Does haircut day end in meltdowns before you've even left the house? Does your child panic the moment they hear the clippers? Refuse to walk through the salon door?
You're not alone and it's not defiance. For children with sensory differences, autism or ADHD, haircuts can feel genuinely overwhelming. The sounds, the unexpected touch, the loss of control, it's not a behaviour problem. It's a nervous system that needs a different approach.
This 45 page OT designed guide gives you the understanding and the strategies to change how haircut day feels for your whole family.
What's inside:
- Why haircuts feel so hard and the sensory and emotional reasons behind the distress
- How to identify your child's specific triggers
- A step by step home desensitisation program
- Sensory diet activities to use before the appointment
- What to bring, how to prepare, and what to say
- How to read early signs of overwhelm and respond before it escalates
- A hairdresser guide you can print and hand directly to your salon
- Haircut day checklist and 7 sensory systems reference guide
This guide is for you if: Your child struggles with haircuts and you're tired of just pushing through. Whether your child has a diagnosis or you simply know something feels different, this guide meets you where you are.
