Kids' Haircut for Central Business District
A kids' haircut at Pat's is a real barber experience — not a themed chair with a cartoon playing overhead, but an actual skilled cut that grows out right and looks good on picture day, at a school interview, or just running around Lafayette Square. We work with all hair types common in New Orleans — tight coils, loose curls, straight, thick, fine — and we take the time to make sure the shape suits the kid's face and the parent's maintenance routine. For younger kids who've never been in a barber chair, we keep the energy calm and the conversation easy. No rushing, no drama. The goal is a kid who leaves looking sharp and actually wants to come back.
- Experienced with kids of all ages — from toddlers to teenagers
- Works with all hair textures including tight coils, curls, and thick straight hair
- Clean, precise edges and fades that actually hold their shape
- Calm, no-pressure environment — good for kids who are nervous about the chair
- Convenient to CBD offices, schools, and downtown residential streets
- Straightforward pricing — no hidden add-ons for a basic kids' cut

"LOVE Pat! I am a hairstylist and my husband sees Pat. Having been a little too busy to do it myself, I sent my 6 year old to see him and I could not be happier with how he did!!! I was nervous because my son’s hair is super thick and course and he’s got an odd hairline. I can’t thank you enough Pat!"
"Pat is awesome. Friendly and has a conversation with you. It's hard to find a barber who gives you that barbershop experience and high quality haircuts."
FAQ
Kids' Haircut in Central Business District — common questions
How old does my child need to be for a kids' haircut at Pat's?
We've cut hair on kids as young as toddler age. If your child can sit still enough for a few minutes, we can work with them. For very young or anxious kids, having a parent sit close by makes a big difference.
What does a kids' haircut cost at Pat's Barber Shop?
Pricing is straightforward — ask when you call or walk in, and there won't be any surprises at the register. We don't tack on extra charges for texture or length on a standard kids' cut.
Do I need an appointment or can we walk in?
Walk-ins are welcome. If you want to reduce wait time, especially on a weekday afternoon or Saturday morning, give us a call first to get a sense of how busy we are.
My son has very tight natural hair. Can your barbers handle that?
Absolutely. Working with tight coils and natural textures is a regular part of what we do in New Orleans. We'll shape it cleanly and talk through any maintenance tips if you want them.
What if my kid gets anxious in the barber chair?
It happens, and we're used to it. We move at a pace that keeps things calm, and parents are always welcome to stay right next to the chair. We're not in a rush to the point where a nervous kid becomes a problem.
