Harmony Barber Shop - first haircut

[swarley]

Has anyone done this? My son will be 26 months when we go and doesn't have much hair but I thought it would be fun to get a little trim while we are there. Mostly to trim up the hair around his ears and to take care of the mullet he is starting to get in the back.

The package comes with a certificate and Mickey ears and is around $20. They also give you a hair clipping. 

We've been talking about doing this for months and now I'm starting to second guess it.

We did! It was fun! DD wasn't super thrilled but our hair dresser was very fairy godmother-ish and she gave us a good little trim, stuck stickers all over DD, and we got a lock of hair, Mickey ears, and a certificate. Actually, my sister just did my nephew's there this week. It was fast in and out and it was worth it just for the ears, which are like $15. I figured I didn't have much to lose if it was horrible.

Yea, I'm just scared he is going to melt down, but like you said, we don't have much to lose. How old was your daughter?

Do it! We did this with DS. He cried a little bit at the beginning and then calmed down. He freaked out when they put the Mickey ears hat on him but I am so glad we did it.

We also scheduled DD for a regular haircut. When they were done they put it in a ponytail and put pixie dust in her hair. She loved it!

Ok, I'm going to book it! I'm trying to figure out the best time. About how long does it take? I need to figure that out so it doesn't interfere with our fastpasses! countthestars, curbsideprophet,

[countthestars]

I think it took like 15 minutes . You might have to be there 15 minutes early? I can't remember for sure. I would say that we were at the barber shop no longer than 45 minutes, likely even less than that!

[curbsideprophet]

I think we were there for 30-45 minutes total, but we were getting two haircuts. DS started before DD and was done before she was done.

We did and the person ignored what I said (barely cut anything. Cut one tiny snip just enough that I can lie to her and say she had a haircut like her baby sister) and gave my kid the haircut from hell. The baby's cut was great though. That person was awesome who cut it.

ETA: my husband was supposed to be supervising. He failed at that and had to deal with my tears over it lol needless to say we are scarred now when it comes to hair cuts.
