Nick Mazzo, 18, a member of James Caldwell High School's Class of 2010, headed off to Monmouth University in West Long Branch on Sunday. "My mom usually cuts my hair, but she has stitches," said Mazzo, who stopped in to have Donna Lacapra do the job at Leonard's Barber Shop on Hanford Place.

With supplies purchased, book bags packed and first-day outfits planned, one of the remaining items on parents' back-to-school to-do lists over the weekend was getting their children haircuts.

The Caldwells Patch visited two Caldwell barber shops and a salon that specializes in children's hair.
