DD is in need of a haircut. Her fringe is almost in her eyes. I've started looking around at hairdressers and didn't realise it could be so expensive! On average it looks like it'll cost me about $12! I had heard that most hairdressers to first haircuts for free for just a few dollars but it appears that this isn't the case!
I would cut it myself but due to the amount that 1 year olds move around (she turns 1 on the weekend), I'm scared of it turning out crappy. I could try to do it when she's asleep but I still don't feel confident doing it myself.
Can you please tell me about your expeience with your child's first haircut and how old they were, did you go to a hairdresser or do it yourself? If you went to a hairdresser, how much did you pay?
most of the salons around here do it for $3. What you do.. head into a salon and ask their apprentice to do it, most of the time u can get it done for free. $12 is beyond rediculous.
If not, if you are comfortable enough, do it yourself. Use the top of the eyebrow as your guide and take it nice and slow as kiddies tend to move alot. Cut it just above the eyebrow. Its better that you get practice doing it yourself as kids fringes grow very quickly.
The youngest i have ever done, he was about 1.5-2 years old and that was a full head cut.
I got DS' cut at a hairdresser on the weekend and it was $12 - he is 3.
They go by age, so a 1yo would be cheaper but I dont know how much.
DS had his first haircut at 18 months and I got my Aunty to do it, but he cried and moved around way too much. He did the same thing the first time at the hairdresser too, but hes been another 2 times since then and settled down a lot.
I dont think Id expect too much from the first time, they dont know whast going on.
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!
First haircut
