Kids' Haircut for French Quarter
A kids' haircut at Pat's is a proper barber cut — clippers, scissors, clean lines, shaped edges — done by someone who knows what they're doing and can read what a kid needs based on their hair type and face shape. French Quarter kids come in with everything from thick Creole curls to fine straight hair, and the cut gets treated accordingly, not run through a one-size template. We keep the chair experience relaxed for younger kids and can talk through style options with older ones who have opinions about how they want to look. The result should be something that holds up for a few weeks, not something that looks grown-out by Friday.
- Real barber skills — not a salon add-on service or a novelty kids' cut
- Handles all hair types common in New Orleans, including curly and coily textures
- Clean fades, tapers, and line-ups done with precision
- Relaxed pace that works for younger or first-time barber chair kids
- A local shop that serves the people who actually live in New Orleans
- No gimmicks — just a good haircut at a fair price

Rated 4.9 from 88 Google reviews.
"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
Is Pat's Barber Shop convenient to reach from the French Quarter?
Yes — Pat's is reachable without a car for many Quarter residents, and parking is not the ordeal it is deeper into the neighborhood. It's a practical option for families who want to stay close to home.
My daughter wants a shorter style — do you cut girls' hair too?
If the style is a barber-style cut — short sides, a taper, a fade, a clean shape — we can absolutely do it. For longer styles that need salon-specific techniques, we'd be honest with you about what we can and can't deliver.
How long does a kids' haircut typically take?
For most kids, the cut itself takes around 20 to 30 minutes depending on hair type and the style. We don't rush, but we also don't drag it out unnecessarily.
What if my child has never had a professional haircut before?
First-timers are common and we handle them without making it a big deal. Keeping a parent close, moving slowly with the clippers, and talking calmly through each step usually makes it go smoothly.
Do you do kids' cuts on weekends?
Yes. Check our hours before you come in, and if weekend mornings tend to be busy, a quick call beforehand will tell you what the wait looks like.
Serving French Quarter
More services & nearby areas
French Quarter residents know that most service businesses in their neighborhood cater to visitors, not the people who actually live there year-round. Pat's is a working barber shop for New Orleans locals — the kind of place where your kid can become a regular and the barber remembers what cut they got last time. For families on Royal Street, Esplanade, or just inside the Quarter's edges, having a dependable barber nearby is worth more than a Yelp-famous spot you have to drive to.
