A bit nervous is fine.
Parents write the reviews here as often as anyone. A two-year-old who was a bit scared, a shy lad who doesn’t say much, a son whose family won’t choose anywhere else: what they describe is barbers who take their time with children.
“they made him feel at ease and did a really neat job of his hair.”
What people come in for
Kids' haircuts, taper and skin fades, men's cuts and beard trims. Parents say the barbers are patient with little ones and shy ones, and grown-ups say they're walked through the cut before it starts.

Four quick questions, then a little book to read together before the visit: the chair, the cape, the spray, the snips and the clippers’ hum, which you can play for them first. At the end, what to say when you ring the shop.
