I love going to the salon & getting my haircut. There's just something about having someone work with your hair - it's very relaxing to me....but how do you convey this to a 2 year old? Elise went to Sweet and Sassy to get her first cut & it didn't go especially smooth.
Walking into the salon...
We tried having Elise sit on my lap in the chair - but she wasn't very certain about this new experience. Notice: thumb in mouth.
Poor thing...we just wanted to trim the ends a bit to even out her hair. The stylist commented on how she had such beautiful hair for only being two - it's really grown long. Before we went to get it cut, I assured John that we were just trimming it. He likes his girls with long hair.
Finally, Grandma June had the magic trick...she held Elise & had her cut while standing up and hearing a story about the stuffed animals in the shop....Thanks, Mom. That would have been a bit harrowing without you there.
All done! A few tears later & it was all over. She got a lollipop for her first cut...but we may need to come up with something more compelling the next time so that it holds her attention during the cut.
