I have a hair appointment tomorrow and plan on bringing my 3 month old because I have no one to watch him. Not sure if this is considered rude or if I should give the salon a heads up or what.

I think at 3 months it's okay because they sleep a lot at that age and just sit in a carrier. It's when they're older and crazy and can't sit still is when I definitely wouldn't bring them. But you know your baby best.

Totally fine. I used to do hair and would be fine with this. My hairstylist wears her baby while she works.

I'm sure they'll love it. Dogs and babies are always welcome 😂
Personally I'd ask in advance but I don't think it's ride

I have had to bring my toddler before to appointments and she has been fab and my hairdresser has been absolutely fine with it, especially as she's a mum too. Sometimes it just can't be helped.

I would give them a heads up to check because some places would be ok with in but others won’t be.

My fiancé is going to his barber with our 14 month old on Friday for a haircut cause I’m working 😂

I would for sure give a heads up. I’ve been to salons that have no children policies

I brought my 4 month old to my hair appt and nail appts. 🤷🏼♀️ they were really nice and understanding. Especially the nail appt bc baby boy woke up and wanted to feed so the lady stopped for a sec so I can get him situated in my lap to breastfeed and she actually went around the table to do my nails so I was still in comfortable position getting it done and breastfeeding.

Not at that age and if they are content. It's more mobile kids and the health and safety breaches alongside healthy noise pollution.

You have to ask, but then again, a salon is actually not a great place for a 3 months old to be in. The hair spray, the haircuts, the noise, all the products! I don’t particularly enjoy those smells myself, so I would never bring my babies that young into a salon. But if you must, then I would def let the salon know first and see what they think. If the baby ends up crying all the time, I really would just reschedule - I would understand why they would not enjoy being at the salon - my hair could always wait

I think it depends on the temperment of your baby. I also would call ahead and ask, but thats just me.

Thank you everyone for the advice!!

I took my baby all the way up to 14 months with me!

Bring in a car seat or carrier

My hair dresser said whilst she would like a heads up if I had to bring baby to try to work my appointment around any other appointments using harsh chemicals other than that if I needed to bring baby I could. I like not to simply because I don't get my hair cut very regularly anymore so I see it as me time but if I had to I could and would xx

Phone ahead let them know that you’re childcare has cancelled they should fine at 3 months just as they get older and want to be moving it’s a problem
