Graduation night at John Elway Stadium on Zelzah Avenue
Granada Hills Charter holds its high school graduation in the evening at John Elway Stadium, on the Zelzah Avenue campus, in late May or early June. Fathers, uncles and grandfathers sit through the ceremony and then stand around for photos on the field.
A Gentleman Haircut about a week ahead gives the taper time to settle, so the cut looks natural instead of freshly done. It is a scissor cut with no hard line, which means there is no stark edge for the camera to find.
Groomsmen and guests at Knollwood Country Club
Knollwood Country Club, on Balboa Boulevard, has an outdoor ceremony site overlooking its golf course that seats up to 300 guests. That is a lot of cameras pointed at the front rows, and the men sitting in them usually want the same thing: a haircut that looks finished without looking fussy.
The Gentleman Haircut is cut with shears and comb, and the sides stay no shorter than a one and a half guard length. Come in about a week before the wedding. If you also keep a beard, the Haircut & Beard does both jobs in one visit.
Gray and thinning hair, twelve minutes from Devonshire Street
Gray or thinning hair usually looks better with a soft taper than with a hard fade, because a sharp skin line draws the eye to exactly the spot that is changing. This cut leaves enough length on the sides to blend, and the top is worked section by section so it still combs into a clean shape.
From Devonshire Street the shop is about twelve minutes west, and the cut itself takes about thirty. We are open Monday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, and Saturday, 10am to 5pm, and closed Sunday. Walk ins are welcome. Weekday mornings are the quietest, and parking is free out front.

Gentleman Haircut questions from Granada Hills
Is a week enough time to get a Gentleman Haircut before graduation at John Elway Stadium?
Yes. A week ahead is plenty. The soft taper settles in a few days, so by the evening of the ceremony it looks natural. Book online, or walk in on a weekday morning when the shop is quietest.
Will a Gentleman Haircut hold through a long wedding day at Knollwood Country Club?
Yes. With no hard fade line, there is no sharp edge to blur as the day goes on, and a quick comb fixes anything a breeze on the course moves. Come in about a week before so the cut has settled.
Does a cap on the Knollwood fairways ruin a Gentleman Haircut?
Not much. The cut keeps natural length on the sides and top, so a comb brings it back when the cap comes off. It needs no product to look right back at the clubhouse afterward.
Can I fit a Gentleman Haircut into a lunch break from Devonshire Street?
It is tight but possible. The cut takes about thirty minutes, and the drive is about twelve minutes each way. Book online for the first slot at 10am or one before the 6pm close, or walk in.
Can a Balboa Highlands man ask for a side part with the Gentleman Haircut?
Yes. Shears and comb are the traditional way to cut a side part. Tell your barber which side you part on and how much length you want off the top, and the taper is built around it.
Why would a Granada Hills man pick shears over a fade?
Shears give a soft, gradual taper instead of a hard line, and the sides never go shorter than a one and a half guard length. The cut also holds its look a little longer than a skin fade, which suits a busy week.
