My 30-month old hates haircut all the sudden! He scream & cried so badly that the hairdresser dun even dare to touch his hair. We tried all ways, coax & talk to him. It's weird that he used to walk into saloon himself but hates it suddenly. How do u tackle this? Bite the bullet & force him or..? Thanks!!

it must be hard for you as parents. I used to show my toddler, a YouTube video on how other children around his age, cut hair at salon. He used to cry so loud till the owner asked me to find another salon. After watching, my toddler didn't cry but only showed the uncomfort face. So I guess you can try preparing your toddler again on the haircut though he knew. Another, could it also be a change of hairdresser for him? He might be used to particular people and a chance will trigger uncomfortable thoughts.

No, we brought him to the same hairdresser. Even the hairdresser was surprised that he hates hair-cutting all the sudden. The hairdresser just told us to come back another day. =( I tired bribes & I-pad etc., he just refused to have his hair cut now.... H

Hi, This sudden change phenomena is happenning to me. My naughty boy turning 3yo in two weeks time, suddenly refused hair wash & hair cut. By the way, I am giving my home professional hair cut. If go hairstylist, it will be worse. I believe it is due to a phase. As hair wash is important, I will use "force" and let him cry a while. For hair cut, no choice.. Wait till the phase is over. Haha

maybe you can try a different hairdresser or those that specialises in kids haircut.

Thank you!
