First Haircut

In May, Morgan turned 15 months and it was time for her first haircut. We headed over to CookieCutters for the fun experience. Morgan immediately picked out the pink car to sit in and a Dora video to watch. She was in a good mood and cooperative. Jealous? You should be.


I failed to get any pictures of the cutting because Kaylyn was NOT in a good mood and NOT cooperative. She was in the backroom corner having a temper tantrum about getting a haircut. When I came back out, Morgan's cut was about done and they were starting to style it.
It didn't turn out as what I expected but Morgan was happy - and for a first haircut, that's the goal.

To end the experience, as I started to check out Morgan, Kaylyn decided she did want a haircut. The stylists tried to tell me we'd have to wait as a walk-in. But I looked at the clock. Our appointment was at 4 pm and it was 4:05 pm. I pushed and they backed down. So we sat Kaylyn in the chair. The stylist started picking through her hair and declared she had lice and that we had to leave. Turns out - it wasn't lice, it was dandruff. But it was a very hectic, scary, frustrating 24 hours as we figured that out.

Because of all the issues we had at Cookie Cutters, tomorrow's haircut will be done by a friend who is a stylist (and less expensive). We'll try to recreate the experience a little by bringing a portable DVD player to distract the girls during their cuts.
