SEND friendly haircuts at Uniform Hut
The Uniform Hut at 123-125 Pasture St. Grimsby, DN32 9EE are offering SEND friendly haircuts.
They had an increasing number of enquiries from parent carers who expressed the difficulty that can come with something as simple as a getting a haircut for a child with SEND.
A local mum said: “I’m ever so thankful to The Uniform Hut for being so patient, cam and understanding with Riley with him having special needs he can be very challenging and unpredictable but these ladies made me and my son feel so so welcome and made me feel so at ease as I felt pretty stressed and on edge most of the time but our little man in the end after lots of running up and down and exploring the toys and sensory things and being cheeky…say on the floor watching youtube and eating crispies while having his hair trimmed and i’m so proud of him as its a big thing for him! I really do highly recommend The Uniform Hut 100%.”
