Hairdresser guesses parenting styles based on kids’ haircut requests

A hairdresser has claimed she can tell exactly what kind of parenting style people have when they bring their kids in for a haircut.

A hairdresser has revealed how she can always tell what type of parent a person is by the way they ask for their children’s hair to be done.

In a hilarious video, hairstylist Sarah, re-enacted each of the different parenting types that she meets when cutting children’s hair, The Sun reported.

She highlighted the “tired mum”, the “silent but intimidating mum” and the “unrealistic expectations mum” in a TikTok that profiled the “types of mum that bring their kid to the salon”.

Her first impression was of a tired mum, who said: “I don’t care what you do, just chop it off, chop it all off.”

The next was of the unrealistic expectations mum, who said: “He’s only two years old so we don’t need anything crazy.

“But I was thinking a zero fade, high and tight with a hard part right here.

“And I want everything to be perfectly blended and look amazing without any product.”

Next up was the helicopter mum, who couldn’t help but stand far too close to her child and the stylist during the appointment.

Sarah then showcased the silent but intimidating mum who just stood watching with their arms folded and a furious expression but refused to take a seat when offered.

Then she acted out the mum who “doesn’t give a f**k”, who she portrayed on the phone speaking to a friend while her kids ran amok through the salon.

She said: “Timmy’s getting a haircut and I decided, why not bring all three? I don’t want to pay for a babysitter.”

Fellow TikTokers all seemed to relate most to the silent and intimidating type.

One person said: “Silent intimidating one is my mum.”

While another said: “I’m the silent intimidating one but it’s just because I have social anxiety.”

A third said: “My mum is a mix between silent and intimidating and just goes sit down and does a crossword.”
