done. Fresh hair. Happy kid. Back to whatever's next.

We love
real hair.

Curls. Fades. Fringes. Bobs. Long, short, straight, textured and everything in between.

Their hair.
Their style.

They bring the personality. We'll handle the hair. Parents get a say too. Mostly.

why we exist

Children's hair salons built entirely around kids.

Kids aren't small adults.

So why get their hair cut in a salon designed for grown ups?

Shortcuts started with a simple idea: build the whole thing around kids instead.

Car chairs. PlayStations. Stylists who really know kids' hair. An environment where being a kid is kind of the point.

Really good haircuts. Made for kids.

We've been around the block.

Shortcuts started in Milton Keynes and grew from there.

Since then, we've opened salons across the UK, worked with Mothercare, been recognised by No.10 as an inspirational British start up and represented the British Business Bank.

Not bad for a business built around tiny cars and hair clippings.

Their hair. Their style.

First trims. Big chops. Curls. Fades. Fringes. Bobs. And everything in between.

Some know exactly what they want. Some couldn't care less. Some are just happy there's a steering wheel or PlayStation in front of them.

Your Child. Their Style. Our Passion
