“In the salon, distraction is your best friend when cutting a child’s hair.”
Do you ever experience restlessness when hair gets in the neck or the cutting cape isn’t appealing to children? With the right children’s cutting cape, cutting hair becomes no longer a struggle, but an opportunity to keep young clients happy and speed up the process.
What problems does this collection solve?
With the right model, every child sits more calmly in the chair. The haircut goes faster, there is less resisting, and parents notice: here, they understand children. This makes the difference between a stressful haircut and a smooth flow.

The problem
In practice, it appears that children often become restless or bored under a neutral or plain cutting cape. This leads to more movement, longer cutting times, or even failed haircuts. Plain or stiff capes offer no solution here.
Why people often choose incorrectly here
Many salons simply choose a ‘cutting cape’. This is understandable when time is tight, but it misses the opportunity to immediately win the trust of young clients and their parents. One unsuitable cutting cape can quickly cause impatience and a negative experience.
Types within this collection: choose consciously
- Animal prints & fantasy (such as dinosaur, unicorn, leopard)
- Hero & theme designs (rockstar, space heroes, Sesame Street)
- Classic cheerful prints (balloons, dogs, sweets)
- Multiple (swappable) prints for variety
- Sustainable materials (recycled, extra soft)
How do you choose the right one?
Start by determining what appeals to your target audience: adventure, recognition, or calm? Also pay attention to the fastener, material, and ease of maintenance. For salons with many young girls, a theme like ballerina (Sibel Children’s Cutting Cape Ballerina 120x95 cm) is suitable. For boys, astronaut or dinosaur prints are better.
Important differences in the collection
- Print: From playful and colorful to calm and stylish
- Material: Stiff, smooth, or extra soft – some versions are removable and lightweight
- Fastener: Snap button, hook, band, or Velcro – this determines the speed of application
- Unique designs: Multiple swappable prints per brand or theme for regular young clients
Comparison table: decide quickly

For salons that hold sustainability in high regard, it is wise to stock a recycled cutting cape such as Olivia Garden Children’s Cutting Cape Purple Unicorn.
