moments special. As parents ourselves, we saw a gap in the market for a salon that truly catered to children—not just in service but in experience. We wanted to create a space where kids feel excited to visit, parents feel at ease, and everyone leaves happy. That mission has driven everything we do, from how we design our spaces to how we train our team.
