Fresh cuts for Winnetka Avenue Elementary and Sutter Middle
LAUSD classes start in mid August, and plenty of Winnetka kids walk onto campus at Winnetka Avenue Elementary or John A. Sutter Middle School, both on Winnetka Avenue. School picture day tends to land in the first weeks of fall, and that is when a clean cut matters most to parents.
A cut about a week before picture day looks the most natural in photos. The hair has settled, the edges are still sharp, and nothing looks freshly buzzed. Check the date on the school flyer and book a spot the week before.
After practice at the Winnetka Recreation Center
The Winnetka Recreation Center at Roscoe and Winnetka Avenue runs youth leagues through the PlayLA program for kids from 3 to 17, with basketball, baseball and softball among them. A kid who spends afternoons in the gym or on the diamond gets sweaty hair and a cap pulled on all day.
For these kids a shorter cut on the sides with a little length on top is easy to wash and hard to mess up. Tell your barber what sport your child plays and the cut can be planned around a helmet or a cap.
When your child is nervous about the clippers
Some kids are fine from the first minute. Others need a little time. Your barber lets them hear the clipper before it comes near the head, uses a booster seat when needed, and keeps the pace easy. A parent can stay right beside the chair.
The calmest time for a young child is usually a weekday after school or a Saturday morning after breakfast. Kids 12 and under book the kids cut. Teens book 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 Winnetka
When should my Winnetka kid get a haircut before school picture day?
About five to seven days before the photo. That gives the cut time to settle so it looks natural, while the edges still look clean. Picture day dates are usually on the school flyer or the school website.
Is there a barber near Sutter Middle School that is patient with kids?
Chatsworth Barbershop is about twelve minutes north of the Winnetka Avenue campus, up Winnetka Avenue or De Soto. The kids cut is unhurried, and your barber explains each step so younger kids know what is coming.
What haircut holds up for PlayLA basketball or baseball in Winnetka?
A short fade or taper on the sides with some length on top works well. It dries fast after a game, stays neat under a cap or helmet, and grows out evenly if you wait a few extra weeks.
Should a Winnetka Avenue Elementary kid get a haircut before the first day of school?
A cut in the week before the first day is a good habit, since summer hair tends to grow long and sun dried. LAUSD classes start in mid August, so aim for early August and book ahead, because those Saturdays fill up with families.
Can my 13 year old from Winnetka still get the kids cut?
No. The kids haircut is for children 12 and under. Teens book the men's haircut, which gives the barber the extra time for a detailed fade or style.
Can I bring two Winnetka kids in back to back?
Yes. Book two kids cuts one after the other online or call the shop. Each cut takes about twenty to thirty minutes, so plan for roughly an hour in total.
