my 9 month old son's hair is getting really long in back and on the sides. i need to have it cut somewhere where they're used to dealing with babies who never stay still for a minute. anyone have recommendations??? thanks!
Let those precious lock grow until he can sit on his own. you won't believe how attached you become to them.
Snippets in Yorktown Mall is good too - same concept as Cookie Cutters (different little cars/horses to sit on plus DVD's and toys to entertain your child). You can't go wrong at a place like that because the hair stylists are very patient and specialize in cutting hard-to-sit-still babies, toddlers and kids!
If you've got the money, you can try a place like Kid Snips or Cookie Cutters. They take pictures during the haircut and create a take-home certificate for the baby book with a clipping of hair. It's quite precious. Plus, Kid Snips plays a DVD (that you choose, or you can bring) on a personal screen for your child, which will keep your child sitting still. Kid Snips was $24 without tip. That's pretty darn expensive for a simple 10 minute haircut!
We also did the $20ish first haircut at Cookie Cutters. It was cute to have the picture, and the movie worked well. Plus there was a slide to go down afterwards. They also have cute little cars for them to sit in, which helps. After that, we've just gone to great clips...they're good with the kids & get it done fast!
Kidsnips is awesome with little kids - for the first haircut, they take a picture and give you a certificate of first haircut and some of the hair they cut off. It is a great keepsake.
We like Kidsnips in Oak Brook.
