Kids' haircuts, from Roswell.
Kids get the same fades and tapers in my chair that adults do, cut at my shop in Carlsbad. From Roswell that's 76 miles down US 285, around 92 minutes with a kid in the back seat (OpenStreetMap routing).
Here's how parents make the trip count: one slot per child, booked in a row, and a photo of the cut they want.
BOOK A KIDS' CUT| Fact | Value | Source |

One in four, so bring them all.
A quarter of Roswell is under 18, 25% by the Census (ACS 2023), so many homes have more than one head to cut. Booksy has no separate kids' service, which means each child books a regular haircut in their own slot. Pick slots that touch each other, put yours on the end, and the whole family is done in one visit instead of two drives.
I work alone, so the kid who was nervous last time sees the same face this time.
The Essential, with a picture.
For most kids the Essential Haircut is the booking: $50, with 40 min held on Booksy. A low fade with a line-up, a taper under a longer top, or curls over a skin fade all fit inside that time. Lines cut in are a $10 add-on.
Save a photo on your phone before you leave Roswell. Showing me the cut beats describing it, especially with a kid who isn't sure what to call it.
