Kids' haircuts, from Hobbs.
Kids sit in my chair the same as adults do, and my chair is in Carlsbad: 70 miles west of Hobbs on US 62/180, about 80 minutes (OpenStreetMap routing) with a car full of kids who are behaving.
Here's how parents from Lea County can book more than one child at once, and why a Saturday morning is the time to aim for.
BOOK A KID'S CUT| Fact | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Under 18 | 28.8% | Census ACS 2023 |
| Kids in K–12 school | 8,048 | Census ACS 2023 |
| Minutes to the shop | 80 | OpenStreetMap routing |
Book the siblings together.
Hobbs is young. Census ACS 2023 puts 28.8% of the city under 18, against 22.6% in Carlsbad, and counts about 8,048 kids enrolled in K–12 there. That's a lot of households with more than one head to cut.
Booksy has no kids' service, so each child gets a regular haircut booking. Book them back to back, and add your own cut to the run if you want one. One drive, every head done.

Book this serviceSaturday from Hobbs.
Saturday I'm open 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Leave Hobbs early enough for the first slots and you're home for lunch, with nobody tired yet.
If a kid has a photo of the cut they want, bring it. For lines cut in, the hair design add-on is $10.
From Hobbs, with kids.
Can I book two or three kids in a row?+
Yes. Book each one a separate haircut on Booksy, one after the other, and text me at (575) 706-3095 if the slots don't line up.
Is there a kids' price?+
No. Kids book the regular haircut services at the Booksy price, $50 for the Essential Haircut.
What if my kid is nervous about the clippers?+
I work alone, so they'll see the same barber every trip. That familiarity helps more than anything.
Where can I see kids' cuts you've done?+
The kids' haircuts page has photos from my chair.
