Designed for anxious first-timers and wiggle-prone kiddos, Be Brave Today introduces the haircut experience in simple language and playful metaphors.
The video shows the same calm, step-by-step flow children will experience in the salon, so kids are prepared in advance. A friendly stylist welcomes the child and helps him choose a chair, then she lightly mists his hair and gently cuts it. Finally, everyone celebrates together.
“Stories make new experiences feel safe,” said Shana Adler, owner of Pigtails & Crewcuts in Teaneck. “When children can see and hear what will happen—on a page or on screen—the salon feels familiar. Our book and video give parents a confident script and give kids permission to be brave.”
The book and video set complement the salon’s sensory-aware practices: warm towels, patient narration, colorful chair options, and small rewards to celebrate progress.
Pigtails encourages families to read the book and watch the video at home, in the car, or right before the appointment. This will help reduce jitters and shorten service time, an advantage for both sensitive kids and busy parents.
What’s included:
- Be Brave Today (Story): A cheerful, read-aloud narrative that addresses common fears and celebrates bravery.
- Companion Video: The three-minute video walks the family through the real-world sequence that kids will experience at the salon.
- Parent Tips: A 5-step plan to practice at home, including choosing the best time, packing comfort items, and praising courage.
