"Amazing experience here for my son’s first haircut! Nate was exceptional - took his time and worked around a wiggling toddler. Super skilled and knows what he’s doing. The shop itself is also classy and full of small details that make for a really nice experience. Highly recommend!"
– Sarah R.
A typical kids’ haircut takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the style and how comfortable the child is during the appointment.
While walk-ins are welcome when we have availability, we highly recommend booking ahead. Scuttlebutt Barbershop gets busy, and reserving a time ensures you’ll get your preferred barber and avoid a wait. Click here to book your haircut now.
At Scuttlebutt, kids’ haircuts are all about patience, precision, and a laid-back vibe. Our barbers take the time to make each child feel comfortable while delivering a clean, stylish cut every parent can appreciate.
We use lightweight, gentle styling products that are safe for kids — nothing harsh or heavy. Just enough hold to keep things looking sharp without the fuss.
Yes — we offer a hot towel head shave as a $5 add-on to any haircut. Just mention it when booking or let your barber know in person.
Our barbers take the time to listen to your preferences and make recommendations based on your face shape, hair texture, and style goals.

"My son booked with Matty who was absolutely amazing! He had a bad haircut the day before, he totally fixed the cut and my son walked out beyond happy. He also took the time to explain what products to use and how best to style his hair. Highly recommend!"

"The shop is beautiful. Absolutely stunning, and a great experience. I also had the best haircut of my life with Kyle. It was the first time the cut looked exactly like what I had pictured in my head. Fantastic experience."

"I’ve been getting my hair cut here for 5+ years now and have never had a bad experience regardless of who cut my hair. I typically see Jake or Miki, and wouldn’t go anywhere else on the Seacoast. I got cut here before my wedding that’s how highly I think of their work."
