Not sure where Beverly is... But snippets is a good place. My daughter was the same she when she got her first haircut. For bout 20 bucks you get the wash if necessary, cut, certificate, lil box with some of the hair, and a dvd of the whole thing.they have animal and train seats, lots of toys and tv for the kids to watch.

Google would give you other similar places. Fantastic Sams is good too. I've taken her for a cut there too. No bells and whistles. Just a cheap priced good cut.

We take our kids to Kidsnips in Oak Brook, so it's not too far from Hinsdale. They do a great job, they have several kid-distractions (cars to sit in, in addition to traditional chairs, movies for the kids to watch during the hair cut, etc.) and do a nice presentation for the first haircut (they take a picture, save some locks of hair and print a certificate).
Good luck (both my husband and I grew up in Beverly...great area!)
