Children’s haircuts are the stuff that Saturday evening aggravation is made of. Cut your child’s hair at home yourself and you will likely be accused of purposefully ruining their good looks by said youngster. Take your child to the hair salon and not only will you sometimes have to wait for extraordinary long periods of time, but in some cases the stylists are not even sure how to cut a child’s hair other than the generic kids’ cut from yesteryear. What is a parent to do?
Well, if the parent lives in the Circle City known as Indianapolis, she or he will find a plethora of great salons that actually cater to the pint sized clientele! Here is a guide to the top 5 Indianapolis children’s hair stylists.
