Close to one in five West Hills residents is 65 or older
In the 91307 ZIP code in West Hills, close to one resident in five is 65 or older, based on the Census Bureau's latest American Community Survey figures. That is a lot of neighbors who want a haircut that fits a retired schedule: no rush, and a cut that looks like the one they have worn for years.
The senior haircut is exactly that. A side part, a short back and sides, or a neat crew cut, done by hand and finished carefully around the ears and neck. Gray and thinning hair usually looks better with a softer taper, and the barber cuts with that in mind.
Surface streets all the way
From most of West Hills, the drive stays on surface streets. Valley Circle Boulevard north, or De Soto Avenue north, brings you to the shop without the 101 or the 118. From the south end, Sherman Way or Roscoe east to De Soto works just as well.
Parking is free in the lot out front. Weekday mornings, Tuesday through Friday, are the quietest time, and a morning cut leaves the rest of the day open.
Fitting a cut around appointments and outings
If you have appointments at UCLA West Valley Medical Center on Medical Center Drive, a haircut before or after is simple to arrange, since the shop is about ten minutes away. The Canoga Park Senior Center on Jordan Avenue welcomes adults 50 and over from the surrounding area on weekdays, and Orcutt Ranch has garden paths for a slow morning walk. A cut on the way home fits right in.
Most classic cuts stay tidy for four to six weeks. Ask to set your next visit before you leave if you like a routine.

Senior Haircut questions from West Hills
Is there a senior haircut near UCLA West Valley Medical Center?
Yes. Chatsworth Barbershop is about ten minutes from the hospital on surface streets. The senior haircut takes about twenty five to thirty five minutes, so it fits easily before or after an appointment, and parking out front is free.
Do I have to be 65 to get the senior haircut?
No. It is for anyone 65 or older, and also for anyone who is retired, whatever their age. There is nothing to show. Mention it when you book or when you sit down, and you get the same full cut at an unhurried pace.
Can I stop in after a morning walk at Orcutt Ranch?
Yes. The shop opens at 10am Tuesday through Saturday, and from Orcutt Ranch it is a straight run east on Roscoe to De Soto, then north. A late morning cut on a weekday is usually calm, and parking is free right out front.
Will the barber cut my hair the way I have always worn it?
Yes. Tell the barber how you have worn it, or bring an old photo, and the cut follows that shape. Nothing changes unless you ask for it, and the barber will check with you before taking off any extra length.
My hair is thinning on top. How often should I come in from West Hills?
Every four to five weeks usually works. Thinning hair shows unevenness sooner when the sides grow out, so a regular trim keeps the whole head looking balanced. With the shop only about ten minutes away, that schedule is easy to keep.
