What makes a great kids haircut
A kids haircut is judged on the experience as much as the result. The barber works at the child's pace, explains the clippers before switching them on, and stops when a four-year-old needs a break.
Technically it is a full haircut - consultation, clipper and scissor work, a clean neckline - just done in shorter bursts and with a lot more talking.
Bring a reference photo. Kids are far better at pointing at a picture than describing what they want.
What to ask for
- Say whether it is a first haircut so the barber can pace it.
- Bring a photo of the cut your kid wants.
- Book earlier in the day when the shop is quieter and the chair is calmer.
Every four to six weeks for school-age kids.
Getting there from Royal Oak
From downtown Royal Oak, head south on Woodward Avenue. We're on the east side between 9 Mile and 10 Mile, directly across from Western Market — five minutes from Main Street, eight minutes from the Detroit Zoo, and ten minutes from Beaumont Hospital.
There is no Detroit Barbers shop inside Royal Oak. The Ferndale shop is the closest one, and it is the chair Royal Oak clients book for a kids haircut. The shop runs Tuesday to Sunday and is closed Mondays. Weekday mornings right after opening are the quietest window for a walk-in; Saturdays fill first, so book ahead if the weekend is your only option.
