A Wet Cut for under 16s is a straightforward, well finished haircut done on freshly washed, damp hair. It is ideal for keeping hair neat for school, sports and everyday life, with a shape that grows out softly and is easy to manage at home. Expect a calm consultation, precise cutting, and a clean finish that suits their hair type and routine.

Under 16 Wet Cuts that work for school, sport and busy weeks

This appointment is a good fit when hair has grown out, feels heavy at the ends, or just needs sharpening up. It is also ideal for regular maintenance trims, fringe tidy ups, and keeping longer hair in a manageable shape.

If your child wants a big change, lots of length off, or a restyle from long to short, it may be better to book a longer cut so there is time to talk it through properly.

How the Wet Cut appointment runs

We start with a quick chat about how they wear their hair, what they like, and what is getting in the way. Hair is shampooed, then cut on damp hair for control and clean lines. We check balance and tidy the small details that make it look polished, then lightly dry so you can see the shape.

After the cut, keeping the shape looking fresh

For most under 16 cuts, a regular trim helps the style keep its shape and reduces knots and split ends. At home, brushing gently from the ends upwards and using a simple conditioner can make day to day styling much easier, especially for longer or thicker hair.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wet cut?
A wet cut is done on freshly washed, damp hair. It helps your stylist create an even shape and clean lines, then the hair is lightly dried so you can see the finish.
Does an under 16 wet cut include a wash?
Yes, a wet cut starts with a shampoo so the hair is clean and damp for cutting. If your child prefers not to have their hair washed, mention it at the start and we will advise what is best for the result.
Can a parent or guardian stay during the appointment?
Of course. You can stay close by for the consultation and the cut, especially for younger children or if it helps them feel more comfortable. If your teen prefers a bit of independence, that is fine too.
What if my child wants a big change or a new style?
Bring a couple of reference photos and we will talk through what is realistic for their hair and upkeep. If it is a major restyle, it may be better to book a longer appointment so it does not feel rushed.
How should we prepare for the appointment?
If possible, arrive with hair brushed through and free from tight knots, especially for longer hair. Let us know about cowlicks, strong partings, or any sensitivities around brushing, so we can keep the service comfortable.
