    we were charged about $5 for DD's first cut. Went back a few months later for fringe and got charged $15!!!! AND she botched it! And to make it worse, it was the week of Christmas! Now letting DD grow hair out and will be cutting her fringe myself!

    I was only talking to my mother about this today - i went out yesterday to get DD#1 fringe cut and i was quoted $15 !!! - imagine getting all 3 girls fringe cut - thats $45 !!!!. Anyway,went across the rd to a salon that i thought would charge the earth,but she only charged $5......
    Im the same as you - i wouldnt feel confident cutting it myself. Shop or ring around.....its going to grow back again and you will be in the same possi in a few weeks/months time. Good luck!

    we took ds to just cuts (it wasn't his first, he had at least 5 hair cuts before he was 1! thats how much hair he has since he was born ) Anyway, the lady said they do kids 1st haircuts for free and then you have your 7 day guarentee, so if your not happy with it, you can go back within 7 days and they will fix it. Also, they had a dvd player in there, she put the wiggles on and ds sat there the whole time and didn't even move an inch when she cut his hair.

    They charge $13 for children up to 5 years old (i think)

    I understand cutting a girl's fringe at home, but what about little boy's hair? Has anyone had a go? DS has these bits over his ears....he looks like Mike Brady....

    If I had a son then I don't think it would be as much of an issue as I would just get the clippers and shave it. I don't want to do that with DD.
    Thankfully the lady who is doing it tonight only lives a few houses away and works from home. That's the other advantage, she can do times to suit the client.

    Webster and Wood do it for $5.95 if they are under 12 months old and $10 if they are between 1-2 years old. My first haircut for DS was $17.95 at Stephan !!!!!!
