Whelll.. this escalated quickly.
We don’t want to alarm you, but just a gentle heads up that Dec only has a handful of appointments still available 😬☺️
In fact, the remainder of 2026 is looking a little snug, so if you want to get Sexy for Santa, we recommend jumping online or shooting us a dm and reserving your next appointment sooner rather than later!
Can’t find a date that suits? Let us know your preferred availability- we will try our best to work some Xmas magic 💚

Did your little one love meeting Mr. Pickles during their visit to Sien Hair?
Mr. Pickles has been told that there are quite a few little people out there who are still talking about him… and he’d LOVE to say hello!

And just in case your little one was one of the Mr. Pickles fans who mentioned it to us and we’ve accidentally forgotten… please give us a little reminder! 🦎💬

Holding a child while they’re getting a haircut isn’t always traumatic. In fact, sometimes it can be incredibly comforting, especially for sensory seeking legends.
What matters is why they’re being held, who is supporting them, and whether they’re still being listened to.
Our little master J had complete autonomy throughout his haircut. We followed his lead the entire time, paying attention to the subtle cues he gave us like making a sound, moving his head away from me, or shifting his position.
Previously, haircuts had been incredibly traumatic and painful, yet when he visited me he was calm and even seemed to enjoy much of the process!
To help support this and keep him feeling regulated..
💛 We changed positions whenever he needed.
💛 We took breaks.
💛 We counted to 5 while I was cutting every section so he knew exactly when I was starting… and exactly when I would stop.
💛 We kept the haircut predictable.
💛We made sure to keep dusting the fallen hair away from his skin and clothes after each snip.
💛 We used movement to help regulate (yes… including a giant banana 🍌😂).
There was no rushing. No “just get it done.” No expectation for him to sit perfectly still.
Just communication, trust, flexibility and meeting him where he was.
The result was a successful haircut, a regulated child, and a family who know that their precious boy left feeling seen instead of judged.
This is what sensory-safe hairdressing looks like.
I’d love to know… is this how you imagined children’s haircuts to look like? 👇
One of the biggest misconceptions about children is that if something worked once, it should work every time.
But kids don’t work like that.
And neither do sensory needs.
A child who sat beautifully for a haircut last month might struggle today.
A child who found clippers funny last visit might find them overwhelming this time.
A child who happily wore a cape yesterday might refuse it completely next week.
And that’s okay.
This was Freddy’s third visit to Sien Hair.
His first visit was challenging.
His second visit had me outside laying on the concrete and following him around as he watered my car tyres.
And this week, with the support of his Baba, Dad, and a flexible approach, we achieved his most successful haircut yet.
Not because we expected him to adapt to the salon.
Because we adapted to him.
Sometimes sensory-safe haircuts look like sitting still.
Sometimes they look like cartoons, sing-along, movement breaks, changing positions, family support, and a hairdresser willing to think outside the box.
Progress isn’t perfection.
Progress is feeling safe enough to come back.
