Cool Cuts for Kids

Ethan got his first hair cut at a salon this last Saturday (09/26/09). I usually cut his hair from birth until last August (the last time i cut his hair). Since my mom and mother in law ask me to have a different hair style for Ethan, I'd figure to take him to a salon. I booked Ethan at 10:00AM. We had to make an appointment, or otherwise, the waiting would be quite long. Ethan's name was called up. We sat him on this car chair with TV on in front of him. The hair stylist came and forced to buckle the seat belt, Ethan started crying and struggled. Then the hair stylist forced to button the cloth cover and Ethan struggled and cried even more. We didn't force him any further. We let Ethan go and I tried to calm him down. Cool Cuts is specially designed for kids. The salon is designed with car and train chairs for the kids to sit on while they have their hair cut. They have TV in front of the each chair. They also have TV/game sets and Thomas The Train table set on the waiting area.

Anyway, then another hair stylist came and approached me, she’s much nicer than the 1st one. I told her that Ethan needed to see someone else got his or her hair cut 1st since this was Ethan’s 1st hair cut at the salon. She agreed to let Ethan watch other kids got their hair cut. After a while, I decided to try Ethan again and called the nicer hair stylist. I told her that I think Ethan would be more comfortable to sit on my lap rather than having a hard of time trying to sit Ethan down and buckle him. Ethan does not like to be forced and buckled up. So i sat on the chair and had Ethan on my lap and it worked! It took probably about 10 minutes to cut his hair and we did it. I was so very happy and delighted with the result. Ethan also understands that he got a new hair cut and he looks handsome.

Very good job Ethan. Way to go!
