Picture day at Blythe Street and the other Reseda campuses
LAUSD starts the school year in mid August. Across Reseda that means kids heading back to places like Blythe Street Elementary, and older siblings walking into Cleveland Charter High on Vanalden or Reseda Charter High on Kittridge. Fall picture day is usually a few weeks in.
A haircut five to seven days before the photo looks the most natural. The hair has settled, the edges are still crisp, and nothing looks shaved that morning. Saturdays before picture day fill quickly, so booking a week or two ahead is smart.
Cuts for the Quack Pack and the Reseda Park leagues
Reseda Recreation Center on Victory runs youth sports leagues for kids from 5 to 16, with three baseball diamonds, basketball courts and field space. Its after school program, the Quack Pack, takes TK through 8th graders and walks over to pick kids up from Newcastle Elementary.
Kids who spend afternoons running around a park need a cut that handles sweat and sun. A short taper on the sides with a little length on top dries fast and still looks neat for class the next morning. Mention the sport and your barber will cut for it.
First haircuts without the tears
For a toddler or a nervous kid, the first few minutes matter most. Your barber lets them see and hear the clipper before it gets close, uses a booster seat when needed, and goes at a pace that keeps them calm. A parent can stay right next to the chair the whole time.
Mid morning, after breakfast, is often the easiest time for small children. Kids 12 and under book the kids haircut. Once they turn 13, they move to the men's haircut.
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 Reseda
Where can Blythe Street Elementary parents get a patient kids haircut?
Chatsworth Barbershop is about fifteen minutes from the Blythe Street campus, north up Reseda Boulevard and west to De Soto. The kids cut is for ages 12 and under, and your barber takes it slowly so young children stay comfortable.
What cut works for a Reseda kid in baseball at Reseda Park?
A short fade or taper with some length on top is the easiest. It stays tidy under a batting helmet or cap, dries quickly after a game, and grows out evenly between visits.
Can I book a kids haircut after the Quack Pack program lets out?
The shop is open until six Tuesday through Friday, so an early evening slot can work if you leave Reseda Park with time for the fifteen minute drive. Book online or call to hold the time.
How early should Reseda parents book before school picture day?
Book one to two weeks ahead and pick a day five to seven days before the photo. That timing gives a natural look, and Saturdays before picture day tend to fill up.
My Cleveland High freshman wants a fade. Is that a kids cut?
No. The kids haircut is for 12 and under. A high school freshman books the men's haircut, which gives your barber time for a detailed fade.
Can a toddler from Reseda sit on my lap for a first haircut?
Often, yes. For very young children, sitting on a parent is sometimes calmer than the chair. Tell your barber when you arrive and they will work with whatever keeps your child relaxed.
