Easy school haircuts for boys and back-to-school styles for girls — low-maintenance cuts that pass school rules, survive PE, and take minutes on a weekday morning. Back-to-school timing differs between the US, UK, Canada and Australia, so these styles are chosen to work all school year, not just in September.

Before you book
Book the back-to-school cut one to two weeks before term starts — it looks settled by the first day and you avoid the busiest salon week of the year.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good school haircut?
It is tidy without daily styling, off the eyes and collar where rules require it, and grows out gracefully for six weeks or more. Every style in this collection is picked against those three tests.
What do I ask my stylist or barber for?
Ask for a tidy, low-maintenance cut that meets your school’s rules, and mention activities like swimming or sport so the length works on those days too.
