A Girls - Wash & Cut (Under 10) appointment at Timba pairs a gentle shampoo with a haircut suited to younger hair, finished with a light dry. It's designed for girls up to age 10 who need a fresh, practical style for school and play, delivered in a relaxed, child-friendly way in around 30 minutes.

More information

What's Included

Each appointment follows a simple, reassuring routine:

  • A quick consultation with parent and child to talk through length, fringe, layers and overall style
  • A gentle wash and light conditioning to cleanse the hair and scalp and make it easier to comb
  • Detangling and sectioning, with extra care and time if hair is curly, coily or particularly thick
  • A cut shaped to the agreed style, trimming ends, tidying a fringe or removing bulk as needed
  • A rough dry or quick-dry finish, with fuller blow-dry styling available separately if wanted

Our team, including Senior Stylists Katie Williams, Lucy Osborne, Emma Stokes and Hannah James, along with stylist Chloe Phillips under the guidance of Creative Director Geraint Osborne, take a patient, child-friendly approach throughout, explaining each step and adjusting water temperature and handling to keep young clients comfortable.

Who It Suits

This service is aimed squarely at girls under 10, sitting within Timba's wider children's price list.

  • Ideal for regular trims that keep a style neat between visits
  • Suited to parents wanting a low-maintenance cut that's easy to brush, tie back or clip for school and sport
  • A good option if hair simply needs a wash and tidy rather than a full restyle
  • Ask about a blow-dry add-on if a fuller finished look is wanted for a special occasion

What To Expect At Cardiff

Booking in Cardiff, it's worth thinking ahead about what will help the appointment run smoothly.

  • Have a rough idea of the style beforehand, whether that's keeping length but neatening ends, adding a fringe, or going shorter and more practical
  • Mention any sensitivities, such as a dislike of water on the face or previous nervousness at the salon, so the stylist can adapt
  • Choose a time when your child is likely to be rested, since the appointment moves at a steady but efficient pace
  • Ask about product choices if you prefer mild or child-friendly formulas

Aftercare

A little care between visits helps the cut stay looking its best.

  • Brush gently from the ends upward to avoid pulling or breakage
  • Use a suitable shampoo and conditioner for your child's hair type
  • Tie hair back for school or sports to keep it tidy and out of the way
  • Book a trim every few months, depending on how quickly your child's hair grows, to keep split ends under control
