A Dry Cut for under 16s is a simple, practical haircut done on dry hair, ideal for keeping shape, fringes and ends looking neat between washes. It is a great option for busy school weeks, sports clubs and fast growing hair, with a clear plan for what will suit their face shape and how they actually wear their hair day to day.

Dry Cut for Under 16s, what’s included

- Simple advice on how to keep it looking neat until the next trim.
A good choice for school weeks, sports and fast growing hair
Dry cuts work well when the goal is a clean up rather than a full restyle, for example keeping a fringe in check, taking weight out, or sharpening the outline. If your teen wears their hair up a lot, or needs it to behave under a hood or helmet, a dry cut keeps things looking tidy without fuss.
How the 30 minute dry cut appointment runs
We start with a quick chat to confirm the length and shape, then the cut is done and checked as we go so it sits naturally. If there is a lot to take off, or hair needs a full blow dry to assess the shape, you may be advised to book a cut and finish instead.
After the cut, keeping it looking fresh
For most under 16s, regular small trims are the easiest way to avoid split ends and keep the style sitting nicely. If they are growing their hair out, we can suggest small, strategic trims to keep the ends healthy while maintaining length, especially helpful for long hair that tangles easily.
Booking in Grange Park, Northampton
If you are booking for a child or teen, add a note about their hair length and whether they want just a tidy up, a fringe trim, or a clearer change of shape. That helps ensure the right amount of time is set aside.
