Lulu's Kids' Cuts
I did Laurel a major disservice when I tried to cut her bangs for the first time. Despite cutting tips from a professional stylist pal, my efforts rendered a look disturbingly similar to Ralph Wiggam from The Simpsons.
So I gave up on bangs and moved to hairclips. This strategy worked well for the front, but the back – after a recent botched attempt – was looking pretty sorry. Following a strong recommendation from my mama pal Kate, we headed to Lulu's Kids' Cuts last weekend.
Truth be told, when I called to make the appointment I nearly backed out based on the price ($25; cash or check only), but it was worth it. Laurel got a great haircut, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pretty (it’s sort of like a hair salon meets gallery, with artwork, jewelry, and accessories for sale) yet kid friendly, with fun patterned smocks, a playroom downstairs, and ring pops at the end of the journey.

I take my two boys to my own stylist for their haircuts, as well. I pay about $20 Cdn for them, which is pricey as far as my friends are concerned, but well worth it in my mind. Both boys were aces at sitting still and watching in the mirror while they got their first haircuts. They now look forward to going to see Lisa (variously pronounced as Weesa, Leetha, etc) and she does a great professional job. I only once took Gabriel to a "lower-end" place (not even a kid's place) and the result was horrid. Never again, I'll pony up the $20...
