Haircuts Don’t Have to Be a pain

As an Occupational Therapist who is also a barber. I have found the weighted cape to be very effective with my neurodivergent clients!

 

A lot of my clients appreciate the extra weight to not only regulate their sensory nervous system; but also providing a sense of comfort in what could be an overstimulating environment. I definitely recommend this cape to OTs to be used as a tool to simulate hair grooming experiences for all ages

Why choose the weighted cape?

Every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported, even in the barber’s chair.
If you believe in making haircuts more accessible and inclusive for children with special needs, our weighted haircutting cape was made with that mission in mind.

Haircuts shouldn’t be overwhelming—they can be calming, even joyful. While our cape offers comfort to all kids, it can be truly transformative for those who are sensory-sensitive and often struggle through haircuts.

 

Help turn a stressful moment into a soothing one. Because looking good should feel good too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my child?

Yes, a good rule of thumb is to do 5% of your kids weight. If at least 30lbs do the 1.5lb cape, if at least 60lbs do the 3lb cape, if anything over 100lbs you can try the adult 4 lb cape. Please refer to size chart. 

 

Can I wash it at home?

Absolutely — machine washable. Just take the weights out and wash the cape in warm or cold temps.

What if my child doesn’t like it?

 Please take it off immediately. Do not force them to wear it

What material is it made out of?

92% Polyester 8% spandex

Does it have arm holes?

Yes, for kids to hold snacks, ipads etc

How does it work?

 Simple, the weighted pad inserts into the zippered pocket on the interior of the cape. Drape around the kid and fasten with the buttons.

How long does it take to ship?

3-5 business days

makes my job much easier.

My clients loved it, they said it made them unwind and relax in the chair. I personally love it because my clients don't move as much in the chair which makes my job much easier.

made them feel really calm in the chair!!

My clients loved it, some of them even said the weight could be a bit heavier because it made them feel really calm in the chair. I had a client say it reminded him of the lead blankets when getting an xray at the dentist. I save this cape specifically for my premium services.
