Keep young hair neat and healthy with our Wash, Cut and Finish for under-16s with hair above the shoulders at Faking It. We start with a quick consultation with parent and child, use a gentle cleanse, then shape a precise, age-appropriate cut. A smooth blow-dry and finish reveal the style clearly, and we share simple tips for easy care at home.
