Last night, we finally decided to take Sam for a big girl haircut. Meri found a place in Fort Mill, SC, called Clipper Doodles, which even I have to admit is a fairly cute name for a children’s barbershop (or hair salon, whichever). We really weren’t expecting Sam to go in without a fight, but to our huge surprise she was a trooper and extremely well-behaved. Here she is before the party got underway, with a little bit of a deer-in-the-headlights initial reaction:
The lady cutting Sam’s hair was really good with her, moving around Sam’s head as she looked around rather than forcing her head into specific positions. It also helped that each station had a little TV and DVD player, so Sam got to watch that Go Diego show. I loved how cute she was with her hair pinned up on each side.
I’m really not sure whether she liked it or hated it, but she never complained once. It’s probably because this was entirely different from anything she’s experienced so far, and in those situations (e.g., the zoo, aquarium, kids she’s never met, etc.) her typical response is to quietly take it all in.
Here’s the finished product, too cute for words.
And, as all good haircuts should, it ended with a lollipop.
