Hair designs, from Hobbs.
A design is a line or a curve shaved into the shortest part of a fade. I cut them in Carlsbad, 70 miles west of Hobbs on US 62/180, about 80 minutes away (OpenStreetMap routing), and on Booksy it's an add-on at $10 on top of your haircut.
Since you're not around the corner, here's how to pair it with the cut and how to get the most out of it before it grows out.
BOOK A CUT WITH A DESIGN| Fact | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Under 18 | 28.8% | Census ACS 2023 |
| Ages 20–34 | 23.4% | Census ACS 2023 |
| Minutes to the shop | 80 | OpenStreetMap routing |
Pair it with the cut you came for.
On Booksy, hair design is listed as an add-on. Book the Essential Haircut or the Signature Cut, then add Hair design from the add-on list, or book the Luxury Grooming Experience, which already includes a basic design.
Tell me where you want it and how bold. A saved photo works; so does pointing at the spot above your ear.
Kids ask, and so do their older cousins.
Census ACS 2023 puts 28.8% of Hobbs under 18 and another 23.4% between 20 and 34, so a good share of the heads coming over from Lea County are young ones. Two of the designs on my hair designs page were cut on kids: a freestyle curve from temple to ear, and a set of lines above the ear. Add the design to a child's haircut booking the same way you'd add it to your own.
Photograph it before the drive home.
Designs sit where the hair is shortest, so they're sharpest the day they're cut and soften from there. From Hobbs you won't be back for a touch-up next week, so take your photos in Carlsbad while it's crisp, and decide at home whether the next visit gets the same design or a new one.
