Monica's Travels and Reviews: Harmony Barber Shop on Main Street in Disney World Review

This is one of my absolute favorite things that we have experienced in recent trips to Disney World. (And I've had quite a few lol.)

Disney World offers a package called babies first haircut and so I booked it for my son who had just turned 1. It is $25 and comes with a Mickey ears hat, certificate of haircut in Disney, and of course the haircut! The price I think is very reasonable considering it is in Disney. My kids local haircut place charges $18 or $23 if you make an appointment with a specific stylist. So really about the same.

The added bonus of the Disney cut is the photopass photographers. If your an annual pass holder they pictures are included. If you buy memory maker the pictures are also included. There is also a third option of having them take the photos and picking one or two after your trip.

Our actual experience was pretty magical. I feel like I'm giving away a huge (air conditioned) secret here but here it goes. I made our apt for 2:45 pm. I did not take into consideration the 3 pm Festival of Fantasy Parade. Due to the parade no photopass photographers were there. The pictures were the main reason for me booking this Disney haircut. So I kindly explained that to the lady at the check in desk. She called for one but told me I may have to wait until after the parade. I said no problem as the haircut boy was fast asleep in the stroller anyway.

So we sat on the small padded window sill waiting for the photographer to arrive. The place is small so you may only be inside if one of your party are getting their haircut or if you are one of the next people to be cut. Otherwise it's a wait outside deal.

While waiting in the window sill we heard the parade music begin. The cast members were clearing the streets of people and finishing blocking off the crowd and then the magic happened. ..

The parade passes right in front of the little barbershop window right before it heads into the backstage area. There were people everywhere except right in front of the window. It was perfect. So perfect. I have never enjoyed the parade so much on a hot summers day. My other 2 children that were awake and loved the peace, a/c, and the parade.

Right after it wrapped up a photopass photograph popped in the door and we got started!

I highly recommend the babies first haircut at Harmony Barber Shop. They were quick and professional as you can be when dealing with squirmy 1 year old. We also saw a few other boys get their haircut they looked to be about 6-15 and also one father.

You have the option to make an appointment ahead of time or be a walk in. There is no guarantee for walk-ins but they seemed to have plenty of available slots around parade time.
