First cuts to fresh fades
First cuts to fresh fades. Quick in the chair, and the kid walks out looking as sharp as dad. Some kids come in for their first trim ever. Others want the same skin fade their older brother has. Both get the same attention to detail Alex gives every adult in the chair.
The first haircut
A first haircut is a big deal, mostly for the parents. Here’s how to make it easy: come when your kid is fed and rested, not right before a nap. Bring a snack or a show on your phone. Let them watch someone else get cut first if they’re unsure. And don’t worry about wiggling; the goal on day one is a kid who’s happy to come back, with a neat haircut as the bonus. Timing, what to bring and saving that first lock are all covered in the first haircut guide for parents. Call (917) 324-6347 before a very first cut so you can pick a good time.
Back to school
The week before school starts is when every family remembers at once. Whether your kid is headed to Pearl River High School, Pearl River Middle School, or Lincoln Avenue, Evans Park or Franklin Avenue elementary, book ahead for that week, or come on a Sunday, 9 AM – 5:20 PM, so the cut doesn’t eat into a school night.
Older kids and teens
Older kids usually know exactly what they want and have a photo to prove it. Fades, tapers, textured crops, a clean line-up: if it works on their hair, it’s on the table. See our skin fades for kids and adults for the difference between low, mid and high.
How often
Every 3 to 5 weeks for most kids. Anything with a fade looks best on a 2 to 3 week cycle. Picture day and family photos are good reasons to come in a few days before, not the morning of.
Getting here
We’re on Central Ave, a short walk from the Pearl River train station. Street meters out front; free on Sundays. Book a time online, call (917) 324-6347, or walk in when the chair’s free.

Parent questions, answered
Do you cut kids’ hair?
Yes. First haircuts, school cuts and fresh fades. A kids cut takes about 20–30 min. Walk-ins welcome when the chair’s free. Booking guarantees your spot.
How much is a kids haircut?
Kids cuts are priced at the chair. Call (917) 324-6347 and we’ll tell you before you come in.
What age do you start cutting kids’ hair?
Call (917) 324-6347 to check for your child’s age, especially for a very first haircut. That way you can pick a time that suits a little one.
Can I bring my kid for a first haircut?
Yes, bring the kid. Sit close by, bring a snack or a show on your phone if it helps, and don’t worry if they wiggle. First cuts are about getting them comfortable in the chair as much as the haircut itself.
Can a dad and kid get cut on the same visit?
Yes. Call (917) 324-6347 to book two times back to back, or book one and ask about the second when you’re in. Need to cancel? Call at least 2 hours ahead, or the full cut is charged.
Are you open on Sundays for kids cuts?
Yes. Open Sunday. Closed Saturday. Sunday hours are 9 AM – 5:20 PM, so school-week cuts don’t have to eat into a weeknight. Street meters out front; free on Sundays.
