About this template
Here is a fun way to turn a small victory into a big moment: the Jade Ribbon First Haircut Certificate, a template that suits parents and grandparents at home. With a ribbon and Kalam headings, it has a cheerful feel, while the Peach Fuzz palette keeps the colours fresh. The big, friendly type is easy for young readers to recognise as their own.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Presented to [Name] for [Reason]. Keep shining!
[Name] is officially First Haircut Certificate. Signed by [Grown-up], [Date].
Well done, [Name]! Every day you are getting bigger, braver and better.
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the a lock of my first curls, age and salon fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. The design comes with three colour schemes (Barber Blue, Peach Fuzz and Sage Snip), and every single colour can be changed. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. Choose A4, US Letter or A3, in landscape or portrait, and the layout rearranges itself to fit. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
Bright white card of about 220 gsm makes the colours pop and stands up to small hands. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. Sign it in blue or black ink once it is printed for a personal touch.
