Free Printable Haircut Visit Plan

2 pages · 9 steps, before we go, what helps, a card for the barber, a plan if it is too much

A haircut in nine steps to check off, a "Before we go" list, what helps your child, a small "My child may..." card for the barber or stylist and a plan if it is too much.

What you type and the pictures you add stay on your phone.

How to use it
  1. A few days before, go through the nine steps together and look at each picture. Do the "Before we go" list.
  2. Check what helps your child. Fill in the card, cut it out and hand it to the barber or stylist when you get there.
  3. On the day, check each step when it is done. If it gets to be too much, pick something from "If it's too much, we can...".

Why it helps

A haircut can be a lot: the cape, the spray, the sound of clippers, and someone close to your child's head. Seeing each step ahead of time, and having a plan if it is too much, helps your child know what comes next.
