Cutting a baby’s hair for the first time is a milestone that many parents want to get right. Singapore has a healthy roster of specialist kids’ salons, family‑friendly chains and even traditional services that do newborn head‑shaves with care. Below are the salons parents trust most in 2025 — selected for safety, staff experience with infants, comfortable kid stations and consistently good reviews.
1. BabySPA — specialist for newborns & baby‑first haircuts
Why it’s great: BabySPA specialises in newborn and infant services (baby massage, swim and baby haircut). Their staff are trained to handle tiny, nervous clients gently; many parents prefer BabySPA for first‑haircut ceremonies because staff know how to soothe babies and create keepsakes (locks, brushes). BabySPA also offers home‑visit haircut options at some outlets.

Handy tips for baby haircuts in Singapore
- Book ahead for weekend slots (popular salons fill fast).
- Bring a familiar toy or blanket and consider a short nap before the appointment.
- Ask whether the salon can do a keepsake (small lock in a bag) if it’s your baby’s first haircut — many specialist places will provide one.
- If you prefer not to travel with a fussy infant, some salons (BabySPA, Huaxia Taimaobi) and independent stylists offer home visits.
These salons represent a mix of specialist newborn services, family‑friendly chains and boutique kids’ parlours that have built reputations for gentle handling, hygienic tools and patient stylists. Whether it’s your baby’s first snip or a tidy up for a toddler who won’t sit still, you’ll find an option close by — from HarbourFront to Katong.
