If the promise of a lollipop isn't enough to keep your child from kicking and screaming in the barber's chair, maybe it's time to find a kid-friendly hair salon. Filled with toys and staffed with professionals who are used to wriggly rugrats, these kid hair salons make a hair cut a delight for parents as well as children. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Go online and visit the websites of national kid hair salons to see if there is a franchise near you.

2
Ask friends where they take their children for haircuts. Even if they don't have a national franchise, many cities have local kid hair salon chains--you can find out if yours does through word of mouth or by searching online.

Look at small, locally owned salons as well as kid-specific salons. Many basic barber shops have toys in the waiting room or supply a portable DVD player or Gameboy to children getting their hair cut. A salon chair that looks like a little race car is a plus, but a gripping movie or game is what really matters when you want your child to keep his head still.

Make your local hair salon kid-friendly by bringing your own stash of toys for the waiting room, a movie or game for your child to play with during the appointment, and stickers or lollipops for afterwards. A brightly colored kid hair salon is probably best choice, but if no kid hair salons are nearby or you don't like the way they cut hair, you can bring the principles of these franchises just about anywhere.
