This is me, getting a haircut...IN MY KITCHEN!! I am so lucky. The fabulous woman who has done my hair since I was small, comes to my home to give me a haircut. She owned her own salon for many years and after she sold that business, she worked in another salon. When she got tired of that scene she decided to do home visits. Now, once a month, she rolls up with all of her supplies and gives my boys and I a trim.
I will be the first to admit that I do miss the appeal of going to a salon and walking out with a new look. But, given the choice of finding someone to watch the kids, finding the right hour between nursing, chauffering, and napping OR having her come to me and get the boys taken care of too, I choose the latter every time.
Haircut day has been met with some resistance in the past. I have seen full-blown freak outs over haircuts. I believe it is because they don't want to stop playing for 5 minutes, because once they are in the chair it is all fun and games. Now that they are older, haircut days are becoming more exciting. B has realized that he has some creative input as to what his hair will look like. E typically wants the same thing done. However, he always just gets a tiny trim because longer hair looks good on him and I am not ready to say goodbye to his curls.
It is a truly happy day when Chris comes over. We all get fresh hair cuts and I didn't have to wait in a salon or pay top dollar for a two minute child hair cut. Please don't ever, EVER retire!
