First Haircuts

Our triplets finally received their first professional haircut last week (I emphasize finally because of the level of difficulty in finding the right moment to take them into public since they turned a year old). It was better than we expected. Of course, I would never do this on my own but we were lucky that grandparents and one fun aunt was able to juggle the entertainment, the photo shoot, and holding each of them while Mommy was making sure their first hairstyle was hip and easy to care for. I learned a few tips as well. DO make sure you have help when taking your multiples to the salon. DO choose your neighborhood Borics or Fantastic Sams or local cheap salon. There is a trend for specialty children hair salons popping up everywhere - they're very fun and cute but to pay for a haircut that a stylist would charge me - no way! Especially, since the time spent on a first haircut, especially for a toddler, is very brief and sometimes only the bangs are cut - why spend the money? Also, DO take before and after shots of your children so you can remember those adorable curls. Finally, your stylist should have an envelope or some kind of holder to contain those first clippings for their memory box.
