If you are looking for a real hair-raising experience at Walt Disney World, adults and kids have a number of options that don’t involve roller coasters or spooky rides. Check out these locations that are a cut above your everyday hair salon where kids and adults can get a Magical Makeover!
Harmony Barber Shop
When you are in Magic Kingdom, just look for the red and white striped Barber Pole on Main Street and you will find an authentic Victorian barber shop complete with old fashioned barber chairs and décor.
For around $20, you can get a hair cut, beard or mustache trim. If you want an eye-catching Disney-do, a colorful not-so-hidden Mickey can be applied to your hair with gel and glitter (that’s pixie dust!) for an additional charge.
A child’s first hair cut can become a magical memory at the Harmony Barber Shop. This special milestone can be commemorated with a cute certificate and Mickey Ears stitched with “First Haircut.” They even wrap up your child’s locks of hair along with some pixie dust for prosperity.
You can book a haircut up to 60 days in advance via the Walt Disney World website. The Barber Shop is open seven days a week and reservations are strongly suggested. (Note that $10 charge will apply for no-shows or cancellations within one day of your reservation.)
Pricing for various services starts as follows:
- Adult Haircut — Starts at $21
- Child’s Haircut — Starts at $20
- My First Haircut experience — Starts at $28
- Beard Trim — Starts at $8
The least busy times are early in the day or during an afternoon Parade. If you’re lucky, the Dapper Dans, a barbershop quartet, will stop by to harmonize while you are there!

Hair Wrapping
A unique souvenir from your Disney vacation to wear home is a hair wrap. Similar to hair braiding, brightly colored floss is wound around individual sections of hair to create a rainbow-like pattern. Beads, shells, etc. can be added for a unique look.
You can find hair wrap stations at many Disney resorts including Wilderness Lodge, Yacht and Beach Club, Grand Floridian, Caribbean Beach, and Port Orleans — French Quarter. (Disney has shared that vendors rotate locations, so you may also find hair wrapping stations at Resorts such as Pop Century, Art of Animation, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Polynesian Village, Port Orleans — Riverside, and BoardWalk Inn.) Look for hair wrap stations at Disney’s Water Parks — Typhoon Lagoon, and Blizzard Beach — as well.
If you have time to get your hair wrapped at a theme park, look for a booth in Adventureland near the Pirates of the Caribbean in the Magic Kingdom as well as Island Mercantile on Discovery Island in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. For the most up-to-date info on where to find hair wraps, ask the concierge in your resort lobby for current locations.
Whether you’re having a good or bad hair day, it’s always the perfect day to go to Walt Disney World!
