Today, Dylan became a man...

I have not been pleased with the only kids hair salon near us (only two cities away). The drive was longer than I liked, the price much higher than I liked and the "stylists" not up to par. Dylan has had his hair cut there twice and was fussy and squirmed while the hairdresser hacked away. The cut lasted about 5 minutes and set me back $18. The hairdresser was also kind of grouchy. I decided to try out a real BARBAR this time. A fellow mom posted the place she has taken her son IN Quincy, so I went on a whim today as Dylan's hair could almost handle a braid. Dylan was SO good in this grown up shop. He sat on my lap and was perfectly still the ENTIRE time! We were seated right away (I have always waited at the other place) and a young guy started with the razor as Dylan just hung out. He took about 10-15 minutes and then, a man who appeared to be the owner came over and took over. I think the young guy was still in training. The older guy then evened out Dylan's hair and cut and cut and cut... All the while Dylan just sitting there, not making a fuss. Personally I think he cut too much off the top, but I guess I didn't state clearly enough that I wanted it longer. At least it is a quality cut and cost $13, in addition to a bunch of gas I saved getting there. Yay!
