Haircut Gone Wild
Chloe’s hair has been looking quite raggedy these days, so we launched off for her first ever haircut this morning! Not knowing were to go, I took her to a kids haircut place in Pasadena, equipped with princess murals on the wall, Cindarella on the tube, and ride-on toys for seats. Cute, I thought. But I was deceived! Evil hair cuttery lurked below the surface…
There was no picture-taking to be had because Chloe would only agree to the process if she sat in my lap. I’d be nervous too if some stranger came at me with scissors, which she knows emphatically she is never allowed to touch. But no problem, it was a bonus snuggling opportunity, although I’m now covered in wispy blonde hairs.
CHOP. CHOP. CHOP. HACK. HACK. HACK.
Ten snips and they said, “That’ll be $16.95.” Apparently I had blinked and the haircut was over. Seriously, that’s all you’re going to do? Couldn’t you angle the cuts a bit so it doesn’t look so straight across?” “Oh, ok.”
So now she looks like a phantom little brother went to town on her hair, and it cost about a dollar a snip. Still cute? Of course she is, but geez! I crack up every time I look at her hair. The lovely slant to the bangs and the zig zag cuts over the ears are very avant garde. Maybe I’ll get her a beret and some pencil pants to complete the picture. Audry Hepburn, eat your heart out!

Oh my gosh — the hair. So cute! I just did that same thing to Sophia this morning. Her bangs have been annoyingly in her eyes for too long now, so I went at her with the scissors. Unfortunately, I have no one to blame for her hilarious pixie cut slanty bangs but myself!
Cute shot of the Chloster! Sophia can’t wait to see her this weekend!
Ha! I’m all for paying for a good haircut, but there are a lot of kids shops out there with people that have no formal training, from what I can tell of the results.
Christine just cut the boys hair and it came out pretty good.
