"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 French Quarter — common questions
What's a fair price for a kids' haircut near the French Quarter?
Kids' haircut pricing at Pat's Barber Shop is based on the actual barbershop service — a full cut with proper technique, not a quick trim. Prices reflect the skill involved, and for a boys' cut done right, a barbershop is typically competitive with or better value than a salon. Call Pat's directly for current pricing.
How long does a kids' haircut take at Pat's Barber Shop?
A standard kids' haircut at Pat's runs roughly 20 to 30 minutes from sitting down to stepping out. More detailed styles like fades take a bit longer, while a simple taper or trim moves quicker. The barber won't push a child through faster than they're comfortable with.
At what age is a child ready for a barber shop haircut?
Most boys are ready for a real barbershop cut around age 2 to 3, once they can sit in a chair without needing to be held. Pat's barbers are experienced working with young kids who are new to the chair. If your child has had a first trim at home or at a salon, the barbershop is a natural next step.
Is a barber shop better than a kids' hair salon for a boy's cut?
For boys' cuts — tapers, fades, shape-ups — Pat's Barber Shop delivers the kind of finish that most salons aren't trained for. Barbers specialize in clipper technique and clean lines in a way that general stylists typically don't. If your son wants a sharp fade or a clean taper, the barber shop is the right choice.
Are there kid-friendly things to do near the French Quarter after a haircut?
The French Quarter puts families steps from the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas on the riverfront and the Steamboat Natchez boarding area at the Toulouse Street Wharf. Jackson Square itself is great for kids — street performers, the cathedral, and open space right on the river. A haircut at Pat's fits naturally into a full French Quarter family day.
