Haircuts @ home
Sunday, July 5, 2009 at 9:09PM Had the novelty of home haircuts today, but not by me. Hence the novely. Had no idea what to expect, hired the guy thro a local parents network, and as he cuts kids for free along with a parent, it seemed a good deal.
Fynn’s before shots …. I was so loath to cut it but figured it’s the end of rats nests, and the constant hair flipping and eating messes.
I went first, and the only record of it is Fynns …
Which tells an awful lot, yes? He wet it with a spraybottle, convinced me to do bangs again, and went to it. Slowly. Really slowly, and I’m not sure why? He seemed to know what he was doing, and had confidence, just a lot of checking/rechecking etc. Hope that’s not the case every time. It took almost two hours!! Hmm. Cheerful, lots of banter, lots of keeping Fynn from running off with scissors and turning on hair dryers, etc. I was just glad to get up. You’ll have to wait for an after pic on me, sorry.
Fynn was next.
He took to it well, with lots of shrieking every time the spray bottle came out. It was pleased squealing, not angry, thankfully.
He just couldn’t really sit still. After waiting 2 hours for me, he’d run out of interest and patience. Had I realized, M could have taken the boys outside, but we didn’t know how it would go. We put a video on the laptop and propped it on the washing machine, which helped somewhat. Next time …
He got a cute cut, but it could have been better, which the stylist agreed with but Fynn had no patience left to do more.
The best cut of the day was Douglas, who wasn’t even sure he wanted one. He said something offhand about a mohawk, and The stylist said sure, you have the perfect hair for a faux-hawk, and promptly, efficiently, and beautifully gave him one. Perhaps the 3rd time’s a charm? Either way, I’m pleased.
It suits him to a T … and he loves it. Yay for a non-mom haircut :).
Ready for summer, at last. We’ve had a great week, btw, with lots of work and lots of fun getting done. One major client site went live on Friday, yay for that. M took the boys one day, which was heaven … actually billed 6 hours that day. An impossibility on school days.
Summer is good, plans for the road trip/family time shaping up, and now to find a way to have a few days with just the 4 of us, searching out where to live next. Hard to have those plans be last in line, trying to get them fixed.
Now off to entertain be entertained by my company :).
