Looks like Kelly Ripa has found a new career path.

The talk show host, 49, displayed her impressive scissor skills as she cut son Joaquin’s hair on Tuesday’s episode of “Live with Kelly and Ryan.”

“I think I have a future in $500 haircuts,” she joked, adding that her work came at a serious price: “I cut my hands in three places. Did not realize I was bleeding all over the place!”

“Joaquin and I have the same head of hair,” Ripa continued. “It is wiry, it’s thick, it’s dense, it’s got lots of layers, he’s got cowlicks. So it’s not the easiest hair to cut.”

And the 17-year-old teen gave a thumbs-up to his mom’s hairdressing prowess.

“She did a really good job,” he said after joining Ripa on camera. ‘I’m really happy. I feel much more aerodynamic now. The only thing is, I turn on my phone and I have the Face ID, and it doesn’t recognize me!”

Added Joaquin, “We might not have to go to the barbershop ever again. This is a game changer.”

Ripa has acted as the family’s hairstylist throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and admitted that she’s not sure when any of the Ripa-Consuelos crew will be heading to a salon.

“I’ve cut every member of our family’s hair now, during quarantine,” she said. “Because I’m still not brave enough to head into a hair salon or have anybody come to the house. I’m just too afraid. I just feel like there’s just too many unknowns, still. I’m very afraid, by nature, of infectious disease.”
