Men's Haircut in Northridge, CA
Northridge men can get a haircut at Chatsworth Barbershop on De Soto Avenue, about twelve minutes up Reseda Boulevard or Tampa Avenue. The menu covers skin, low, mid and high fades, tapers, textured crops and scissor cuts, all finished by hand. Northridge skews younger than its neighbors, with Cal State Northridge in the middle of it, so a lot of cuts here have to work for class, a part time job and a weekend out, sometimes all on the same day.

A younger neighborhood with a campus at its center
Census figures for the 91325 ZIP code put the median age near 38, noticeably younger than the foothill neighborhoods to the north. Much of that energy comes from CSUN, where students, faculty and staff keep the streets around Nordhoff and Reseda busy for most of the year.
That shows up in the chair. Textured crops, mid fades and longer tops are common requests, and so are simple, low maintenance cuts from people who work long hours and do not want to style anything before they leave the house.
Choosing a cut you can keep up on a student schedule
A skin fade looks great, but it needs attention every two or three weeks. If your schedule or your wallet does not allow that, a low taper or a scissor cut gives you four to six weeks before it looks grown out.
Tell your barber how often you realistically plan to come in. The cut is planned backward from that answer, so it still looks decent in week four instead of only on day one. If you are between looks, your barber can leave extra length so you have options next time.
When the drive up from Northridge is easiest
The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm, and weekday mornings are the quietest. If your classes or shifts start in the afternoon, that morning window is the easiest time to get in without a wait. Saturday is the busiest day, so book ahead if that is your only option.
From most of Northridge, head north on Reseda or Tampa and then west toward De Soto. Around campus at busy hours, allow a few extra minutes. Parking is free in the lot out front.
Price and what you get
On the shop menu this is the Men’s Haircut, $40, about 30-45 min in the chair. See exactly what the Men’s Haircut includes, or browse the full menu.
Men's Haircut questions from Northridge
Can a CSUN student fit a haircut between morning and afternoon classes?
Usually, yes. A standard cut takes about thirty to forty five minutes and the drive is about twelve minutes each way. Book a set time online so you know the gap between classes is long enough.
What haircut lasts longest for a busy Northridge schedule?
A low taper with some length on top grows out most evenly. It can go four to six weeks and still look intentional, while a skin fade usually needs a touch up after two or three.
Can Northridge guys get a textured crop instead of a fade?
Yes. A textured crop keeps the sides short and leaves choppy length on top, which is easy to style with a little product or none at all. Bring a photo if you have a specific version in mind.
When should I get a haircut before my CSUN graduation?
Three to five days before the ceremony is a good window. The cut has time to settle and looks natural in photos. Reserve your time online well ahead so you are not scrambling that week.
Can Northridge clients add an eyebrow cleanup to a haircut?
Yes. The Men's Haircut & Eyebrows covers a full cut plus eyebrow work in one visit. Ask for it by name when you book so enough time is set aside.
Is a scissor cut an option for Northridge faculty who prefer a classic look?
Yes. A full scissor cut suits longer, classic styles and grows out softly. Say at the start that you want shears only, and your barber will skip the clippers entirely.
