Cutting Kids’ Hair at Home – Why I Love Being a Mobile Barber in Victoria, BC

One of my favorite things about being a barber is cutting kids’ hair—especially when I get to do multiple haircuts in one visit. Often, I’ll show up for a kid’s haircut, and by the time I’m packing up, I’ve given haircuts to their siblings—and sometimes even Dad too! It turns into a little family haircut session, and honestly, I love it. It’s efficient, it saves time for busy parents, and it’s just a fun way to connect with families.

Why Parents Love At-Home Haircuts

Haircut for the whole family!

If you’ve ever taken a child to a barbershop, you know how unpredictable it can be. Some kids love it, but for others, it’s overwhelming—the waiting, the noise, the unfamiliar space, and let’s not forget the possibility of a full-blown meltdown before the haircut even starts.

That’s why so many families prefer having a mobile barber in Victoria, BC come to them. Instead of packing up the kids, driving across town, and hoping they cooperate, I come to you. No rushing, no waiting rooms, no dealing with post-haircut crankiness in the car. Just fresh haircuts done in the comfort of home, where kids feel safe and parents can relax.

Family Haircuts: One and Done!

One of the best things about mobile barbering is how convenient it is for families. I can cut multiple kids’ hair in one visit—and while I’m there, many dads decide to jump in for a quick cleanup too. Instead of making separate trips to the barbershop, everything gets done at once, in one place. Most full-family appointments take under an hour and a half, and parents love the convenience.

It also makes the experience smoother for kids. When they see their sibling (or Dad!) getting a haircut first, they usually feel a lot more comfortable when it’s their turn.

Helping Kids Who Struggle with Haircuts

Not every child is excited about getting a haircut, and I totally understand that. Some kids don’t like the sound of clippers, some hate the feeling of hair on their skin, and some just don’t like sitting still for too long.

That’s why I always go at their pace. If a child is nervous, I’ll take the time to chat with them before we start, let them touch the clippers to see how they feel, or even do an all-scissors cut if that makes them more comfortable. Sometimes, putting on their favorite show helps too! It’s all about making the experience as easy and stress-free as possible—for both the kids and the parents.

My Background with Kids (And Why It Helps!)

At-Home Kids Haircut

Before I became a barber, I worked in out-of-school care, spending my days with kids of all ages. I loved it. That experience taught me a lot about patience, communication, and how to handle tricky situations with kids who have big feelings (which, let’s be real, is most kids at some point).

Now, as a barber, I bring that same understanding into my work. I’ve had parents tell me they’re shocked at how well their child did during the haircut—especially when past experiences have been stressful. It’s a great feeling to know I’ve helped make something that used to be difficult feel easy.

Building Connections with Families in Victoria

One of the coolest things about mobile barbering is getting to know families in Victoria. I love seeing kids grow up, watching their personalities develop, and chatting with parents about everything from school schedules to the best local parks.

I also appreciate the trust that comes with being invited into someone’s home. It’s something I don’t take lightly. Whether I’m cutting a toddler’s hair for the first time or helping a teenager figure out a cool new style, my goal is always to create a positive experience.
