Kids’ haircuts in Trondheim

Getting children to sit still in the barber’s chair can feel like a challenge, but at Edge Barbershop in Trondheim, we turn the entire experience into something safe, fun, and efficient—for both kids and parents. A kid’s haircut isn’t just about the right length or a trendy style; it’s about meeting the child at their level, showing patience, and creating a positive experience around the visit. We offer kids’s haircuts in Trondheim with a strong focus on quality, safety, and efficiency—and most importantly, lots of smiles.

How do we make children feel safe in the barber’s chair?

For many children, a visit to the barber can be both exciting and a little scary. Unfamiliar sounds from clippers, a new chair, the scent of hair products, and the idea of someone “fixing” their hair can all create uncertainty. At Edge Barbershop, we take these feelings seriously. Our barbers have experience working with kids of all ages and know how to create a calm and positive atmosphere from the very first moment.

It starts with a warm welcome at the door. Children are greeted with a smile and are often invited to choose where they want to sit if that helps them feel more in control. We talk directly to the child and explain what’s happening in simple, friendly language. If a child is nervous about clippers, we adjust and use scissors more—or vice versa. The most important thing is that the child feels seen and heard.

Some kids may need a short break during the haircut, while others enjoy watching themselves in the mirror as the haircut takes shape. This flexibility is what makes Edge Barbershop a trusted choice for kids’ haircuts in Trondheim.

How long does a kid’s haircut take – and what does it cost?

Every child is different, and age and temperament play a big role in how long a haircut takes. Some children sit still and follow along, while others need a bit more time and encouragement. Our barbers adapt to the child’s pace without compromising on quality.

Most kids’ haircuts take between 20 and 30 minutes. Sometimes it goes faster; other times we allow a few extra minutes to make sure the child feels comfortable throughout the visit.

We offer fair and competitive pricing:

Haircut for youth (13-17)	619,-

Haircuts that suit active kids

Kids are constantly on the move, which is why we focus on hairstyles that don’t just look good—but also hold up during play and activity. A good children’s haircut should be low-maintenance while still giving the child a cool, confident look.

Short sides with a bit of length on top are a popular choice for many families. This makes hair easier to manage after showers and helps it fall naturally into place throughout the day. Others prefer more volume, such as textured styles that follow the child’s natural hair growth.

Haircuts for active kids

Mullet-inspired styles and side-part cuts have also become popular among kids who like a more distinctive look. We always balance the wishes of both parents and children and provide recommendations based on hair type and face shape.

Since we also offer men’s haircuts, many families enjoy booking father-and-son appointments, where both get a fresh style while spending quality time together.

How to Prepare Your Child for a Haircut

Parents play an important role in preparing children for a barber visit—especially if it’s the child’s first haircut or if previous experiences haven’t been great. A good approach is to talk positively about the visit a few days in advance. Explain what will happen and reassure them that it’s safe and enjoyable.

If your child has a favourite toy, book, or game, they’re welcome to bring it along. Showing pictures of hairstyles they can choose from can also help. Children who feel involved in the process are often more patient, engaged, and happy with the result.

We also encourage questions from both children and parents. If your child has specific needs or preferences, let us know in advance so we can tailor the visit accordingly.
