On the recommendation of a friend, we decided to forgo the typical kid salon and take the Mini-Mister to a proper barber. She's taken her son (a friend of Mini-Mister's) to "Heads up" Barber Shop a couple times now and has been pleased each time. This barber shop is a total throwback, and it's perfect. Babies get their first cut free (yay free!) and a cute certificate to mark the occasion. Frank, the owner, even saved us some hair, and gave the little one his very first comb (a big fat win in the baby distraction game). We were very pleased with everything, from the keepsakes, to the haircut, to the extremely down to earth nature of the two people working while we were there. I can honestly say that it really took the sting out of my baby's first haircut. The loss of hair that I was inexplicably attached to. Oh man, what a sap.
I took pictures (you're shocked, I know).
So, umm, before -
The rest -
In case it isn't obvious, he was a champ! There was not a tear shed by either of us. The only thing that made it a little challenging was that he kept wanting to see what was going on!
Oh and as if this place isn't super cool already, they're opening an ice cream shop in the next week or so. AN ICE CREAM SHOP! Be still my heart.
