A Fresh Cut Before Christmas on the Pecos

Christmas on the Pecos runs from November 27 through December 31, 2026, and it's closed on December 24. If a night out there, family photos or a holiday dinner is on your calendar, book your cut a few days before so it looks fresh and settled. Book early, too: I work solo, and the season only has so many open slots.

Here's how my calendar lines up with the season, including the Saturdays and the $20 holiday fee.

01 / THE DATES

Season and shop, side by side.

Know both calendars.

The event's season: November 27 to December 31, 2026, closed December 24. Times and tickets are on the event's own site, christmasonthepecos.com, so check there before you plan the night.

My schedule doesn't change for the season. I cut Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, plus Saturday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Wednesday and Sunday are closed, December included.

Opening night is Friday, November 27. Thanksgiving lands the day before, Thursday, November 26, and I'm open at weekday hours that day with the holiday fee added.

Each one runs 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

03 / TIMING THE CUT

A few days before the photos.

Fresh, not just-cut.

For family photos, aim for a cut a few days ahead of the shoot. The edges have time to relax, and it still looks crisp in the pictures.

Heading out to Christmas on the Pecos with family, with dinner after? Any cut works; what matters is the slot. Pick the date of the outing, then work back to the nearest open day on Booksy.

Beard in the photos? The Signature Cut ($65, 45 min) adds a beard trim or line-up and a hot towel finish. For the full treatment before a big night, the Luxury Grooming Experience runs 50 min.

04 / CHRISTMAS WEEK

Christmas week, plainly.

One fee, on the day itself.

Christmas Day is a Friday this year. I'm open at weekday hours, and appointments that day carry the $20 holiday fee. The days around it are regular days at regular prices.

December 24 is a Thursday, and the event is closed that night. If you're hoping for a cut that day, text me first at (575) 706-3095.

December 31 is a Thursday as well, the season's last night. New Year's Day is Friday, January 1, 2027, with the holiday fee on that day.

Driving in from Whites City, Otis or Happy Valley? The visit page has the drive times, directions and the full hours.

PLAN YOUR VISIT
05 / THE WHOLE FAMILY

Everyone in the picture.

One trip, several cuts.

Kids are welcome, and they book from the same menu as everyone else, starting with the Essential Haircut at $50. If the whole family is going in the photo, book each person as a separate appointment on Booksy, one after another, so it's a single trip to the shop.

Beards show up in family pictures more than people expect. The Signature Cut keeps the beard in line with the haircut, so nobody looks half finished next to the tree.

Plan the cuts first and the outing second. The event runs about five weeks, but each of those weeks has only so many open times in my chair.

Payment is the same as any visit: cash, card, Zelle or Cash App, after the service. Holiday plans move around; when yours do, cancel through Booksy early, since Booksy can charge a fee for no-shows and late cancellations.
