Sensory 1:1 & ‘Quiet Time’

Quiet Barber Appointments for Children

Our Sensory & Quiet Time Appointments are designed for children and young people (or adults!) who may find a busy barbershop overwhelming and would benefit from a quieter, calmer environment.

During these appointments, the shop is closed to the public, creating a one-to-one, child-led environment where we work at the child’s pace.

We’re a family-run barbershop, which means you’re not just another number in a chair. People come to us for the haircut, but they come back for the atmosphere.

Our goal is not just the haircut, it’s building trust over time.

Who These Appointments Are For

These appointments can help children who:
• Have sensory sensitivities
• Feel anxious about haircuts
• Have had a difficult past haircut experience
• Prefer quieter environments
• Need more time and patience
• Are neurodivergent or require additional support

How It Works

• 1:1 appointment
• Shop closed to public
• 30 minute slot
• Child-led / (parent/person led) approach
• We work at their pace
• No pressure to complete haircut if child is not ready

Why Choose Us

Our goal is not just the haircut, it’s building trust over time.

Absolutely amazing place to take your son, most lovely girls and the best hair cut for my boy so patient with him and so focused on me and him and what was making us happy so easy to talk to and showered him with toys and stickers he was made up and he’s only 9 months 10/10

We have been coming here for a few months now and my son has gone from upset and scared to loving his time getting his haircut! The sensory sessions are perfect as it’s quiet the toy selection is lovely as well as all the lights and telly etc. they recommended frequent hair cuts to get my son used to the sensation and we’ve gone from only using scissors to progressing to using the clippers in a matter of a few sessions. Thank you so much for your kindness patience and compassion you show towards not only all children but children with needs. ❤️❤️❤️

We’ve been every 6 weeks to see Shelby for our sons sensory haircut and the progress our son had made is incredible! Shelby has incredible patience, the selection of toys caters for all, routine is key as we see her every 5-6 weeks. Wouldn’t go to anyone else. Thank you!

Started getting mine and my 2 year old sons haircut a few months back, service we have received every time has been excellent, couldn’t fault them. My son loves the haircut car and Shelbie is so patient and kind with him. Highly recommend!

The best barbers for sensitive kids! Shell and Shelbie are both amazing with kids, I’d never take my boys anywhere else now. My little one struggled so much with hair cuts, kicking and screaming the entire time (even then we weren’t made to feel bad or guilty, they persevered and managed to cut his hair!), but we avoided haircuts until they were absolutely necessary. We started sensory cuts 10 months ago, and have been going every month, and now he happily sits in the chair and has his hair cut with clippers. Having the whole space to ourselves, the routine and familiarity is massive to help him feel safe and comfortable and nothing is ever too much and you never feel rushed. Not to mention the effort that is put in to make the shop look fun and inviting for little ones with toys, books, sensory lights, Netflix and Lightening McQueen to sit in! Thank you for turning a stressful and sometimes traumatic experience into something that is looked forward to and enjoyed ☺️☺️☺️

I've been going to Just for Men for many years .The staff are extremely helpful and take pride in their work. They look after their clients and are super friendly.

Nothing is too much trouble and they have a lovely relationship with young children and even provide distractions for children who maybe anxious or have anxiety issues or autism.

When I've been in the barbers the children appear happy to be playing on the consoles or watching a video.

The owner is very accomadating and will always have a lovely smile for you

Keep up the great work . Will be returning very soon
