Kids' Haircuts in Flemington, NJ
Kids' Cuts, Without the Standoff
A child's first haircut is either a story the family tells for years or a fight nobody wants to repeat. Matthew Paul has cut enough kids in Flemington to know the difference is patience and speed, in that order.
Kids' haircuts are $20 and take about 30 minutes, with room to stop, reset and try again. Parents sit close by, and the clippers get introduced before they get switched on.
First haircuts, done gently
Matthew works slowly with younger children, shows them the clippers first, and keeps the cut simple so it is over before anyone runs out of patience.
School and sports cuts
Clean taper, short back and sides, or a simple scissor cut — the shapes that pass a school dress code and still look intentional a month later.
Teen fades
Older kids who want a skin fade or a line-up get the same work Matthew gives adults, at the same $20 kids' price.

What age do kids' haircuts start?
Whenever the parents decide the hair is ready — often around the first birthday, sometimes later. There is no minimum age, just a shorter service and more patience.
How do you handle a nervous child?
Bring them in for a look first if you like, and book a time when the shop is quiet — early on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning is the calmest window. Matthew talks them through each step and stops if it is getting to be too much.
Do parents get a cut too?
Plenty do. A lot of Flemington dads book back-to-back appointments so one trip covers the whole family, and the $10 first-haircut offer applies to whoever is new.
