Your First Haircut: What to Expect and Why It's Okay to Be Nervous

AUTHOR Smith, James
PUBLISHER SL Editions (04/04/2025)
PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)

Description

Facing something new can be exciting-and a little scary too. For many children, getting a haircut for the first time is filled with unknowns: unfamiliar places, strange sounds, and the sensation of someone snipping near their head. This gentle, honest picture book helps children navigate the experience with confidence, curiosity, and calm.

Told through warm, reassuring language and accompanied by soft, expressive illustrations, the story walks young readers through each step of what they might encounter at a salon or barbershop. From talking with a grown-up before the big day to hearing the snip-snip of scissors or the gentle buzz of clippers, every moment is shown with care and empathy. Children are reminded that it's okay to feel unsure-and that they can ask questions, bring a comfort item, or even giggle when hair tickles their nose.

Ideal for parents, teachers, and caregivers who want to prepare a child for their first haircut, this story emphasizes emotional awareness and self-assurance. It's a thoughtful tool for building resilience during everyday milestones. Whether read aloud at home or in a classroom, it creates a safe space to talk about feelings, foster bravery, and make the unfamiliar a little more familiar.
