A "Real" Haircut

Today, after a great morning in church, then a wonderful (2 hour) lunch with a group from church at Cafe Brazil, Mira was VERY excited to get a haircut at an actual salon! Most of the followers here know that I've given Mira a few haircuts already, but this was her first by a professional.

We went to Cool Cuts 4 Kids - one of those great places that has airplanes and cars for the kids to sit in, DVD's to watch, and stickers to search for in order to get the kids to look right where they're supposed to. The stylist, Juliet, was super-fun and sweet and was magical when it came to handling a child while cutting their hair!

Mira chose Dora as her DVD and was delighted to find Word World stickers all over her bright red car chair. At the end, since it was her first trip their, she got to pick out a bow - I do believe she picked out the tackiest one available. Oh, well - she was pleased. And, the icing on the cake was a sucker on our way out the door!

We own three point-and-shoot cameras, but we didn't have a single one on us when we arrived at the salon. The pictures were taken with my phone, and although I'm not complaining about the quality - their pretty good - my phone tends to wig out when I try to snap too many pics too fast. So, it froze up on me, and refused me a final, "after" picture.

It's really not that big of a deal, since she only received a trim with some light layering to "make those curls POP!" as the stylist so energetically declared. So, it's doubtful you could even tell a difference (other than that awful, awful bow which is probably better left un-documented!).

She had so much fun, she'll be asking for another haircut before the week's up!
