In the past we've always done home haircuts; Gavin just didn't' have enough hair to justify going to a shop. We decided it was time to get a real, big boy haircut. As you can see he didn't like the kid-friendly environment of Snip-Its any better than the shower at home. He did, however, like the lollipop at the end (we can buy those and have them on hand for post-shower haircuts).
Before and After
Preoccupied with a bus, only temporarily.
Called for Daddy to hold his hand, like we were torturing him.
Definitely not a fan of the cape and/or the itchies from the cut hair.
We went on Christmas Eve and the place was dead. They said the 23rd there was a 2 hour wait so I guess we picked the right time to go. I will give kudos to Snip-Its! Although their prices were insane (we paid more for Gavin's haircut than we do for Jason's), they are totally kid friendly and have a very nice staff. They make note of how they cut your child's hair so you don't have to remember the next time you are there. They have movies for kids to watch, and toys to play with, and even a treat ticket you can use to get a treat when you're all done with your haircut. Seen how it was his first salon type haircut they gave us all the goodies to go with it as well (lock of hair, certificate, etc.). Thanks Snip-Its for doing your best to make this a positive experience.
Goodness, he just won't stop growing! I'm going to have to have a talk with him about that. :)
ReplyDeleteMan, I had no idea Snip-Its had such a handle on kiddie haircuts. It sounds like they do it up and then some.
Fun post. :)
