Silas's First Haircut

So today was the day.  Silas's first haircut day.  Be still my heart and my tears.  My mother has trimmed the kids hair before but there has never been like a full blown haircut for either of my kids.  His hair has been growing out of control the last few months and it became obvious recently that he needed a haircut and not just a trim.  We are talking full on mullet here people. 

We found a cute little salon named Pigtails and Crewcuts in Southlake.  They specialize in children's haircuts and have several locations around the United States.  When you first walk into the salon they have several chairs shaped like taxi cabs and fire trucks that are awesome for kids.  They also have a waiting area with a television, a train table, and a play kitchen.  Both of the kids immediately took to playing with all of their toys that they offered.   

I honestly expected this to be like a hellish torture for everyone involved.  Silas likes people in general and he is a shameless flirt, but when people get too close to him he has a tendency to freak out.  He did excellent though!  He looked mildly scared while it was happening but he didn't cry or fuss at all.  Tara was our stylist and she did an amazing job with him.  She was very friendly and helped Silas feel at ease while she was cutting his hair.

I would definitely recommend trying to make an appointment because they were busy today around lunch time and Silas sat down for his cut about 30 minutes after our scheduled appointment time.  Other than that, we were extremely pleased with our visit.  We got the first haircut package which included a lock of his hair and a photo in a commemorative booklet.  We will definitely recommend this salon to our friends with children.
