Haircuts for Teens & Preteens
March 2008
We're looking for a salon that is a little more ''grown-up''
than Snippety Crickets. Prefer a salon/haircutter in
Berkeley/Albany/El Cerrito, or north of Grand Avenue in Oakand.

I recommend Supercuts on Solano. My 8 year old loves them. To get the best
cut pay to have your daughter's hair washed and let HER talk to them about
what she wants. The two of you need to agree at home, but let her direct
the interaction.
My daughter and I love the results of THIS particular Supercuts.
Grown Up Decisions
My hairdresser cuts my son's hair (he is 8) and is great with people of all
ages. It's not a kid's salon, so this would satisfy the grown-up aspect
and she charges a lot less for kids than for adults. She is a very honest
person and doesn't feel right charging the same for kids, she has told me.
I think any girl of 11 would also like her a lot. Her name is Ari at 17
Jewels Salon which is at 47th on Telegraph in North Oakland. 653-1059

Where can a 13-year-old boy go to get a hip haircut? He is
trying to move on from the ''little boy'' cut he has had for
years, and needs some advice and style (but not too frou-frou).
Berkeley area preferred.

i would take your son to rory at cowboys and angels, downtown
s.f. right by powell BART, (415) 362-8516. She does the most
stylish cuts in the city--not suburban in any way--for teens
and adults. not only does she do a fabulous job with my hair,
she cuts my friend's son's hair, too--he's the 13-year-old son
of a tattoo artist and in his own junior high rock band, so if
she can make him look like--well, a rock star--i'm sure she
could do the same for your son. the cuts are pricey but worth
it!
you wear your hair every day!
I highly recommend Sara Wielandt at Alexander Pope. Although
thesalon is a bit pricey, they do a great job. I recommend Sara
very highly, she is especially talented, both with women's and
men's cuts -- she is also very style-consious and good at coming
up with the right look to fit a person.
My daughter was facing a similar problem and we found the
answer at Festoon on MLK by Mr Mopps toy store. We chose to go
with one of the less expensive trainees and got a great cut
with tons of attention for about $30 plus a tip. They are
super hip there and your son will surely find what he is
looking for.

You son wil get a FABULOUS haircut at Maru Hair Salon in Bkly,
with Kipp Hamilton. My kids LOVE going to Kipp. Kipp is young
(ish) and very stylish. He knows what looks good and what's cool
but will also style hair to match the persons face and features.
Salon number is 549-3610. Have fun

I took my 13 year old to Peter Thomas
on Shattuck Ave. for his first
''hip'' haircut. My
friend works with hair salons in the Bay Area and highly recommended this
salon for
more hip styles. My son and I werer both very pleased with his new style.
I have
forgotten the stylists name (female) but the front desk person will be
more than happy
to steer you in the right direction. Many of the stylists there are very
hip themselves!

You MUST take your son to John at Peter Thomas. He is not only a great
sylist, but also
very hip. I took my 13 year old son to him and he still talks about how
cool John is. I
really think he has a great way of dealing with people and is especially
good with
teenage kids. In fact he has a teenage daughter himself. Be warned, for
those more
conservative individuals, he is very outgoing, covered with tattoos, but a
great guy.
