Back to school at Serrania Avenue and beyond
LAUSD classes begin in mid August. In Woodland Hills that means younger kids back at campuses like Serrania Avenue Charter for Enriched Studies, and older brothers heading to Taft Charter High on Winnetka Avenue or El Camino Real on Valley Circle.
Picture day usually comes a few weeks into the fall. A cut five to seven days before the photo gives the most natural look. The hair has settled, the edges are still clean, and it does not look like a same day buzz. Check the school calendar and book a week ahead.
Swim team hair and summer at the Shoup Avenue pool
The Woodland Hills Recreation Center on Shoup Avenue has a year round pool, and plenty of local kids spend long stretches in the water. Chlorine and sun dry out hair quickly, and longer styles get tangled.
For swimmers, a shorter cut is easier to rinse and comb. A short taper on the sides with a little length on top dries in minutes and still looks tidy. If your child swims most days, tell your barber so the length suits it.
Keeping young kids relaxed in the chair
Some children sit still from the start. Others need time. Your barber lets them hear the clipper before it comes close, uses a booster seat when it helps, and keeps the visit unhurried. A parent can stay right beside the chair.
Mid morning is usually the calmest time for little ones. Kids 12 and under book the kids haircut. From 13 on, they book the men's haircut, which leaves more time for detailed fades.
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 Woodland Hills
When should a Serrania Avenue student get a haircut before picture day?
About five to seven days before. That leaves time for the cut to settle so it looks natural in the photo. Picture day dates are usually on the school calendar or in the school newsletter.
What haircut works for a Woodland Hills kid who swims at the Shoup Avenue pool?
A short taper with some length on top. It rinses and dries fast, handles chlorine better than long hair, and still looks neat for school the next day.
Is there a calm kids barber a short drive from Woodland Hills?
Chatsworth Barbershop is about fifteen minutes north on De Soto Avenue or Topanga Canyon Boulevard. The kids haircut is unhurried, and your barber explains each step so younger children feel comfortable.
My son starts at Taft Charter High. Does he still get the kids cut?
No. The kids haircut is for 12 and under. A high school student books the men's haircut, which gives the barber time for a detailed fade or style.
What is the easiest time to bring a toddler from Woodland Hills for a first haircut?
Mid morning on a weekday, after breakfast and before a nap, is usually easiest. The shop is quieter then, and your child has the barber's full attention without a crowd.
What cut works for an El Camino Real sibling who is still 12 or under?
Younger brothers often want the same fade as the high schooler. Your barber can cut a kid friendly version of it in the kids haircut, with a softer blend that grows out well between visits.
Can I book haircuts for two Woodland Hills kids at once?
Yes. Book two kids haircuts back to back online or by phone. Each takes about twenty to thirty minutes, so plan for close to an hour.
