Kids Haircut in Simi Valley, CA
Parents in Simi Valley can get a kids haircut at Chatsworth Barbershop on De Soto Avenue, about eighteen minutes away over the Santa Susana Pass.

Back to school timing in Simi Valley Unified
Simi Valley Unified starts school earlier than a lot of families expect. Classes start in mid August, which puts the back to school rush in the first days of August, not the week before Labor Day. If your kids go to Big Springs, Hollow Hills, Wood Ranch, or any of the district's eighteen elementary schools, plan the cut for early August and skip the scramble.
Students at Hillside, Sinaloa, or Valley View middle schools who are still twelve can book the kids cut too. Once they turn thirteen, the men's haircut is the right booking.
Picture day and soccer at Rancho Santa Susana
School picture day usually lands a few weeks after the first bell. A cut about a week before looks natural in photos, because the edges have softened just enough. Check the flyer in the backpack or ask the school office for the date.
Rancho Santa Susana Community Park is home to Simi Valley's youth soccer. Short sides with a little length on top stay out of the eyes during a game and dry fast after practice. Your barber will ask what sports your child plays before picking a length.
Keeping the car ride easy for a young passenger
Eighteen minutes is a short ride for an adult and a long one for a four year old. A snack, a rested child, and a quieter weekday slot all help. Kids tend to relax more when the shop is calm.
If you are coming over for your own cut anyway, book the two back to back so one trip covers both.
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 Simi Valley
When should I book a back to school haircut for a Simi Valley Unified student?
Early August. Simi Valley Unified starts in mid August, so the week before is when chairs fill. Booking online a week or two ahead gets you a set time and a cut that still looks tidy on the first day.
Will the barber be patient with my toddler from Simi Valley?
Yes. The kids cut is paced for children, and your barber takes breaks when a little one gets restless. Bringing a favorite toy helps. Weekday visits, when the shop is quieter, are usually easiest for a first haircut after a car ride over the pass.
What haircut works for a kid who plays soccer at Rancho Santa Susana?
A short taper with a bit of length on top. It keeps hair off the forehead during games, cools down fast, and grows out evenly, so it still looks fine by the next cut four or five weeks later.
Can my twelve year old at Sinaloa Middle School still get the kids cut?
Yes. The kids haircut covers children twelve and under, so a twelve year old still qualifies. At thirteen, book the men's haircut instead, which allows time for fades and more detailed styling.
Can a parent and child from Simi Valley get haircuts on the same trip?
Yes. Book two appointments back to back, or walk in together and let the shop know you are both getting cut. It turns one drive over the pass into two haircuts, which makes the trip more worthwhile.
