With summer just getting started, a lot of parents around Paradise Valley Village are stopping by Classic Barbershop to get their kids cleaned up for vacations, pool days, or just to stay cool in the Phoenix heat. Whether it’s a quick trim before heading to Paradise Valley Park, a cleanup before summer camp, or a fresh style for weekend family outings, a great children’s haircut can make all the difference.
Getting your child a haircut shouldn’t feel like a gamble or a hassle. At Classic Barbershop, we’ve been helping families from neighborhoods near Tatum and Cactus for years. Some of our clients started coming here before they hit double digits. Now they’re in college and still coming back.
Whether it’s your child’s first haircut, a mid-summer cleanup, or a fresh look for a special occasion, here’s what local parents should know before stopping in.
