There is a place here that specializes in children's haircuts so I decided to take her there. I was very nervous because Sasha can be a bit high strung and easily upset, especially when it comes to strangers. She's fine with strangers if they keep their distance but once they try to get too close to her or touch her, she gets a bad case of stranger anxiety. So when I called and made the appointment I asked them to make sure that the person who does her hair is very patient.
We arrived late because I got lost. Let's not talk about that though. The ladies at the children's salon were very nice, however, and didn't make me cancel my appointment. I brought Cassie along with us so she could take pictures.
They had these neat little seats shaped like cars, with steering wheels and everything. Sasha got a really hot little red Mercedes Benz convertible, and she really liked it. Lately she's loved toy cars. Sasha did not consider the hair stylist to be threatening. She didn't smile for her, but she didn't cry either. She was very neutral, which was still better than I hoped for! I tried to make her feel calm by offering her sips of juice, and the lady offered her a sucker but she didn't care for suckers. The salon had little tv's at each haircut station, with a dvd player. The lady put in a Baby Einstein video, and Sasha was captivated. Once she put the video on, Sasha didn't have a care in the world. She watched the video and we were free to cut away.
We mostly cut her bangs so they don't hang in her face, and straightened the back out. It didn't take long at all.
And the final result. Aww how cute! Just look at those big blue eyes.
Once we were done with the haircut, they saved Sasha's hair in a little bag and made a little "First Haircut" certificate for her. They put a ribbon in her hair and took a polaroid picture to put on the certificate. They gave her a balloon, some suckers, and let her pick a toy from their little toy treasure chest. She picked a mini slinky.
On the way out, Sasha saw a display stand full of sunglasses. Did I mention that glasses are one of her obsessions? She got so excited when she saw all those sunglasses, so we let her look at them. She posed for Cassie and the camera just perfectly, with her new haircut, some sunglasses, and a Jeep.
Isn't it cute? She is just too cool for words!
I had to get the sunglasses :)
