What happens during a kids’ appointment?

A kids’ appointment takes about an hour at the Montreal studio. You stay beside your child from start to finish. Bianca detangles with water and conditioner, section by section, without pulling. She takes breaks whenever your child needs one and goes at their pace.

We start by looking at the hair together and talking about what you’d like. Bianca explains each step to your child before doing it. Nothing is forced: if a step makes your child nervous, it can wait for another day.

What’s the best haircut for a child with curly hair?

For a child with curly hair, the cut keeps the natural shape of the curls. Bianca evens out the ends, removes any damage and frames the face, without taking off any more length than needed. At Boucles Addict Studio, girls and boys get the same attention, and no one is pushed into a cut they don’t want.

A child’s curls are often finer and more fragile than an adult’s. The cut is done curl by curl, with scissors, to respect the spring of every section. To learn more, see how we cut curly hair.

How much is a kids’ haircut in Montreal?

A kids’ haircut starts at $50 at Boucles Addict Studio in Montreal. The price depends on length, volume and how much detangling is needed. The appointment takes about an hour. We confirm the exact price with you before we start.

How do I detangle my child’s coily hair without pain?

Always detangle wet hair coated in conditioner, section by section. Start with your fingers, then use a wide-tooth comb, working from the ends up to the roots. Hold each section close to the root: your child won’t feel the tug.

For parents: the routine in 4 steps

  1. Wash with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo.
  2. Detangle with conditioner in, in small sections.
  3. Moisturize with a light leave-in.
  4. Protect at night with a satin bonnet or pillowcase.

You’ll find every detail in our at-home moisture routine.

How often should I wash my child’s curly hair?

For coily hair, a wash every week or every two weeks is enough. Looser curls can handle washing a little more often. Between washes, simply refresh with a bit of water and a light leave-in, no shampoo needed.

What products are safe for kids’ curly hair?

For kids, choose gentle, lightweight products: a sulfate-free shampoo, a rich conditioner for detangling and a leave-in. Avoid heavy products that weigh down fine curls. At the studio, Bianca can recommend what suits your child’s texture.

The right brands depend on your child’s hair. That’s exactly what Bianca walks you through during a consultation or a coaching session.

How do I style my daughter’s coily hair every day?

Day to day, simple protective styles are the gentlest: twists, flat twists, a low bun or two puffs. They limit handling and lock in moisture. At night, a satin bonnet keeps the style going for several days. Bianca can also put in twists at the studio.

Can my child get curl definition or twists?

Yes, curl definition and twists are available for kids on request. The price depends on the length and volume of their hair. The easiest way is to write to Bianca or book a consultation: she will suggest what works best for your child.

My child is scared of the salon. What can I do?

Lots of kids are scared of the salon, often after a painful detangling session. Come by to see the studio first, bring a toy or a book and book a morning slot. A short first appointment, with you right beside them, helps your child feel confident again.

Does a child’s hair texture change as they grow?

Yes, a child’s hair texture often changes until the teen years. Curls can tighten, loosen or thicken. That’s why Bianca looks closely at the hair at every visit and adapts the cut and advice, instead of repeating the same routine.
