Before the first bell at Hart Street and Canoga Park Elementary
LAUSD opens the school year in mid August, and back to school haircut season starts about two weeks before that. Families from Hart Street Elementary, Canoga Park Elementary on Topanga Canyon Boulevard, and Canoga Park Middle School on Elkwood Street are all on the same calendar, so the last week before school fills up fast.
A weekday morning in late July or early August is the easy window. Kids are rested, the shop is quieter, and nobody is rushing. If your family can only do Saturday, book several days ahead.
Cuts that survive a season at Lanark
Lanark Recreation Center on Lanark Street runs youth baseball, soccer, basketball, softball, and volleyball, and it has a skate park and a pool that opens for the season. Kids who spend their afternoons there come home hot and sweaty, and their hair has to handle that.
A short cut on the sides with a little length on top is the low maintenance choice for active kids. It dries quickly after the pool, stays out of the eyes under a batting helmet, and grows out without looking messy. For kids who want something sharper, a low fade works too. Just plan the next trim a little sooner.
Picture day and the middle school years
Picture day often comes early in the school year, so watch for the date in the school's first notices. A cut about a week before the photo looks natural, since the edges have softened just enough.
By middle school, kids at Canoga Park Middle usually want a say in their style. Let them talk to the barber directly, and they will leave with something they actually like. Kids 12 and under stay on the kids cut. Once they turn thirteen, the men's haircut gives the barber more time for detailed fades and line work.

Kids Haircut questions from Canoga Park
When should Canoga Park Middle School students book a back to school cut?
Aim for the first week of August, about a week before LAUSD classes start in mid August. That leaves time for the hair to settle and avoids the crowded final days. Weekday mornings are the easiest to book.
Can my kid come straight from practice at Lanark Recreation Center?
Yes. A sweaty head is no problem, since the barber sprays the hair down before cutting anyway. The drive up to the shop takes about ten minutes, and a booked time means your child is not waiting around tired after practice.
What is the calmest time to bring a toddler up from Canoga Park?
Mid morning on a weekday, after breakfast and before any nap. The shop is quieter then, so your barber can take the time a young child needs. The kids cut runs about twenty to thirty minutes, and parents are welcome to stay close.
Does the barber use a straight razor on kids?
Not on young children. The edges around the ears and neck are cleaned with a trimmer held where the child can see it. For older kids, a razor finish is optional and only done if a parent asks for it.
How often do kids who play sports in Canoga Park need a trim?
Every four to six weeks is typical for a short, sporty cut. A tighter fade shows growth sooner, closer to three weeks. During a busy season at Lanark, booking the next cut before you leave saves a scramble later.
