First Haircut -- and First Haircut 2

The girls were born with a lot of hair.  Of course a day must come when that hair has to be cut.  Who knew it would be one night when I was giving them baths.  While it was wet.  Too short.  I couldn't share these at the time, because it was very sad.  Mommy does not have a future as a hair stylist.   At least I only cut the bangs!  And it grew out.  I inflicted this shortness of bangs on the girls last November.

They both had some long tails of hair on either side in the back.  The middle sections in the back weren't going to catch up, and it really needed cut.

So when I finally accepted that it was time to trim up their hair all over, we took them to a professional, to get it done properly.  I sure wasn't going to risk doing a too-short bowl cut on more than just their bangs!

We went to The Hair and Shampoo Center because they advertised a certificate for a child's first hair cut, as well as a special room with special chairs.  The east side location we went to had a room painted like an ocean, with animal chairs.  Each station had a dvd player - the girls watched Elmo.  Unfortunately, my camera's batteries died after one picture.  We had to resort to pictures with cell phones, which didn't all come out well.

It was actually a painless and tear-free experience for all of us.  And yes, we got certificates and snippets of hair as well, to commemorate their first ocean haircuts!
