Kids Haircut in Chatsworth, CA
For a kids haircut in Chatsworth, bring them to Chatsworth Barbershop at De Soto and Lassen, right here in town. The kids cut is for children 12 and under and takes about twenty to thirty minutes. The barber goes slowly, shows each tool before it gets near the head, and keeps the chair time short, which matters for a first haircut or a kid who would rather be at the park.

Back to school cuts from Devonshire to Variel
LAUSD starts the school year in mid August, and the two weeks before that are the busiest stretch of the year for kids' cuts. Families from Chatsworth Park Elementary on Devonshire Street, Superior Street Elementary on Oso Avenue, and Lawrence Middle School on Variel Avenue are all working toward the same first day. If you can, come in late July or the first week of August, on a weekday morning while summer break is still on.
Picture day often lands early in the school year, so check the date your school sends home. A cut about five to seven days before the photo looks the most natural, because the edges have settled. Middle schoolers at Lawrence or at the Chaminade middle school campus on Devonshire usually have opinions by then, so let them tell the barber what they want.
After a Saturday game on Mayall Street
Chatsworth Junior Baseball League plays on its fields on Mayall Street, and Chatsworth Park North on Chatsworth Street has ball fields, basketball courts, and a playground. Plenty of kids reach the chair with a cap line pressed into their hair and some infield dirt behind the ears. That is no problem. The barber sprays the hair down before cutting anyway.
For kids who play all season, shorter sides with some length on top are the easiest to live with. The cut dries fast, stays out of the eyes under a batting helmet, and still looks tidy as it grows. Saturday is the shop's busiest day, so if the game ends early, calling ahead saves a long wait with a restless player.
Keeping a nervous first haircut calm
Some kids have never sat in a barber chair. The barber turns the clippers on away from the head so the sound comes first, adds a booster seat when it helps, and skips the straight razor on young children. Parents can stand close, and a favorite show on a phone is welcome.
Most kids are calmest mid morning, after breakfast. Because the shop is in town, a weekday visit during a school break fits in without losing the day. Once a child turns thirteen, the men's haircut is the right booking, since it allows more time for detailed fades.
Price and what you get
On the shop menu this is the Kid’s Haircut, $35, about 20-30 min in the chair. See exactly what the Kid’s Haircut includes, or browse the full menu.
Kids Haircut questions from Chatsworth
Can I bring my Superior Street or Chatsworth Park student in right after school?
Yes. The shop is open until 6pm Tuesday through Saturday, and both schools are a short drive from De Soto and Lassen. Late afternoons fill quickly once school is back in session, so booking online the day before is the easiest way to get a set time.
How far ahead should Chatsworth parents book a back to school haircut?
About a week ahead is a good rule in early August. The days right before LAUSD starts in mid August are the most crowded of the year. A weekday morning in late July or the first days of August is usually the easiest time to get in without a wait.
At what age does a Lawrence Middle School kid move to the men's haircut?
At thirteen. The kids haircut covers children 12 and under, which takes in most sixth and seventh graders. Older kids usually want sharper fades and more detail, and the men's haircut gives the barber the extra time that work needs.
Is a cut right before a Chatsworth Junior Baseball game a bad idea?
Not at all, though a day or two before is easier than an hour before the first pitch. Freshly cut hair can itch under a cap for a little while. If game day is the only option, the barber brushes off the loose hair carefully before your player leaves the chair.
My child is scared of clippers. Can the whole cut be done with scissors?
Often, yes. Scissor cuts work well for longer styles, and the barber will tell you honestly if the look you want needs clippers. Mention it when you book or when you sit down, so the barber can plan the cut around it from the start.
Can siblings be cut back to back on the same Chatsworth visit?
Yes. Book one time per child, one after the other, or walk in together on a quieter weekday morning. Each kids cut takes about twenty to thirty minutes, so two children usually take under an hour in total.
