What Are the Best Kids Haircut Options in Las Vegas and Henderson?

Written By Mathew Melendez

Finding the right haircut for your child can be a challenge — especially if they’re nervous in the chair or picky about their style. Whether it’s for a school photo, family event, or just keeping your kid looking sharp, parents all across Las Vegas and Henderson are asking:
What’s the best kids haircut style for my child?

As a barber serving the Vegas and Henderson area, I specialize in cuts that are not only stylish but also age-appropriate, quick, and easy to maintain.

Top Kids Haircut Styles in Las Vegas & Henderson

Here are some of the most requested and reliable styles for boys under 13:

Kids low taper haircut with a textured fringe at a Las Vegas barbershop, clean blend around the ears with a styled, natural top — perfect for an easy-to-maintain school cut.

Low Taper with Textured Fringe

A clean, subtle fade around the ears and neckline — perfect for a neat look that works at school or on the field. It's timeless and easy to grow out.

Youth burst fade haircut with defined curls and a mini frohawk, done at a Henderson barbershop — modern and stylish for kids with textured hair.

Burst Fade with Curls or Frohawk

Ideal for kids with textured or curly hair, this cut keeps personality in the style while maintaining shape and structure. It’s modern, fresh, and looks great on younger heads.

Classic kids combover haircut with a crisp side part and a light taper, perfect for formal events or everyday school wear in Las Vegas.

Classic Combover/Sidepart

This is a go-to for younger kids who want something clean but not too trendy. The side part offers a polished, preppy look and is easy to style daily with just a small amount of product.

Skin Fade with Line-Up

For the kid who wants a grown-up style, the skin fade with a sharp edge-up is one of the most popular kids' haircuts in Las Vegas. Crisp, confident, and cool — just like dad’s.

What Makes a Good Kids Haircut?

A great kids haircut isn’t just about the style — it’s about the experience. I make sure every child in my chair feels relaxed, safe, and confident from start to finish. With a calm atmosphere, clear communication, and kid-friendly service, your child leaves feeling fresh and smiling.

When to know your kid is ready for a more complex hair?

If it’s your child’s first haircut, I usually recommend starting with a light fade/taper instead of a skin fade/taper. Skin fades require the clipper to get much closer to the scalp, which can cause irritation — especially for young, sensitive skin. Plus, a light fade is faster and easier for kids who are still learning how to sit still during a cut.

It’s important to set the right expectations early. Your child is adjusting to a new environment, the sound of clippers, and the feeling of vibration for the first time — all of which can feel overwhelming.

As they become more comfortable with the barbershop experience and familiar with their barber, they'll naturally be able to sit longer and tolerate more detailed cuts like a skin fade, burst fade, or custom line-up.

Pro tip: A little incentive goes a long way.
Sometimes it takes two or three lollipops (or a favorite treat) to help keep young clients calm and still during their haircut — and that’s perfectly normal!
