First Professional Haircut

I was more than a little nervous about Zachary’s first haircut. My neighbor’s would tell me horror stories about how their son would scream and cry and I was not looking forward to it. Matt and I had even tried to delay the inevitable by giving him impromptu home haircuts. Looking back at it I don’t know what I was so worried about. In fact we would have a lot more cute pictures if we had gone sooner. Zachary’s hair needed to be cut by a professional for a long time.

We ended up taking him to carnival cuts in the mall because that was the only place that we both knew that we had seen kids in. Matt usually gets his cut at a place at work and I was not paying salon prices for Zachary’s haircut. Plus we thought the atmosphere would help. The hairdresser was really good at her job.

After she set him in the car and put his apron on she gave him a sucker. Immediately I thought to myself, “What is she thinking? Zach is going to end up sucking on a hair pop!” But I didn’t say anything because she was the professional and I am glad now that I did not. Not only did Zach do wonderful and not cry once but he didn’t get a single hair on his sucker. She was also done in like twelve seconds. I swear I blinked and it was done. The mad face shone here was the worst part of the whole experience and that was because he did not like the sound of the trimmer. My little baby looks so grown up now however that is ok because I think he is even cuter.
