About one in five Chatsworth neighbors is 65 or older
In the 91311 ZIP code, roughly one resident in five is 65 or older, according to the Census Bureau's latest American Community Survey figures. Many people at that stage of life want the same thing from a haircut: the style they already like, done carefully and without a rush. That is what the senior haircut is for.
The barber asks how you have been wearing it and keeps that shape. Gray and thinning hair usually looks better with a softer taper than a hard fade, and it is cut to sit neatly without much product. If you would like your eyebrows tidied at the same visit, ask about the Men's Haircut & Eyebrows.
Quiet weekday mornings on De Soto
Weekday mornings are the calmest part of the week at the shop, which suits most retired schedules. The door opens at 10am Tuesday through Saturday, and a Tuesday or Wednesday morning usually means little or no wait.
No freeway is involved from anywhere in Chatsworth. De Soto, Lassen, Plummer, and Devonshire all run close by, and the lot out front is free. From Chatsworth Commons Senior Living on Devonshire Street, it is a short drive down De Soto, so a family member or friend can bring you over and be back in well under an hour.
Fitting a trim around the rest of the week
The Robert M. Wilkinson Multipurpose Senior Center on Vanalden Avenue in Northridge keeps weekday hours from 8:30 to 4:30, and a haircut fits easily on the way there or on the way home. A cut before a doctor's visit, a family party, or a trip works just as well.
Most classic cuts stay tidy for four to six weeks. Shorter styles need attention a little sooner, about every three to four weeks, to keep the neckline clean. If you like the same day and time each month, ask when you pay and the next visit can be set before you leave.

Senior Haircut questions from Chatsworth
Who qualifies for the senior haircut at the Chatsworth shop?
Anyone 65 or older, and anyone who is retired. There is no paperwork and no card to show. Mention it when you book or when you sit down, and you get the same full cut and careful consultation at the senior rate.
Can I reach the shop from west Chatsworth without getting on the 118?
Yes, and it is the simpler way anyway. From the west side of Chatsworth, Devonshire Street or Lassen Street east to De Soto Avenue brings you right to the shop on surface streets. Parking is free in the lot out front.
Can a family member drive me over from a Chatsworth senior community and wait?
Yes. Family members and caregivers are welcome to wait while you are in the chair. The cut takes about twenty five to thirty five minutes, so a driver can sit inside or run a quick errand nearby and be back in time.
What time of day is quietest for seniors at the De Soto Avenue shop?
Weekday mornings, Tuesday through Friday, are usually the calmest. Saturday is the busiest day, with families and weekend regulars. If you prefer a quiet shop and a short wait, a Tuesday or Wednesday morning is a good choice.
Can I still get a classic side part or a short back and sides?
Yes. Classic cuts are the heart of the senior haircut. Tell the barber how you have worn it for years, or bring an old photo, and the cut is shaped to match, then finished neatly at the neckline and around the ears.
Can I get my haircut on the way home from the Wilkinson center in Northridge?
Yes. The center keeps weekday hours until 4:30, and the shop stays open until 6pm Tuesday through Saturday, so an afternoon cut on the way home works. Calling ahead is a good idea late in the day, when walk in waits can be longer.
