There are many magical firsts for children at Disney World, but one of the most special experiences is getting their first haircut at Harmony Barber Shop. I had the joy of taking two of my children there when they were each just two years old, and the experience was truly unforgettable. It's like a rite of passage for our family! Disney turns an ordinary milestone into a cherished memory with their special First Haircut Package, and I want to share all the details so YOU can create this magical moment, too!
Located on Main Street, U.S.A., Harmony Barber Shop is a charming, old-fashioned barbershop that many guests walk right past without realizing its a functioning barber shop! Anyone can get a haircut or beard trim here, but the First Haircut Package is what I love most!
The First Haircut Package is $28.00 and includes:- A keepsake certificate with their name and their barbers name
- A lock of your child’s hair in a small pouch
- Special Mickey ears embroidered with “First Haircut”
- A sprinkle of pixie dust on their hair for extra magic if they'd like
- *it doesn't include gratuity, which must be in cash*
The barbers at Harmony Barber Shop are incredibly patient and experienced with young children. They know how to make kids feel comfortable, whether that means singing songs, using gentle reassurance, or even letting them sit on a parent’s lap during the cut. My little ones were both a bit squirmy, but the cast members worked their magic to keep them engaged and happy throughout the process by offering them stickers or toys to hold.
Both of my children had different reactions—one was completely fascinated by the stickers and toys, while the other was a little unsure. However, the barbers kept her entertained, and by the end, they both looked adorable with their fresh cuts! Seeing them wear their Mickey ears with pride was a moment I’ll never forget.

Reservations:
Due to its popularity, it’s best to make a reservation in advance through the My Disney Experience app or Disney’s website. Same-day appointments may be available, but they fill up quickly. You can book them 60 days before your arrival. Walk-ins are accepted, but availability is limited. If this experience is a must-do for your family, I highly recommend booking ahead of time.
Mornings tend to be less crowded, and kids are often in a better mood earlier in the day. I scheduled my daughters this past January for 1 p.m. because I wanted her to have had lunch and some rides before she took a nap in my favorite Magic Kingdom napping spot (Hall of Presidents).
The First Haircut at Harmony Barber Shop is an experience I’d recommend to any Disney-loving parent. It is definitely a core memory that you and your child will treasure forever.
