There are few parenting milestones more terrifying than the first haircut.

Will he sit still?
Will he scream?
Will the curls survive?

One local mom recently asked for recommendations for trimming her little guy’s curls — and the community delivered.

Here’s who locals trust when it comes to tiny clients and big emotions:

Jimmy’s Barber Shop (Brunswick)

This name came up again and again — specifically Rebecca Kimes Howard (Becca) and Carly.

Multiple parents said Becca is patient, gentle, and “the only person my son will let cut his hair.”
Another grandparent shared that both grandsons have been going to her since their very first haircut.

That’s about as strong a toddler endorsement as you’ll find.

Studio 17 South Salon & Boutique

A direct invite from the team themselves — offering to help with that milestone trim. Always a good sign when a salon is confident with little ones.

Wyatt’s Barber Shop

Wyatt was praised as “amazing with kids and so patient.”
Patience is the currency of toddler haircuts.

Suite Styles (Candler Dr., Exit 29)

Another local mention for families near Exit 29 looking for a comfortable, low-stress option.

Supercuts (Mrs. Sandra)

Specifically called out for being great with children — proof that sometimes the reliable, familiar spots can shine with little clients.

Strands by Jeanie

Another local recommendation added to the list.

What Parents Seem to Value Most

• Patience
• Listening to what the parent wants
• Someone who understands toddler unpredictability
• A calm environment

And maybe… someone who respects the sacred curls.

If you’re preparing for that first snip, you’re clearly not alone.
