BEFORE
Today Matt and I took Mya to get her first haircut. I don't know why, but it has been something I have been dreading for weeks. I think it was a mixture of not wanting to admit my baby was growing up and not being quite sure what the final outcome would look like. I'm not a big fan of little girls with the infamous mullet. You know, business in front and party in back. I feared her haircut would look horrendous, and we'd be stuck with a 1980's rockstar for awhile.
But, the truth is, she really needed a haircut months ago. She has closely resembled Jon Bon Jovi for awhile now. I tried to trim it myself a few times. I think I did ok... not great. It was definitely a challenge with her wiggling around and trying to grab the scissors. But, we decided it was time to get her a real haircut done by a "professional." We decided to take her to Cartoon Cuts. It really is a genius idea. TVs in front of each station with cartoons playing, bright colored tables and chairs, a giant green elephant at the shampoo station, and free junky rewards at the end of the haircut keep the kids entertained.
I have heard horror stories about the littles ones screaming during their haircuts. Knowing Mya couldn't care less about the cartoons, I went supplied with her favorite fruit strips. She got a little nervous when the chair began to raise, but other than that she was a champ. The fruit strips worked miracles! She sat pretty still while getting her hair done. Honestly, it doesn't look much different. Now she just has a "shaped" mullet! Babysteps I guess! Overall it was a fairly fun experience. She even got pink glitter in her hair, a baggy of her hair, AND a first haircut certificate!
