Haircut from Snip-its

A few days ago I took Arin to Snip-its for a haircut since they sent a Grand Opening coupon in the mail. I have to say, I'm not impressed and I don't think I'll be going back. They have little tvs and stuff that plays a TEN MINUTE video of stupid stuff that then automatically shuts off... and the waiting area has a little table with a few puzzles on it... and when you check out there is a price machine that gives little 1cent pieces of plastic junk, etc... and after ten minutes this really loud annoying buzzer goes off and keeps going off every minute afterward, I don't know if they all have this or my lady was just trying to be super "efficient". And she missed a bunch of long pieces of hair and the 'fade' she said she was doing... yeah not so much a fade, even after I made her go back and shorten it. Maybe I'm over reaching here ... is a military-type fade haircut THAT difficult to understand and accomplish?


I guess the stylists at Snip-its must have a lot of experience with kids, but the lady who cut Arin's hair wasn't especially friendly or experienced with toddlers it seemed, the only thing she did that I haven't seen before was be comfortable enough to grab his head and keep it pointed where she wanted it. Maybe for little girls they are good, but I think I'm just going to get a set of new 'shears' for Arin and do it all super short from now on. :)

Here's pics though! Isn't he handsome, even with the crappy uneven haircut?

Arin's first haircut

This morning Arin got his first haircut. He is a few days short of 6 months old, but his hair was everywhere! In his eyes, over his ears, and forming little rats nests in the back... so it was time for a trim. He was born with dark hair like mommy, but it has since grown in blond... so now that its short you can really see a difference. I think he looks older (and definitely blond), aww! I am also not the best hairdresser, but hopefully in a few days it will grow in and look a little more even. It's hard to cut a wiggly baby's hair (oh well, it'll grow back)! :) Here are a bunch of pictures from the big event:

Look how long that hair is! Shaggy. :)


And a view down the top, look at that hair!
Uh oh, here's the very first snip!
'What are you doing to me mommy!?'

This is how he amused himself during the first half of the cut:

At the end of the cut, this was a bunch that I have saved:
'Why can I feel such a cool breeze on my head mommy?'

'Do I look handsome?'
'Where'd all my hair go??'

Why joo takin' so many pictures?
Guess he's happy with the change...

'Am I so handsome or what?'
