Girls - Cut and Blowdry (Under 10)

£36–£60
45 mins

A girls' cut and blowdry (under 10) at Timba is a child-friendly hair service designed to keep young hair neat, healthy and easy to manage. It suits girls who need a simple trim or reshape along with a smooth, everyday blowdry finish, and appointments are kept calm and comfortable for younger clients.

More information

What's Included

The service is built around a short, straightforward routine:

  • A brief consultation with parent and child to talk through length, fringe preference and any tangling or scalp concerns
  • A wash and condition to remove product build-up and make the hair easier to cut accurately
  • A tidy or reshaping cut, such as tidying split ends, maintaining length, or a simple one-length cut or soft layers
  • A blowdry finish using gentle heat and brush work to leave hair smooth and tangle-free

The whole appointment typically takes around 45 minutes, though this can vary slightly with hair length and thickness.

Who It Suits

This service is aimed at girls up to around ten years old who need routine haircare rather than an elaborate style. It works well for:

  • Children due a regular trim to keep ends healthy
  • Girls with longer hair who want to keep length while tidying the shape
  • Families who prefer a calm, patient approach to children's haircuts

At Timba, the team, including senior stylists such as Katie Williams, Lucy Osborne, Emma Stokes and Hannah James, alongside stylists Evie Collins and Chloe Phillips under Creative Director Geraint Osborne, are used to working with younger clients and adjusting their approach to suit each child's comfort.

Things to Consider

A few points are worth discussing at booking:

  • Whether you'd prefer a full wash, cut and blowdry or a quicker dry cut with a light finish
  • Any preference for lower heat during blowdrying, particularly for finer or more delicate hair
  • Whether your child has curly or textured hair, so the stylist can plan the right cutting and drying approach
  • Booking a trim every 8 to 12 weeks to maintain the style and keep ends in good condition

Aftercare

Simple aftercare helps keep the results looking good between visits:

  • Brush gently from the ends upward using a wide-tooth comb or soft brush
  • Use a light detangling spray on longer hair to ease knots
  • Limit heat styling at home to protect the hair's condition
