I've trimmed Eli's bangs, and I've buzzed a Mohawk or two in the past, but he's never had a real, paid-for (by a trained person, not just mom) haircut.
I decided to change that this afternoon as his hair has been looking, at best, messy for a few weeks now. The poor kid has some weird hair-growth patterns which, I'm sure, weren't helped by Mommy's untrained shears. His hair wasn't long, but it was unkempt. So I decided to go all out and try the daddy of barbershops for kids,
Pigtails & Crewcuts.
They have cool 'chairs' for the kids to sit in, and the stylists are trained in cutting as kids are moving. In addition, they have a HUGE play area to wait in, complete with a train table with all of the bells and whistles. Literally. Eli could not get enough of making the table 'make noise'. As far as the haircut procedure went, Eli really ate it up, though I don't think he needed all the hoop-la...he's pretty used to sitting still for me while I trim here and there. Regardless, he got ten minutes of "The Bee Movie" and some animal crackers out of the deal.
