![]() At nuBest Salon, stylist Glen Davenport has a signature finish to many young girls' cuts, with heart-shaped braids in the back. “Girls sometimes ask for Elsa braids,” she says. While Jennifer Belsito, the owner of North Country Kids Family Hair Salon in Miller Place, says, “Not much has really changed,” when it comes to girls’ hair, she notes an increased interest in braids inspired by “Disney movies.” Her daughter, Zoey Gliksman, who runs Belsito’s other salon, Kid’s Cut in Centereach, in part, credits the movie “Frozen” for the trend. Heart-shaped braids are a signature of hair stylist Glen Davenport at nuBest Salon and Spa in Manhasset. “When I was his age, I wore my hair like that, though recently I decided to go for the bald look,” says Harris. CJ rocks a mid-skin fade with a blow-out on the top. Craig Harris, 39, also does the father-son visit to that barbershop with his boy, CJ, 8, but they embrace different looks. ![]() This is the case with Nicholas Ramdhanie, 7, and his father, Rohan, 54, of Farmingville, who both get high fades at Three Jays. While professional athletes are certainly hair influencers, sometimes it boils down to just one person: Dad. Nicholas Ramdhanie, 7, of Farmingville, at Three Jay’s Barber Shop in Farmingville. “He decided he wanted one too and he’s right up in the mullet situation now,” says mom. He admits, “It does get a little itchy on my neck sometimes.” His little brother, Westyn, 7, fell under the mullet spell soon after Colton started sporting his. Colton says, “I just feel more athletic with it, and it feels more comfortable. He has free range with what he wants to do with his hair,” adding that the fact that “most of the lacrosse players have mullets,” may have been a factor. His mom, Nancy Dunn, says, “He had a bleach-blond faux hawk before and he decided he wanted a mullet out of nowhere. Recently he sheared one for Colton Dunn, 11, of Farmingdale, who wrestles and plays football, Lacrosse and basketball. And now it’s cool,” he says, though he admits, “I’ve been cutting off a lot of older people’s mullets.” It almost started as an ironic thing, and then kids started doing it because people in sports were doing it, and then they see other kids doing it. Tristan Estes, a master barber there, explains, “Mullets are back in a very weird way. Over at The Holy Black Barber Shop in Lindenhurst there’s been a run on, for real, mullets, that oft-maligned business in the front, party in the back style. Jordan Lass, 10, had the logo of his youth hockey team, the Arrows, carved into his hair at MadMen Barbershop. ![]() “We’re a big hockey family and I’m fine with it,” says his mom, Jackie Lass, who happens to be a manager of the team. He recently had the logo of his youth hockey team, the Arrows, snipped into his hair. Generally, says Dennehy, “clients 12 and under are getting cuts that have a lot to do with sports.” Some, like Jordan Lass, 10, of Wantagh, are all about team spirit. Hair types can determine how the Edgar turns out, but mostly, notes Dennehy, “The style is really directed toward the front of the face the weight of the hair is mopped forward,” and it’s particularly dramatic on curly-haired types. Barbers at MadMen call the cut “Quema,” which in Spanish translates to “burning.” But, says Dennehy, “It really means ‘lit,” (in old school lingo, “hip.”) Originally popular with Mexican teens and Latino men, the craze reportedly was spawned by Edgar Martínez, a Seattle Mariners baseball player. There’s an eye-popping array of boys’ styles these days including dramatic fades, combovers (not the bad kind), mullets (yes, still thriving believe it or not), faux-hawks and a cut dubbed the “Edgar,” named after a famous sports player, reigning supreme.Īt MadMen Barbershops in Williston Park and Wantagh, co-owner Edward Dennehy says, “75% of all kids’ haircuts are a variation on the Edgar,” which is a cross between a fade and a bowl cut. The "Edgar" is the most popular cut among teens at MadMen Barbershops. Boys’ club: Cuts like Dad's, famous athletes' By clicking Sign up, you agree to our privacy policy.
